Well the thing is women could cut (maybe trim) their long hair, when they get tired of it - no question. But cutting it off ALL of it at once, partly leaving only stubbles left? This makes no sense in my mind. They go from one extrem to the other ...
I really believe they only cut if for real money, they don't know how much money they could collect in europe if they just show their hair as a hair model, but europe is far a way and the money makes them take the bait ... just a real pity to loose all that lovely hair
