It gives me the heeeeeeeeebeeeeeees, its just tooooo big and unkempt looking (if thats how you spell it?)

Its sheer hugeness stops it being cool when a wee trim would have done wonders for it I think!

How does he wash that mop?

Yuk pretty much sums his hair up for me.

so...AIBU?

For some strange reason he reminds me of Dev on Coronation Street - think it's the way he talks. Also wondering if he will always have a colour coordinated scarf hanging out of his pocket...is that his quirky thing?

Tiredmumofdjandbabies · 11/10/2009 14:06

Im back

Defo no racist intention on my part I just meant it was way toooooooooo large/unkempt and birds nesty!

TBH its not just his hair I can't stand, its all of him. He is such a 'try hard', he looks desperate to be cool. That stupid bit of chiffon that is always dangling off his belt... arrggghhh!
When I was at uni there were loads of lads like that, desperate to be cool, slightly hippy, a bit 'different'. It was acceptable at 19 or 20, but it said he was 34. I mean come on, drop the chiffon!
Sorry, I'm sure lots of you like him but he just looks so fake.

Thanks for that, Aitch.

What do you call a Scottish athlete? a jock jock?

AitchTwoToTangOh · 11/10/2009 18:23

Someone over on Digital spy said he looked liked Fred West with an afro

Rock star my bottom, you're on X factor FFS.

scroobiuspirate · 11/10/2009 19:02

i liked it thru the auditions, but now they've cut and styled it it looks ridiculously 'precise'.

Oblomov · 11/10/2009 19:17

agree with pirate. last night it looked wierd and I could not work out why. before I liked it. not now. strange that.

scaryclaireyboo · 11/10/2009 19:17

It does look better now they've trimmed it a bit and given it a bit more shape...

BUT dd's hair is pretty much like that when it's combed out so I have to disagree with the dirty/disgusting/unkempt type comments. It takes a lot of combing to get it that big, if you don't comb it then it just gets matted and matted=less big.

(note how all the people saying yabu have mixed race kids, it's just how (a lot of though not all) mixed race hair is ime)

AitchTwoToTangOh · 11/10/2009 19:26

i don't think you're right there, claireyboo, i'm certain that at least one mother of mixed race children thought that it was a disaster.

Oblomov · 11/10/2009 19:27

hoooochies dh is famous songwriter ? Wow ! For Alexandra Burke. I saw her video today, for the first time. for 'bad boys'. loved her red boots and matching top. totally cool.

AitchTwoToTangOh · 11/10/2009 19:29

i pmsl every time i think of her performing with beyonce... lol, remember her face. rofl.

scaryclaireyboo · 11/10/2009 19:30

shit, I'm now worried that dd is Jamie Afro

AitchTwoToTangOh · 11/10/2009 19:36

lolol, she is GORGEOUS.

scaryclaireyboo · 11/10/2009 19:45

Not with that face! But usually yes she is

scarey your dd is a beauty

chegirlknowswhereyoulive · 11/10/2009 21:27

My kids are mixed race and I dont like his afro. I dont think his hair is disgusting or dirty looking tho. I think he has a baaad hair style.

My kids hair would look like that if I combed it out. But I used to do that weekly before washing it. I would let them walk about like that .

His hair looks like he doesnt really know how to look after it. Mixed race hair can be very difficult to care for because euro hair products dont work and afro hair products are too heavy. It took me ages to get to grips with DD's hair. Well meaning aunties from OH's family would be absolutly sure they could sort it out but pretty soon learned it wasnt afro hair, it was mixed race hair with a unique texture and way of behaving!

I think his hair needs a treatment and a good styling.

But TBH most of the hair I see on X factor is so overstyled his is a breath of fresh hair (see what I did there?)
