Thick hair

'Be proud of your thin hair,' Mirror Mirror's father used to tell his tonsorially-lacking offspring. 'Who wants fat hair?' Yes, daddy dearest, but few want to see scalp, either, was the unspoken retort (a bit of a pointless retort in this instance, as Mirror Mirror's father's scalp is on entire display due to what is commonly known as 'baldness').

It's not hard to see why thick hair is venerated in the chapel of hair. The 1980s took it to extremes with supermodels such as Cindy Crawford. Would Nigella's spoon-licking be so sexy without that swoosh of hair? But Elton took things a bit far with his notably thick hair, making one suspect, in the words of thin-haired Miranda from SATC, whether he does 'crop rotations on his scalp'.
