Reply to: Should I get my hair curled?

[_V_]

Perhaps being bald is a better outcome.

Or having a sex change if you like long hair.

This ^^

When I'm outside on a breezy day, my hair flaps about all over the place, and in my face. Drives me potty.

I don't know how women (or hippy guys) with long hair put up with it without pigtails or similar, or a hat, to hold it in place.

The James May look?

Work is just a pain for that sort of thing. All this 'looking professional' nonsense gets quite wearing sometimes.

Very good, education not wasted on you!

I wish: will not get away with it in current job, also as a daily style that is far too much aggro!

I've seen Mohican wearers in the working week. They just have a curtain of hair which they cover their bald bits with.

Wait until you get my invoice for time spent giving you an answer to your predicament. That'll make it curl for sure.

I misread this as 'curried' FYI. Either way it sounds fun. My hair got very long in lockdown 1 and is naturally curly, so my wife straightened it for me... I looked like one of the Beatles or possibly an early Justin Bieber. I quite liked it though it got in my eyes a lot.

Sounds discriminatory. Ask them if they'd tell a black person their 'fro was unprofessional

I say go for it, you can always have a mobile hairdresser come to your house to do the deed.
Get a couple of photos that we can have a giggle over

Do it now girl, don't wait for fate.

I have some thing similar planned, when the day comes that I will need full on chemo, and before my hair falls out I am going to try a Mohican!

What with all this Covid hoo-hah, and barbers being closed, I haven't had a haircut for over a year now, and my hair is well below my collar.

My neighbur offered to give me a free haircut, but bearing in mind her husband's recently adopted pudding basin hair style, I politely declined.

But now it is longer than it has ever been, I wondered if it might be a laugh to get it curled for once, to see how it looked. (I am not receding, touch wood, so a curly hair style might look quite fetching.)

Anyone had this done? How long does it last? Is it a sod to comb? Or is it really expensive? (Not that the money worries me much if it is a one-off and lasts months).

Will I have to sit for three hours in a ladies hairdresser, the only guy, with passers by snickering, and surrounded by women discussing last night's episode of Coronation Street?

If it's been a year, you'll probably be better off hiring a proficient gardener. You should be able to get someone decent for about £30 an hour. Steer clear of the curling idea, unless you want to look like a German footballer. Or to put it another way, people will think you're a Kuntz...

Very true but I think he ought to go somewhere traditional for the shampoo and set and lots of local gossip
