So basically, gaffe is the answer for the second question but no certainty as to whether it is "skinhead" or "hair weave"? Sigh.....

What kind of style is bunches? Dreadlocks = a style Skinhead = a person with a distinctive feature of having a head that looks hairless or skinned, but not the style itself Hairweave = a broad category that would subsume many styles Bunches = never heard of I'd eliminate both hairweave and skinhead right off the bat and say that it had been a trick question! Braided regards, WordWarhorse, m. m. PS: When are we ever gonna find out about jobsworth and all that jazz?

I'm with wordwind, I know what dreadlocks are, hair weave, skinhead, but don't know about bunches. If someone can explain bunches I'd go with skinhead because it's a lack of hair style, otherwise I'm voting for bunches.

Well, according to the "Times-Chambers Combined Dictionary Thesaurus", bunches are "long hair divided into two pieces and tied separately at each side or the back of the head". Which is why I'm confused that some people say hair weave IS a type of hairstyle and so is skinhead, for some reasons! So which is it?
By the way, about the "jobsworth" thingy, I'll get it by Friday, 26th April.

Hairweave is something you do to your hair, so I'd call it a hairstyle. Skinhead is more a description of the person than the hair style, I'd call a person a skinhead, the style is a shaved head. If I were describing the hairstyle I might be going to get I could say I'm going to get a hairweave, then dreadlocks, put them in bunches and when I'm tired of it shave my head and be a skinhead.
