The twitter truth about Alan's hair. #alanshair

It's very much an in-joke on twitter and perhaps a little bit evilly over on Culch.ie but Alan Costello's new hairstyle became a topic of debate when he announced on Twitter that the locks were going...

Speculation was rife but Alan remained steadfast not releasing the new hairstyle to his adoring fans until today.

Reaction on Twitter has been quick - from the complimentary:



to the surprised



to the speechless



to the questioning:



and, before you all chastise the poor guy even further, thanks to the lovely ladies in RTÉ make-up... during:













He's a legend. And his new hair is grand. Honestly.

    Yes Lottie, they needed to wig-fit me for the show, it's a little hush-hush right now…

    And Andrew, it's something funny, hardly the dominant feature of Twitter, there are plenty of blogs that aren't worthwhile, if I took them to be the sum of the blogging world I wouldn't be doing it justice, so don't judge an amazing service on one joke.

    You know I think they make those wigs from Gerry Ryans body hair - that they pull out of the sink.
