not totally sure about the clothing - i think the full coverage aspect is a rule, but i suspect the form is too - since the foster care homes had to learn to sew those particular dressses for the children. the hair thing is interesting. the only form of vanity that is tolerated is the "poof" thing in the front above the forehead. so a bigger poof is deemed more attractive. so they kind of compete to see who can have the bigger poof.

About the hair: the thing is, they're not allowed makeup or anything overtly artificial. BUT, women being women, they want to look attractive (it's all relative) and compete with one another, so one of the few things they can do is create elaborate hairstyles. AND, I believe they're very into skincare (no makeup but pretty skin). [ Reply | More

I just read an article on it. Maybe the basic shape--long, modestly pulled back is dictated--but the elaborte teasing and updos is definitly a style choice. [ Reply | More
