The hilarious Hair Barrels blog seems to underline the fact that it's much easier to find the perfect wave in somebody's coiffure than off the coasts of the world's unpredictable oceans. Mill Street Studios has put together this amusing Tumblr page to compile photos of various celebrities being combed for prime wave-riding conditions.
Meryl Streep, Audrey Hepburn, Bill Murray and Conan O'Brien are some of the faces that you'll see within this website. They're decorated with the expert moves of professional surfers that have been Photoshopped into the rolled bangs and curled tips of a range of hairdos. Each figure found in Hair Barrels has been lightheartedly renamed with a label that suits the surfing lifestyle.
