Punk hair-do!!


This afternoon Ted and I were in PoloPark for some NewYork Fries (these are the best) and then we walked around for a bit. I got a very cute new jacket out of the deal.

As we came out of the mall some ladies were smoking, with one of them having a punk style hair-do. She might have been 50 or so. She had as much hair (and colour) as our four month granddaughter Alyssa. It was all spiked up pinkies with a hint of brown at the edges.

I said to Ted: “She looks like a toilet brush!” To which he replied: “Yes and a used one!”
I thought the spikes are so pointy and stiff, she could aerate my lawn!!

I have nothing against punk hair do’s, I am sure if I were young I even might consider it, hahaha! But when you are 50 plus or something (like me,,,:-) Neh.

Punk Hair Care Tips
These tips are for longevity in styles, but be warned that it doesn't come out for about a week.

(1) For the little freaks out there, gel is your starting point. Good kind of gel is a big tub of something called La Bella. It costs about $4.50 - beware of cheaper rip offs!! Use the blue and green ones - they are the only ones that don’t smell really bad.

(2) Use hairspray - White Rain and Freeze Frame hairsprays are both great. Use loads and loads.

(3) Egg whites: these really stink, so don’t keep it in without hairspray. Slowly make a hole in the egg with a knife or whatever, and let the clear translucent goop creep out; when you start seeing bright yellow - stop! DO NOT USE THE YOLKS.

(4) Knox Gelatin: this stuff works perfect for about a week, but it stinks like crazy! It is pure protein so it will attract flies if you get it wet. Mix in a bowl that you don’t use for anything else. Mix with water, and nuke it for 45-50 seconds. You can find this stuff at the store for like 3 bucks it is the best.

(5) And finally, Elmers glue. This stuff works for people with fine hair or those with curly hair. Pour some onto your hand, grab a hunk of hair, pull and twist upwards. Do not just do one or two spikes, do 6 or 7. These are the A1 pimpin liberty spikes!!
There you have it folks! Have fun!

Hi Truus,
Here some 'the tips for punkhair', I tried them both in my hair (when I was 23-25) and this works fantastic!!! Also cheap ...

You can add this on the list:
6)BEER.. YES!
Because in beer is added sugar, this makes your hair stand up, Bad thing of Beer is...this stinks after a day.. you have to wash your hair daily.

7)GREEN household-yelly-soap (sold in a pot,looks yellow),
This makes your hair look stiff with beautiful 'tuff'points...Good thing about saop is, its clean, its smell like lemon, you don't need soap when you wanna wash your hair haha...AND your hair stays straight up.( can even break, that stiffy it is, haha)
