Hair, more than a cut
Next to the
weather, hair
may rank as the
most frequent
ly discussed
topic. It's cer
tainly one of
the most flexi
ble fashion
assets. In a
matter of
minutes, a new
haircut can
carry us from
one decade to
the next,
elevate us from
uni-level to bi
level, trans
form us from
blonde to eye
straining red,
drive us from
straight to
curly.
Hair is a constant source of manipulation. We hate it; we
like it. We cut it; we curl it. We dye it, iron it, hide it. We
“grow it out," blow dry it, gel it, style it. It will never be left
alone — not in conversation, and certainly not to grow any
which way it pleases. »
Most University students surveyed this Fall give their hair
considerable thought, findings that led us to conclude that
most students are:
•Pleased with their look.
•Striving for practicality.
•Not too big on chemicals.
•Very big on the compliments that their hair
elicits.
•Willing to try something new in case of boredom
or general burnout.
Students have some interesting thoughts on what hair
stylists say makes a bigger statement about ourselves than
anything else in the entire world.

Tamara Tiffany, junior, mentioned that she receives numerous compliments from women about her hair. "People always ask me 'is it natural?'
'what do I do to it?' " Tiffany said. What does she do to it? "Nothing. It's natural. I just wash it." Nor is she any longer bothered by its waviness.
"I used to mind it. Not anymore."

Andre Barde, junior, told us that his hair is usually shorter, but the
length often "depends on his mood He likes it short because it's
easier to manage and all he has to do is wet and gel it. It's naturally
curly, something that doesn't annoy him. "Everyone always wants the
kind of hair they don't have," Barde said, "but I'm satisfied."
Lilly Gille, freshman, calls her hair a "short bi-level." "I had it cut two
weeks before college started," Gille said. 'With dorm life you need
something practical." Though she admits that the perm is "for style,"
the shortness of the cut allows her to "just run to class." In fact, Gille
was just running for an off-campus trim.
(daureen Kirkeby, freshman, has always kepi her hair long. For many
years* all kinds p( people have envied her hair. "It's |he volume," she
said. "But the color helps a lot to6." Though she has a permanent, all
she does to her hair is wash and brush it. "That's it. I doubt I'll ever
do anything drastic to it."
leff Delkin, senior, receives comments frequently from women about
his hair. "Women love it,” Delkin said. His haircut came from a hair
modelling stint he did this summer."The stylist wanted to make it
black and white and spiral it, but this was as far as I'd go." Delkin
doesn't even bother to comb his hair. He* just washes it. "I like it to
look long without feeling long. Besides. I can hear better.”
Laura McDougall, freshman, told us her hair was inspired by a French
style. She had it cut in June and mentioned that her parents thought
it a little daring. "I do get weird looks," McDougall said. "I don't
think my hair's punk, but a lot of people call it that. They also don't
believe the color is natural. ' (The color is a flaming auburn/red,
though McDougall has always called it "red".)
Sarah McCracken, sophomore, just had her hair cut. McCracken in
dicated that has a heavy dose of trust in her stylist. "I just went in and
told her to do whatever she wanted. Just have fun with it." Certainly
McCracken has one of the more fashionable cuts we saw on campus,
but beauty doesn't come without some sacrifice — and energy. "I
just wash it, gel and style it, curl it, and let it go," McCracken said.
Lisa Hastings, freshman,
told us she just had her
naturally wavy blonde
hair "cut in layers.” She
likes it and believes it
has a lot more style now
than when it was "long
and blah." Even though
her hair is the subject of
many compliments with
its updated style, she
figures she’ll eventually
tire of it and try
something new.
