Middle Child Hairdon’ts
This is what my hair looks like when I wake up every morning. I realize this is not an exclusively Middle Child phenomenon. I know that many others face similar coif catastrophes each day. But this is a Middle Child’s blog after all, and I want to stay on point. So I feel it’s important to focus on those Middle Children who hold a very special place in the Bad Hair Hall of Shame. In fact, they are some of the most legendary superstars of the follicle follies, taking the pursuit of the hirsute to hair-raising new heights. In many cases, literally. It kind of makes perfect sense when you think about it. I mean, what an easy way to grab attention. With the stroke of a brush, or perhaps a comb, it’s like saying, “Look at me,” without even saying a word.
Here are just some of the many Middle Children who know how to make every day a bad hair day.

When it comes to seeking attention with your hair, sometimes less is more.

The original heavyweight champion of hair. At the height of his career, his hair was, too.

When your dad once bit the head off a bat, doing weird stuff with your hair is mild by comparison.

Donald Trump’s BFF has had hundreds of people executed since taking power in 2011. His hair stylist must have been one of them.

Her vast collection of attention grabbing wigs runs the gamut, from rainbow striped to leopard spotted.
