[Long] Hair in the movies

[term122]

Hi all,

I may be the only person who has ever looked to Conan the Barbarian (original, 1982) for hair advice, but I always liked Arnold's hair and headpieces, as well as some of the other characters.

I grabbed some interesting hair-related snapshots last time I watched it so I could look back easily and figured it might be interesting to share them. Any discussion of snapshots posted or posting of your own from different films is welcome.

Conan's mom's hair.

Conan's mom framed between the 2 bad henchmen, both with long hair of their own.

Here's one henchman without his helmet. His hair seems pretty good for his round head.

The other henchman. Love his hair and mustache.

Conan's head from the top. Not sure how his hair stays styled like that at that angle.

Conan's hair held back somehow, maybe a loose pony tail or something?

A shot from above, but hard to make anything out.

Again with the classic headpiece, long hair.

Conan with shorter hair. Holy bangs.

Not sure if his hair got shorter yet or if the wind just puts a new perspective on things:

Here is the big bad guy. He has really cool hair, appears to be buzzed on top and long on the sides or something.

First bad henchman again:

Wow. Haven't thought about that movie in ages.

As far as hair in movies goes, I feel the LOTR trilogy would be hard to beat. :)

Ah, Conan! Makes me want to watch it again...and Red Sonya...gotta love the old classic fantasy movies.

James Earl Jones RIP!

Oh my gosh. I remember being all dreamy over Conan's hair back then. I guess the stars in my eyes made me blind to the really bad and obvious wig/weaves. They all look like they're made out of fried doll hair.

The theory is good ... the execution not so much :shake:

They did have some long and unique hair.

James Earl Jones RIP!

He's not yet shuffled into the great beyond. and while I will always think of him as the voice of God -he's not quite there yet. :)
