A hair-raisingly good article by Jack Shannon.

Hair. We all have it. But when you’re a broke student, paying good money for a haircut, when it’s just going to grow back seems like a waste of hard earned student loan. Money that you could have spent on beer. Or books. Whatever, we don’t judge. Well never fear, SPG is here with the low-down on the various different hair options available to both sexes.

BLOKES – Save money on razor blades by growing your very own beard! Think of it like a hairy pot plant.

THE JOSEPH
As of, Coat Of Many Colours fame. If you’re going to dye your hair, make sure to do the roots as well.

THE TOILET DUCK WOW!
Your hair looks great! Bright pink or blue! It looks cool as hell! However, it does look like your hair has some pretty weird cleaning products growing out of the top of your face. Sorry.

THE I-CUT-THIS-MYSELF
What you think it says: I cut my own hair to express my individuality. What it actually says: I’m broke.
