Chickenhead!!

And now for a few brief observation about local hairstyles.....

It would appear that the local tween boys have adopted a hairstyle that I can only describe as "chickenhead." This is not to be confused with the hairstyle of cool with-it pre-adolescent males of a few years ago where they all went to Mom's hairdresser and essentially had their hair highlighted. I refer to THAT one fondly as "The Hedgehog." You know....where they look like they were dipped upside down in a vat of bleach, leaving a sort of bleached out Q-Tip effect. Fortunately it faded fast, as did their highlights. But "chickenhead" may have real staying power.
It works like this (or so I surmise!): You steal your sister's hair styling mousse and smear it in your hair. Make sure you use lots so that the end result is nice and crispy crackly. Then either blow dry the top layer of your hair straight up, or else take your fingers and lift it up to make a quasi-mohawk type dealie. Shape it to resemble a rooster's comb. Let it dry, then strut your 8-12 year old stuff. Makes the hens crazy!
