Venezuelan president calls for ban an hair dryers

[OnMyWayID 1,489]

From the article:

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has declared that "a woman looks better when she runs her fingers through her hair and lets it dry naturally," in a bid to help save electricity in the midst of the country's energy crisis.

As reported in The Independent, government officials have been offering Venezuelan women alternative tips on drying their hair - a first for any political party. Forget budgets and foreign affairs, Maduro is now meddling with the country's beauty routine.

The beauty decree

The 65th President of Venezuela has asked women to use hairdryers only on "special occasions." Luckily there is at least some authenticity to all his hot air, being a man who favors the natural air-dried effect, over a barnet perfected with tongs and a dryer.

"It is just an idea I have," admits Maduro, who has already given his citizens Fridays off to save on energy. But his amateur beauty thoughts are facing the wrath of the country's glossy-of-mane, well-manicured women. "If the President thinks that not blow-drying our hair is going to help, then the problem is far worse than we thought," one woman told Al Jazeera.

Angering Venezolanas is not good for one's health or long-term survival prospects.

It probably won't be long before Ecuador's de facto dictator, who aspires to be Hugo Chavez Jr., tries to pull something similar. These full-of-themselves "presidents" live lavish lifestyles while oppressing their people. "Do as I decree, not as I do."
