Let me describe myself, my hair, my history, and my obsession.
I absolutely love my hair. I was a long hair by choice, but I love style. I have been described by barbers and stylistgs as having perfect hair.-"oh, you have hair we can do anything with. It is extremely thick, wavey, will blow dry into anything, healthy. I started out as a blonde and it turned dark brown by age eighteen. I first realized I had a hair fetish at about 12 years old . I am now 55, but I still have the same body and can wear the same clothes that I did 40 years ago: 55, 5'10"", 145 pounds, thin- but muscular, wirey, broad shoulders; I have been told I am attractive. Still the same hair. It's grayed, but I dye it. I've wrinkled, but I botox it.
At thirteen I realized I wanted long hair- At that time, that meant letting fenders grow on my flattop. What an experience! I was told I looked like a juvinile delimquent, a hood, etc.(which I would be glad to discuss). The Beatles came when I was eighteen and I let it grow more. In the preceeding meantime I had the "coolest flat top with fenders" that had ever been.My influence was Pachuco-zoot suiter-like that. I am Apache Irish. Does that strike anything for you?
I began to let my hair grow in the late sixties-had the best of the rock and roll trend. I began "shag cuts"in the seventies, and also learned to cut them. I moved back to the res in 1976, and cut my own and every cool guy's head into
