My Hair Through the ages...The Good times and the Bad!

The Golden Years;
Age: 16 ish

Good: That manageable Lumber Jack/surfer/90s hair do gave me no probems & I felt wild man!

Bad: Later Turned into a Mushroom/Frodo Baggins (complete with curly locks).
Treatment: Simply to "Grow it" - this "do" was going all the way!

 

The School Daze;
Age: 17ish

Good: It was getting there - not quite long enough to pony tail...

Bad: curly locks started to take over the world, people began to suspect I was hiding weapons of mass destruction in my hair, nay I said.
Treatment: Simply to "Put a Bobble in", and attempt to at least kept the spring loaded destructive power of my curls at bay - fortunately nobody was injured.
Extra: People began to call me Jesus, I took a deep breath and told them..."It is you who say it...but frankly I think you're completely mad, now be gone foul demons!"

 

The Uni Years;
Age: 19ish

Good: Operation "pony tail" complete, ah the times we had (thats me rolling down the hill, having the greatest time ever with my hair, oh yeah and thats neil on the left, feeling left out...ha.ha.ha!)

Bad: The hair looked like crap, I couldn't afford to support both of us on my poor student income.
Treatment: Hair disappeared New years eve 2000. A new millenium, a new hair, a new Nation!
Extra: Neil cut it, I feel he had something personal against the pony tail as he hacked it off in pure rage, with the aid of a pair of paper scissors. The pony tail still remains until this day in a shoprite food bag. [here comes a new song; the Tale of the Pony Tail's tail!]

The Guiness Wig #1 - "the curly sue" (Yn Chruinnaght 2002)

Good: I felt naked without my pony tail, I resorted to the use of wigs. This meant drinking lots of guinness and trying to not look suspicious - people would stand and stare as I rushed through the supermarket like a lost ferret. I would say to them..."it's not my fault - I was born like this!" and scuttle off to the checkout.

Bad: Too Itchy and makes you look like you've either a) Not eaten your crusts b) Turned up the tranny, as Davina and Adamina are demonstrating rather well here. (NB. I simply refer 'tranny' to an old fashioned transistor radio).

The Guiness Wig #2 - the semi Kojak
Good: more guinness and a funny wig !

Bad: Makes you're head sweat something rotten, and its such a tight fit, it actually gives you a permanent surprised expression, I was actually feeling very sad in this photo.
