A Hair Challenge

Dreaming up characters can begin in a number of ways.  I was recently waiting for a friend at a coffee shop. She was later than expected so I had a good 15 minutes to sit and relax. I used my time wisely…. People watching!

I began to observe hair styles and dream up ways of creating characters beginning with the hair style.

It was fun. There are a million hairstyles in every shopping centre to get you inspired.

My favourite was an older lady … Her over bleached strands resembled an anaemic canary.

And then there was …. Her pony tail swayed into a perfect question mark.

And there are always a couple of perfectionists … She’d recently re-bob cut and obviously cement sprayed her hair to keep it in place.

The Challenge....
Ok.. your turn... check out the hairstyles below.. and in 15 words or less... spill out something fun. The beginnings of a character ... or just descriptive prose.
