This is a very poor writer. Not only does this article present a very curt sense of humor, it also overemphasizes unnecessary teases at an array of great towns and cities. Being a native Houstonian myself, I've grown up to learn how to manage with the weather, but this author must be dense if he or she assumes that a lack of salons or humid weather results a city of unsightly hairs. It would be different if this author assessed these matters as a means to "qualify" the facts with actual advice -which, I assume was attempted, however through the poorest techniques was it executed- yet with the author's addition of whatever he or she supposedly thought to be "witty" was, in fact, jeering at other small towns and their culture. The remarks of "wisdom" were not typed to exist in their own ineffective one-liner solitare, but were made to "pack a punch," because according to this author, due to a lack of yellowpage listed hair stylists, it will be "difficult to find hip style" in that area because it is the " top destination for retirees." And who cares?! Is the author suggesting that older people are incapable of creating wonderful NEW things? So yup, tell the producers to cancel James Cameron's next film 'cause 'up, I think he's graying. Oh and Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood should just give all that movie making a rest too. What a disappointment. But how bet we just disregard all of that because this biased columnist has still yet to acknowledge different hair types. Being of African American heritage, my hair reacts differently others, and this can be said for Latinos, Biracials, Asians, Caucasians, curly headed, straight hair, wavy, relaxed, and natural alike- BECAUSE WE'RE ALL DIFFRENT- and there is nothing wrong with that. This piece of evidence just exemplifies this writer's sense of inconsideration. I mean really, what publishing company or online website would want a columnist that advises people to "LEAVE Las Vegas" and "get [their] hair cut by the neighbor's kid"? I have come away from reading this article, not only disgusted at this lack of rhetorical taste but also this unprofessional, facetious, conceited critique of an uneducated online columnist who has most surely written a solid piece of nothing that -through my reading- has wasted moments of my life that I will never get back. What a waste of online published space. And I just turned 18 this month.
