Bad Hair Day / Good Hair Day -- You Call It
My friend Alan Hanson writes a wonderful blog about Elvis Presley. The Elvis-History-Blog is well researched and it?s full of interesting and informative articles.
Above is Alan?s blog for this week. He and I have often come up with similar ideas, but usually they are years apart after time has dulled our memory of the other?s work. This week we both independently decided to do a blog on Elvis? hair. One thing I especially like about Alan?s story is this quote by Red West from his book Elvis, What Happened?: ?That hair has always been [Elvis?] crowning glory. I have never known any other human to take more time over his hair. He would spend hours on it, smoothing, mussing it up and combing it and combing it again.?
With that much concern for his hair, you would think Elvis had nothing but good hair days. However, as you will see here, he had some bad days, too. Also included are some shots where you might have to think about whether you would label them bad hair of good hair days for Elvis.
Here are two easy ones. Mid-seventies Elvis looked good in his long hair and enormous sideburns. The picture on the right looks pretty rough, but in fairness to Elvis, it was taken after a strenuous karate workout. A good shower and shampoo plus some of that relentless smoothing and combing certainly had it looking sharp again.
Here are two young Elvis shots. In that iconic photo on the left, that we have all seen many times, it looks like Elvis worked on his hair quite a bit. Larry Geller, Elvis? long-time hairdresser, has written about how unruly his hair was. In the second photo, it looks like Elvis? hair had a mind of its own and rebelled about being slicked into place.
Speaking of slicked down hair, how do you like the left shot? Red West also wrote, ?The handfuls of Vaseline he put on it made it look much darker than it was.? Elvis had a few handfuls on his hair the day this photo was snapped. The other picture shows Elvis with a more natural look.
Most folks would agree that Elvis never looked better than when he appeared in the ?68 Comeback Special. However, after several hours of filming, his hair was falling in his face a good bit. I don?t care. He still looks great to me. A quick look at the picture with Tom Jones makes it seem Elvis had a huge mop of hair. Look closely, and you can see that much of it is just the shadow from the photographer?s flashbulb.
Here are two photos of Elvis in Hawaii, one from 1973 and one from 1956. He looks to have been outside in both shots, but the wind was probably blowing only in the 1956 shot.
The wind most likely was responsible for this unusual look to Elvis? hair as he captained a boat on vacation. It seems like Priscilla wasn?t too keen on having sea air blowing through her hair.
Here?s another photo of Elvis and Priscilla, plus cute little Lisa. There are some other photos from this family setting floating around on the internet, and Elvis? hair looks good in all of them.
This is a Photoshopped picture. You can tell the sunglasses were added, because Elvis did not wear this type sunglasses in the 70s. They are not like the custom designed models he favored and spent a lot of money on. The hair is real, however, and it was a good hair day when the original photo was taken.

Postscripts To Earlier ElvisBlogs -- 7
No Rings:
We took a look at Elvis? Fabulous Rings back in May. In the article, I suggested you check out Elvis? hands in any of his jumpsuit pictures, because he would usually have three or four on each hand. Now, look at the picture below. There are no rings on his right hand.
Elvis is wearing the Sundial jumpsuit, so we know this photo was taken at the end of his career. During that period, he often suffered through swelling problems, and on this night, none of his rings would fit the right hand.
Elvis and Elizabeth Taylor ? Not:
This post last April pretty well decided that Elvis and Elizabeth Taylor never met. The one internet photo of them together turned out to be a fake. So, I guess there is not one photo in existence showing Elvis and Liz together. Except maybe this one of them holding hands on the cover of Movie Mirror. Did they have Photoshop back in 1969?
Ducktail:
An article titled Tony Curtis, Elvis, and Ducktails, posted back in October 2010, had several good photos showing Elvis? classic ducktail hairdo. Here is another one. For you younger readers, he is reaching for the needle arm on his 45 RPM record player. Every kid had one.
Shreck ? A Hunka Hunka Burning Ogre:
There never has been an ElvisBlog article that mentioned Shreck, but I?ve had this picture for over a year and never had a reason to post it. Shreck Forever After has been playing on one of the cable movie channels recently. Does that count?
Two Better DVD Covers for Lonely Street:
We looked at the film Lonely Street in an April 2010 post titled Mr. Aaron Has Left the Building. I criticized the studio for not including a picture of 75 year-old Elvis on the DVD cover. After all, the whole plot revolved around him.
Now, we find that there were two alternate covers featuring Elvis that were not selected. What marketing idiot thought the cover they used would appeal to more folks than one with Elvis on it. Not only photos of him, but great tag lines: "Elvis Has Not Left The Building.? and ?The King is Alive? and Everyone Wants A Cut.? If you haven?t seen the movie, one of the best scenes is when the young hottie in the white tank top comes totally unglued when old Elvis takes her in his arms.
DEA Sweat Suit:
Last February, we started our Elvis Scrapbooks series. The caption under a newspaper clipping in the scrapbook revealed something I didn?t know. The night before Elvis died, he had a dentist visit around 11 PM wearing a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) sweat suit. The photo below is certainly not from that night, but that?s an older Elvis, and that is a DEA sweat suit. So, this is probably the DEA shirt he wore to the dentist that night (packing heat, too).
Elvis on Abbey Road with the Beatles:
I did a Mini Elvis Blog in August 2009 containing just three altered pictures. Ever since then, the one of John Lennon and Elvis together has consistently stayed one of the most viewed pictures on the blog. Also in the mini-blog was a shot showing Elvis going one way across Abbey Road, and the Beatles coming back from their iconic crossing. The Elvis picture comes from his arrival at Fort Chaffee in Arkansas in March 1958.
Now there are two more Elvis poses on Abbey Road to share with you. Don?t you like 70s Elvis in his Karate gi prodding the Beatles to get across the street?
The picture below is a set of stamps from some country I have never heard of. There have been quite a few paintings of Humphrey Bogart, Elvis, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe together. Usually they are at a bar, or playing pool, or something similar, but I love the idea to incorporate one more pop culture reference by having them cross Abbey Road. Elvis' pose is okay as a shot of him dancing in a movie, but as a style of walking, it?s pretty lame. If he keeps it up, Bogart is going to punch him out.
