I am blessed with a very full head of hair. Having spent years in the RAF then in positions that meant it would have been wrong to have long hair I waited until a few years ago to just let it grow. I am one of those 'more mature' chaps with a pony tail.
I have to use a gel on it as my hair goes into tight curls as seen in this photo taken in 1984 when I used to teach electronics in Saudi Arabia. I'm the one at the back if you couldn't guess:
The apartments we were in had just been raided by every kind of Police force that Saudi have. The 'girlfriends' of the doors that were opened ended up in prison for 6 months and men were deported! - They always treat the Women worse! - We refused to open the door as we had three girlfriends in the flat! It was all over the UK press if you have memories that long!
Only difference all these years on, is the hair is forced into being straight by the gel. But when I get up in the morning it's still like this photo until I have my shower! Oh with a nice hint of gray of course!
Regards
Chris
