Funny ​Hair Puns! 

A page of puns and humorous wordplay about hair, hairdressing and anything else of a hairy nature.

Hair has been around almost as long as human beings.  Fashion may change but hair in the right places is always popular.

Instead of curling up with a fashion magazine or spending three hours to straighten an unruly strand of hair - sit back and enjoy a few hair-filled moments and hair-raising tales. 

They may be cuttings swept from the floor but stick them on with a bit of glue and no one will tell the difference.


Judging by the punning names hairdressing salons use to advertise themselves there is plenty of mileage in hair, styling and accessories to build something that is a cut above.

From films through songs, expressions and jokes - there is something for everyone from the happily hairy to the boldly bald.

​Here are the puns.

Names for Bald People

In these gentle times we refer to them as follically challenged.  That is a bit long to shout at a bald-headed twit in order to attract their attention.  It could also be misheard as phallically challenged, a whole different ball game.

Slaphead is an affectionate Old English term of endearment.

Other possible names are Archibald or Theobald.  Even Baldric.

A good way to engage a bald person in conversation, if you can't otherwise avoid them, is to ask if they starred in Breaking Bald. 

If that goes well suggest they get rabbit tattoos on their head.  "From a distance it will look like hairs"
