Attack of the Holiday Hair

I’ll stop trying to type now. Damn Nyquil.

Kimberly- do you remember the days when we all teased and curled our bangs into this insidious claw thing? That was awesome.

OMG, the claw bang thing. I had a friend who used to tease hers so they stood up straight. We measured the claw once and it stood 5 inches high.

I so do NOT miss the 80′s.

Yeah, Amanda, but did you guys do the advanced, *two-layer* claw of bangs? Where there’s the vertical claw _and_ the horizontal claw?

Now there’s a hairstyle. I still see it occasionally.

Yes lulu, exactly! I’m amazed that I have any hair in the front of my head after all of that abuse. Who came up with that crap in the first place?

Scott- twelve steps bebe, twelve steps…

lol! You know a hairstyle has gone wrong when you find yourself hairspraying the backside of your bangs.

Mine never reached 5 inches, but it did used to brush the roof of compact cars.

That hair TOTALLY reminds me of a church choir concert I sang in (well, lip synced in – they wouldn’t actually ALLOW ME TO SING) in 1987. I have naturally curly hair, and Mom (of 1960′s Southern Big Hair Heritage) decided I needed it rolled as well. Hide the Aqua Net! Dooce is curled!

Hu-ho… Watch out 2005!

You look like one of the original Charlie’s Angels… You are so retro!

And make-up too…wow!

Try the larger Velcro rollers Heather.

Personally, I like the messed up big curl look!

I dont see what’s wrong with Heather’s hair in that picture… my hair looks like that every day, except its natural. Okay, I’m kidding, the hair looks almost ‘flock of seagull-y’!

And Jon, you would GRR if Heather was BALD – and that’s why we all love you so much!

Amanda B – I’d be lucky if I could make it two steps without face-planting with all the Willy Wonka candies and elephant tranquilizers running through my system.

“The Claw” is rad! My yearbooks are nothing but various studies of abstract claw hair art. Just don’t get me started on my bleached skater bangs at the time. WTF?

I like the picture, whether you like the hair or not. My hair is in an uproar now, too. I just got my shoulder length, curly permed hair cut in layers, and I must blow dry it every day. I haven’t had to use a dryer on my hair in forever, so it’s taking some time to get used to doing it. And um..it SUCKS!

Amanda/Lulu – I remember those days too. Windproof tunnel tested, bulletproof hair. Hair so damn big you couldn’t get a sweater on over it. But it wasn’t manly to use a curling iron, so I’d have to blow dry it while twisting the brush through it, slooooowly. I miss those days.

Well, if “the husband” thinks it’s sexy, then I say go for it! If it will make you feel better, just throw black cloths over all the mirrors in your house like they do for a Jewish wake.

With that hair I expect to hear a big southern accent. Come on dooce, let us hear it…

I can totally see you dressed up like two things:

First a flapper from “Throughly Modern Millie”

Second, Shirley Temple singing On the GooD Ship Lolly Pop twisting your index finger into your dimples!

Rock the fro, Dooce!

Um, wow. It’s…different. Very brave, but curlers are evil and must be destroyed.

Now how can you not crack a smile with that ‘do?

Ya gotta love hair that’s a-bouncin’ and behavin’. Nice job, Heather! I hope 2005 finds you, Jon and Leta healthy, happy and full of the same incredible wonderfulness that is Dooce.

Holy shit.

The only way to go with those things is to take them out one millisecond after you put them in. Then it’s only a little curly and it doesn’t have the chance to go all Shirley Temple on you.

My fav guy look was the Feather…and Spray. Now Feather…and quickly…Spray.

Julie- howdy!

Funny how straight-haired girls curl their hair for the holiday and curly-haired girls straighten theirs.

I actually think it looks really cool, sorta punk-rock 1920s screen siren.
