I went to high school with this bloke.
... A testy Duke of Bedford asked him why he insisted on making his wife look like a lesbian, but Vidal didn’t think that his clients looked like lesbians. He thought they looked modern, liberated — which they were: liberated from the rollers, the perming, the setting, the back-combing, the huge dryers and the humungous output of aerosol particles that constituted a trip to the salon throughout the Fifties. Vidal, despite having trained with “Mr Teasy Weasy” himself, the great Raymond of Mayfair, had sensed, as a new decade dawned, that the days of teasing and weasing were numbered. The signs could be divined everywhere, even in architecture: “You had only to look at Mies’s [van der Rohe] Seagram [a 1957 New York skyscraper] or Breuer’s Whitney [the 1966 art museum, also in New York] to know.” Or, indeed, at those geometric Sixties clothes.

Free your head, free your mind, take half the time you once did getting ready, buy shampoo only once a year: cut off your hair.
Yes, I am disgusted that this page also features a link to a "Six steps to the beehive: this season's must-have hair" article. Fuck that teasy-weasy shit. Why be a slave, or look like one?

Honey, it comes from a plant, FFS. Not only is it Green, it's green! No chemicals, no horrid chemical stink, no BS, no PITA, no big expense. Your hair feels and looks and acts much happier and healthier than after an at-home or expensive salon dye job, too.

If it was good enough for Lucy, and if it's good enough for a zillion women worldwide (inc their palms and soles), it's good enough for you, too.
My pal Mark loved it - I'd help him and give myself a Red Stripe in the process - so it's good enough for you men, too, also.
