On Men: Think John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Jay Leno, Donald Trump, The cast of Friends. Ie “high maintainance” hair that requires “products” to produce the effect. Or you can buy it in a box like William Shatner.
On Bints: Either very big like they’ve been riding a motorcycle without a helmet or very very complicated so that they can’t move: See Ivana Trump, Theresa Kerry, Jennifer Anniston, Kirsty Alley etc etc.
I know that these are famous people but yank tourists often have something of this about them and it sticks out a mile.
When I used to work on the trading floor of a large American brokers you could stand on the walkway and pick out the yank staff based purely on body shape and hair (blokes all preppy and polished. Bints too thin with shoulders like middleweights from too much gym time. Also they were the ones that weren’t hungover).
I have my hair short at the moment. Kind of short on the sides and back, and a little longer in front. I tend to let it grow until that horrid ‘wave’ at the front annoys me enough, and then I cut it short again. It’s low-maintenance. I wash it, towel it off, and part it on the left. Sounds as if I don’t have American hair. If not, then it must be from some other country. If it’s from another country, maybe I can emegrate to it.
Perhaps in London, but when travelling in third countries, I was told that they like Americans for being communicative and easy going. It’s also my feeling.
