Silly Hair

It's an amazing thing what a teenage boy will do with his hair just to receive the ever so encouraging,"You look so s-e-x-y!", from a teenaged girl. Excuse me while I gag loudly and say eyew! Believe me, my teenager as absolutely gorgeous hair. It's dark, thick, wavy, and grows quickly. Early in the waterpolo season, he picked a tournament and his ever present clippers to have his head shaved into a large mohawk with checkerboard sides. It was definitely an artistic statement. But, it's hard to maintain that large hawk with gel etc, when you get up at the last minute and leave for school. Needless to say 3 weeks after the checkerboards he shaved his head. He even looks good in a shaved head, aside from the scars, and cow lick. Now his hair is growing out and I just clean up his neck as it grows out. Okay it is now a little long on top. He has just decided to make a "faux hawk". Just the name, "faux hawk" sends me into gales of giggles. Much gel is used and he now has this itty bitty chicken comb-like "faux hawk" duck butt on top of his head. He even has to comb over the hair from the back to Hawk it on top of his head. Oh please, oh please! He has complemented this "look" with his ever present black t-shirt, faded of course, and his "new" borrowed from a friend, tight yet very long jeans, and of course a scowly growly look. Excuse me while I commence giggling again. I do believe that a "faux" Indie kid was spawned in the confines of the bathroom and bedroom. Commence giggling. Deep breath, refrain from teasing him, and yep, this one will pass when the first teenaged girl says, "I thought you looked way sexier before you did your hair." Sheeeesh!
