Unexpectedly invite an ex-friend round one night for a meal. (Preferably a frizzy blond or someone with very long, but thin hair.)
During the usual after meal banter, ask them if they'd like a go on your Van de Graaf Generator* (they always say yes, those sort of people can't rest the temptation).
During
the entertainment, and just when their hair's at its most peculiar, reveal a hidden can of hairspray and let them have it!
Then send them packing.
*If you don't have a Van de Graaf Generator, use a cat and an ebonite rod.
(I can't accept all of the blame. My nephew and niece thought this one up - I just added the malicious streak)

Hairspray? Try mulberry juice and epoxy resin. [ConsulFlaminicus, Apr 08 2006]

I like it! Except for not finding anything malicious in it--it all seems like good fun to me. |
|

Based on my time in a powder-paint booth, I'd say that the particles of the hairspray might pick up a charge and repel away from the hair. If you could put the opposite charge on the hairspray can, it might work better. Might, I say. Definitely a croissant. |

Thanks for the bun (from my nephew and niece). |

Well they'd been musing on the bus over one of the other passenger's hair-do (We were on our way to the Science and Natural History Museums in London - so we had static on our minds). |
|

Science Museum? - Do you have any idea what happens when matter meets anti-matter? |

Great idea. Post some photos when you're done. |

I thought we'd kinda done this one to death already - see links. |
|

thumb: you wandered into one of those fairy mounds where you don't come out untl 100 Internet years later?! Anyway, that link doesn't work so well for me. |
|

Link still works for me OK - just Google Images for the thankfully inimitable - Phil Spector - (who must make you surely not pine for hair) and you'll do fine. While I've been out and about for a spell, I've sent more than a few New Yawkers to your Curry and f-stop sites. If so challenged 50 years from now, I could draw many a baker's pic from memory, certainly yours, and when all is said and done, that, not buns or fishbones, is what counts. |

Cheers DrC - As [dbmag9] pointed out I can't spell Van De Graff (I naughtly relied on Google's "web's most common spelling" method to check, rather than a physics book) - and then I didn't find anything when I searched HB - BTW - I can't access Wall Of Hair |
