I generally have had a bob, long hair or an angled bob my whole life. Very briefly, in 1986-87 my hair was feathered with bangs, but I quickly learned that bangs look horrible on me. Also I tend to cut my own hair, and have since about 1990, so a bob the length of the mirror works for me. Any time I go to the hairdresser, I get "mom hair".

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So what makes a hair cut "mom hair"?
WOW! Just clicked on the Rachel Maddow link!! WOW.
Hee. It wasn't really relevant, but any excuse to post that!
Rachel Maddow at 18 looked just as beautiful.
I grew out my bangs for the first time in years. I don't know. I feel like hair often has limited options. Or rather my hair.
She looks great, but can you imagine her with that hair still?
Nope. It's certainly a shock given what you expect
My mom doesn't get into new music and has had the same haircut for as long as I can remember, but she's in love with life and one of the most open minded people I know. I do wish I could talk her into playing with a different hairstyle, but she's pretty set in that regard. Like Trudy said, she just feels comfortable with the cut.
Change can also be bad. My mother had a terrible perm in like 1992. She'd always wanted curly hair... she looked like a poodle.
She looks like a different person.
