Wichita Hairstylist Snips at Haircutting World Record
By Larry Knowles - AOL News(Aug. 31) -- When it comes to hairstyling, Patrick Lomantini stands 227 cuts above the rest. That's because the 42-year-old stylist recently gave that many haircuts during a 72-hour period in a bid to set a Guinness World Record in endurance haircutting. The attempt, staged at Lomantini's salon in Wichita, Kan., took place from Aug. 19 to 22. To ensure a steady supply of customers, Lomantini offered haircuts free of charge, with all tips and donations going to the Kansas Humane Society. During the three-day affair, Lomantini relied on a 12-person support team to clean the work area, do ...
Tim Tebow's Tonsure: How an NFL Player Is Like Saint Francis of Assisi
By David Gibson - Politics DailySo would-be NFL star Tim Tebow, of collegiate fame and pro-life renown, underwent some rookie hazing at the Denver Broncos' training camp, which has drawn much notice because of the distinctive hair style he now wears. Veteran linebacker Wesley Woodyard said he tried to make Tebow look like the Statue of Liberty by shaving the top and bottom of his head, leaving a ring of hair. "It was my vision," Woodyard said. Others saw something else, namely a tonsure like the kind Saint Francis and other monks of the time (that'd be the 13th century) traditionally wore. I don't think it takes a ...
Iran Takes the Scissors to Western Hairstyles
By Theunis Bates - AOL News(July 6) -- Worried that Western ideas might be seeping into -- and onto -- the heads of their nation's young men, Iran's religious leaders have issued a catalog of acceptable "Islamic" male haircuts. Ponytails, spikes, mullets and Mohawks are now forbidden, but Elvis-style locks, floppy fringes and Simon Cowell-esque flattops get the ayatollahs' seal of approval. The entire selection of state-sanctioned styles will be revealed later this month at Tehran's Modesty and Veil Festival, whose organizers -- with help from Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance -- designed the hair guide. ...
Bad Hair Day? Madison Avenue Can Fix It -- and Fix You, Too
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailySurprise surprise. Yet another study pathologizes a common and trivial life disappointment -- bad hair days. So says Wall Street Journal, reporting on a new Procter & Gamble study. The company wants to know why their Pantene brand is not selling better. Wall Street Journal writes: "Scientists at the consumer-products giant surveyed women and found they felt less 'hostile,' 'ashamed,' 'nervous,' 'guilty' or 'jittery,' depending on the hair products they used, while at other times they said they felt more 'excited,' 'proud' and 'interested.' Users of a new version of Pantene, one researcher ...
Women and Their Hair: A Love Story
By Donna Trussell - Politics Daily"How can women think with all this hair?" That quote is from an inconsequential bit of fluff, "Switch," a 1991 movie starring Ellen Barkin. Plot: a sexist man gets murdered by three ex-girlfriends and is reincarnated as a woman, whereupon he gets a taste of his own medicine. Silly movie. Classic quote. How indeed? You can pass all the equality laws you want, but there is one arena in which men and women will forever diverge. Women are obsessed with hair. Men, on the other hand, tend to notice hair when it's so long they can no longer see. (Or when it disappears, but that's another story.) ...
On the Style and Substance of Hillary Clinton
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyJill, I actually liked Hillary Clinton's shorter haircut better, but I only caught the audio of the speech Wednesday, so I missed the new, longer hair look. What I did catch was how much of the speech was dedicated to acknowledging that it was the president who set the foreign policy agenda and outlining the specific roles Clinton would be taking on. ...
