You run into them one day. They're messing with their long
hair and complaining.

"My hair is too long! I get too hot when the weather is warm!
It takes too much time to keep up! I hate having it this long!

Tip #1: Don't say anything. Just nod and agree. Why? Read on.

Next day. The hair isn't just shoulder-length....it's shorter.

And they're smiling.

"Look! I cut my hair! It's sooooo much cooler! I don't have
to spend a lot of time on it any more! Don't you like it??"

Tip#2: Nod and agree. Then quickly leave the area.

However, the day later.....

"I hate my hair! It's too short! I can't do anything with it!
Look! I can't even put it up in a pony tail! It keeps getting
in my face! See her?? (Points to woman with long hair.)
Her hair is sooooo beautiful! I wish I had long hair!!"

Tip #3: Nod and agree, then quietly sneak away before
she asks you why you didn't stop her from cutting
her hair in the first place. Don't talk to her again until
she can put her hair back into a pony tail. (3 - 6 weeks)
