Dark Roots

I feel it is necessary to note why Clinton’s “dark roots” are one of many reasons for me not liking her. If nothing else, this is largely predicated on my fear of seeming like a sexist. Again, trust me, it is not that.

While it is status quo for women to color their or “highlight” hair, I find it to be a little vain. I am going to call myself on hypocrisy, because I have dated and adored more than one woman who does highlight their hair. In addition, if I am going to criticize highlighting, I should be criticizing makeup, and I am not.

At the end of the day, for me it has more to do with the thought that it represents Clinton being disingenuous, and perhaps, for me, it’s an overall comment on society that so many women feel it necessary to color their hair. To have a President of the United States coloring his or her hair, would be a warranting of the status quo. And, if one is going to be President of the US, please have a dye job/hair cut not to show off the truth lying underneath the coloring.

Come on Hillary, if Bill can have a $200-plus haircut on LAX from Rubénsilver, or whomever, you can do something about your atrocious hair.

Sidenote: I would say the exact same thing if any of the male candidates highlighted their hair, and had exposed dark roots!
