It’s amazing how some men feel entitled to dictate their wives’ hairstyles. Take, for instance, the infamous Jim Bob Duggar, who sets style rules for his wife and daughters. But he’s not alone; many husbands have strong opinions about their wives’ hair, and some even impose restrictions on cutting it. What is this nonsense?
It seems a lot of men prefer long hair and have completely overlooked the fact that women should have the freedom to style their hair however they choose. Yes, bodily autonomy clearly extends to hair! Someone needs to fill these guys in before they get the proverbial wake-up call they so desperately need.
One woman shared her struggle with her partner, saying he dislikes short hair on “larger” women, which only adds to her body image issues. She feels trapped in her own style, wearing long hair that she doesn’t enjoy, cutting her bangs at home because her husband forbids salon visits. Another confessor mentioned how her boyfriend finds her long hair sexy, so she’s not considering a cut, regardless of what he wants.
Some comments reflect frustration with control; one woman had to pretend to like a haircut she didn’t, all because her husband disapproved. Another expressed annoyance at being treated like a child, with restrictions on her clothing and hairstyle. It raises the question—why are these men so fixated on long hair? Is it rooted in misogyny or a reflection of their own toxic masculinity?
One woman realized her husband’s love for her changed when she chopped off her hair. Another shared that her husband said he wouldn’t be attracted to her if she cut her hair short. It’s baffling how some men can be so shallow, equating a woman’s worth or attractiveness with her hairstyle.
In an interesting twist, one husband even confessed his discomfort with his wife’s new short hairstyle, proving that the obsession with hair isn’t one-sided.
If your family has opinions about your hair, it might be time for a change. Ladies, don’t let anyone dictate your hairstyle—if they can’t find you attractive, that’s their issue, not yours. Prioritize your happiness and go for the look you’ve always wanted.
