MANE MISERY | 44% of women say their mood is worse when their 'do just doesn't behave
Bad-hair days are bad news for nearly half the female population, a new national poll says.
"Hair is a big thing for women, and, if it's not behaving, it can be a bit traumatizing," said Lisa Lee Freeman, editor in chief of ShopSmart magazine, which conducted a national telephone poll of 1,031 women. The magazine, published by Consumer Reports, lists women's biggest gripes about their hair:
• Too thin or fine
• Bad color
• Too curly or frizzy
• Too dry or damaged
• Too thick
• Takes too long to style
• Too straight
• Unmanageable
• Going gray
• Falling out
Other findings:
• Women get their hair cut an average of five times a year, at an average annual cost of about $195, or about $39 a cut, not including tip.
• About half of women say they color their hair.
• Of those, about half do their own dye jobs and half get their hair dyed at a salon four times a year, at an average annual cost of $260, or $65 a trip.
• One-fourth of women have cried after getting a haircut.
• About one-third have regretted changing a hairstyle.
• Women wash their hair an average of four times a week.
• Twelve percent said they had drastically changed their hair color after a breakup, job loss or other life-changing event.
