I have a cool hairstyle (see my pic on this page – yes, thats me:) ). But not all are as lucky, like for example YOU. Ever seen yourself in the mirror? It will tell horror stories of enduring you..
Hairstyles are of many types. Some can be changed, some you have to live with. Laloo`s hairstyle for example
I have another friend who is my badminton doubles partner – his hair doesn’t tire standing all year long , defying gravity!!
For some people (especially ladies), having waist-length, thick straight hair and an oval face is not enough. They want to know if curling their hair (and some exactly the opposite – straightening the curly hair) would suit their oval face! Try changing the shape of the face once, dear ladies…
For some people, change is automatic. Their hairstyles change automatically…simple - they start losing their hair.
There was this friend of mine who would ask me: “I have started losing hair in the front. It’s not receding, but thinning. You know anything I can do?”
“Big deal,” I said.
But he would not buy my argument….he insisted that it was a major concern and was even affecting his professional life. When asked how, he would say: “Earlier, when I would make a point, my lady boss used to listen attentively, now she just dismisses my view point as OUTDATED ”.
Another automatic change is from dry hair-to-oily hair. A neighbor once asked my mother: “When I shampoo, my hair become dry.”
“Obviously,” said my mom.
The neighbor would not let go…”But after four days time, my hair becomes oily again. I don`t apply oil at all.”
I wanted to barge in and suggest that she probably had an oil well in her head(tell this to Reliance – and they will drill a hole into her head and extract the oil) – something she could exploit for commercial gains, but I held myself back.
My mother replied: “Change your shampoo. Maybe it takes away all the oil your scalp produces. Start using a conditioner to keep your hair moist.” It was quite a profound answer.
The surprising thing is…the older you get the more concerned you are about your hair. And we thought…it was being Indian to give up all worldly possessions as you age. How many times, we have seen people whom we know are all grey…decked up as Dev Anands, thanks to Godrej hair dye?
There are some who completely transform from NO hair to ALL hair. Rajnikant is one great exponent of this art. He does look GOOD in his wigs and actually makes him the superstar that he is.He also has the guts to come out open in the public with a bald plate,that talks of his unassuming nature.
Talking of wigs, I dearly wish to see how the great Amitabh would actually look without his trademark wig(some people still don’t believe he wears one – poor souls).
Hair raising tales of different nature next time – hair on the ears..ugghhh…
