A person could be wearing the ugliest ensemble but if they have great hair you automatically think that\u2019s the in look. It is the one thing that can make anyone beautiful add a little make up and you are stunning.<br \/>\nThere are very practical reasons for wearing one\u2019s hair up of course, like because nothing takes out a beautiful curl like baby spit up. And a little hair in the soup you are making for dinner does not enhance the flavor any. Depending on how long your hair is, cleaning the toilet can leave your hair quite the opposite. I was trying to put my make up on quickly after doing my hair in long beautiful curls like the days when I lived in the city and I got mascara all over one of my locks of hair. My hair isn\u2019t black so having a black streak in it just didn\u2019t look as refined as I wanted it to. And of course my personal favorite reason to wear hair up is just in case you get a chance to workout.

It was practical and beautiful. Then later the ladies seemed to wear rollers during their morning chores. That\u2019s not such a bad idea either. At least it is out of your face and you still look fierce when Daddy gets home. It makes you wonder how modern mothers should do their hair to be comfortable during the day and still look hot for their husbands when they come home from work or look presentable doing work in the yard or visiting teaching.<\/p>\n<p>I have given myself permission to wear my hair up as much as I want if:<\/p>\n<p>1.
