His hair is naturally somewhat wavy and extremely thick. His very long
floppy hairstyle during the begining of the last basho reflects his state
of mind. Personally I thought it looked gorgeous,especially framing and
shadowing his face- a very romantic look,  BUT... it is not the  norm for
his world, and for that reason is a bit strange. He did trim it by the end
of the basho.
I greeted him today and his father's funeral. He is very beautiful, but
thin, and I worry about his health.
