Hair can make certain shapes stand out either gloriously or despicably. Some of the best incorporate the use of sculpties, flexi prims, and alpha textures, but then there are those horrible hair styles from 2007 and earlier and continue to this day, trying to prove their ability to lag up the dance floors and Moody shoe stores.

We must note, when we tp'ed in, we got send about 5 or 6 notecards and LM, for this store, we know how to get there, we dont need more thanks

Abi:  Now I must admit I totally bought into the big poofy hair fad, this was in 2008 sometime.  I was a huge fan of Damselfly, I would walk around in a daze looking at the hair I couldn’t afford.  Now I look back at those old hair and think Really???

Abi again: I can understand the want for wavy and curly flexi hair, But someone really needs to send the memo that this fad is over.  Damselfly is the first offender, Big hair that moves poorly that usually ends up in half my body when i wear it.

I messed up on the pic but you get the picture

Abi yet again: Gurl 6 is another major offender with their huge ass stripper hair. The one that surprised me most was bishwear… Bishwear is like the holy grail of bad hair, like really bad hair, hair that makes you think whyyyyyyy would someone buy it, yet when we were there snooping around, there was actually people in the store…BUYING stuff, not pointing and laughing like us,  I could understand if it was cheap… But these people are charging normal price. Magika or truth has tons of cute hair of all styles.

Bihwear, big, big, big hair!

Lita: Lets not forget though, Magika has been around just as long as those three stores. The difference is, Magika actually updates their collection and recently, at the end of 2009/beginning of 2010 retired a boat load of their designs; they were given out at 10L a pop as it introduced several newer styles and keeping the ones that don’t look like cones hanging off your skull.

Going back to Gurl 6, honestly, I didn’t think they were going to still be open. It needs new designers, new ideas, and just trash their old stock as a horrible dream no one sobered up from. Seriously though, I wanted to go up to many of the patrons of these stores, hand them an LM to another store, and wish them luck.

Abi: But frankly don’t know if some people realize it is bad hair, Some people like the big badly textured hair..and thats why they are still there, people decided they wanted to look like someone set up camp on there head.  It does get annoying when people have the “im all that” attitude while they are completely outdated.

Lita: Oh yea, that’s always fun, like they have to make up for something because they bought horrible hair. Although there are some new stores now that think just because they have access to sculpties, they are worth something far grander than Damselfly. Mustache would be one of these stores, their hair is like wearing a wig made out of paper mache’ and rocks.

Hair from Mustache

Its a shame about Mustache, they have some cute styles and pretty decent textures, but it looks like they are made of like 5 prims, no movement.

maybe too much hairspray?

So it is that hair evolves with us as Second Life(tm) passes through the ages. Some stores remain huge, relying on their success in the yesteryears while others  will attempt to catch onto the band wagon, aiming to keep up with the industry. Some can only hope that the wild tacomen will come and pummel these stores to the ground with their burrito goodness and stop the madness.
