A Brief History of All Things Us

It all started with a dream. The dream of a doe-eyed, baby faced adolescent boy who aspired to one day share his love of all things hairy with the world through a mediocre mustache based magazine. One etymology project, four staff members, and five days later, Handlebar Magazine was born. So sit back and shave your worries for later. It's time for the hairy truth.

Hair Color: A Checkered Past


I was always impressed how good people look with different type of color in their hair or when they change their color every 2 weeks, but it is another thing when you talk about your own hair! I really liked the color and length and even how thick my volumes locks are and said I would never ever change something! However last summer when I prepared myself for going to a different country for a whole year my best friend and I went into a supermarket and talked about what is going to change in future when I am not there anymore and we can’t see each other like always, while we were floating in melancholy, Verena (that’s the name of my best friend) stopped and screamed out loud “WE ARE GOING TO DYE YOUR HAIR !”At this point I thought she was joking but she picked a lot of different boxes with women’s faces + hair color next to my face to see which fits best. During that I really liked the idea to try it and look totally different after that procedure so I called my mother and of course first she was pretty against it but didn’t want to show it, instead of yelling  she said :” You are not allowed to ruin our towels and make a mass with my bathroom and don’t ruin your close and you are going to look so different and you are going to America and in summer I stay normally with my natural hair and I don’t know what your dad is going to say and..and..and..” I replied that I am old enough and I can do it in America to and that my dad loves me anyways so my mum , who always dyes her hair finally told me I am allowed to. Verena and I started directly when we were back at my house, and nobody had a clue how to do it. We ended up laughing and struggling with my locks. Following the direction is a good plan! Otherwise you end up with uneven hair color.
