My procrastination knows no limits
Recently I've been fascinated by Aiba's hair. Locky picked up on it . . . and suggested a certain . . . willingness to consider Aiba!hair fic. I made her a proposition . . .
Um, Locky . . .does this qualify as a mini-picspam??
This post is constrained by the images I already have uploaded and a firm vow to myself that I will do this post in 20 min or less so that I can get to work.
First, we have classic Shukudai-kun hair. Well-behaved, soft-looking, all that good stuff.
It's criminal how nice his hair is when you think of all the processing it must go through.
Closer . . .
I would just like to point out that he's drinking milk with umeboshi (salted pickled plums) in it. Ohno stated with great authority that it tastes like Camenbert cheese. I think I'll just believe him and leave it at that.
More Shukudai-kun-- Maybe I just like to get caps of them eating.
So what? You might reasonably reply. Anyone's hair would look good in a studio setting, with makeup and hair people on hand. Your picspam means nothing.
But here's the thing: Aiba's hair really stands out during concerts--when he's running around, flailing and sweating. How is that possible? It's clearly not natural. The evidence:
Aiba may mess up his choreography occasionally, but his hair? Always in the right place. And if it isn't looking soft and fluffy, it's shiny.
That's the somewhat boring, part-down-the center hair.
Then we have the fluffy, silky hair that dominates Aiba's concert-look:
Oooh, slightly rumpled--But look at his face. It's totally on purpose. Aiba's command over his hair is supreme.
Gratuitous kicky picture of Aiba: (But his hair does look nice, so it's ok, right?)
Midway through the concert, still pretty much perfect
One of the few instances of seriously ruffled hair:

Disney Prince/ss hair:
Fluffy hair of the future:
If there was ever a picture begging for a fic . . .
*makes puppy-dog eyes to all and sundry*
Sparkly hair of love:
Shiny!
Proof he has made an infernal pact to get this hair:
Before: The infamous fro wig
After, the wig comes off and . . . WTF? is his hair indestructible?
No one else's hair looks like this after that:
Still not impressed? It's just product, you might say. It's probably super-glued in place.
Au contraire, mes amis:
Before:
After:
Again:
and . . . back in place:
Much in the same vein:
What is this, anyway? A Pantene commercial??
after:
So there you have it. A pointless but heartfelt homage to Aiba's . . . hair.
Obviously, I am avoiding work something fierce.
PS. In the vein of Arashi hair, I would also like to reiterate the power of Ohno's hair to defy gravity:
I guess the difference for me is that Ohno's hair looks good, but it also looks really product-y. Aiba's gives the impression that it just does that. If I thought there was a product that would do that for me . . . I would invest some serious bucks into that.
And because no post involving Arashi and hair is complete without the following image, I give you Rumpled!Sho:
Gratuitous Hot!Rumpled!Sho shot:
ALSJFLSJLFJDLSJLJFLSJLAJLAJSLJ. Yes, plz. Times infinity. Plus one.
