Mmph here goes. . .
I am a delivery driver for a party rental company (tables, chairs, table settings and such),
and because of this I spend lots of time walking to and from my delivery van. When its
raining, I can't use an umbrella because I need my hands free, and a hood is too hot
lugging around
heavy things. So on days when its really rainy my hair is wet all day. This
is both annoying, unsightly, and makes me cold. I think some sort of gel, or hair spray
(both even) that has the properties of Scotch Guard would help me, and others who find
this a problem, rather useful. Seeing as washing it out would be hard, it would have to
come with a separate bottle or can of Hair Scotch Un-Guarder.
(?) Darn, no croissant hat.

Hands free umbrella.Down toward the bottom. Plenty of other hats that look even sillier. [half, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 06 2004]

(link) Alternative solution. Or not. |
|
| |
That link. . .it blows my mind. I can't even begin to fathom who would buy a big foam hotdog hat. for novelty. other than the jughead hat of course. . . |
|
| |
Now if you had long hair and the spray is real gooey, you could form it into an umbrella before it hardens. |
|
| |
The dwarf hat guy on half's link looks like my idea of ebinezer scrooge. :)
Hey, the umbrella hat is only $4.98, and in your line of work (party rental co.) it would be fitting.
I thought the hamburger hat was quite enticing, of course that may be because I missed lunch today. |

Don't worry [notme], Scotch Guard washes out pretty easily. |
|
| |
ps - my girlfriend owns the flower pot hat in [half]'s link. |
|
| |
A hood may be too hot, but there are plenty of rain hats with air holes for ventilation. When I can't be bothered with an umbrella, I just wear a baseball cap. Entirely hands-free, and I don't get any gook all over my head. |
|
| |
what is needed is a waterproof hat with guttering all round the edge leading to a down pipe ending somewhere around the ankle. |

Re half's link:
Look mommy, that duck just shat a man's head! |
|
| |
On a more serious note, well, more serious then my last note, wouldn't scotch gaurd make the rain run into your eyes? |
|
| |
As for rain running into my eyes, I guess it could. But it would depend on the way my hair is combed (or not combed as the case may be). And im not a big fan of wearing hats. although I think i could pull off hat shaped like a shark pretty well. . . |
|
| |
Form a hairstyle that naturally gutters the water away from your eyes. Maybe the big bang trend of the 80's. Lord knows they used scotchguard to hold it. |
|
| |
Hell, what about taping your hair up? I say, screw hairspray...TAPE! |
|
| |
Its to keep the rain off, not keep the hair up. And have you ever HAD tape stuck in your hair? Its a mess. Oh the pain. . .the PAIN. |
|
| |
I HAVE had tape in my hair, but i cut it off :-P. The tape would work if you wanted a kind of permanent hairdo. To keep the we off your head, don't old ladies have those little plastic rain bonnets for that?? |

igirl - you're not a girl are you? |
|
| |
Given that she's only wearing Saran wrap and sticky tape, it should be pretty easy to check. |
|
| |
1st thing: po, i am a girl
2nd thing: DrCurry, if you're so fixated on my saran wrap bikini, why don't you model it for us? oh wait...AAAGH! NO! disturbing imagery....{{{shudder}}} |
