Not only can you not braid hair, you can't comb hair. Because you might pull some out, and that is considered shearing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If I only had a brain...
Does everybody look scruffy Saturday morning?

It's can be a sign of piety to look a little scruffy on the Sabbath. When DH was going to the Orthodox synagogue fairly frequently, he would sometimes apologize for being whiskery, and the rabbi would always tell him that it was better that he didn't break the sabbath by shaving. Of course, he'd drive to service because we didn't live nearby, but he'd park around the corner to preserve appearances.
I imagine if it's a part of your weekly routine you can manage to look more presentable.

I think in our fifties you and I should merge in some super hero fashion into a Big Momma entity. We'll bake pies, share wigs, and fight crime.
Back from lunch and loving this idea. And I could totally be a Big Momma. Big Momma is an attitude, not a physical state.

Also, it would be great to have a legitimate reason for not combing my hair on the weekends instead of my current reason, rampant laziness.

Argh. I stayed out late for the Firefly preview and then spent the morning being bored in high school math classes... I've got another two and a half hours of work to go, and I just want to fall asleep.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Everyone walking to the synagogue in my neighborhood looks spiffy. But it could be that I'm distracted by the pretty hats.

Aha, pretty hats cover uncombed hair. It all makes so much sense.

I think the mandatory head-covering helps to hide the mandatory-no-hair-brushing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(of course, for some of us, the look is more bedhead + ball cap)
