People are saying the complaints are about her African-American hair rather than a messy hair thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-248738 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:09:59 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 248738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently the gymnasts are confused by the hair criticism:<br /> <a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/olympics/gymnastics/story/gabby-douglas-gold-medalist-confused-over-hair-comments-080512" rel="nofollow">http://msn.foxsports.com/olympics/gymnastics/story/gabby-douglas-gold-medalist-confused-over-hair-comments-080512</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-244077 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:23:09 +0000 owlmom 244077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: very true :) And honestly, all of those girls are so incredible, who am I to judge? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243872 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:06:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 243872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlmom: hahaha I know right... lol But they are young teens... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243870 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:05:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 243870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that I was so spoiled by Make It or Break It where they always have wonderful hairstyles... I expected them to hair it tightly braided into a bun or even slicked back and some type of updo in the back. I agree it didn't look very good... but whatever, I guess that's just how they like their hair and that's their choice...</p> <p>Make it or break it: </p> [attach=1597/12/m83h9e.480x320.gynasts.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243857 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:57:51 +0000 autumnlove 243857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eiko2010: I'm rocking the USA look today but I stayed home sick! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243850 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:53:40 +0000 birdofafeather 243850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i said the same thing last night! why was the bun so messy? they all have tons of makeup but the hair is horrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243674 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:32:21 +0000 littlebug 243674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: EXACTLY! That was my first thought, that they looked like me as a college freshman barely making it to my 8am class still smelling like last night's frat party! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243600 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:47:50 +0000 immabeetoo 243600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I said the SAME thing last night - I'd much rather see a full pony tail or a nice bun, the half tuck looks like they overslept for a final exam to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243545 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:22:56 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 243545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: I thought scrunchies were making a comeback! They are all over the Urban Outfitters catalogue. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243542 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:22:01 +0000 MsLipGloss 243542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JHoller25: This is gymnastics, yo! Scrunchies are de rigueur, especially for the Eastern Block/former Soviet countries. It is the same principle that lends itself to other gymnastic canons such as blue eyeshadow, glitter hairspray/gel, and insane amounts of snap barettes to tame every last random hair. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243531 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:13:21 +0000 Smurfette 243531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: agreed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243473 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:49:52 +0000 PrincessBaby 243473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one minded the scrunchies? I could handle the messy hair but the scrunchy- on global tv--whaaaaa????? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243461 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:45:41 +0000 autumnlove 243461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Yes, from the Trials! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243217 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 10:47:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 243217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't mind Ali's hair, more of a messy bun, however I'm like you are in the Olympics, do something with your hair to the pony under! I think some do that so the ponytail doesn't "whip" and hit htem in the face or distract them, however that is what a bun is for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243204 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 10:38:30 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 243204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heh, mr jacks is the best gymnastics commentator and one of his comments last night was about how on the most important day of their lives to date that they couldn't be bothered to finish doing their hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243194 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 10:33:29 +0000 littlebug 243194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed it, too, and it bothered me. Silly, but I feel like you should represent yourselves, and our country, a bit better than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243189 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 10:31:17 +0000 photojane 243189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ack. totally noticed this, and i don't get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243153 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 10:18:56 +0000 DillonLion 243153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Haha oh gosh is this pic from the middle of her face planting on her bars routine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-243152 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 10:18:24 +0000 Meridian 243152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YESSS... their messy hair totally bugged me too!! I miss the days of the slicked back bun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-242919 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 08:22:08 +0000 tororojo 242919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>McKayla's hair bothers me the most because she's got a giant tail hanging out the bottom underneath the loop. I don't mind Gabby's or Kyla's because there isn't a lot going on under the bun/loop part. I don't know why they can't just wear buns, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-242863 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 07:26:43 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 242863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hair was bugging me to, but I like that their clips matched their hair color -- the Russians each used like twelve different colored clips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-242856 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 07:15:27 +0000 autumnlove 242856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: @brownie: I didn't notice her hair at Trials but I just looked it up...whoa! </p> [attach=1791/12/m82sum.580x474.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-242855 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 07:14:54 +0000 Cole 242855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw that and was bewildered too! That is the type of thing they will look back on in 30 years and wonder why no one made them fix their hair nicely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-242843 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 06:59:55 +0000 Andrea 242843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for bringing this up because it was driving me crazy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-242842 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 06:59:02 +0000 bpcmarj 242842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed the same thing! I even said to DH the other night that you would think they would fix their hair better for the biggest competition they'll ever be in!</p> <p>@owlmom: That glitter gel was epic. Especially on the one with the intense eye makeup, just brought it right up a notch! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-242819 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 06:00:07 +0000 SleepyMonkey 242819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally noticed this too! Its reaalllly annoying to me haha. I'm so accustomed to seeing perfect ponytails or buns. Kids these days! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/messy-hair-on-usa-gymnasts#post-242784 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 01:41:59 +0000 autumnlove 242784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All that effort to slick back from the face with 10 bobby pins and clips to just have sloppy half-looped ponytail?!? </p>
