Call me crazy, but I like watching ferrets more than hair. Maybe it’s my love of animals or the fact that I already see lots of hair on a daily basis. Or just maybe its because ferrets (and indeed most ferret owners) have hair, so when you watch a film about ferrets, you get the hair for free. Also I find hairdressers to be a little less nutty than ferret owners, after all many normal people cut hair.

Personal biases aside, the hairdressers in this film are a cut above most (hilarious!) since they are all members of the US hairdressing team. Where did the US hairdressing team come from? I have no idea. What I do know is that this group of dedicated hair technicians (and their trainers) travelled around the globe in a quest for international glory. In the film, the team competes in the 31st HairWorld Championship in Moscow (think “Olympics of Hair). Unfortunately the team doesn’t do that well, while the Russians, with their home country advantage, win a whole boatload of medals. Fortunately next year’s HairWorld is being held in Chicago, so if you can’t make it to the actual olympics next year, consider HairWorld a questionable alternative.
