Each recent decade has had its defining hair moments - this is my recap:
50s - Movie & pop stars leave postwar blues behind - M: Elvis-style Teddy Boys and D.A.s. F:Monroesque curls and flicks.
60s - Peace, maan; the hippy error. (sorry, era) - M: The `Jesus` look. F: The `Jesus` look, sans facial hair.
70s - The decade style forgot - M: Jesus`s hair is unwashed and split ends are showing. F: Farrah forces it on everyone whether it suits them or not.
80s - Greed is good - M: Short, sharp and successful. F: you`ve got it, so flaunt it. Hair is BIG!
90s - Still going strong (but in a caring way) - M: Hair continues to recede, it`s even cool to bypass the barber and shave your own head. F: Locks ruthlessly looped off as minimalist chic rules.

The point of all this preamble is this; we are now well into a new decade, the 00s, or `Noughties`. There`s a new Prez, possible recession, global warming, the internet, wipeout by an asteroid etc etc to look forward to, so how do you thing our hair will define this historic decade? All predictions are welcome. I shall revisit this question in 2011 and the one who came closest will receive a crisp $5 or £5 note and a signed photo of yours truly. ;-)
