Fashion bloggers are no longer the only ones calling out Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her unflattering scrunchie habit. Now some of Clinton’s staff members want to “ban” her from wearing the accessory altogether. But should we even be concerned with how Hillary styles her hair?
The staffer’s scrunchie comment was revealed in Rachael Combe’s profile on Clinton in the May issue of Elle magazine. Despite the fact that the article only spent a couple paragraphs discussing Hillary’s fashion sensibilities, those few style tidbits have received significant media attention.
Combe wrote: “When [Clinton’s] on the road, she often has [her hair] pulled back in a simple chignon or ponytail, a look that causes Hillary Hair Watchers much chagrin but merely means she’s pressed for time, as a State Department official told me: ‘As a chick, it’s a big pain in the butt. The weather is different, and you’re in and out of the plane. [The staff] gets off that plane looking like garbage most days, but she has to look camera ready. She said the reason she grew her hair long was that it’s easier. She has options.’ The official added, because, it seems, no American alive can resist critiquing Clinton’s hair: ‘But some of us are looking to ban the scrunchies.’”
We’re not so fond of the scrunchie look ourselves. But is it really important that the Secretary of State also be a fashion icon? We think not.
Yet, as Combe herself added, “Feminists and supporters will often wail for everyone to stop focusing on Clinton’s hair and clothes and listen to her ideas, but that’s sort of a backhanded compliment. (People, she’s too smart to care that she looks like crap.)”
What do you think SodaHeads? Should Hillary Clinton’s staff “ban” her from wearing scrunchies? (As if they actually have that kind of power.)

If she should be required to NOT wear any hair items...
A. NO tiaras.
B. NO hijabs ( http://articles.nydailynews.c... )
C. NO hair coverings required by any religions and or theocracy
Americans need to remain true to America. Women and children are NOT property of men.
Slavery of any kind to any theocracy, religion , or outside culture OR style .. is distinctly and properly UNAmerican and those should be shunned.
A ridiculous question.
Makes me wonder about the maturity level of Sodahead employees ... or even IF this "Sodahead Politics" IS a sodahead employee or just someone using the name sodahead to pretend more importance than earned...
And I'm guessing Hillary wouldn't tolerate an employee telling her what she can and can't wear.
Let's let Hillary do her job and if she does land a runway job then maybe she should let the scrunchie go but I don't think it will impact her in any negative way to have a scruchie in her hair when she is dealing with her duties.
