Last time I saw Liam he had a head of blonde hair that that was round and twice the size of his head. This time he had collection of braids, long, short, here, there, everywhere, along with hair floating loose and some that looked like was stuck together for life. I actually found it fascinating - how does one get to that stage? And a beard. He just doesn't care about it, I.m guessing.
