Why is it normal to get a haircut

[76561199675426607]

It seems like a ridiculous posh luxury thing to me, something like tailor made clothing. How did it ever become normal for plebs to do it?

I used to have hair so long that it would drag the ground behind me, and when people stepped on it my head would snap back. I got tired of going to the chiropractor so I had it cut.

If it's such a "luxury" to you, consider learning how to cut and maintain your own hair.

I already do that, of course. There's no "learning" involved, it's totally easy. Don't even need a mirror.

i love how everyone in here is arguing a haircut is mainly for aesthetics....

Nothing like bedbugs, lice, fleas, etc.... none of these are reasons why haircuts got normalized.... ever...

but OK....

There's more to it than many people realize. The haircut, even if it's self-created, has always said a lot about a person. In history, certain haircuts were intended for different groups and an elaborate haircut indicates that the person may not have to work manually and much more. I personally don't want to lecture anyone just open their eyes to subtle distinctions that not everyone may be aware of. ,-)

makes wigs less obvious.

involving the plebians in ancient rome created plausible deniability about ones hairdresser. just becuase you didn't have a hairdresser slave in your enclave doesn't mean you're wearin a wig; you might just be saving some cash by going to a plebian barber that can't tell you apart from thousands of other aristocrats.

thus it might always be the same size and shape owing to religious barberwork, not a wig you're wearing because talc powder made you bald at 28.

I also heard that the first person to really consider the idea was a hashishan who almost had the scalp on their skinsuit ruined by having the wig tugged on.

Get a buzz cut. It's easy to do and you can save $5000 by doing it yourself.
