Bye Bye Hair
I've always wanted dreads until I found out what was involved! A friend then suggested cutting it all off for charity. So I decided to experiment with the idea. I'm going to do it all online!
At this point it's time for the pictures, hope you enjoy looking at them cause I had great fun taking them
I'll be robbing money off you all over Christmas!!! Don't try and run away if I see you, I'm way more aerodynamic now so I'll definitely be able to catch you!
If you'd like to see the original page you can still find it down at the end.
First, the afro...
We'll begin with the afro! It turned out amazing well. A big shout out to my hairdresser ;)
After getting the fro done I wish I'd done it a week earlier. It was so cool I'd love to have worn it around the place for a while.

I didn't realise it but when you do a fro you first have to kink the hair, who knew? |

The Afro Begins |
From the front, still not quite there... |
|
|
|
Hmmm, I wonder is this my best side? |
Who's got big hair? |
This in my opinion this is the best fro pic!
|
|
What? Who said I have a big head! |
Now onto the shaving!!!
|
|
|
As promised, a bald patch, but it's my own, 100% authentic! |
And now a fake bald patch, more like a divot really... |
|
|
|
Wasn't supposed to do a mullet but what the heck, it's a con-air/red neck pose. Scared? |
Taxi Driver! |
Now for the mohican, turned out a bit more like a fro-hican as my my hair was still fro'ed up. It's very hard to un-fro your hair...

And a more fro-like mohawk profile |
I tried my best to do BA from the A-Team, very hard to do in a picture, well, that, and I'm not black...

|
I ain't getting on no plane fool! |

|
And it's gone, bye bye hair :( |
I know I wasn't supposed to do a comb over as well but it wasn't possible with the fro'ed up hair. It was all knotted together and wouldn't part so I'm afraid it wasn't possible...
The Original Page (before the head shaving)
You'll see my current mane in the picture below. There's a good 3-4 years of hair there. So here's the way it will work. You can donate using PayPal or if you know me personally just by giving me your donation. After the deed is done I will post pictures on the page of the whole thing. Anyone can suggest how the cutting will be done. So if you'd like to see a mullet, followed by a mohawk before it's all gone then leave a comment.
|
I'll start by emailing everyone I know with the link to the page and let it go from there. I've no idea how much money I'll be able to raise but we'll see at the end.
The deed will be done sometime in the second week of December. I'll advise of the exact date closer to the time. Edit: Date set for the 12th of December.
I'd like to donate the money to Irish charities, and have decided on Barnardo's and AWARE. If anyone has any suggestions for other charities feel free to leave a comment...
I'm not sure exactly how to get this more widely viewed but once more, any suggestions, leave a comment...
Anyone who donate's may, if they wish, have a lock of hair to keep for themselves! Just leave a note with your PayPal donation and I'll post it on when the time comes.
Oh, and the donate button is at the top of the page!
Here's a list of the styles (I've a funny feeling this list will grow...):
- Mohawk - B.A. Style (I ain't getting on no plane fool!)
- Afro (No idea how I'm going to manage this one, any hairdresser's wanna donate some time?)
- A Bald Patch (Kinda already have one though!)
- A Comb Over

That's just cruel! But it's for charity so I guess I'll do it... Bastard ;) Edit: Got a stomach bug on Monday so never made it to work with the fro or mohican, I think the pics are still worth your money though???

Hey stranger! I'll have to come and visit you soon enough, wherever the hell you are now...
Nov 6, 10:20 AM #Sweet. I want to see you shave it all off one side and the top and get a good combover going…
Nov 2, 11:03 AM #Back, sack and crack too gets you my donation
Reply
Already did that for charity! Most uncomfortable experience of my life, might just stick with the hair on my head this time!
Nov 2, 09:25 AM #Hey Ross, Great Idea! I’ll give you a fair donation if you shave a nice big bald patch into the back of your head. Also a B.A. “I ain’t gettin on no plane fool” would be good. Good Luck!
Reply
Ok, bald patch is on the list! I've the B.A. line in with he mohawk... Not sure how to do it in a picure though. Better start watching the A-Team again :)
Nov 2, 08:29 AM #Hey Ross, best of luck m8. Donation number 2! I don’t need any hair though, however, it could be handy for the voodoo doll…

Great idea – well done. If your looking for suggestions, may I suggest AWARE – its a group helping the fight against depression. Ill leave the hairstyles up to you! Ames
Nov 2, 08:02 AM #I definitely want to see the mohawk!!! Suzie wants a lock of your hair, she’s always did love your curls!
Am I the first to donate?
Reply
You sure were the first, although it was kinda cheating cause I hadn't sent the mail around yet when you called! Mail me your address and I'll make sure Suzie get's her piece...
