James Marsters had to bleach his hair to play Spike. James swears that putting packets of Sweet and Low in the bleach lessens the stinging on his scalp when he has to dye his hair. His hair is naturally very curly and the bleach also acts as a straightener. He said about the dye: “Oh, aaargh! What I have to say is, if you ever meet a dyed-blond, man or woman, they’ve got (courage), I’ll say that. Because they have to do it every 10 days. And, you know, the scalp would just peel right off after a while. My scalp would start to bleed. I’d be walking around after the dye job and a little puss-pocket would break and start dribbling down my forehead. It’s like - oh my gosh! And then your scalp starts to fall off. I mean, it peels. Big, thick clumps of it come out.” |

This makes me as well as others should apprecate spike, as well as james, he’s that devoted to making his ” spike fans” happy, I personally prefer james as the brown haired curly haired god, .. that people say he is…. but I do miss spike and want a spike movie… because i don’t want to have spike die. i rather they say he’s alright…. :) by the way, what is his real last name? spike’s anyways, and is he 125? now, or what? shurg: i gave him my own last name ” wordsoryn” combing two of the 19th centrury victorian poets i admire,.. that are very much like william…( Wordsworth, + Byron= Wordsoryn.)
