Let's Talk About Something Serious - Sherlock's Hair

[pennswoods]

This is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart. I seriously have a thing for Sherlock’s hair. I love drawing it, enjoy reading about it, and fantasize about giving it a good yank.

*sigh*

But Sherlock’s hair isn’t all that consistent. I adored his Series 1 hair - it was so full and rich and curled every which way. But his Series 2 hair was a

Ha! I have the opposite feelings about Sherlock's hair from season to season. When my hair was that length, I had pretty much his exact amount of curl as in Season 2, so of course to me, that's what looked the most natural.

I knew you would come with pictures. I love me some of that Shezza hair. I love a little filthy and messed up. I agree that I really don't like the overstyled hair in the image from the day of TEH filming. I wonder how much his hair quality reflected the weather. Both HLV and ASiB were filmed in the late summer while TEH was filmed in March and April.

Oh! You know, I hadn't even considered that, and as a curly-haired person myself, that's ridiculous. GOOD POINT.

SHEZZA HAIR. UNF. That was the best hair. (Also it was reminiscent of Summer!Batch from last year, between filming TSoT and HLV, when he was doing Top Gear and the Japan visit and he just looked gorgeous.)

Then again, I have an unhealthy attraction to Shezza anyway, so...

Hair = actor.

Frankly, they shouldn't dye it. He looks better w/natural hair.

In depth analysis of Sherlock's hair... I love you so much! ;)

Both of my paintings of Sherlock used Season 1 hair as a hair reference, and so I think I'm biased into thinking that his fluffiest, best arranged hair was season 1. I generally thought season 3 hair was a bit too crispy-looking, but there were definitely hair fluffing moments that made me melt. I'll need to rewatch season 3 specifically for the hair.

I think my favorite hair is the 'little lost puppy in a lab' hair. *sigh* So fluffy!

Ooh, this and Shezza hair are tied for my favorite.
