HAIR AND POLITICS
This is Yulia Tymoshenko. She’s the Ukraine’s former Prime Minister. When I saw photos of her, her style, and especially her hair, a shiver went up my spine.
Aesthetics matter. Aesthetics are powerful. HAIR is powerful. If Mrs Tymoshenko simply wore her stylish wardrobe (for which she’s also well known), she would only look like a beautiful and fashionable woman. But wearing a traditional braid together with a wardrobe that’s conservative yet feminine, traditional yet modern, professional yet soft tells the public that she expects the world to respect her as a leader.
And apparently it does. Considered a threat to her political arch nemesis, Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych, she was recently sentenced to 7 years in prison over an “abuse of power” where Yanukovych is largely considered to have been responsible for her imprisonment. However, the United States and European Union considered the trial and verdict to have been both unjust and politically motivated and have called for her release.
Hair. It matters.

HOW TO TRAVEL WITH HAIRCUTTING SHEARS AND RAZOR
A lot of people are under the assumption that one cannot travel with haircutting shears and haircutting razors or carry them on a plane. Well, Hair Friend has used its hard hitting investigative reporting to confirm that it is indeed possible to travel with shears and razors.
I know, crazy, right? Here’s the deal. According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website (they’re the guys who are in charge of airport security in the US of A), it’s okay to travel with “Scissors - metal with pointed tips and blades shorter than four inches” in both carry on luggage and checked in luggage. Woo hoo!
However, “Razor-Type Blades - such as box cutters, utility knives, and safety razor blades (disposable razors and their cartridges are permitted)” cannot travel in carry on luggage but can travel in checked in luggage. Wop wop.
As rules, regulations and laws are always changing, I always make sure to check the TSA website before traveling to double/triple check that nothing has changed. For more information about traveling with tricky items, check out the TSA website and prohibited items page. If anything, it’s interesting to see what’s actually allowed onto flights. Apparently sabers must be checked in. So I guess my Star Wars light saber will have to be packed away.
Sigh.
*TSA NOTE: Any sharp objects in checked baggage should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and Security Officers.
