Your lost boys post on costumes made me wonder would they even cut or dye their hair? Oh, what about tattoos? Piercings? I always assume whatever they do to themselves would be permanent cuz being dead would mean not being able to grow out their hair again. Though I guess with hair dye they wouldn't have to worry about touching up the roots. lol
It's interesting, because the movie goes out of its way to not say anything about how old the vampire characters are or what their pasts were like or who they were before they were Lost Boys, so like...it is not inconceivable that all four of them had those haircuts prior to undeath. (It is not inconceivable that they've all, like, been vampires for a year or less prior to the Emersons coming on the scene. This isn't the implication that I get, but it would be a very funny way to interpret the movie.)
If you assume that they've been undead for longer than about six months, though, which I feel like the movie wants you to do, then it makes sense to me that none of them would have gone full mullet if there wasn't an option to change that hairstyle without having to lose the luscious locks at some point in the future. So conceivably their hair could still grow?
On the other hand, though, absolutely nothing about the 'plan' with the Emersons makes any logical sense beyond 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' if you sit down and try to think it through for a few seconds, and somebody turned Laddie, so yeah. Maybe they really did just make a permanent decision that can't be reversed because they thought mullets looked cool and did not consider even for a second that they might not love mullets forever. How could this possibly go wrong.
This implies that part of the reason David's covered up chin to toe in black all the time is because he has a truly astounding array of deeply regrettable tattoos he's trying to hide. I'm adopting this headcanon forever now.
