Hair hair everywhere

I've recently decided to lower my maintenance level. The eyelash extensions are off, I'm hanging up the hair extensions for now, and thinking of how to limit my highlights. I know, i know, but I grew up in California and spent a few years in Tampa. This stuff doesn't even SEEM weird anymore. It seems weird when someone doesn't have a handful of hair extensions under their sink. 

So, as most of you ladies know (and maybe a few of you guys?) growing out blonde hair is an ugly, ugly process. It looks somewhere between skunky and trailer trash. It got me thinking though - at least I have an option of ombre, highlights or just flat out dying it. Poor Tim Tebow didn't have any of those options when he got a hazing haircut...

SeXxXy.....
He did eventually shave his whole head, but it got me to thinking, who else in the sports world has had cringe worthy hair? Here's a few of my favorites...

Troy Polumlu. I just want to give it a keratin treatment and attack it with a flat iron. I pretty much LOVE all of his Head and Shoulders commercials though.

David Beckham. It should seriously be illegal for a man this good looking to have hair THIS bad. I mean, he pulls it off about as well as a white guy can...but ugh. 
 
Anyone else I'm missing? Or any tips on ways to grow out dark roots without looking like this...

Things are changing around here a little...

Since I've made the move to Europe, my blogging has died out. Partially because, well, i'm in EUROPE and I've had other things going on than writing. The other reason is that the sports over here don't interest me as much as football. I don't get ESPN, and there are no Sundays spent in sports bars. The really big sports over here are soccer and rugby, which I REALLY don't understand. (I tried one night to get someone to explain it to me, but it still didn't work. Possibly the beers? But it still looks like a bunch of really huge, unpadded men playing a bastardized football.)

There is an american style football team over here though, and I need to get to a game before we move back to the states. Kaiserslautern Pikes

ANYWAYS. I digress. The point is, I'll still be talking about sports, but I'm going to venture into other things on my mind as well.
