Yes ~ Back in the day ...I had like a lion's mane - long, volumous and thick...as we all age ...it thins out SO much and now - like a real tree after christmas is over ...seems to fall out alot. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED you hair, your pony tail, your hair clips & everything Highlander. Purchased the series on DVD. LOVE what you did with your Highlander fame ~ your PEACE Fund & philanthropy & the beauty of your soul ! You are a hero of mine !
Yeah, the pony tail is iconic. I have mine in a pony tail most of the time. Duncan McLeod is a cool character and I think he looked coolest with that pony tail.
I was a teenager when the show was on, and McLeod's ponytail was so esthetically powerful it's the main reason why I let my own hair grow long. I'm 40 now, my hair is still long and I don't plan to cut it short any time soon! :)
I liked your ponytail☺️😇. The shorter one.. Before Duncan cut off his tail in season 6. I loved his celtic hair brooch. And, yes.. I agree with the fact, that long hair, it's one of the best style of Duncan.
I'm regrowing my hair now. In the 90s Highlander inspired me to grow it out. The for the better part of 20+ years I pretty much has a completely shaved head. 2 years ago I decided to grow it and now I have a ponytail again. :) Love it. I remember when Duncan had the half up ponytail. That was my favorite. I do that most of the time, but a full ponytail is easier. I wish I could get those hair ties you designed though. I can't find them. :(
Ponytails are great gets all of your hair off of your shoulders, but if you have a head injury like I have ponytails only hurt after so long my hair has grown longer than I would like it to be so I have been pulling it back into a ponytail today I probably won't do that because I have a headache. Your ponytail in Highlander was the best even when you didn't have it pulled back into one it was still awesome. But things are changing yet again so either everything is coming back into the style that used to be or they are alternating it in some way. Either way ponytail or not hair still looks beautiful.
I'm growing my hair out again too. I'm lucky enough to have a face that let's me look like a musketeer if I have my hair long. My trick is to do a close buzz on the sides the width of the clippers and do the same on most of the back of my hair. I still get the look without it mushrooming on the sides.
I probably grew my first one out because of Duncan McLeod. I cut it off for Locks of Love after about 3 years. Since then I have gone thru cycles of short and long hair. I think I have donated my locks at least 4 times now.
Yeah, my hair is to my waist and I keep it in a ponytail most of the time. I've had it so many years now that it has become part of my persona. The biggest part is because my wife loves it and you always go with what the wife says.
I always thought Duncan's long hair sort of tied him to the past. In the '90s it wasn't uncommon for young guys to have long hair, but you didn't often see grown men with it. But it worked for the character. And I always liked the scenes where you see Duncan putting his hair in a ponytail, or where his hair was loose; because you could tell it wasn't a wig or hair extensions. It felt like the actor was invested in his character. Also, I was a teenager with long hair at the time, and I wanted those hair ties SO bad!
😊Hey Adrian😊 You really look 👍 great OK👌Now it get it with the beard, that is what I thought it should be ... it is not scruffy ✌! The ponytail masterpieces were \ are spectacular ... I envisioned you holding the artifact and wrapping the band onto your hair backwards. You got it ❤ together now ... not to to say the other look wasn't OKAY "👌" '!' " HAVE A NICE EVENING, AND DAY FOR TOMORROW" ! ❤😊
It was the late 80's and early 90's when the show was on, and guys with long hair was kind of a thing. We're not talking mullets here, that was something else and best left alone, but think about it, you had musicians with long hair, actors had longer hair in many films, it was that sort of time for that, and to have the ponytail was kind of that image and swagger that made the look. I remember in school here in the states the guys in high school, a lot of them had long hair. Myself, my hair never lent itself to that and my parents being very conservative would never allow it, but all of my sisters boyfriends at the time for that couple of years in the early 90's all had long hair either in ponytails or just let out.
I want you to know I cried out loud during the episode Duncan cuts his hair. I understand why it was done, but it was the end of an era, and it was sad. Also during the 90s at my work about 1/3 of the men there had well kept ponytails, so I thought they were a very attractive feature.
Wait where can we order those hair ties I’ve been looking for them! You see my bruhder had them all when I was growing up watching Highlander from years 1994-1998!! He passed away 6 years ago and I’d love to have some for myself ad it was our show we’d watch together! It inspired him to become a black belt he was the same age as Richie(Stan K.). Duncan was the father figure full of values and standards we always wanted!!!
Wow! That's awesome about you designing the Ponytail Hair Ties. I had a replica of one. Actually pasted it to my 70 year old father who decided to grow a ponytail too. He looks like a cross between You and Gandalf. ;) But Im sorry Adrian is not getting credit for his art. I love the Celtic designs. I bought that hair tie about 20 years ago.
I liked the ponytail because it differentiated Duncan from Conner at first but it also helped during tbe scenes of showing him with his clan in flashbacks as a warrior. I think it was very in fashion for the 90s. Added to his look in a great way.
Not many men could/can rock a ponytail. For that time, it was the perfect choice for your character. Sidebar: your hair always looked clean & healthy. Definitely will check out the hair bands. Very impressive your design sense for that product.
Wow I am learning more and more you don't get NEARLY enough credit for that show. I had no idea you designed the hair ties and did the research for some of the episodes. Glad you retained the copyright for the hair ties. Fish oil supplements and natural remedies from a youtuber called curlyproverbz helped my thinning hair a few years ago and. Because I prayed yes I'm serious. Because absolutely nothing was working because my hormones were out of whack due to menopause and my hair was the one place it affected me. Anyways a few days later I came across the channel and I used the hair mask once and 80 % of my hair loss stopped. I bought the ingredients online and mixed it up. I used it a total of three times and didn't need it anymore. The fish oil supplements helped regrow my exes hair. Because he was taking it for cholesterol then I noticed it was filling in bald spots that were well established. Now I sometimes take it for the thickness I had years ago. But mostly I use herbal infused oils and the avocado hair mask. Sorry for the long message lol. Stay blessed
Loved The Highlander series as a kid and I am currently working my way through the series again on Amazon video. I managed to acquire one of Adrian Paul's Celtic hair ties from his PEACE line that were sold back in the day. I have had it for a couple of years now but I have never found any others for sale. I wish I could find them all!
I for one would love for you to grow your hair back out if you can. I am female & chemo thinned my hair. I use Biolage Volume Bloom shampoo & conditioner to give a little more boost, but it's still not what it used to be. I am always a huge fan of Duncan & his hair! You did quite a nice job in that role!
The ponytail was it's own character! It definitely helped the story if you started the episode with it tied back, and by the end, the hair was down and you looked like you'd been put through the ringer. Lol. Loved the show, but I wish season 6 had had less of the spinoff search episodes. Felt like a small betrayal of trust to have people tune in and have little or no Duncan MacLeod (looking at you Two of Hearts).
Super cool to find out Adrian designed the metal hair ties. Any clue where they are still for sale? I’ve looked for the past few months and just thought they were no longer available…?
I’m a nice guy I just chose the name Destroyer been my codename since I was 11 playing Pixel Gun. I just thought because Lambhert’s hair was long in the past and then short in the present, your character would do the same thing. But your character is different he was cool and unique I liked how your character he was more Social than Lambhert’s. You played the role very well.
I am 60, and have long hair and for work, I wear it in a pony tail, Just because it is easy to do. Mine hair is thick and heavy, and so as soon as I am done working I usually take it out because it gives me a headache.
My mom and I loved your pony tail and it really was integral to McCloud's look and aura. I see a lot of men now of all ages wearing ponytails, buns and loose. A lot of native men in my community wear a gorgeous braid down the back.
Were you allowed to choose the costumes in the Highlander series yourself? Because no matter what you wore, whether sporty or elegant, it always suited you. Greetings from Germany!
hey im great fan. just a thought i think you could play a young Sean Connery as the Spaniard in highlander as a orgin story. kinda how they did orgin story for Duncan and Colleen Mc Cloud.
I've always been a sucker for guys with long hair. As a woman, I've always worn a ponytail. And as long as you can keep it tied back, it doesn't bother me at all, but it's all got to be one length. Bits of hair that escape the hair band are very annoying.
I haven't had a ponytail for a long time, but I still have 2 of the Highlander hair ties! Thank you, Adrian, for the great designs! My hair didn't cooperate to grow it all out like you did, I had to go for the long mullet look. ;)
My screen name used to be highlander 59 I saw another highlander I said there can be only one where do we meet.He said I don't want to meet I'm only a kid.I dmsaid I'm kidding I don't even have a sword, I sold it 100 years ago.
I have had my hair in a ponytail for years partly because of you on Highlander . I thought that it not only looked cool but the top tail and the back hanging down looked very classy.
In the 90's it was natural to have ponytail, that was the fashion. I myself had long hair and a ponytail was something normal when I doing sports, it was comfortable. I was inspired by MTV's Dan Cortez. Many of the action movie actors at the time had ponytils, and also because I trained Aikido Aikikai and Shotokan Karate it was natural to have long hair and a ponytail like Steven Seagal and Lorenzo Lamas :) For ten years I had long hair and finally the trends changed, so and I grew up more, which resulted in the decision to cut my hair by half and style it with the spirit of fashion. It was a difficult decision, but it was inevitable. Now I prefere short hair, there are more comfortable but my wife urges me to grow my hair long like I used to. For the last four years, every year I have grown my hair to the length like you have Adrian, but I cut it off every time. Every time when I did it my wife was inconsolable :)
Long hair was Duncan's calling card! Without a doubt, one of the best series here in Costa Rica is broadcast every day at 11 pm in Spanish! If you want the link I'll gladly post it! Long live Sir Adrian Paul!!
I had one of the hair ties when I was in highschool, but that was a long time ago. I haven't had long hair for most of the past ten years, but now I'm thinking of growing my hair back out just to get those hair ties again.
It's time to bring back the Highlander series. What would you think of a Netflix no holds bar version that would have you come back as mortal in a mentoring sensai role, and who would you choose for that role? I think that would be amazing! They could do it like Cobra Kai and mix in the old cast with the new. Win win win!
I know I look best with my hair down, but it bothers me all the time, so I usually have it in at least a partial ponytail. The thing you have to be careful with is to not have too tight of a ponytail or it actually causes your hairline to thin out and recede.
Anybody questioning the ponytail dude it was the freaking '90s just let it go LOL biker shorts were in when Highlander the series debuted in 1992.... I should know I was wearing them LOL.
The last time I had my hair cut was when I was 15. I have had it trimmed since, however. I am soon to be into my eighth decade on this earth. Needless to say, my hair is quite long (I sometimes accidentally sit on it), but it is thinner than it used to be. I’ve always said that I’d cut it off when it turned gray. It’s not there yet… still more brown than gray (thanks to genes from my mom’s lineage). Yes, with long hair, there is a definite need to tie it back out of the way at times. For me, that is when doing something active like exercise, or when doing something messy like painting or cooking, or just when it gets too hot - sweat and hair… yuck! Besides, it can get tangled, and untangling long hair is no fun.
Mine is still mostly brown and down almost to my knees! I am in my late sixties and have cut it many times in my life, just not in the last 10 to 15 years. I stil have extremely thick hair that always requires the bands or barrettes labeled for such, tho it was even a bit thicker when I was young. I always tie mine back unless I am dressing to go out somewhere and want it looser to compliment a look. Over the decades I've collected a ton of nice hair ornaments.
I prefer styling my hair down more often like I use to do , but I manage to style a fantastic a ponytail look all the time or sporting a cap when it needs to be accommodate with the attire, easy to do wearing a hat or cap when I am a HAT personality ❤
I've had down to my waist, and right now it's below the bottom of my shoulder blades. I've kept it in a ponytail most of the time, starting in 1987, which is also the last time I was clean shaven. Like Adrian, my hair is thinner now, but my lovely wife likes it long, and since I don't mind, it's a win
With Covid and many people working remote these days I’m seeing a lot more man buns and ponytails as guys have let their hair grow long and experiment. I’ve grown my hair out as well and got the man bun going but every once in a while I’ll do the pony tail and every time I do I can’t help but think of the iconic McLeod ponytail . Not many people on tv could pull it off but you certainly did.
As long as I was working I had a ponytail, it was just practical. Since I'm pensioned I wear my hair open, but because I have that problem with thinning hair, too I cut it off to about chin length and now let it grow out anew. Maybe I'll cut it again, but no ponytail anymore.
Here’s a random thought , why did they keep Anna on the show so long. She seemed soo annoying and in the way. Was it just to fill the space of Tessa. ? Hardly did that. Wouldn’t been better to add more past content of Highlander .
What do I think? Any hair problem you now have can be solved by a hairpiece and if you are accustomed to struggling with your thin hair (or baldness), a hairpiece will be no problem to work with. $400 and it will last 4 to six months of daily wearing before enough hair falls out that you need to replace it.
I always thought your hair was as straight as mine but that was only in season 1. I'm jealous of your curls. I grow my hair longer in the summer just so I can wear a ponytail and get the hair off of my neck. In the colder months my hair is about shoulder length.
I had long hair, wearing a ponytail, the whole time at school. After that period it cut it all off. That was a big change. But necessary. If i see men today with a ponytail, i'm always thinking, they are all Highlander fans, because you looked so cool with it! LOL
Did you always have the ponytail throughout Highlander? In some of the flashbacks, where Duncan is meant to have short hair, I guess it's tucked down the back of your collar. But in some of the shots, you can see the back of your neck. I assume it was either cut short then, or it was tucked off at the side of your neck, away from the camera's view.
IDK if Adrian will ever see my comment but if so... I noticed in season two, the episode with the immortal who was a young black man who you saved from being hanged at the beginning of the episode then had an altercation with a dirty sheriff at a "white's only" diner where the two of you were set to eat, your hair was a regular cut-off at the neckline the of cut and it was difficult to tell if that was a hairpiece over your hair or if you cut it for filming. There were other scenes throughout the series where you had longer hair but flashback scenes where your hair was shorter. So, did you cut it for some scenes or was it a hairpiece over a skull cap? Just had to ask and sorry for the run-on sentence.
Dude the ponytail was a big part of what made Duncan so cool.
❗❗❗😎 Cool & SEXY ❗😍
Adrian Paul with a ponytail is one of the most legendary thing in The Highlander Series.
No one wears a pony tail like Duncan ... It was epic 🖤
Yes ~ Back in the day ...I had like a lion's mane - long, volumous and thick...as we all age ...it thins out SO much and now - like a real tree after christmas is over ...seems to fall out alot.
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED you hair, your pony tail, your hair clips & everything Highlander. Purchased the series on DVD. LOVE what you did with your Highlander fame ~ your PEACE Fund & philanthropy & the beauty of your soul ! You are a hero of mine !
Loved the long hair
Yeah, the pony tail is iconic. I have mine in a pony tail most of the time. Duncan McLeod is a cool character and I think he looked coolest with that pony tail.
I've cut mine although not to a short length, but kept the pony tail as a trophy.
I was a teenager when the show was on, and McLeod's ponytail was so esthetically powerful it's the main reason why I let my own hair grow long. I'm 40 now, my hair is still long and I don't plan to cut it short any time soon! :)
Don’t cut it
I loved the ponytail ❤
Been a fan since I was a kid. Thanks dude
I grew my hair because of you lol!
I loved the ponytail.
I still have those holders. The elastic is all stretched out though.
I liked your ponytail☺️😇. The shorter one.. Before Duncan cut off his tail in season 6.
I loved his celtic hair brooch.
And, yes.. I agree with the fact, that long hair, it's one of the best style of Duncan.
i miss my long hair. I had one of those Highlander hair tie things!
I'm regrowing my hair now. In the 90s Highlander inspired me to grow it out. The for the better part of 20+ years I pretty much has a completely shaved head. 2 years ago I decided to grow it and now I have a ponytail again. :) Love it. I remember when Duncan had the half up ponytail. That was my favorite. I do that most of the time, but a full ponytail is easier.

But things are changing yet again so either everything is coming back into the style that used to be or they are alternating it in some way. Either way ponytail or not hair still looks beautiful.
The jewelry in the ponytail was a hit👍
IT was cute and a part of the character. Serious moment was the cutting od pony tail after killing the best friend.
I'm growing my hair out again too. I'm lucky enough to have a face that let's me look like a musketeer if I have my hair long. My trick is to do a close buzz on the sides the width of the clippers and do the same on most of the back of my hair. I still get the look without it mushrooming on the sides.
✨Nice, very nice. No other way, for Highlander, lol.✨
I probably grew my first one out because of Duncan McLeod. I cut it off for Locks of Love after about 3 years. Since then I have gone thru cycles of short and long hair. I think I have donated my locks at least 4 times now.
Had one at the time, and after 18years of shaving my head I grew it back.
Love the pony tail !!!! It is a throwback to the hippy era where hair was the thing . Love it !
Awesome
Yeah, my hair is to my waist and I keep it in a ponytail most of the time. I've had it so many years now that it has become part of my persona. The biggest part is because my wife loves it and you always go with what the wife says.

I used to have long hair 😢, I miss it. Throwing the hair back in a tail. Many moons ago…..
I just recently found my Highlander hair tie. And now I have super short hair.
😊Hey Adrian😊
You really look 👍 great OK👌Now it get it with the beard, that is what I thought it should be ... it is not scruffy ✌!
The ponytail masterpieces were \ are spectacular ... I envisioned you holding the artifact and wrapping the band onto your hair backwards.
You got it ❤ together now ... not to to say the other look wasn't OKAY "👌" '!'

You and Bret Hart are the reason I wanted to grow my hair long. I haven't had a tight short cut since I was about 13 back in 2003.
Would love if you still had a ponytail.

Yep though these days my fringe is migrating back to visit the pony tail, less duncan more telly savalas
Oh you look fabulous and enticing with long hair...ponytail or not...still..I just have z crazy passion for long hair...

Yeah,the ponytail is making a come back!
Yes I wanna know too. I found one here in Sweden but I’d love to have one authentic Highlander too… !
Perfect 👌
It’s ironic this popped up because I’m just now watching the series for the first time.
Wow I am learning more and more you don't get NEARLY enough credit for that show. I had no idea you designed the hair ties and did the research for some of the episodes.

Still rockin’ the ponytail. The MacLeod hair ties have long since lost their elasticity, but I have ‘em. 🤘🏼
Super cool to find out Adrian designed the metal hair ties. Any clue where they are still for sale? I’ve looked for the past few months and just thought they were no longer available…?

I watch the series on Tubi now. I STILL LOVE IT! He looks great for his age.
You made those amazing hair ties ! Great detail and artwork
He is one very cool dude. I enjoyed him as Duncan so much better than Conner in the movies.
Loved your look with the ponytail. I always wanted to grow my hair out like yours but it had different ideas.
bring back the ponytail!
In my opinion, the short hair was even more iconic because of the special circumstances which led him to cut his hair
Were you allowed to choose the costumes in the Highlander series yourself? Because no matter what you wore, whether sporty or elegant, it always suited you.
Greetings from Germany!
hey im great fan. just a thought i think you could play a young Sean Connery as the Spaniard in highlander as a orgin story. kinda how they did orgin story for Duncan and Colleen Mc Cloud.
The pony tail was cool because that was of its time
I've always been a sucker for guys with long hair. As a woman, I've always worn a ponytail. And as long as you can keep it tied back, it doesn't bother me at all, but it's all got to be one length. Bits of hair that escape the hair band are very annoying.
I am your age. I had a ponytail until 2020. Just wanted a change. So I shocked everyone I knew and cut it. Lol
I haven't had a ponytail for a long time, but I still have 2 of the Highlander hair ties! Thank you, Adrian, for the great designs!
My hair didn't cooperate to grow it all out like you did, I had to go for the long mullet look. ;)
I'm a man with long hair like McLeod but I don't do ponytail hairstyle like him, more like a Japanese bun.
My screen name used to be highlander 59 I saw another highlander I said there can be only one where do we meet.He said I don't want to meet I'm only a kid.I dmsaid I'm kidding I don't even have a sword, I sold it 100 years ago.
I have had my hair in a ponytail for years partly because of you on Highlander .
I thought that it not only looked cool but the top tail and the back hanging down looked very classy.
I thought the look was great. Where can one maybe find those hair ties?? I been looking for years.

Ugh my hair is thinning now. Kills me cause I always had thick hair. Took it for granted. 🤦🏻♂️
Long hair was Duncan's calling card! Without a doubt, one of the best series here in Costa Rica is broadcast every day at 11 pm in Spanish! If you want the link I'll gladly post it! Long live Sir Adrian Paul!!
I was a bit sad to see the ponytail go after Richie's death. It felt like the show had a new main character.
I had one of the hair ties when I was in highschool, but that was a long time ago. I haven't had long hair for most of the past ten years, but now I'm thinking of growing my hair back out just to get those hair ties again.
Did anyone else catch Cobra Kai, when Terry Silver showed up with a ponytail and the kids said he looked like the Highlander?
YES! I loved that line!
I typically now only wear one around the house when I'm doing stuff but doing stuff but I still have a couple of my Highlander ponytail ties :)
It's time to bring back the Highlander series. What would you think of a Netflix no holds bar version that would have you come back as mortal in a mentoring sensai role, and who would you choose for that role? I think that would be amazing!

I know I look best with my hair down, but it bothers me all the time, so I usually have it in at least a partial ponytail. The thing you have to be careful with is to not have too tight of a ponytail or it actually causes your hairline to thin out and recede.
Where can we buy the ponytail holders that you designed for Duncan? I would love to buy some. Thx
I remember in the PEACE fan club magazine, you showed the ponytail being cut off and framed for auction. That was cool!
The only real man that coould pull off a ponytail and still be a man. Still so hot.
Anybody questioning the ponytail dude it was the freaking '90s just let it go LOL biker shorts were in when Highlander the series debuted in 1992.... I should know I was wearing them LOL.
just curious, sir. What is the Tattoo for?
Thinning..? You are doing OK Adrian... I am about 2 years older than you and flies use the crown of my head for a landing strip...
The last time I had my hair cut was when I was 15. I have had it trimmed since, however. I am soon to be into my eighth decade on this earth. Needless to say, my hair is quite long (I sometimes accidentally sit on it), but it is thinner than it used to be. I’ve always said that I’d cut it off when it turned gray. It’s not there yet… still more brown than gray (thanks to genes from my mom’s lineage). Yes, with long hair, there is a definite need to tie it back out of the way at times. For me, that is when doing something active like exercise, or when doing something messy like painting or cooking, or just when it gets too hot - sweat and hair… yuck! Besides, it can get tangled, and untangling long hair is no fun.
NORA 😊
WOW / WOW/WOW 👌
MY MOM HAD THE THICKEST HAIR A WOMAN CAN POSESS, FIVE HEADS OF HAIR ... MY HAIR TYPE IS MEDIUM TO FULL VOLUME BUT NOT THIN😊
Mine is still mostly brown and down almost to my knees! I am in my late sixties and have cut it many times in my life, just not in the last 10 to 15 years. I stil have extremely thick hair that always requires the bands or barrettes labeled for such, tho it was even a bit thicker when I was young. I always tie mine back unless I am dressing to go out somewhere and want it looser to compliment a look. Over the decades I've collected a ton of nice hair ornaments.
I prefer styling my hair down more often like I use to do , but I manage to style a fantastic
a ponytail look all the time or sporting a cap when it needs to be accommodate with the attire, easy to do wearing a hat or cap when I am a HAT personality ❤
I've had down to my waist, and right now it's below the bottom of my shoulder blades. I've kept it in a ponytail most of the time, starting in 1987, which is also the last time I was clean shaven. Like Adrian, my hair is thinner now, but my lovely wife likes it long, and since I don't mind, it's a win
With Covid and many people working remote these days I’m seeing a lot more man buns and ponytails as guys have let their hair grow long and experiment.
I’ve grown my hair out as well and got the man bun going but every once in a while I’ll do the pony tail and every time I do I can’t help but think of the iconic McLeod ponytail . Not many people on tv could pull it off but you certainly did.
As long as I was working I had a ponytail, it was just practical. Since I'm pensioned I wear my hair open, but because I have that problem with thinning hair, too I cut it off to about chin length and now let it grow out anew. Maybe I'll cut it again, but no ponytail anymore.
I had a ponytail back then. It wasn't easy to manage. My hair isn't easy to manage unless it's really short. I usually gel it.
Duncan MacLeod rode the pony pretty good with the tail man!!!!!!!😁
Here’s a random thought , why did they keep Anna on the show so long. She seemed soo annoying and in the way. Was it just to fill the space of Tessa. ? Hardly did that. Wouldn’t been better to add more past content of Highlander .
What do I think? Any hair problem you now have can be solved by a hairpiece and if you are accustomed to struggling with your thin hair (or baldness), a hairpiece will be no problem to work with. $400 and it will last 4 to six months of daily wearing before enough hair falls out that you need to replace it.
I always thought your hair was as straight as mine but that was only in season 1. I'm jealous of your curls. I grow my hair longer in the summer just so I can wear a ponytail and get the hair off of my neck. In the colder months my hair is about shoulder length.
If I'm not mistaken the long air in season 1 was extensions. Season 2 is Adrian's real hair
I had long hair, wearing a ponytail, the whole time at school. After that period it cut it all off. That was a big change. But necessary. If i see men today with a ponytail, i'm always thinking, they are all Highlander fans, because you looked so cool with it! LOL
I still put my hair up in a ponytail with hairbrushes when am at work all time
The pony tail made Duncan McLeod. When you cut it off, you lost something.
Did you always have the ponytail throughout Highlander? In some of the flashbacks, where Duncan is meant to have short hair, I guess it's tucked down the back of your collar. But in some of the shots, you can see the back of your neck. I assume it was either cut short then, or it was tucked off at the side of your neck, away from the camera's view.
Wigs in some shots were used. They looked so good though.
HIS HAIR FROM SEASON 1 - EP 7 ON Was the BEST . Pity tha he cutted on season 2
So the ponytail was your real hair? Back in the 90s a friend told me it was a wig.
IDK if Adrian will ever see my comment but if so... I noticed in season two, the episode with the immortal who was a young black man who you saved from being hanged at the beginning of the episode then had an altercation with a dirty sheriff at a "white's only" diner where the two of you were set to eat, your hair was a regular cut-off at the neckline the of cut and it was difficult to tell if that was a hairpiece over your hair or if you cut it for filming. There were other scenes throughout the series where you had longer hair but flashback scenes where your hair was shorter. So, did you cut it for some scenes or was it a hairpiece over a skull cap? Just had to ask and sorry for the run-on sentence.
I think we need a new character set in the 1970s as a prequel!
