All my life I have wanted two things: to do my parents proud and to have thicker hair (not necessarily in that order). Now, with a degree, the job of my dreams, and various achievements behind me, I've officially achieved the former, but the second has proved more elusive — until now because the U-shape haircut is about to change all that, as hairdressers suggest that it's one of their go-to tricks for making hair look thicker. Praise be.
