Whole Lotta Hair

Forget Led Zep's reunion. Let's talk about Robert Plant's hair. Holy Hairclub for Men! The guy is 59 years old and he still has a head of a hair a 28-year-old would envy. Yeah, I know he's bleaching his thick halo of ringlets to hide the gray, but he still has the thick halo of ringlets. Look at the photos. Below left, Bob Plant in 1972. Below right, Bob Plant last month.

              

Bob's hair hasn't thinned or crept back his forehead a single centimeter. It's still bouncy. Wow.

I'm not the only person to notice his eternally young mop. New York magazine asked some hair stylists to weigh in on Bob's locks. "Robert Plant definitely has a perm," stylist Rodolfo Valentin tells the magazine. "I call this the mucho-mousse-and-gel look."

All the stylists agree Bob isn't wearing extensions. It's his hair, and it's a little overprocessed. Stylist Carlos Vega says, "If only he used a curling iron—it would have been a lot prettier."

    i think that plant is getting hair plugs from abigail washburn, the banjo player for the all-girl, appalachian band "uncle earl". i saw them in concert last night and there is no denying the connection. if you are interested in some pretty weird, old-time music sung in mandarin chinese, check them out on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCFJ3LURCtc. and yes... that is john paul jones playing the piano (need i say more?!).
