I used to think my hair’s potential for anything outside the realm of lifelessness was remote. But then FKA Twigs emerged with her s-curls and suddenly my horizon was looking brighter. You see, I sweat in my sleep – a lot. My forehead, in particular, is a hot zone for perspiration and thus a friend to the Twigs hairstyle. I often wake up with a damp forehead and, if positioned correctly, with stringy hair glued to said forehead. Put differently: I can point to FKA Twigs’ i-D cover and say, in full earnestness, “I wake up like this.”
Sure, Twigs’ hair might spell out “LOVE” and mine “WASH ME” – but, baby steps for the baby hairs, am I right? (Probably not.)

The three girls look a tad miffed and why shouldn’t they? Denying anyone of their right to shower would engender frustration. Ine, honey, I’ve been there; I know it doesn’t FEEL good, but it looks good.

3. Constance Jablonski for Numéro, November 2014.
Some might call this wet hair. I call this: me after a particularly rousing, AP-French-class-themed nightmare. After all, it was Paul Simon who said that one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor.

There’s simply no confusing this one. The unmistakable and excruciating drunk, sweaty hair — and a friend to many.

And finally, a post-coital sweaty hair look, and definitive proof that sweaty hair wins.
