fluff warning!
This is something I wrote over the weekend, which just goes to prove I had WAY too much time to think about nothing in particular, because not only is it fluff, it's silly.
As anybody who’s seen The Fellowship of the Ring knows, Elrond’s hair needs Help. Serious help. Since I have a very silly brain and a fair amount of time to think ahout things like this, I’ve developed a theory about Elrond’s hair, which is as follows:
Elrond, being part human, has a genetic predisposition toward bad hair (see Aragorn and Boromir for examples of bad human hair, although Aragorn is by far the better [worse?] example). This is borne out by Arwen, whose hair also tends to be terrible (see the scene in which she finds Aragorn and takes Frodo, and the scene in the extended version when the Fellowship is leaving Rivendell. Two different awful hairstyles, there.).
In the scenes with Isildur, Elrond’s hair isn’t nearly as bad, and yet he’s just been through a major battle with it. (Lack of helmet might have something to do with this, since lack of helmet means lack of helmet hair?) However, after that version of the war with Sauron is over, I believe that Elrond, having nothing better to do, went off to Rivendell and spent the next three thousand years fighting with his hair, and losing monumentally. Which brings us to the present day, so to speak.
To begin with, from the front it looks like Elrond doesn’t have much of any hair at all, except for the long bits that hang down over his shoulders. The long bits have knots tied in them. Come on, now, three thousand years and the best you can come up with is tying knots in it? I haven’t even been around for thirty years yet and I’ve already given up on tying knots in my hair! Ahem. Anyway, it’s got knots tied in it. Upon reflection, this could be a stage at which he decided to give up and let it have knots tied in it since he couldn’t make them go away, but I doubt this.
From the back, it’s not quite as bad. At least you can see that Elrond still has a fair amount of hair, even if it is tied up in a highly overcomplicated knot or braid or something (I plead insufficient lighting in the scene with Elrond and Gandalf before the Council meeting for lack of being able to tell what’s up with the back of his head.)
(Don't say I didn't warn you it was silly. Any flames you send me for wasting your time reading this will be used to warm up my cold feet. Hee hee.)
