David Bramwell is the author of the Cheeky Guide to Brighton . Wind your way down Baker Street in Brighton, and, believe me, nostalgic, syrupy saxophone melodies will be furthest from your mind. This noisy little thoroughfare, off the London Road , is home to a shoddy selection of shops and a cheesy tattoo parlour, and would be as insignificant as it is unglamorous, were it not for being home to one of the hairdressing world's best-kept secrets. Having been frozen in time for the last forty years, 'Coopers for Haircuts' no longer exists in the universe as we know it, but instead skulks in those dark shadowy corners normally reserved for nightmares, fevered visions and sketches from the League of Gentlemen. I first stumbled across Cooper's many years ago by chance and remember gazing in the window in awe at the strange and disturbing dolls' heads sporting lopsided grey toupees, and the peeling and faded black and white photos of haircuts that would frighten your granny. A hand-written sign read 'haircuts 100p', and just inside I could make out the silhouette of a man who passed more than a casual resemblance to Mr. Burns from the Simpsons. I was, naturally, intrigued. Nine years later, the price may have gone up by 20p, but otherwise nothing seems to have changed. Unable to seduce Mr. Cooper into an interview, I met instead with aficionado to the cause and compere of the Comedy Dairy, Dave Mountfield, and asked him how he first became initiated into Mr. Cooper's lair. 'It was about eleven years ago, it was a haircut there or a pudding bowl at home. The price was right, though I admit I was pulled in like people get pulled in by Devil worship: half out of fear and half out of curiosity. I guess I was seduced by his style hints from 1971 Vietnam war magazines, random press cuttings, cat wee-wee smell, and those strange, sinister dummy's heads.' On the topic of Mr. Cooper himself, Dave expounded: 'He's just like any other 203 year old desert rat war veteran barber who charges a pound, offers an endless stream of invective about anything, and who cuts bits of your hair actually out of your head. And he swears like you wouldn't believe.' Two stories I had heard about Mr. Cooper were that he had once chased someone out of his salon for asking for a 'Mick Jagger', and that he had also cut Field Marshall Montgomery's hair in World War Two. I quizzed Dave about this. 'Well the bit about Montgomery is definitely true, he even has cuttings from the Evening Argus to prove it. It's ironic though, as many of his political views veer towards the away team on that one, if my memory serves me right. If you study photos of Rommel, the 'trim' looks eerily familiar. And yes, he does seem to take personal offence at hair that touches the collar, which he regards as 'long'. I also seem to remember him dribbling on a client's head once, but that could be just a malicious memory.' Having relayed a story of mine about being chased off by Mr. Cooper when filming a super8 Sci-Fi spoof outside his shop, Dave revealed his own similar experiences. 'I once tried to make a film called 'Fishboy' with my friend Colin Fernandez. The theme of this now sadly deleted film was a young man evolving back into a fish to avoid an imminent nuclear war. In one climactic scene, Colin had to go and get his hair cut as a precursor to his dramatic reversion to fish form. High level talks were entered into with Mr Cooper and, after some tough bargaining, it was agreed that we could film in the shop, on the proviso that Colin actually had a haircut, and paid for it. A stiff price, but this was a labour of love for Colin and very much part of his cinematic vision. So, with some trepidation, Colin entered into his side of the deal. We got some lovely exterior shots through the window of Colin being subjected to Mr. Cooper's craft. However, we hit trouble as soon as we entered the door with the camera. Maybe he'd forgotten the deal we'd struck some three minutes earlier but when Mr. Cooper saw the camera enter the shop, he reacted a bit like a drug dealer being confronted at home by Roger Cook. He swore, he put his hand over the camera, and in no uncertain terms told us to desist and leave his place of business. But he insisted Colin stay for his gentleman's styling session. What really hurt is that he charged Colin an extra twenty pee as his hair was touching his collar which classed him as a "Fuckin' hippy".' But on reflection he conceded: 'I think perhaps we just weren't good enough to do him and his establishment justice, and so he threw us out like the frauds we were. He's waiting for Hollywood to call, and he's probably got Scorsese or Stone at the top of a very demanding wish list of directors. You can't fault a man for having high standards.' And finally, I wondered, if his hatred of anything below the collar was to be believed, whether the fairer sex played any part in his esteemed establishment. Well it's usually the more mature gentleman that go for the chop, but he does cut ladies hair according to his sign. Now that would be interesting... Any takers ladies? Added to the site on 12-05-05 via PageMaker Comments: "Newly arrived in Brighton in 1986, I had long, straight hair which from time to time simply needed its split ends chopped off rather than any fancy styling. Cooper's faded scale of charges did include ladies cuts so, somewhat gingerly as the place looked distinctly spit-and-sawdust blokey, I popped my head around the demon barber of Baker Street's door. Do you cut womens hair? I asked. A shocked silence instantly fell amongst the elderly Brylcreemed male customers. Mr Coopers hackles visibly rose. Battle-ready outrage was unambiguously conveyed through his taut upper body and facial expression. I did not await the invective which was clearly about to be unleashed but turned tail pronto." (Ninka, 23-05-2005) "Growing up in Brighton,Cooper's was always part of the urban landscape. It was a place that schoolboys of the Sixties were apt to loiter outside as the window carried copious faded signs for Durex! Aged about 17 I worked nearby and needing a haircut I went in one lunchtime....when I returned to work someone said "What happened to your hair? Did you go to Coopers?" I was then told that everyone went there..but usually only once. Over 35 years later I was able to buy at a Brighton Festival Open House a collage of images by Cutis Tappenden which contained amongst the London Road valley vignettes....pen and ink sketches of Mr Cooper.A real brighton character." (Geoffrey Mead, 11-10-2005) "My Dad must have been one of the few people who had his hair cut by Mr Cooper more than once. He always had his hair cut there. I think the main reason for going there was the fact that it was cheap. Bit of a skinflint my Dad!! I seem to remember the shop being there quite recently. ie in the last 10 years. Does anyone know when it actually closed?" (Marilyn Coates, 15-12-2005) Make a comment about this page

AskChrisKnight.com HOME :: Health-and-Fitness / Hair-Loss Female Hair Loss Remedies - How You Can Stop Hair Loss in Its Tracks By Danna Schneider Article Word Count: 820 [ View Summary ] Comments (0) How You Can Naturally Stop The Process of Female Hair Loss Hair loss in women is becoming a more and more prevalent and frequent occurrence in women today. It is estimated that over 25 million American women suffer FPB, or female pattern baldness - and they suffer the emotionally devastating consequences this brings with it. The fact is, many women lose their hair due elements often felt to be out of their control, like hormonal fluctuations, stress and anxiety, and genetic predisposition for female hair loss. There are ways you can bring these elements under control and regrow lost hair, as well as prevent future hair loss. What's even more upsetting is that a large part of menopause symptoms is female pattern baldness (FPB), and this is caused by sharp drops in estrogen and an increase in other "female hair-unfriendly" hormones such as androgens (male hormones). Most women don't know that there are actually specific natural remedies that are geared towards a woman's body and target different causes involved in hair loss than the male formulas do. Think about it - it really does makes sense. Why would you treat a woman's hair loss the same as a man's when the very causes of the receding or thinning hair are different due to biological differences between the sexes. Since the most effective way to provide your follicles with the essential nutrients they need is through the bloodstream - which means an oral remedy is most effective. An effective woman's hair loss supplement should be taken orally and absorbed quickly, to promote new, healthy hair growth. The most common type of hair loss seen in females is androgenetic alopecia, or female pattern alopecia. The term Alopecia usually refers to full or partial balding or hair loss. Most times with women, they will notice a gradual thinning of their hair which becomes of a concern, especially when certain patches can become noticeably thin. Unlike men, where the pattern of balding is seen primarily at the forefront of the forehead (otherwise known as a receding hair line, or widow's peak), the pattern in women for partial balding is seen primarily in the areas on the top and sides of the head. Hormones play the majority of the role in hair loss in women. This is why typically the times when a woman will most likely see hair loss start to become an issue is around times of hormonal flux, such as post pregnancy and menopause, or even in times of extreme duress. Stress is a huge influencer of hormonal balance, and when we feel overly stressed or anxious, this manifests in hormonal fluctuations which can result in skin problems, and hair loss, to name just a few things. Tips to Keep the Hair You Have, Prevent Further Hair Loss and Help to Protect Current Hair 1.) Scalp Massage. Get yourself a good, stimulating scalp massage oil. My favorite is a natural scalp oil by Jason's Naturals. It can be found in natural food stores, or you may be able to purchase it online. This scalp massage oil helps stimulate circulation of the scalp and remove dead skin and deposits that may get in the way of healthy hair growth and the health of the follicles which actually are the gateway to healthy growth and maintenance. 2.) Every time you wash your hair, be sure to massage the scalp as well. Do not choose shampoos that are drying. Instead choose shampoos that are creamier and contain clarifying ingredients. Look for the words "scalp health" or something to that effect on your shampoo formula. This means it contains ingredients that are clarifying to the follicle area and won't leave debris or residue on the scalp. 3.) Avoid wearing you hair up - at all. Even barettes can have an effect on your hair health and growth. Any restrictions on that are a no-no. Tight ponytails especially. Try to keep you hair as free as possible. 4.) Also avoid processing. This means coloring, straightening, perming, highlighting, blowing dry excessively, straight ironing, curling irons and any other high heat or harsh chemical methods of styling the hair. These will just aggravate your condition by further weakening the internal structure and outside bonds of the hair shaft, as well as drying the scalp and irritating it further, making the hair fall out more easily at the root. 5.) There are also some quality hair thickening shampoos and conditioners that are actually designed for women with naturally thin, limp hair. These types of products are usually heavily fortified with amino acids and proteins, which are great building blocks to healthy, strong and thick hair. Why not use them to your advantage?
