Because I Think of These Things: Vampire Hair

I do not directly recall Stephenie Meyer addressing this bit, but, I ran across a note, in the Twilight: Director's Notebook (even though I don't really like CH at all, I had to have it! I know you understand ;), which got me to thinking. What I found was on page 31, it's a styling note for Alice, written sideways pointing to the picture on page 30, it states:

"In Chapter 22 of Twilight,we find out that Alice was confined to a mental hospital in the 20's so her hair was cut off jagged - SHORT & SPIKY"



found this cool pic on deviantart


Which makes sense. It also makes me jump right to the conclusion that whatever hair you have when you're turned, is the hair that you end up with. It obviously doesn't grow anymore, but, I've been pondering recently that maybe you can't cut or change it's style either.

Let's just go with the idea that their hair is as indestructible as the rest of them. Scissors and razors wouldn't work obviously, but, maybe they could bite it off and burn it before it tried to reattach itself? Along these lines, I'm going to land on cannot go longer, but, maybe can go shorter.

As far as hairstyles, I'll buy it, it's consistent, they seem to tend to style them in ways that are consistent with their time periods (well, other than Emmett is supposed to have curls, but thank goodness they let that go rather than recruit yet another horrible wig to these movies! But, that will change Rosalie's story about baby Henry probably, and maybe why she wanted to save Emmett after all)


But, what about other hair things, like beards?



Or Sideburns/muttonchops?

for that matter, why are none of them bald?

Why do none of the boy vamps (Cullens, nomads, or other) have beards, mustaches, or facial hair of any kind? Were ALL of them clean shaven when they turned, no matter where in history? Or, maybe they get one last shave once they start turning? Do you think Carlisle shaved Edward once he got him home?

Back waxing maybe? Or do you have to live with a bear if that's what he was?



What about the girls then? Leg shaving wasn't always in vogue;
what if you got turned without shaven legs?



With hairy pits?

Do you have to live with that forever?


Or lip waxing, if you had a faint mustache are you just stuck?
Monobrow?



Bikini line?
Never an option for a Brazilian?
Always with the 70's porno bush?


Thank goodness that vampire pairing seems to be a solid bond. Otherwise it may get to be kind of a drag looking at hair sweater dudes or man leg girls for the rest of time. (maybe there's just a lot of lights out adult party time going on...)

So now because I think of these things, and have a good imagination, I will share them and you can be stuck thinking of them too! (with pictures of course, because what if you're imagination just isn't up to snuff?)

This is fantastic! I was on board with the hair not growing...so you could cut what you had shorter. But it never dawned on me that maybe you *couldn't* cut it.

Vamp #1 - dude...I need to trim the lady bits

Vamp #2 - I'm so not munchin your rug today

hahahhaha!

Pictures make the post, by the by. Thanks for the mental pictures of hairy ape man and pit bush girl that will be burned into my brain.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun putting it together. I personally have a blog span of a small child it seems and have decided that all blogs need pictures, they're just better that way :)

And yes, that did then make me wonder that if that is the only way to manage extra hair, if you had hairly legs and suddenly it was in vogue to not have hairy legs, you could proabably get some of it yourself, but, would have to have someone else help you with other parts of it ... which could just be awkward...

vamp 1: hey, that was part of my calf

vamp 2: my bad, lets just stick that back on here and try again...

and ftr, those weren't the worst pictures I found, I tried to balance between getting the idea in your head, and being somewhat tasteful...

again, made my own self laugh to put this together :D

I am so glad I'm not the only one to have random twilighty thoughts. Kudos on this one! Of all the random things I have turned over and over in my mind, never thought about the hair.

You do make an excellent point - can they change their hair. I think you may be right and the hair they are turned with is what they get for all eternity. That sucks! I change my hair on a monthly basis and would go insane if I couldn't.

And thanks for the pictures, lol, I'm afraid I'll never get those images out of my head!
