It's flattering, not fussy, and probably easy to keep.

Hillary has taken all kinds of shit about her hair for as long as I can remember her being in the public eye. Remember her headbands, back during the 1992 campaign? CRIMINY, you'd have thought she was doing some skinhead thing, the uproar about it. Everybody judging everything she did and how she looked and dressed. People made such a fuss about her headbands. I had long hair and wore headbands all the time, too, back then. To keep it outta my FACE! So I can relate. And she looked good with a headband on, too.

I kept thinking - "what's it to you, anyway?"

I do too. leftofcool Apr 2015 #1

Even if you don't care for her - and I'm not a huge fan - why focus on her appearance in a negative nomorenomore08 Apr 2015 #29

I thought women running for president don't have worry about their "look" valerief Apr 2015 #27
Oh, they do. The political world is still blatantly unfair in that respect. n/t nomorenomore08 Apr 2015 #30

I'm not sure if the OP is a Clinton supporter or not. Either way, it does seem unnecessary. n/t nomorenomore08 Apr 2015 #32

She's indicated she wants to be called "Hillary". This goes along with her campaign symbol, PoliticAverse Jul 2015 #51
Which, 3 and half months later, has what to do with her hairstyle? Thor_MN Jul 2015 #53
It's weak. Bernie Sanders has the best hair in this race. Cheese Sandwich Apr 2015 #38
This is just as sexist as others comments on her looks. morningfog Apr 2015 #43
I thought we weren't supposed to comment on her appearance? merrily May 2015 #45
IMHO, we are allowed to say positive things about all candidates. MoonRiver May 2015 #47
Again, I thought we were not supposed to comment (positive or negative) about her appearance. merrily May 2015 #48
