Big hair is a big deal these days. High fashion magazines are calling it a new look for spring. Highlandtown has never totally abandoned teased confections. And some of the wildest and biggest hair in Baltimore is expected to show up Saturday at The Hair Ball, a party and art exhibit hosted by Baltimore's own John Waters to benefit Maryland Art Place.

For women who have mastered mousse, but are too young to remember the teasing techniques of the Sixties, we give you a short brush-up course.

Chris Young, a good sport and nail stylist at Hey Jude's salon on Dundalk Avenue is our hands-on and how-to model.
