Thread Name: What Is With Robert Redford's Hair?
Subject: RE: What Is With Robert Redford's Hair?
Walking Eagle--when my Mom went through chemo and her hair started coming out in clumps she went to see a neighborhood barber and asked him to shave the rest off. He very considerately led her to a chair in the back room so she wouldn't be in view of the general public and took care of it. She felt so much better, and then she wore a variety of hats and soft poofy things.
I've been under the impression that Redford, like many of us beyond a certain age, has some help maintaining the color of his hair. The men I have known who had red hair through their adult years had two things in common: 1) they went by the name "Red" and 2) as they got older it was more like salt and orange juice (versus salt and pepper). It gradually got lighter as white hair crept in. Robert Redford has seemingly held off that stage. But they still could call him "Red!"
