Well yes, according to British Hairdresser of the Year finalist, Darryl Smith. He told the Western Mail “90% of women,” he says, “have a side fringe and long, straight hair, either with blonde highlights or chocolate brown ones. Everybody looks the same."

If you feel you are the exception and want to prove Darryl wrong, he is currently looking for hair models for his competition portfolio. You need to be aged 16 to 25, photogenic, with straight or naturally curly hair, at least shoulder length and be willing to have your hair cut and coloured (for free).

Barretta you are so right. As you can tell from my name I am Welsh and have jet black hair cut in a very severe bob with an extreme thickness to it so it holds the style well. He must have been talking about the swimming mammal when he mentioned Whales....lol

Yes from North from a place called Pwllheli which is isolated but groovy. We are reasonable fashion and style conscious there but there are a few farmers that leave alot to be desiered
