World Cup Blog: Worst Hairdos Archives Back to Blog Home June 26, 2002 Bruno's 15 minutes of fame Senegal's French coach Bruno Metsu enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame when he guided his team to the quarter finals of the World Cup. During these heady moments no one had bigger hair than Bruno, the shampoo and conditioner companies lining up to meet him. Unfortunately now that Senegal are out of the competition Bruno has gone back to his old job of stealing cars in Paris and his 'do' seems to have lost some of its bounce. Bruno Metsu gets to work with the slim jim.

Here are a few to check out. Posted by at 09:14 AM (World Cup Time) | View Comments (3) June 12, 2002 Argentina pull out all the stops Tonight is the night for Argentina. The boys in blue and white are pulling out all the stops in order to ensure a victory over Sweden. Striker Claudio Caniggia went so far as taunting the Swedish players, daring them to 'come and get him'. Claudio Caniggia offering the Swedes no choice.

He apparently thinks he's a bit of a star and I reckon if he went to Oklahoma he'd be he star for a while with this hairdo. Clint Mathis glides like an ostrich with his new mohawk. This entry was suggested by Patricia, Eugene OR. Posted by at 05:15 AM (World Cup Time) | View Comments (18) June 10, 2002 What were you thinking? Clint Mathis ....at what point did you think of getting a mohawk and decide, "Yeah, that'll look good!" Reason I ask, mate, is I want you to isolate that moment so that the next time it happens you can go outside and slam your head in a car door. Besides all the less than complimentary press he gets because he does not act/train like a professional football player, he's the only US player who acts like he thinks he's a superstar. Everyone else goes about their business and let their football do the talking. Even Cobi Jones, who used to be in the Mathis category, has matured to the point where playing is more important than how he looks. The goal he scored makes him look like a good player. His 'do just makes him look like an idiot.

I'd say offhand that Sven has a receding hairline. What do you think? Sven Goran Erickson holding a model of what his head will look like in a year or 2.

If you missed the Japanese players lining up before todays game with Belgium, you missed the funniest sight so far at this World Cup, eleven incredible haircuts. Anybody ever seen the 1970's Chinese martial arts tv show ' Monkey '? Well this team featured eleven " Pigsy's ". It's like they went to a hairdressing school which said "we'll give you all free haircuts as long as the students can do what ever they like." It made me instantly like the Japanese. The guy who scored their second goal, Inamoto , has been with Arsenal for the past year or so but has only gotten on the pitch four times the whole season. The club say they didn't buy him just to sell shirts in the far east, but guess who appears on the cover of the merchandising catalogue along with Vieira.

We'll start with a couple of entries from perrenial preeners Argentina. Here's German Burgos and his unruly mop. Here's Gabriel Batistuta in his best pose... and here's the defence taking a glamour break between halves. Posted by at 02:54 PM (World Cup Time) | View Comments (0) Halloween in England The English squad belong in the worst hairdo competition, they're English. These guys are also part of the Halloween pantomime squad....wouldn't you be worried if you ran into this lot at the corner of your street? David James tries the blonde nut (English for head) look and fails. Trevor Sinclair Molder Excuse me gov'nor, got the time?......smack!!! Spicy Beckham getting set to join Michael Jackson for Halloween. Too bad this bunch isn't scary enough to bother the Argentine defense. Posted by at 02:39 PM (World Cup Time) | View Comments (3) Plant heads A couple of the Nigerian players really interested us. Here in Eugene, Oregon people are big into body piercings. You know, they shove pins and spears and nails through all kinds of body parts. However, I've never seen anyone that has been able to grow his own weed on himself. These 2 guys know something we don't. Dude there's a green maggot crawling out of your chin! What does that man have coming out his nut (again, English for head)? Posted by at 02:27 PM (World Cup Time) | View Comments (0) Unofficial Rest Day If you're anything like me, your body hasn't quite adjusted to the new schedule of work, football, nap, football, nap, football, work (and repeat). You catch yourself staring into the middle distance, mind completely blank as it shuts down for some waking ZZZ's. Tonight is a true test of a World Cup fan. Do I take the risk of sleeping through potential bore-fests of China v. Costa Rica , Japan v. Belgium and Poland v. South Korea and missing some cracking games between teams that are safely below the superpower tier? Or do I attempt to watch all three games, fall asleep anyway as Belgium strive for another three straight draws and then be shagged for more interesting match-ups the next day? This is the dilemma I find myself in. Tonight's games are even unlikely to yield any true candidates for worst 'Do either. You can guarantee China, Poland, Belgium and Costa Rica will be uniformly conventional. Japan and South Korea, as hosts on display, might throw in a blond mop and the occasional mullet, but can they truly hope to compete with the likes of Argentina, Cameroon and Romanian teams of years past? Time shall tell. Posted by Chris at 08:57 AM (World Cup Time) | View Comments (2) June 02, 2002 German 'Do's, or lack thereof The Germans, normally considered quite conservative (robotic, even), have a couple of frontrunners in the 'do championship stakes. However, it's not because of how much hair, but rather, how little. Take Carsten Jancker. He's got a dome that would make Telly Savalas proud: And then there's Christian Ziege. This photo is a little old, but you can see the beginnings of the nice mohawk he's got going. What you can't see is that he's dyed the back of it white. The two-tone touch raises his chances to take the title: Not to be left behind in the coaching category of the 'Do Awards, Germany's Rudi Völler sends out a strong challenge to Cameroon's Winfried Schaefer . The snow white 'do goes perfectly with the eyebrows: Posted by Chris at 04:15 AM (World Cup Time) | View Comments (0) June 01, 2002 Cameroons Our next set of contestants in the worst hair category are 3 young men from Cameroon, who by the way are winning 1-0 at half time. First up Joseph Desire Job (I'm not shitting you, that's his name!). Someone should tell this poor bloke about the giant tarantula on his head. Followed by Rigobert Song. Ya man, da ganja is strong out 'ere. and lastly, Magabi Magumbo. . Okay, okay it's not Magabi Magumbo its Sai Baba, but doesn't he look like he belongs on the team? The member of the Cameroon team that really stands out is manager Winfried Schaefer, who after a successful career with ABBA took up poncing around on the sideline as a way of earning money. As we head into the second half I'm confident we'll see Ireland prove why they're better off with the gees gees.

The worst hairdo's were out for all to see and here are some of today's winners. Thiery Henry's head looked as if it was designed by Nike.... tasty thin sideburns with an aerodynamic dome. Lebeouf had a completely shaven nut (that's head in English in case you were wondering) and looked like some kind of android fresh out of the box. Wahay!!! Cisse wants to play for AC Milan baby! Look, he's already got the 'do', all he needs is to pull a few fancy moves on camera and who knows, he could be parking his shampoo bottle next to some big names. Here's the winner! You should of seen Senegal coach Bruno Metsu today on the sideline. Oh my God, I know he's French but he looked like a bloody EuroVision song contestant. Either that or he's opening his own salon in Tokyo. Let's see if Bruno's 'do' will gain any puff after his big win.

Stop Hair Loss

Help! It's Hair Loss! -- -- KidsHealth > Kids > Kids' Health Problems > Skin >Help! It's Hair Loss! Every day, you lose about 50 to 100 hairs. You've seen them. They swirl down the drain in the tub or get stuck on the back of your sweater. Or, worst of all, one might get in your mouth. Gross. Normally, when hair falls out, new hairs start forming in the same place as the old ones. But when someone has hair loss, the hairs don't grow back. Or they do grow, but there aren't enough of them to take the place of what's already fallen out. This often happens to men, who start to go bald as they get older. But anyone can have hair loss, even kids. The medical name for hair loss is alopecia (say: ah-luh- pee -shuh). The Hair-y Story Every hair on your head is made of keratin (say: kair -uh-tin), the same protein that makes up your nails . Hairs grow from follicles (say: fah -lih-kulz), which are very tiny holes deep in your skin. Each follicle contains a hair root, the part of the hair that is alive and growing. The part of the hair you can see, the part above the skin, is dead. (That's why it doesn't hurt to get a haircut!) This part is called the hair shaft , and it's the part of your hair that can get long. Most kids' hair grows about half an inch (2 centimeters) a month. About 85 out of 100 hairs on your head are growing (the anagen phase) at any time. When a hair is done growing it goes into its resting (telogen) phase and eventually falls out. Usually, 15 out of 100 hairs on your head are in the resting phase. What Causes Hair Loss? Men, especially older men, are the ones who are most likely to lose their hair. This kind of hair loss is called androgenetic (say: an-dro-jeh- neh -tik) alopecia , also known as male-pattern baldness. It's the most common type of hair loss and it doesn't affect kids. This type of baldness runs in families and happens when people get older. So why do some kids lose their hair? A kid's hair may fall out if he or she uses harsh chemicals to dye, bleach, straighten, or perm their hair. Even drying hair with very high heat can hurt it and cause it to fall out. Too-tight braids, ponytails, and barrettes can also make hair hit the road. Hair also can be lost if a person combs or brushes the hair too hard, especially when it's wet. Here are some other causes of hair loss: Telogen effluvium (say: teh -luh-jen eh- flu -vee-um). This means that more hairs than usual are in the resting phase and fall out more easily. As a result, you lose more hair than usual. You might notice more hair on your brush or a big clump of hair in the drain after you shower. A fever, stress, or surgery can cause this change in your hair. The good news is that you are not going bald and your hair will be back to normal within 6 months. Ringworm. Kids who have a fungus called ringworm on their scalp might lose their hair. This infection causes the hairs to break close to the scalp. Alopecia areata (say: ar-ee- at -uh). In this condition, round patches of hair completely fall out. No one knows exactly what causes alopecia areata, but it looks like the body's own immune system attacks the hair follicles. It also runs in some families. In 95 out of 100 cases of alopecia areata, the hair grows back completely. Trichotillomania (say: trik-oh-til-oh- may -nee-uh). This is the fancy name for the habit of pulling and twisting your own hair. Some kids may pull their hair because they are stressed out or anxious about something. Hair will grow back when it's not being pulled, but some kids find it hard to stop. For these kids, the doctor can recommend treatment. Hormone problems. If your thyroid gland isn't working right, it can also cause hair loss. (The thyroid gland sits in the front of the lower neck and makes important hormones that keep the body healthy.) Severe problems with nutrition also can result in unhealthy hair that falls out or breaks easily. Cancer treatment. Most people think about cancer when they see a kid who is bald. Cancer does not cause hair to fall out, but the powerful drugs and treatments used to kill cancer cells ( chemotherapy and radiation ) kill the cells that make hair grow, too. A kid getting chemotherapy may lose a lot of hair quickly, but the hair will grow back when the treatment is stopped. What Will the Doctor Do? If you think you're having some hair loss, talk with your doctor. Your doctor might look at a few strands of your hair under a microscope. This will give the doctor a better look at what's going on to help decide what to do next. For a fungal infection (ringworm), the doctor will probably prescribe some medicine to treat it. Or if you are taking a medication that can cause hair loss, the doctor might stop it or prescribe something different. If the doctor thinks that an illness is causing the hair loss, you might need more tests. Coping With Hair Loss In some cases, it can take a while for hair to grow back on its own - especially if a kid has alopecia areata or is getting chemotherapy. Being bald can be upsetting and scary. Some kids wear wigs or hair extensions while they wait for their own hair to return. Others feel more comfortable just wearing a baseball cap, bandanna, or scarf. It's always tough to be different, especially in a way that's easy for people to notice. Friends and classmates can make all the difference to someone who's dealing with hair loss. They can tease the person and make him or her feel even worse. Or they can support the person, be kind, and remember that a person is more than just his or her hair. Some kids have really gone the extra mile for a friend who had hair loss due to cancer treatment. How? They decided to shave their heads, too, so their friend wouldn't be the only one. What a bald and beautiful thing to do!

AskChrisKnight.com HOME :: Health-and-Fitness / Beauty Human Hair Extensions Create Beautiful Long Hair Styles Instantly By Perriann Rodriguez Article Word Count: 1670 [ View Summary ] Comments (0) As you glance across virtually every print medium such as newspapers, magazines and catalogs, there seems to be one thing in common as far as hair cut styles is concerned. The long hair cut style is everywhere. So what are you supposed to do if you dont have long hair and you really want the long hair cut style? Well, lets see, human hair grows about per month, so if your hair is at ear level, that would be almost two years to wait for that hair cascading down your back look. And of course by the time you grow your hair out, the short hair cut style will be in. Dont limit yourself to just adding length to your hair. Hair extensions offer a simple solution to fine hair and can add a little pizzazz to thick, curly or wavy hair in any color or style. Rod Sickler Owner Images by Rod & Company Rantoul, Illinois In todays society, two-year waits are OUT and immediate results are IN. The beauty industry recognized the demand for instant long natural looking hair and thus todays hottest trend was bornHuman Hair Extensions. Hair extensions are not only for lengthening your hair, according to Rod Sickler, owner of Images by Rod & Company and Sexy Hair Concepts Artistic Team Member. Any hair type can support hair extensions, says Sickler. Sickler makes hair extensions easy by creating cutting-edge hair styles for his clients. Some examples include sleek and straight hair, vivacious ringlets and striking color enhancements with the use of different highlighted and lowlighted hair extensions. He describes the hair extension process as very painstaking and challenging as it requires many hours and various techniques to complete. The rewards are many as he is able to re-invent hair, tweak techniques and fulfill his clients needs. One of Sicklers hair extension clients, Holly Leach of Rantoul, Illinois, says she wanted to get hair extensions because she was ready for a change and wanted Sickler to re-invent her look by adding thickness and length to her thinning hair with European Hair Extensions. She was absolutely amazed at the results. I came into the salon (Images by Rod & Company) looking one way, and came out looking totally different, says, Leach. Leach has had her hair extensions for about 5 months now, with absolutely no issues and no complaints. She maintains the hair extensions with non-soy based conditioning shampoo and moisturizers from Sexy Hair Concepts, and uses hair dryers and curling irons with no problems. Leach concludes,Hair Extensions are worth the time and money, when you can get fabulous-looking long hair instantly. "Hair extensions are a huge self-esteem booster because they give women the opportunity to get the long hair style look without the wait"Guinevere Werr Manager, The Spa East Bank Club, Chicago, Ill Some women are concerned or have heard that hair extensions can cause damage to their natural hair, or even loss of hair. Guinevere Werr, Manager of The Spa at the East Bank Club in Chicago, Ill, says the fusion application method Sickler uses from So.Cap., an Italian company, does not create any damage to the natural hair since it is applied from the scalp and not directly on the scalp. Werr assisted Sickler with applying brown hair extensions with some highlight extensions to her sisters hair. She adds that Sicklers hair extension clients have lost almost no hair extensions and have had very little maintenance issues. So where do you start if you are thinking of getting hair extensions? You must research the different types of hair used for hair extensions, the different types of attachment methods, the hair stylists education and training, any maintenance schedules and of course the cost. There are a lot of different types of hair that are used for hair extensions. There is human hair and synthetic hair. Synthetic hair is used to add the high fashion colors, such as pinks and blues. Generally speaking, if you are going for the natural, it grew out of my head, look you should go with human hair. Human hair comes in many different textures and grades. The human hair must be strong and healthy to produce extensions that will last and wear without tangling or drying. European human hair is well- known as quality human hair used for extensions. There are three basic techniques to attach the hair. They are fusion or strand by strand, weaving and bonding. There are many variations to these techniques and they are sometimes called by different names. Fusion/strand by strand: This process is done strand by strand in small sections using heated adhesive sticks or glue specifically made for hair extensions. Extension hair is added directly to your own hair. Sickler uses the fusion method from the Italian company So.Cap. Hair is attached about from your scalp and looks totally natural. Sickler comments, No one can visually see that you have hair extensions. Its up to you if you want everyone to know. Weaving is a process where a corn row or track is created around the head and close to the scalp. Extension hair is sewn on the tracks. Your own hair lies over the tracks for a natural look. Bonding is a process where bonding glue is applied onto the weft of the extension hair and then applied at the root of your hair. A weft is horizontal hair strands attached together at the top of vertically flowing hair strands. Wefts can be machine-made or handmade. There are some disadvantages to each of these methods. Sometimes if the hair extension application method is not done properly, the hair extensions will simply fall out, or cause damage to your natural hair. Also, with additional pressure to your scalp from the weight of the heavy extensions, there could be some thinning of your natural hair and/or headaches as you adapt to the new weight. There have been some reports of allergies to the chemicals that are used. You should discuss the disadvantages of hair extensions thoroughly with your hair stylist so that there are no surprises. The hair extension training and education your hair stylist has received is very important to the success of their work. Sickler received his hair extension training from renowned expert, Joseph Accola, and he keeps up-do-date on techniques by attending beauty shows across Europe where hair extensions are more popular than in the U.S. Hair extension education and training are paramount to successful hair extensions for any hair stylist, says Sickler. If you are looking for a hair stylist to do hair extensions and they dont have the proper training, you could be very disappointed with the results. After you have your hair extensions in place, you will need to schedule regular maintenance visits to check your extensions. How often you need to go back will depend on the type of hair and the method of attachment that was used. As your hair grows out, some of the hair extensions will need to be removed and replaced or touched up. On a day-to-day basis you should treat your human hair extensions as you would long hair. Brush, shampoo, condition and moisturize on a regular basis. Some hair stylists will recommend specific high-quality hair care products to use with your extensions. You can also use hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons on most types of human hair extensions. Color treatments can be done on the hair extensions, but you should consult with your hair stylist before considering this. Monthly color touch-ups to your roots will not be a problem, as the hair extensions will not be touched. Although it doesnt hurt physically to get hair extensions, it may hurt you financially. There really is no way around this factor. To get good hair extensions on your whole head, you will need quality human hair, an experienced hair stylist, at least one assistant and about 6-8 hours of time. The ticket price can vary from $150-$2000 depending on what you are having done. Adding a few highlights or lowlight hair extensions can be quite less as the time and amount of hair needed is less. In short, here are ten tips to follow after you have decided you want to get hair extensions and have selected a beauty salon. To find beauty salons that do hair extensions, you can look in the yellow pages or search online. The beauty salon directory at www.hairresources.com will allow you to search for hair extensions in your City, State. 1.After selecting a salon, schedule an initial consultation to discuss what you would like to have done and any concerns that you have. 2. Ask about what hair extension experience your hair stylist has and where they received their training. 3. Make sure the hair stylist listens and understands your needs and concerns. Does he/she communicate well with you? 4. The hair stylist should ask you about your lifestyle, health, hobbies and your normal hair routine 5. An analysis of your scalp and hair should be done at the initial consultation to make sure your hair is in a condition for successful hair extensions. 6. Ask to see before and after photos of hair extension clients 7. Ask for references and be sure to call them 8. Ask how often the average client needs to replace the hair. This is very important for anticipating future costs 9. Get a written estimate for your hair extensions with an itemized list of the services required to achieve your new look 10.Get a written maintenance plan. Plan should include recommendations for products, grooming tools, follow-up appointments and any special instructions. Hair extensions have many advantages and several disadvantages that should be addressed, but if you want to create an instant long hair style, human hair extensions are the way to go Perriann Rodriguez is the founder of http://www.hairresources.com and http://www.hairresources.net She is listed in the 2004 Who's Who of Business and Marketing Professionals and U.S. Registry of American Writers.

FAQ Glossary Site info Feedback "Transcutaneous hair removal" manufacturers New twist on an unproven method The late 1990's saw the rise of "transcutaneous hair removal," a new twist on an old unproven method of hair removal. Background Electric tweezers had run their course in the early 1990's, after IGIA saturated the U.S. market with their bogus device. Electric tweezer makers looked for the next scam and came up with "transdermal electrolysis" (also called transdermolysis or transdermalysis). Electric tweezer manufacturer American Hair Removal System (AHRS) led the way with this new twist, offering a modification that replaced the electric tweezer with an electrified cotton swab (like a Q-Tip). As with their tweezer, conductive gel was still spread on the skin, and the cotton swab was then touched to the gel. Supposedly, the electricity that passed through the swab would travel down the hair and result in permanent hair removal. By the end of 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had finally stated that electric tweezers had produced no statistically significant data indicating the devices could perform permanent hair removal. In 1999, the FDA stated that they had not evaluated claims made by these "transdermal" devices and that they were not allowed to make claims of permanent hair removal. Also in 1999 (on 29 March), the owners of AHRS submitted a patent for "an electrolysis system comprised of one or more patches that are secured to a skin surface." The patent was awarded in 2000, and the owners came out with a new device under International Hair Removal Systems (now called Rejuvenu ). The new device is the SuperPhaser Gold. On 2 April 2001, FDA told the maker of Super Phaser Gold they were in violation of federal law in making claims of painless and permanent hair removal using transcutaneous patches. $9,000.00 or $30? Your call. The IGIA website featured IHRS Medical Director Mark Chandler in 2001, discussing patch devices like IGIA Touch n' Go (see screen shot below). This raises a good question: Why spend $9,000.00 on an IHRS SuperPhaser Gold when the IGIA Forever Gone Plus is only $30? The same guy is featured on both sites, so if you're going to waste money, why not save yourself $8,970?
