So recently Japan held a Hair Show. Down the runway came the latest cutting edge (bad pun intended) hair styles. I can tell you this, I’ve seen the future and it looks like we spend a lot of time doing break dance spins on our heads.
The styles in the Hair Show aren’t exactly the styles you’ll see gracing the escalators at the local mall. Actually, I think I've achieved some of these looks, in the morning, after my cat has slept on my head.
I just have one question. What’s wrong with subtle cuts that say “don’t I look pretty", instead of "don’t I look pretty deranged?”
“The Posh Bob”, “The Rachel”, “The Farrah Hot Dog Holder”, “The Mia Farrow I’m carrying Satan’s Baby”. These were all cuts that were not only appropriate for every day living but they actually complimented people’s faces.
Oddly enough, according to the Hair Show, bangs are still in in the future. You know the other models were jealous that they didn’t get the bangs. They were probably thinking “why do I have to sit for 3 hours of styling, only to end up looking like I’ve had my hair styled by rabid squirrels?”
The good news about seeing this video is, it made me stop worrying about the future of the economy, because in the future we’ll have bigger concerns,
like how we’re going to get through airport security with hair that looks like we’re smuggling a bazooka.

haha. The more styles the merrier, right?
On a hair note, I tried honey as a pre-shampoo treatment on damp hair, and it didn't work any miracles in terms of overwhelming softening or silkiness after I was all done washing and styling. It did make my hair feel thicker though.

The guy near the end with the orange perm = the only future I want to be in.

I think I prefer the Terminator style apocalypse to this.
Any chance that some of thses are wigs? Terrible...terrible wigs?

We can only pray they are, Jessica. Actually I'm pretty sure the one with the zipper is, unless the Japanese are a lot more advanced than I even imagined.

I feel like this hair show was trying to hard to look edgy. It is kinda amazing to create that kind of hairstyles but they are not practical or pretty (at least for me). The first picture, it's not a hat right?? ;-)

Oh my gosh. If the future's hair will be like these, I'd rather have my hair cut.
