Just been deleting a load of photos of Google drive to free up space and came across this fine specimen of a young man! This would have been 1989 ish - not my finest look!... 🤣
Coloured my then jet black hair with blond highlights for some reason. There are rather too many photos around to deny it ever happened.
Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around my eyes, look into my eyes, you're under.
Would have to be my Indie/Madchester phase with the long hair, partially brought on by a six month placement in Germany and not knowing how to ask for a haircut. Worse even than when I bleached my hair; at least that made my grandfather laugh like a drain every time he saw me.
I don't understand the question, I've always been awesome.
(This of course isn't true, I've always been unfashionable but at least I've been consistently unfashionable so it'd be hard to pinpoint a specific instance.)
Early/mid 90s during high school I was sporting a middle parting aka 'curtains'. Think Brad Pitt. Unfortunately the reality resulted in a brief adoption of a 'Brad Shit' nickname...
My hair got worse than this, but thankfully there's no photographic evidence...
Hong Kong, Christmas '95
And some time in the '80's 🙄
this was pretty grim. prepare the eye bleach.
I'll have to find some photos. maybe my punk phase with ripped jeans and a suit jacket with the shoulder pads taken out? could be the big purple hair in the 80s?
Another one from a few years earlier than my opening photo.
No shame in this one as it a) shows I did have hair once! b) I was slim once! 🙂

Age restricted, I had to sign in to watch. Oh dear lord what are my next week's worth of suggested videos going to be 🤣

Yeah, could be. Or.......
Oh I have had worse looks 🙂
When my hair first grew back after the chemotherapy when I was 19 it came back curly - never was curly before, hasn't been curly since. However this coincided with a poor decision that I was give growing long hair a go, so I didn't get it cut for about a year. That didn't work very well at all, but at least it came back under control when I did get it cut.
OP - You would somewhat unironically fit in well with the current young folk in that get-up. The current meta is to dress like you don't care in loose fitting clothes (but care a lot). I am probably a bit guilty of this.
I am a bit younger (maybe not!) than many of this parish and when I was at uni, it was around 2010 when everyone was dressing in very tight everything and had haircuts inspired by the Hitler youth. I definitely had that down, complete with messenger bag and tight cardigan. Absolutely dreadful.
I don't think I have a photo. Now I just dress like someone kicked a menswear mannequin through a Cotswold Outdoors and call it a day.
I believe I've just brought this topic to a close ! 😂😂😂😂
Late 70's, early 80's?
for me, going from being big mohawked nutter, to having to look like a ***** normal and get a job working with townies.
@Cougar I had to Google that 👍
@ASTR 1978!👍
Just been looking through old photo's and found a picture of my parents from the early '70's (maybe late 60's) - only pic of them I've ever seen of them together and didn't see this until I was 51 and my mum (and dad) had passed
There are pictures of me in my nu-wave/goth era somewhere in the universe....
Lilac patchwork Trolls... c.1990
Is that a moustache I see scotroutes?

I had a moustache for over 10 years. I first grew it when I got fed up of being mistaken for being a lot younger than I was. Now it only resurfaces every Winter as part of a full set.
ma mullet when I was 13, funnily enough my 15 year old son now has something similar!
@ASTR I started in 1969 as a skinhead , then a suede head , then a Rod Stewart style haircut , I'm now back to my skinhead haircut , at 70 choice is limited 🙄

Summer 1975 Bournemouth, still together, Golden Wedding next year 👍
Not sure I,m ever going to recover from this thread.
In 6th form, mid 80's I decided to get my hair permed. By my mum.
I still remember going into school looking like a male and very lanky Shirley Temple. No photo was allowed to exist of me during this time, I travelled the multiverse to ensure it was so.
A few years later, after discovering the magnificence of Bladerunner, a film I'm still a little obsessed with, I went through my Rutger Hauer phase. This resulted in me deciding to get my hair bleached. By my mum.
In fairness, that didn't go that bad, though I was more of a strawberry blond than the white haired replicant that was Roy Batty.
There is a picture of me during this period but luckily I can't find it.
'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...'
This resulted in me deciding to get my hair bleached.
Ah yes. I did that too at one point. In fairness, I was raising funds for charity.
“Now I just dress like someone kicked a menswear mannequin through a Cotswold Outdoors and call it a day”
if that’s your own work, it’s brilliant.
For a couple of years in the early 90s I had my curly hair straightened and in curtains. I had the baggy jeans, the anorak, I looked like Shaun Ryder and it was awesome. Photos exist but IDK where, suffice to say im not looking.
Wind on 30 years, hair (what remains) is back to natural and while I wouldn't describe myself as a looker, I've aged considerably better than Shaun.
This thread reminds me of…
A friend got me a card with this photo on in the late 90s. Very hard to look at!
I knew where it was at. Christmas Day wear. Pony tail AND cardigan. Oh yes.
When I had all my dreads cut off after not visiting a barber for 15 years. Took a long time to get used to the new look. Now I'm glad I've just got some hair still.
