Hi Bill,
I think what Arnolder is trying to say is that, his newly grown hair is not soft, not easy to style, and hard.
I feel the same when I see Harsha Bhogle's (celebrity in India) and Abhijeet Bhattacharya's hair (singer in India). Gives an odd look. Please google for these celebrities pictures and observe their hairlines clearly, you will know what I am talking about.
Arnolder,
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!
