: Probably all he needed was a good bath. Seawater can make you feel really rough around the old scalp follicles. Last summer, I spent whole days at sea in my little sailing boat and was glad to get a fresh water shower when I got back to the camp site - and I was still very shorthaired.
: If I were advising the poor guy, I might have suggested a good brush and comb, perhaps get rid of the split ends and a beard trim. Then he could say what he preferred...

Totally agree, but "I might have suggested a good brush and comb" for his beard too I think the beard fits him very well furthermore his face looks old but he isn't gray so the beard and the "unruly mane" made him younger and manlier.
".......get...a...haircut.....get...a....haicut..", those subliminal messages are everywhere, we have to stay strong all the time.
