Flash Fiction: The Hair Wars!!

Write 300 words about one daily gender related task or chore from the opposite Point of View

Men, they always complain about how much time it takes to do their hair, to get it perfectly styled, making sure it’s all in the right place.  They complain about the fact that they have to make sure their bald spots are covered and all grey hairs removed.  They complain about the price of hair products and how it is so difficult to choose the right product to shit their hair and that there are too many choices to pick from – Wax, Gel, Gum, Clay, and Spray etc. etc.

They moan and they hog the bathroom for hours – they say we women are bad but they are worse.  We do our daily routine and management of hair because the guys would mock us if we didn't.  We can manage to walk past a mirror without looking in it, admiring ourselves and checking each strand of hair is perfectly in place and the same length!!!

They think they have hair problems.  But us women we go through worse, we go through pain to make sure we look neat and tidy.  We have more to do in the morning – style hair, cleanse face, put our make-up on, plucking stray hairs, shaving legs, shaving armpits, etc. but we still manage to be in and out of the bathroom in half the time it takes a man to do his daily routine.

And when it comes to products, men don’t know the half of it.  They think hair gel is expensive – try buying make-up – it is very complicated picking the right tone for our skin and are very expensive to buy.

Men may complain but what they go through to look good is nothing compared to what us fairer sex suffer through.  And we do it without much complaining, because if did they’d never listen.
