Elvis's Hair

This is a really ramdon question but it has just popped into my head. As Elvis's hair was dyed black, how did Elvis manage to keep this up whilst in the Army as it was cut short and his natural colour would come through very quickly, especially when he was on manovers and on the base. I know he had his own home but I am sure sometimes he would have to stay on the base.

Just having a random think on a Saturday night whilst Mike is dishing out my curry for tea.

I don`t think his hair was black when he was in the army.

When it grew back in it probably looked black because of what he used to style his hair.

BTW, hope u and your fella r well;)

I thought it was after the army as well, it just always look dark on the TV, must have been all the Bril-Cream. Me and Mike are fine, we are both looking forward to seeing you and Debs again in February .

During his Army service, Elvis let his natural colour return.
When he got back home to Graceland it was it's natural light-brown. I can't see him keeping up the black colour during his service- can you imagine the stick he would have got from the other guys? Nor did he have any filming projects so he kept it natural. He even kept it natural well after he finished his service for the filming of Flaming Star & Wild In The Country.

You can see Elvis' natural colour hair in the 1961 films 'Follow That Dream' and 'Kid Galahad'.

hi guys, Elvis hair was dyed black for gi blues, blue hawaii, flaming star and wild in the country and then natural for follow that dream and kid galahad, after that it was black all the way.

Follow that dream is one of my fav films of all time! I do prefer Elvis with Black hair but there was nowt wrong with him in that film, thats for sure.

Awww Val, am made up to hear that Mike is still doing his new husband duties and lookin after you. Hope he cracked you a can as well. Hehe! xxx

Yep, had the whip in hand just to keep him in his place. Unfortunatley he got the can and I got a glass of vimto.
