Do Blind Women Style Their Hair?

I’m having a random day today.

I started thinking about this in the shower. I had put on my face wash and remembered that I’d forgotten to use conditioner, so I decided to do that while a chemical was teetering on the edge of scalding my eyes, which of course led me to the thought path of “Do blind people, mainly blind women, style their hair?”

Most women, especially in my age bracket (early 20’s), prefer to have long hair. Assuming that a blind women in my age bracket was on the dating market, you’d think that they’d want to have long hair. Now thinking that a blind person can’t see what their doing to their hair, I’d have to assume that they either look like Edward Scissorhands all the time, or they have a friend, family member, or stylist style their hair.

Of course, they might have given up on dating all together and adopted the flat top. It’s just easy maintenance and it eliminates burdening their friends and family members. Believe me when I say that’s an awesome route to go. When my hair gets long, I have no idea how to manage it so I just cut it the hell off. But you’ve got to believe that no guy is gonna want Jamie Lee Curtis stumbling her way over to him, knocking stuff over with her walking stick.

If I saw a blind women with a crew cut straight out of the GI handbook, I would get depressed. They have given up. So, if you ever see a blind women with beautiful hair, it should put a smile on your face. They can “see” the bright side, so why shouldn’t you?

    the thing is, a blind woman could easily brush her hair and put it into a pony tail, so i think she might have long hair.

    As a woman who is blind, I have worn my hair in various styles … recently cut it short again. There are adaptive ways to style hair, apply make up indepently.
