My hair is my trademark (thank you very much, next question)
Published by Esteban Glas on June 18th, 2008 | This post lacks all category except for: personal
It is unavoidable. Every time I walk into the office (something that has become quite rare lately) or any other place where people know me my hair becomes a topic for discussion.
Did you finally slaughter that comb?
Have you stuck your fingers on the power outlet?
Windy out there, ain’t it?
That’s some of the usual phrases that come my way. I usually smile, nod and keep walking. From time to time I l will reply anything between “f*ck off” to “it is just beyond my control“.
Honestly, the thing is beyond my control. Period. I have 4 whirls strategically positioned that make their own decitions on how the hair will present itself to the outer world.
But, truth must be told. I’m proud of my relentless hair. I’m thrilled at how people I don’t know subtly look at it, there’s so much I can tell just by watching reactions. It is my trademark and represents my personality just fine.
Here you have it in all its glory, do note that I had to cut it more than I usually do after my wife decided to experiment with it:

Esteban,
Perhaps it could be worse. As you know, I have quite a different problem in the hair department. Why is it that while presenting, in at least half the meetings, someone in the audience feels the need to make a joke about it? I’m not overly sensivitive, but it gets to be like fat jokes, or old jokes. Sex and Ethnicity have been fairly purged over the years by HR departments - mandatory “diversity training” has seen to that. I had a former manager who, on several occasions found reason to poke fun at my being “folically challenged”.
I say display your disheveled hair with pride!
