van hair Page 15

Ah, the dreaded "van hair"—a uniquely Australian affliction where your luscious locks are ravaged by the relentless breeze of your van's open windows or the lack of a proper roof rack. It’s basically the automotive equivalent of a bad hair day, but chronic and vehicular. Symptoms include tangled strands, static cling, and an unfortunate resemblance to a hedgehog. Solutions? Try a hat, a scarf, or simply embrace the wild look; after all, it’s a badge of honour for road warriors. For the neat freaks among us, investing in window visors or using interior fans can help keep your coiffure intact. So yes, van hair is real, annoying, and entirely preventable—if you care enough.
