REACTIONS TO A FRIEND'S (REALLY) BAD HAIRCUT

- pretend like you don't know them

- help put things in perspective

- "Your hair looks like a brushfire, but in a good way."

- offer to slash tires of hair stylist responsible for this abomination

- set ground rules

- "dude, you gotta get some of that turban action goin' on"

- attempt to engage friend in conversation covering any subject but their haircut, and accidentally steer the conversation back to their haircut

- "I can tell you need some alone time", is always a good out

- donate a tuft of your dog's hair as a way to show you care

- say, "This is only a tiny part of the long journey that is life"

- offer to take your friend's picture as a future reminder of what NOT to do

- break your friend's arm as a way to distract from the searing pain of their haircut
