Hairy Deal

Out here a professional haircut is just not an option. So what's the next best thing? You ask one of your mates to cut your hair for you. There are obviously a few basic rules to follow. Number one (and most importantly) make sure you schedule the hair cut right after work - when you know the "hairdresser" has not yet had time to have a beer or ten. Number two - you have to be brave - these "bush cuts" are not for "sissies". Number three - be prepared to cope with rude comments and everything else that may go with it on your next public appearance. Number four - if you had a decent cut this time, don't assume that it will be the same next time around. Number five - try and schedule the cut as far away as possible of your next time going out on leave - at least if it was a bad one, you should have grown back some of it (or you might be mistaken for someone on a "most wanted" list). Here Henk is the brave one with Pierre doing the cutting. Pierre is actually a trained hand at this type of thing. When we lived in Geita, he used to trim and colour my hair and even did my (and Antie Poppie's) lashtints. That was in the days before Leonie moved to site - without having a choice, she ended up being the resident hairdresser and beautician. Leonie - where are you!!!
