A man in the Radio Times recently said that I presented everything through a curtain of hair. So, finally, I went and had it cut. That’ll show him. Incredibly, this means I no longer have the most ridiculous hair on Top Gear. I think Richard Hammond does. He disagrees, and so a row broke out which you must now settle.
Bear in mind that he uses more ‘product’ than me and probably goes to a hairdresser. I go to a barber, or at least that’s what he is while I’m there. My hair is definitely worse in the strictest sense but what we’re assessing here is ridiculousness.
Jeremy Clarkson’s hair doesn’t really come in to this. What there is of it won’t be with him for much longer and anyway, hair like that should never have grown on his head. It should be on his scrotum.
Views, please.
A man should go to the barber not the hairdresser – by virtue of using ‘product’ Hammonds hair automatically becomes more ridiculous than yours.
Oh and a scrotum bonce has a certain charm don’t you think? A charm born out of pity?
I think your right i get the feeling you role out of bed put a comb though it job done this is how a man should be.
Where Hammond probably has to have his own bathroom so he does not get in his wifes way and has to get up at least a hour early just to get his hair just so.
What is it with you and Jeremy talking about each other’s scrotums? This is not the first time one of you has discussed the other’s gentleman’s area (I’m not sure discussed is quite the word, but first I typed “brought up” and that gave entirely the wrong impression).
But as to the hair issue (and leaving scrotums out of it), I can only go on my own experience. My hair has two states, mildly ridiculous and completely ridiculous. The latter is achieved through generous and ill-considered use of “product”. Therefore, I think you may be right. Hammond’s hair is the most ridiculous on Top Gear – though you’re all trumped by the pink-haired guy(?) in the audience of the Aussie version of the show.
James yes for once your hair is trumped by Hammonds. Let this me a lesson to the boy. I hope he gets it all cut off by the start of season 12.
As for Jezzas hair leave that one well alone!
Hammond does, indeed, have the most ridiculous hair. He deserves to have it cut in front of a live audience, perhaps under the pretense of a punishment for losing one of Top Gear’s equally ridiculous challenges, by the presenter who demonstrates the least amount of dexterity (Jezza).
Then Richard would have the “worst” hair and you’d be back at the #1 spot for Most Ridiculous hair.
Sorted.
now you’ve disappointed me Mr May, I never thought you would bow down to media pressure to convert to steriotype of the well groomed presenter. As for ridiculous hair I think you all suit your own “looks” and it was always entertaining watching for the differing styles each week.
James you get my vote every time, Hammonds hair is fab but pretty boy hair…Clarksons head shouldn’t be allowed under bright lights, it could blind people.
Oh and after a 12hr night shift and quickly reading before going to sleep, thanks for the image of Clarksons scrotum….there again…it’s a very cold day….

Hmm…I don’t know ‘ridiculous’ is the word to describe you and the other two’s hairdos. I reckon prohibited to describe Clarkson’s, wild for Hammond and as for you…well I find your hair a bit natural. But unless you just put a comb through your hair (or your fingers just like me) then maybe masculine is the word.
RG
The fact that you have hair on your head is enough, the fact that it’s as you have said before sensative only goes to show that it belongs to the rightful owner.
Thumbs up James, it’s whatever suits you and whatever it is that you feel comfortable with.
James, your hair is wild and natural, and not ridiculous in the least.
Clarkson suffers from pube syndrome, an uncommon but distressing complaint, and I think he is deserving of our sympathy more than our mockery.
Hammond though…well, he’s just asking for it.
And believe me, I know ridiculous hair. I’m having a bad hair *life*.
I think you both have lovely hair, long or short! Just as long as Hammond stays away from the spot cream/bleach, I’m happy.
Hiya.
unfortunately no one can help their hair so I would’nt like to comment on people having bad hair. anyway I like Hammonds hair with some lengh in it suits him & its not bad. as for hair product I dont bother. my hair is so fine I cant do anything much with it really so dont bother with putting stuff in it.
I like James’s new hair cut he looks smart & tidy. it reminds me of how he used to have it in an earlier series Top Gear. Longer is good too. I’d prefer James’s hair over my own lol
I’ve always thought that both your hair and Richard’s always looks much better when you’re off filming somewhere than it does in the studio. It’s not so much about whether it’s long or short (although I’ve always liked long hair on blokes) but rather how much it looks like it’s been messed about with by the make-up ladies. In which case I’d say you win the argument James :0)
James I love your hair the way it is. I love hair that looks like it’s got it’s own weather station!
And the winner of the most ridiculous hair in TG award goes to. ….
Drum roll, and obligatory BBC Reality TV wait period. …
James May.
JM: “I’d like to thank my mum, my cat Fusker, my barber and all thoses people, the ‘little people’ who have helped me to win this prestigious award.
James: I think your hair is quite… well, quite.
Hammond’s the most stupid and silly hair now. It’s his turn to look like someone who’s hair had an sexual encounter with a twister.
I like your hair James but don’t get it too short. Consumption, remember that.
I think you had the best hair – it was long and messy. Hammond came a very close second, but only when it’s long, and Jeremy is Jeremy. He never has had a different style, so you can’t comment on anything more then it’s Jeremy. Love to see him grow it out though, just for the opinon of who has the best hair. =D
I’m afraid that I would much rather go to the dentist for treatment than visit the hairdresser.
As for your hair James, my humble opinion is that it was getting a bit curtainish, the new cut suits and makes you look much younger. You are no way near old enough for the flowing locks of the amiable but slightly batty scientist yet.
Be patient.
Well, if James had his hair cut, shouldn’t he post a photo so we can judge?
For any that haven’t seen James’ new haircut – Firsty, for shame for not noticing.
http://i33.tinypic.com/11 v0k69.jpg
Of course Hammond’s is more ridiculous. To attempt to wear product in hair that is so tragically long and fly-away will only result in a mohawk to rival any youth at a music festival. Short back and sides, much better, Hammond.
As for you, James – well, longish hair suits you.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA AAAAAAAAA!!!
*wheeze*
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH EHEHEHE!!!
…uh, what was the question? Oh, right, ridiculous hair.
*snickersnort*
I suppose it would be entirely unhelpful to say it’s still a tie?
Hair is such a personal thing. I have always believed your hair suits you but when it gets long enough to tie it does need a cut (because so long you can tie it isnt you at all) so I breathed a sigh of relief watching you on Breakfast. But don’t go too short either- you have to do what suits your face shape. I’m surprised you have not even stepped into the wild world of Brilcreem James- surely that’s a manly thing?
On the girl front, I used to find it entertaining when my ex spent 10 minutes gelling his hair. It was the action of his movements to ’spike’ each fragment. In the meantime, I had always beaten him in the race for readiness!
Hello James,
I’ve seen your latest interview and I think your hair looks great either way. You shouldn’t change your appearance based on someone else’s opinion. It should be what you want. I will say, your new haircut brings out the roundness of your face more, which I think is very attractive. Richard uses more hair care products than I have since my teens and Jeremy’s hair, well it looked at its best in the 90s, but it will do fine now, since he looks good whether he’s got hair or not. As for me, my hair is halfway down my back, so if I want it to grow longer (and I do
), I’ve got to do at least a monthly conditioning treatment or it breaks and gets split ends too easily. It’s already a pain to brush, so I have to spray it with detangler or else suffer. The nice thing about hair my length is that I can either pin it up or put it in a ponytail if it’s too hot, rainy, or windy outside. If I didn’t, the wind would reak havoc with it.
James, please do not ever change anything about yourself because of what some prat said about you in a magazine or newspaper article. Have you never heard of people cutting other people down due to envy?
If you want to change it for another reason that is fine. Personally,I think the longer hair suits you.
Whether you have your hair long or short, I just hope you keep doing what you do. I very much enjoy watching your side endeavors and when I watch I feel I am getting your honest opinion and outlook on things and I would hate that to be clouded with the thought that you have bowed down to what other people think you should look like or do.
Be who you really are James. I am a woman who is hard to please and I think you are doing fine.
I like you the most with longer hair, there I said it!
The shorter hair brings the whole Samson and Delilah debacle up…
I still like it and it’s not ridiculous not that it ever was!! Jeremy has remnants of either a bad footballers perm or an afro… you decide!
As for Hammond, I think the guy has more hair product than a hairdresser’s stock supply… I imagine a full pantry in his house dedicated (and properly labelled for said purpose) of products!
But you look just great, as always!
Fabienne
Hammond’s hair generally looks as if he has just stuck his finger into an electric socket, that’s how he behaves, too, so maybe he has.
Your hair looks better a bit longer – short as it is at the moment makes you look a bit girly!
Hammond’s hair is the most ridiculous, however because he has made it look like that on purpose. I don’t think anyone is likely to accuse you of a dedication to styling products.
Will Hammond counter this by a discussion about everyone’s shirts, I wonder …
Oh, for crying out loud… is this Top Gear or Heat?
Since you asked though, yours looked good longer, but it looks just as good shorter (you look younger). And thank the Lord above you never appeared to resort to pony tails or ‘hair products’ yourself. Hammond’s hair – well usually looks like he’s been pulled through a hedge backwards.
Who looks more ridiculous? Easy: Hammond, purely for using all the goo and stuff. IMHO men should be men. A man who manages to spend more than 10 minutes in the bathroom in the morning is to be avoided, like the consumption!
Now can we get back to cars and cocking about, please?
Cutting the hair was a good idea (possibly wrong reasons), but you look 10 years younger, and we can actually now tell when you’re looking to camera. Hammond is now the possessor of the ridiculous hair, purely because he looks slightly effeminent with it long, and when it’s short, put him is a pair of short pants, and you’d swear he was wagging school (and primary school at that).
A proper gentlemans haircut, suitable for Policemen, Postmen, RAF Pilots and Steam Engine Drivers is still a short back and sides James.
I’m not sure about this long, louche, public school boy look, smacks of damn lazyness to me but at least it’s not ponce-ified male model effort like Hammonds.
Hammond faffs around with his hair too much and uses far too much in the way of hair product. I prefer the ‘just got out of bed look’ that you wear so well James, long or short!
The longer length suited you but I’ve always thought this slightly shorter length suits you even better, so no cries of “ridiculous” from this corner.
Dear Mr. May, you will let your hair grow long again, won’t you? I prefer the longish-haired prog rock musician look – it makes you stand out from the bland media crowd. You’re still lovely though, of course.
Now, now boys. It must’ve been a quiet day that day as I told a friend of yours (who keeps picking on me) this morning. This was sort of the conversation me and that friend of yours had about a week ago. However his answer was different. He told me it’s a bloke thing, whereas when blokes get a proper haircut they like to get their money’s worth.
I do prefer your hair shorter especially when your long hair conceals most of your face. Must get rather annoying when you have to keep pushing it back out of your face. I find it quite irritating when mine gets into my face and eyes especially when I’m about to try and cross a road and my hair obstructs my view.
Obviously I’m not really one to advise on hairstyles, says someone who’s curly hair got moaned at by a certain cheeky Mr May a few months ago. And yes I haven’t forgotten about that. I do have to say that I personally think that the bedhead look and stubble and a t-shirt instead of a shirt makes you look like a biker though.
Anyway it doesn’t matter on how your hair looks as long as you keep filming and bringing us great programmes like Big Ideas. Also getting your haircut will not cause any loss of grey matter or dampen your talents i.e. your brilliant piano playing.
So is Jezza’s a result of wind erosion from being such a giant then?
I love all your hairstyles, I think they suit you and Mr May, you should never listen to what the critics have to say, listen to yourself and your fans instead. If you like it long, keep it long. We fans certainly have no complaints.
The most ridiculous hair on Top Gear? You mention yourself, Hammond and Clarkson, but there is one notable omission …. the Stig. There is no hair more ridiculous than helmet hair …. I’d think the Stig wins (as usual).
I think I see a bunch of blokes discussing hair on a car website. What the f***?
Hammonds hair is sexi – a bloke should use hair products on his hair to make it look nice
a nice hair do to go with a nice looking face and you’ll get the girls.
Clarksons hair isnt bad but he could make it look nicer
James hair is just bad what ever he does to it
was that pic from the 1960
The Stig doesn’t have hair, he’s an android! A bald version of the terminator!!!
Richard Hammonds hair is nice much beter than James May’s hair will ever be
richard hair is the best i mean he is the only one that make an Effort with. anyway a man sould not long hair because is makes him look like a girl.
Okay, I’m gonna start by saying that Richard’s hair style is truly brilliant even if it’s filled with hair products. I loved your hair when it was longer. That bloke from the Radio Times is a…twat. That’s the most polite thing i can call him. I suppose i don’t mind how it is now, but i’ll be glad to see it grow again. As long as you don’t end up looking like Jeremy. Incidentally my cousin had long hair and got his hair cut short recently and complains you have because he looks like you.
Now I have to run before he finds out I posted this.
Much love xx
Mr James
I thank you, it was getting a little out of control. But more to the point, do you like it? Your the one that can truly be happy with it.
Still on the fence about the website. I hope y’all like it.
thanks again
TRheal
I like Hammonds hair, James i like yours longer.
At the end of the day, does it really matter?
You’re on a car show, not A makeover show.
I don’t think people tune in to look at your hair.
Did you remember to keep the removed hair?
They might come in handy for the next “I’ll eat my own hair” sentence by Jeremy….
Bye
B.
I think it’s a shame you cut it. You all have distinctive hair. Think about it – you’ve got hammond with his, er, nest, you’ve got clarkson with his pubic hair, and you’ve got what hammond famously called the ’spaniel’ look.
As long as you haven’t got a crew cut and look like a bloody chav, we won’t care.
james i havent seen it can you post a pic plese
PS: like that james mays big ideas
James, you go to a barber. You win by default.
Good man.
And here I was thinking Tg did something to revive ye olde hippy style haircuts. I was expecting acidic roadtrips and the like: ‘Hey dudes, tonight we show you the VW Golf LSD. It’s a new type of biodiesel engine… Is it worth the trip to your dealer?’
Richard Hammond’s hair is very pretty *nods*
Hammond’s hair was always more ridiculous then May’s. I can’t believe this is even open to discussion.
James dont worry about your hair, you always look well presented, by the way I love your collection of leather jackets.
Hammonds hair has been getting a little weird since series 10. but James May + That Hair is the same as Cindy Crawford + Mole. It defines the person.
@mark: Are you comparing James May to Cindy Crawford?
I’ll compare him to Marylin Monroe if it earns me a ticket to see the show!
Bout time you got it cut you big girl!
But i do conced Hammonds a bigger girl.
I really want to see your new haircut James, you guys should put up some photos of your new hairstyle.
Anyway Richard Hammond’s hair is nice!
x
I suspect the women will like it better long, James. A girl does like something to get a hold of after all… But occasionally on outdoor shoots, the wind will cause it to obscure your face, which we don’t like either.
Well done for not using product, though, and I enjoyed your characterization of Jezza’s hair. Your cover photo for Radio times was fab, BTW.
Do what makes you happy.
dont have it cut james plz
i would keep it but make jermery grow his and get rid of the fat ow and when will the veryon go round the track
Why not post a picture May. Cause all I could picture is the old haircut that just about covers your ears mate.
I like James’ hair. It looks very dignified and there seems to be more of it than those other two people that yell at him in the show.
hammond’s hair has got longer in recent times and it maks me wonder, mainly because it looks like he is trying to cover a slightly receeding hair line.
its always the same when a pretty boy starts to age badly, bless him.
anyways, hammond has the most ridiculous hair but, its a good job you got it cut because you seem to have westcountry hair and if it gets past your shoulders it goes into ringlets.
this is good on me, but i’m a girl (and an archaeologist so i’m allowed to look windswept and interesting when the need arises).
talking about who’s got the better hair on a car site…
whatever next?
… …
Did you keep the hair you had chopped off? If so make it into a ridiculous looking wig. Then if Clarkson loses a challege force him to wear if for an entire program. He will be default have the most ridiculous
Y’know, one of these days you ought to do a challenge where the loser has to shave his head. (Hey, if Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey can pull off the Kojak look, why not you?)
Hm. A speed challenge. Yep — definitely oughta be a speed challenge.
why not swap hair styles!james could swap with Richard annd go for that “pulled through a hedge backwards look”.Richard meanwhile could end up looking like”TINY TIM”(60s pop star).and jeremy could swap with TOP GEAR DOG because you would have to be “barking mad”to go on t.v. with a “perm”like that!
Hello James (again)
People say that you have a bad sense of fashion, but personally I dissagree. I often see older boys sporting stripy jumpers/rugby shirts and long hair. So in a way you are the height of fashion.
So was that guy who whinged to the RT old, grey and balding? Or not so old, grey and balding? Perhaps he was jealous. If so I hope that you saved the hair and so you could get it made into a wig, find out where he lives and send it to him.
Still looking forward to series 12.
One thing I do have to add is when you have long hair, the hairspray/spritz (applied to control your hair during episodes of Top Gear) makes it look a bit sticky like it has been plastered down a bit as well as sometimes making you like like you’ve got comedy hair.
Haha fantastically good written Jamesi
Lovely to see you’ve got a nice short sensible haircut again, pet. We certainly need to book young Richard in for a short back and sides. Need to get you all looking smart for the annual photo in the lovely Christmas jumpers I’m knitting for you all.
Almost forgot…. I can always do a matching bobble hat to cover up Jeremy’s bald spot.
Bravo for trying something different. It takes a good barber to do anything with wavy hair.
At least you didn’t put it into a pony tail and try that “Falco/Amadeus” style from the eighties.
Go easy on Hammond. He’s got to have a hairstyle that can hold up to being attacked by overexcited women.
Just keep on doing what you do and we’ll keep tuning in.
a hair-cut? as long as its not a moahawk, your good to go… endless teasing from jezza?
Richard’s hair suits him really well! Whether it has product or not, I think it works for him.
Although I think James would look weird with radically different hair…
You have approval from me down here in South Africa. Nice to see a change James…
I don’t think either has ridiculous hair, but if James’ hair needs no product and Hammonds hair does, then maybe at a push I would say Hammond.
I have a friend who claims that she doesn’t fancy Hammond but instead is in love with his hair (which sounds ridiculous to me!).
I think James has nice hair and am curious to see what his new haircut looks like…
Erm, James, isn’t that just the same but shorter?
I dont want to take sides so there just as ridiculous as each other.
you look the part a true english gentleman excellent
Mr. May you have reached rock bottom! You from all people talking about hair? The man who have invented the possibility to use existing technology for new purposes (like tampons for cleaning twincam engines) now talking about hair products. If I am not totally wrong there is somehow woman involved… Please get your head working man.
You where supposed to be the man of the three of you… Please in the future leave the feminine stuff for Hamster and lets go for a pint.
I guess it all depends on what kind of lifestyle you want to lead. The heterosexual life, or the metrosexual life that you seem to think Hammond has come out to.
Thank god!
at last!
About time; it made you look like a dork.
the stig isnt an android – hes an alien who was dropped at the top gear test track at birth – thats y he thinks japan is a fictional place lol
i agree with what people r sayin why is a car program talkin about hair – have the top gear lads turned into girls or something
You have to be kidding! Hammond’s hair rocks! I like it long and short, and he has the best idea of style by far out of the three of you. And your hair used to look like a tramp, so good on you for getting it cut
But seriously, knowing you it can’t be that much better short. Don’t take it out on Hammond, Jeremy’s hair is pretty awwful too…
Im sorry James, you do look like a spaniel.
But you have a nice personality.
I think Richard’s hair is the best, it suits him really well, yours…well….i think long hair suits you..better than short hair that is…
Neither of your hair is perticularly RIDICULOUS but can be quite…amusing at times. Jeremy’s hair is most ridiculous…if you can call it hair!
(P.S. I think you’re great really! lol)
Oh, by the way, just asked my mum what she thinks and she said ‘James May’ straight away in the voice that makes you feel stupid for asking an obviius question. Then when I said you’d had a haircut she shook her head and walked away. (she doesn’t really care about Top gear, in fact she hates how obsessed I am with it
)
James….. is the question really to do with the cut of the hair? Or are you just trying to divert our attention from the obvious colour changes that seem to happen every now and again??
The cute grey streaks appear and disappear intermediately, and on Big Ideas there is a definite line about 5 inches from the top of your head where one colour finishes and the salt ‘n’ pepper begins…….. hmmmmm.
Dye it blue & have done with it
Don’t cut your hair, James, its better than hedgehog hammond and pubic Jeremy. Stand your ground and keep your hair the way we like it!
What everyone else said on this pathetic public page is a load of crap! I bet Hammond bribed them!
looks like its just me who LIKES hammonds hair…
I think both your hair,James and Richards are fine what ever style you have.will people please leave the hamsters hair alone wether he uses hair products or not whats wrong in a man keeping himself well groomed,it makes Richard look sexier then ever,if thats at all possible and for Jezza hes the Jezza we love no matter what little hair he has,he”s still my kind of man.
Sorry James,but its got to be a draw because i cant choose,i love all three of you.
Okay so I’m firstly going to say why did you give into the pressure…but now you have all I can do is give a dissaproving look and say it will grow back. On the whole ridiculousness debate I would have to say that I prefer Richard’s hair – it’s gorgeous – there’s nothing wrong with using hair products
. That’s how we know Richard. We know Jeremy for his pre-afro scrotum hair and you for your ability to have your own style. I think when your hair is really long you have the whole Justin Lee Collins thing going on, and when it’s really short – well I’m not sure. But that’s the amazing thing about hair…it grows!
And since we are on the subject of hair. Does The Stig have any?
Best Wishes, Amy x.
I think Hammond ( the adorable one) has the best hair out of all of u cause it’s kl xxx
:p
Yeah, i’m gonna go ahead and agree with that. If i had to liken each of hairs to a car…your, james, would probably end up being a Jaguar SS100 (due to the flowly lines of the car and being overly big, kinda of like how it is in your face.) Richard’s, lately with all the certain “Spikiness” and “Spunk” I would liken to the new Trucks powered by the traditional Chevy 350 Motor, developed so many years ago. It’s…versatile…uses up a lot of “product” (if I may liken gas mileage to hair-product), and it doesn’t help cover up the fact that its getting old, but hey, it gets the job done (Hammond’s married, nevermind. It wouldn’t matter anyways, because outside of the camera, women wouldn’t normally look downwards that far.) Jeremys…I would have to say the closest thing would probably be, specifically, a 1985-1990 Honda Civic. All the body parts rust off (Think balding), have many, many, miles, use almost no product at all (which, would be my guess most episodes Jeremy), but the car continues to work relentlessly, almost beyond belief. Interesting topic Captain Slow.
you think ur hair was bad my uncles hair is like henry winklers hair in happy days and he wont get it cut
i think your hair was terrible so i am very glad you had it cut properly but since your just the other on i go for your hair the most ridiculous but if u post a picture it might change my mind + the bit about jezza is correct
I love Richards hair, its the best!!
James’ hair is the best. Richard’s is fake looking.
Defintiley Richards Hair, its very sexy
I agree with the critics. Im sorry, but Richard will aalways be the sexiest out of you 3.

Haylz, Australia
See, now, you were already winning before you got your hair cut. Ridiculousness in men’s hair is rated accord to effort, not the results. The more effort is put into the hairdo, the more ridiculous it must logically be. Regardless of the style, semi-regular trims to maintain it are sufficient, any more effort than that is unnecessary. Anyone going to the extent of routinely using “product” is entering the realm of the metrosexual, which is perfectly acceptable for those who are that way inclined, but also somewhat ridiculous.
On the basis of this scale of ridiculousness, Jeremy’s scrotal fuzz is by far the least ridiculous. I can’t imagine he even needs to brush it, just push it all back on top of his head. Of course, it’s still the most disturbing in appearance, but it requires very little effort to maintain.
I’d say Hammond still has the more ridiculous hair, but really, you just had your hair cut because someone criticised it, and now you’re blogging about it. You might as well be a teenage girl! This could be seriously damaging to your reputation as the most manly man on Top Gear…
Using hair product is fine, just as long as it’s not all multi coloured like a Los Angeles traffic cop, or like some people I know, coconut oil.
Now this is fine, if you enjoy seeing people vomit from the horrible smell, or styling your hair in an upwards fashion like a Japanese manga cartoon. However, Richard Hammond is a human being so, unless your an American, coconut oil seems completely illogical.
Now James on the other hand, your long hair suited you down to the bone, it made you an individual, and gave the fashion industry the finger. But now that may be all gone, but we won’t really know until you post a picture. So until then I will just use my imagination.
What’s wrong with going to a hairdresser? What’s wrong with taking care of ones appearance? I’m sorry James, but I think that you have the most ridiculous hair. You could have kept the length though, just done something with it.
Its about bleeding time you got a haircut James, now topgear no longer sports 2 presenters and a toilet brush !!
Mr.May’s hair has character and suggests about it’s “owner” that he has indeed a mind of his own. Mr.Hammond’s do suggests he’s a mindless,metrosexual trend-slave who’s never had an original thought in his life. Whether or not hair gives an accurate description of the person wearing it I’m not so certain about. Mine makes me look like I’m James Hetfield’s personal fortune teller…
james may your hair is worse by a mile
Very much depends on the person. Some people like Clarkson suit his ‘type’ of hair. However other people do not suit the type of hair which should be stuck on to their wedding’s vegetable. However people like Hammond and myself, would look rediculous without any hair ‘products’ so we are therefore using it so we don’t look rediculous. If you do not use hair products on hair cuts which need products you are a complete berk.
James your hair is lovely. I probably prefer it long, but it looks great now too. Hammond’s hair suits him, but I couldn’t be doing with all those products personally. Kind of agree with you about Clarkson’s hair, although my hair is completely mad, so I shouldn’t really be comenting on this anyway!
Richards hair is so bad he had to whiten his teeth to take the attention away from his hair!
Has everyone else seen a picture I haven’t, because I don’t see how I can comment on it unless I’ve seen it. I thought James’ long hair suited him fine, but then I’m not really qualified to pass any sort of judgement, as my own hair has three basic states, Long, Shaved Off In A Snit, and Uncontrollable Mess While Growing Out Again. I did try going to a hairdresser once, in the vague hope she could make it less stupid, but it cost me £40 to be asked questions I didn’t understand and I came out looking pretty much exactly the same. I hate being female sometimes.
Leave Jeremy & his hair alone or there will be no more AHGs for you Mr May!!!
i think you both suit your own hairstyles really.
Does it matter?
If you still cant resolve it just agree to disagree.
So my 11 year old daughter, who is a big fan, saw this series’ first program and said “they cut their hair! They look like dorks!” While I would never stoop so low as to call anyone a dork (Jeremy doesn’t count on this post, right?) I would very much like it if you fellows left your hair a bit on the long side. This ole lady still likes the long hair.
The 11 year old daughter asks that I make the request that you give Daniel Radcliffe driving lessons on one of your shows. Just please make sure he has clothes on if you do!
Loving y’all on BBC America from Friendswood, Texas!
hm…. Yes I remember something that Jeremy complained about in that article about ‘celebrity’, with people paying too much attention to everyday things (for instance: a haircut). I haven’t taken the scissors to my locks for 7 1/2 months; would you like to write an article when i get it cut?
Hammond didn’t bribe me sabs, you’d know if he had
I don’t see how anyone can prefer James’ hair to Richards, Richards hair is amazing! he hasn’t had his teeth whitened by the way. He said so. And it is not ‘ridiculous’ to want to look good, so leave off him.
James, you need not worry about your hair. It’s defiantly not a ‘hair style’ like the Hamsters. His is very groomed and prissy, which of course James, we know is a bad thing, as it’s very effeminate. Please don’t change your lovely hair as I’m a closet James May fancier, and I like it just the way it is.
Samantha x
You look great!
I’m going to be very helpful and state that when Hamster unveiled his new hair, I nearly fell of my chair in a state of bedazzlement. It’s a lot better than his old hair (and I like the styled look anyway!) And by no means do you have the worst hair (your new hair suits you incredibly well, as another closet James May fancier I heartily approve). That particular trophy goes to Jeremy and his failure of an “afro”.
I luv hamsters hair and i dn’t care if it has hair products in it, most men straightn thier which is worring but also funny. james ur hair is lovely i like it its wild and natural and thats all u need. dw bout it besides a personality is better. Larz x
I have a special place that Jeremys hair should be….
Oh stop bickering – you all have lovely hair. Lovely in a crazy sense, though, but still!
Jezza’s hair is like… well… er… hmm. Well, you can’t actually describe Jezza’s hair. It’s… different. Interesting…
But I like your hair. It’s very cool. I couldn’t imagine your hair any other way. It’s very ‘James May’. Yes, that’s how I’d describe that haircut, because it could only suit you and no-one else.
And then Richard’s hair – I love it! I know people are all like ‘oh Richard’s hair is ridiculous, he needs to get it cut blahblahblah…’ but actually I quite like it. Fluffyness! *ahem*
Love you, Jamz – update soon!

I agree, Captain. Hammond looks like he’s trying far too hard with that mop of his to look like a teenager.
No offence, but I’m pretty sure a ‘real man’ doesn’t talk about his hair, especially to this extent
sorry, but you did bring it up
I think yours is more ridiculous looking but the fact that Hammond puts more product in it makes it more rediculous, but I guess it goes with the rest of his image, whitening his teeth and all!
well with his hair and teath whitining routine i guess richard gets up way earlier than anyone else
Believe it or not, the hair you all have now, suits you the best. I’ve been watching Top Gear for many years and think that the look and style you all have now looks best on you. And James, the way you wear your hair is just the way you look and Radio Times should find some other way of occupying themselves…..
Aah do not fear boys and girls. Unless James has decided to go again with the shorter hair then no doubt it will be back to its longness as it was by Christmas.
Er James reading about your hair argument and reading your most recent column is the real James still bound and gagged in Belgium and we’ve now got the honour of a James clone or Android? Or has your t’consumption had some strange sort of effect on you? Maybe the real James did succumb.
I havent seen you with short hair, but i think that after a while will everybody get used to it. But you shouldent do what everybody says if you not agree (sorry for my bad english, im 12 years old and from Norway.).
Heh, i kind of like Hammonds hair, looks good. Using hair.. products, doesn’t make it ridiculous.
You’re hilarious though James! very well written
All I can say, and no offense meant by this comment, the hair matches the clothes.
Who cares, the cars are awesome, and the TG boys THE best presenters currently on telly (and for a long time to come). If you want to see bad hair, and zero speaking capability, watch Bush. Whatever that means.
Richards is the worst
Thats the end of it
How can you be so mean about hammond’s hair? Its fantastic! He is the only one with any style – decent style that is.
Though well done James for getting yours cut – you can’t hold the position of most ridiculous hair any more
in 2 years or so clarkson wont have any hair. what he has now is mostly made up of metal shavings being pulled to his head by the magnetic force of idiocy.
oh also hammods hair is better than yours=)
Being a fellow ex-long hair person I know what torture long hair can be, so I can understand why you’d want to go get that cut, and I for one salute your decision. Really.
On the subject of ridiculousness, I think yours has always been the least prominent in that respect. Not necessarily the best looking, though that’s open for discussion I suppose, but definitely the least ridiculous.
And I’d think it’s even less so now that it’s shorter, though I’ll hold off judgment till I see how it looks.
I never pegged you as the sorta bloke that’d give a damn what people thought James, but still as you said you aren’t as bad as Hammond, he’s such a girl the amount of hair products that must go on his hair… But I’d have to see a photo of what your haircut looks like now to do any sort of comparison…
Manc Lass
I wonder what a hairy fish would look like? Just thought i’d share that.
I once had a hairy fish…. It was normal, then it got hairy, and then it died. It was sad.
Hey captain slow (only joking). Shame your not mentioning jeremy in this because this will just be so embarred and humiliated so it will be a chance to get your own back.
Sorry but I havn’t seen your new hair do, or hair don’t, so this message is pretty pointless
Loving the new show on bbc 2, bye x
Oh, also right now i’m watching topgear it’s the one where you lot try to buy a stylish 2door coupe for less than 1500 qid, the water on the lap test is funny! and of coarse im watching it on dave.
I think your cool dude
x
james may hair is actually, very james may kind of hair, so please don’t let anyone touch and cut that. i have wondered years, how to make that haristyle.. cock!
True motorheads above: 145 comments on James May’s hair. How many comments are there on, say, Fuji’s first practice? Eighteen.
i think Mr May has de worse hair but Mr Hammond does use a lot of stuff on his hair and it looks like Mr Clarkson has a patatoe 4 hair lol but i think Mr May has de worst hair
xxxorangexxx
James your hair is great because it’s so bland its fantastic. Richard’s is just ridiculous. He probley uses four or five differnet ‘products’ and then straightens it with hair straightners. I totally agree that Richard’s is more ridiculous
P.S. Despite this, Jezza hair is the best
being ginger i shall reserve judgement!
na sod it, you all have shit hair i wouldn’t swap with any of ya for the world. top show tho.
Keep the Asia (Classic Rock Band) style hairdo James!
Consider perhaps a few blond highlights on the side ala Hammond…who’s got to bring back the Rod Stewart look soon.
i like hammonds hair!! it suits him!!! slightly ostentatious but cool!! at least its styled HAMMOND WINS!
Honestly, even before you cut your hair James, it was not the most ridiculous – in fact I liked it because it suited you.
I truly struggled though to focus on the content of the last series whilst constantly being distracted by Hammond’s ridiculous mop. It really does make him look like a ten year old trying to be a man rather than the hair of the first few series (i.e. before it got out of control) which still made him look like a short man (particularly next to Clarkson), but a man nonetheless.
Please, someone confiscate Hammond’s hair products and chop of his hair while he’s sleeping so we can get back to the more important stuff!
Noooo!
James, am heartbroken you have cut said hair!
It was not ridiculous, I always thought it was rather cute…..
I happen to enjoy your hair “style”…..”look”!Don’t let those bores preasure you into changing it. Let’s face it…..some people can appreciate a good head of hair, and others, well, they need only avoid mirrors.
Bring Top Gear back to the US; not all of us are mean red-necks. I live in Galveston, TX, and we’ve just been host to Hurricane IKE. We’re very welcoming of great hair.
You guys make me laugh, and the car stuff is fun too!
Oi!…..I love Richard’s hair. Then I also love James’s hair. each of your hairstyles suit your faces/personalities/sense of humours. Jeremy, oh is it worth it, why bother? But Richard gets my vote for most ridiculous hair, but also the nicest. He could change his hair and cut it all off and it would still look great, but James, dont go there, long hair is your speciality. Speaking of hair…Im having a haircut today..going for a short blonde bob. but ignore me, keep your hair long lads.
Go James! but does it really matter? lets just say you have the same length hair…. and leave it at that!
ps- love the show!!!!!
oh but your hair was you!
personally im a lover of gentlemen with the longer hair not really long (hammonds is ideal!)
but think back to hammond with short hair he looked 12! and did nothing for me now well im a little hooked on the long haired fellow
its a shame some ponces comment meant the loss of your hair shame on him!
And im guessing the chap who commented is just jelouse you can still grow such a mane
LONG LIVE LONG HAIR!!
(donot allow hammond to cut his please im enjoying this crush!)
Everyone I know loves and laughs at your hair and I think it adds to the overall humor of the show.
Who cares about hair.. as long as you go on doing the programme..
Ah just watching the episode with your mums, maybe Hammond has a valid point. During that episode Jezza found some of Hammond’s old publicity photos and you both were ridiculing his hair with you making reference to him looking like Dogtagnon. So there. We could all probably say that with him now saying about you having bad hair that you are now both even.
Anyway. Hope that you boys have been having fun and a great time in Vietnam.
Hamster has the best hair by infinity miles!!!!!!!!!! U suck James!!!!!!
C Ya l8r!
i think james’ hair looks lovely on him
Just reading these comments made me wonder if perhaps James decided for himself that with going to Vietnam for a Top Gear shoot it might be wise to have it cut.
He would have been very uncomfortable, personally I can’t see James wanting to have worn a headband to hold it back or putting it in a ponytail.
Sense prevails and besides it will grow and in better condition too. Not that is was in bad condition before.
white´s the new black, bald the new blonde and as far as ridiculousness goes nothing beats a man worried about his hair;) as u like it james, it´s cool !
oh and products are sub zero 
THANK GOD !
he looked ridiculous in that hair of he’s
so now he mite get some more fans
I know I’ve already commented, but I have now actually read through a few posts and whilst completely off topic I’d just like to tell people this:
Please check your god damned spelling before clicking “submit comment”. Otherwise I (and I assume others also) shall simply ignore your comment because clearly someone who cannot comprehend simple spelling let alone grammar, can’t be intelligent to have a worthwhile opinion anyway.
If you want to be taken at least a little seriously then please just check your spelling – that’s all.
And to confirm I’m not a stuffy old Headmaster or the like, I’m actually a 21 year old blonde girl – the stereotype fortunately doesn’t extend to a poor education though, so please listen and heed my words of advice.
I think there was nothing wrong with James’ hair. Richards is ok but i have always said that a man should never take longer than a women to do his hair and Richards looks like it takes a while. I liked you hair the way it was. And i think Richard should go back to the short hair it suited him better. Love the show x
Well finally you get that mop you call hair cut. Talk about a throw back to the 60’s. It certainly can be related to the drive in the TR6 you did recently I guess. Just that time stood still.
Great to hear TG is coming back on soon cos I really hate the TG Australia. It’s quite pathetic really.
Cheers
Jimmy
OMG James May had his hair cut, so we’re gonna expect his hair to look the one in series 2…..
Well if I’m honest, Hammond looks far more ridiculous to me. Your hair is, well, colmbed, full stop.
his hair has all kinds of ridiculous stringy pieces and all kinds of spikes sticking out of it. it looked far better before series 10.
richards hair is just the most stupidest thing i ever saw
who gives a shit.
go normal ppl, oh and ticsy;) get a life LUV..
it really depends on what your hair actually looks like, Doesn’t it?
james, love you whatever the hairstyle xxx
Even though Hampster uses more hair-care products in a week that I’ll probably use in my entire life (this coming from an 18 year-old female), it doesn’t look ridiculous. Actually, it suits him and is kinda cute. In a metro kinda way.
James, about time you cut your hair. It looks better the length it is and i8t also makes you look younger. I won’t even GO into the issue of Jeremy’s hair.
Hurry up and start the new season so I can get away from the cringe-worthy abomonation that is Top Gear: Australia. PLEASE!!!
What was wrong with how tou looked before? No one should change because of someone does not like it
I would just like to say that no matter who has what hairstyle, the show is fantastic. Love it!
I must say I preferred Hammond’s hair short and I prefer James’ hair long. Clarkson will just have to let nature take its course! I love them all!
My daughter says I have to say ‘there is nothing ridiculous about Richard’s hair’ James. Sorry about that.
There is nothing ridiculous about a man grooming himself well. Nor is there any shame in going to the barber, in fact, were I able to source a good Victorian Barber, I’d never have to go to my rather expensive hair ’stylist’. Unfortunately, Vicotian barbers are in short supply, and I detest bad hair cuts. Hullo Jeremy!
Vicotian sounds like a real word… Sorry, my spelling machine broke.
sorry james your hair style only just beats clarkson’s ……..in fact your whole style only just beats his. richard wins by a mile
Yes, James’ hair looked awful but it
sort of suits him. It’s what makes him so great to watch, and so do his horrid shirts and the fact that somethimes he hasn’t got a clue what’s going on. And his sense of humor.
Did you know my initials are short for Chlorine in the periodic table?
Anyway, getting back to the point, I really don’t care either way, I just watch your show for the fun and the pointless arguments that are often similar to mine.
And I agree with… someone at the top of this page, STOP MAKING REFERENCES TO YOUR NETHERLANDS, WE DON’T REALLY WANT TO KNOW. Well, at least, I don’t, some perv out there might, I don’t know.
I’ve got to agree with other TG fans’ comments that you ,out of Jeremy and Richard, would be the last to crumble under the pressure and remarks of the media!
I reckon you should go back to your presenting behind a curtains!
Long live funky & ridiculous hair x x
re: james’ hair.
i totaly agree that hamster has the most rediculous hair, i call him the catalogue kid.
keep it real lads
What would not exspect a Radio Times man to understand anything about hair and motoring shows! So you should have kept your hair a birst nest, was great watching to see if u had baby birds nesting in it! Not like you drive fast nuff to blow them out! He He, Just kidding! But yeah liked your long hair
james your hair is lovely as are you, Richard’s hair is really, really silly!!
James, Pleeese grow your hair back, It really did look better and I don’t like men with long hair as a rule! Hammond’s hair in the last series looked like he had been dragged through a hedge backwards, and Clarkson well words fail me except ” electric, socket, wet and finger!”
Oh and please no more refernces to Clarkson’s scrotum; it’s not a pleasent thought, and I am reminded of a comment my hubby made during the episode where you had to get to the lap dancing club, (clue: it involved Clarkson working up a sweat and other activites he could do to achieve this ewwwwwww….)
Shut up May. What has hair got to do with cars?
Your hair looks like it caught fire and someone tried to put it out with a lawn mower.
i think that jeremy has had the worst hair of all i like your hair long
keep it james
No way! Richard has awesome hair, its sexy!
James, have you started to use a hairdrier? Or joined an Osmonds tribute band? Whichever, your new cut DOES look tidier.
Richard’s hair looks better short, and Jezza’s is beyond redemption.
As for ‘hair ridiculousness’, I have to award the gong to your good self. Sorry…
James you have lovley hair, and yes hammond seriously needs to sort his out, whats going on with his hair at the min? I bet he sends 90% of his income on hair product, and gives the make up lady on top gear headaches lol!
Who ever said that James’s hair is stupid, must go for an IQ test! (Just joking) I thought James was super sexy with long-ish hair and he propably still is with short ones. Guese I’ll have to wait and see. Hamster’s hair is definetly the most ridiculous. Imagine that: a short bloke with risiculous hair… As for Jeremy…well…
Oh James, that’s so very sad. I adored your hair! It made you incredibly appealing. Pretty product petrolheads are two a dozen, some of us like our boys with the freshly woken, unkept look. I hope it makes a reappearance.
VanderDB9 <<< dont say hammond should get his hair cut off
he has nice hair
but soz james dont no which one has more riduculous hair as i have not seen your new hair cut
but will on the 31st
(BTW not a stalker going to top gear live
lol) (Y)
TO ANYBODY WHO THOUGHT I WAS !!
I think jeremy’s hair isn’t all that bad. It’s just on different angles, he has an island on his head and the sea is his hair.
Hammond does look like he takes longer to do. Next time, time how long it takes for him to do his hair. Then you can really, truly tease him for taking so long.
James, leave your hair alone! It makes you look a little more manly. At least in my opinion!
vic
Sorry to say that I think it will be a while before we see the new show here in the US on BBC America. I will have to keep checking here to see how short it is. I was crushed to hear that you cut it. I usually do not care for long hair, but I really liked yours the way it was! I will have wait to see the “New You” (so sad).
I do have to say that Richard will always be a doll no matter what he does….Sorry.
You definitely have the most ridiculous haircut simply by virtue of the fact that it looks like a labrador has parked itself on your head
‘hair like that should never have grown on his head. It should be on his scrotum.’
Meow, James haha
james you should have left your hair the way it was, you really suited it. As hammond’s hair don’t get me bloody started, woundn’t be surprised if the man used ghd straighteners on his hair.
Well Philippa, you seem to have a pretty obsessive interest in hammond’s hair to have decided which straighteners you think he uses (which i doubt he uses any) leave off it, james’ is the worst. Hammond’s is waaay better, it rocks!
whats wrong with ‘product’
Watching a clip from the Blokeishness Series 2 episode and this classic quote:
“I’m sorry, I’m gonna have to stop you there, I hate to interrupt, but this is quite honestly the biggest load of limp-wristed twaddle I’ve ever heard in all my five weeks in television. These two… these two are not men, okay? This one, Richard Hammond, every morning, sticks his head in a bucket of hair product…”
“I’m sorry, I’m gonna have to stop you there, I hate to interrupt, but this is quite honestly the biggest load of limp-wristed twaddle I’ve ever heard in all my five weeks in television. These two… these two are not men, okay? This one, Richard Hammond, every morning, sticks his head in a bucket of hair product…”
Now that made me a laugh. At the end of the day you all look like slightly demented over grown hedgehogs. It’s no bad thing. But trying to ask who has the worst hair is akin to asking who is your favourite Big Brother contestant. There can never be a ‘good’ answer. Don’t fret it. You have all driven a Veyron, we have not.
James you rule, I think Hammond is a poof and he should wipe that lip gloss of and throw out the gel. He is most certainly ridiculous.
Long live James’ pink and purple stripy number!
i think james still will have the most rediclous hair on there or maybey jeramy
and thats and to it.
http://topgearsuperfans.b logspot.com/
Hammonds hair is awesome and I think James’s hair used to be ridiculas but amusing but I dont know what it looks like now so i dont know. Jeremy’s hair shouldn’t be show on t.v.
JAMES, YOUR HAIR WASN’T THEAT BAD, BUT JEREMY’S WAS! HAMMOND’S HAIR WAS COOL THOUGH, IT REALLY SUITED HIM.
LOVE THE SHOW, IT’S GREAT! I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THE NEW SERIES!
I’ve just had a look at the new haircut, and I think it looks lovely, though you shouldn’t let other people influence how you have your hair, I know from experience!!! Your hair looks lovely long or short, and I can see I’m not alone in saying that.
Yours will always be the best haircut on Top Gear, no matter what ‘pretty boy’ and ’scrotum features’ do to their hair, so don’t worry, we will always love ya!!
You had a cooler hair when it was long, James. I think Hammond’s hair is cool, but if he spends a lot of time in the hairdresser and stuff, I’d surely go for you, May. I prefered how you looked in the past. But, hey, I’m not James May. Cheers.
any man’s hair cut costing more than £5 and taking longer than 5mins is, in my humble opinion crossing into the styling and hair straightners zone. Conincidentally, the hair cut works out at £1 per min, so in real terms the “barber” is on an above average return.
Hammonds hair is styled rather than cut and matches his whitened teeth! James is correct about Jeremy’s hair it is decidedly pubic but better than the early 90’s afro he used to have.
James,
It’s your hair, so it’s your choice.
However… I think the Beethoven look suits you the most.
p.s. If every one started writing that your legs were too long, would you consider some drastic surgery???
why did he cut his hair? Sure it was ridiculous but it at least had style I am disappointed in James, his old hair made him look good in a roller. That look suited him very well. Richard still has the best hair though, and yes jeremys hair does look like it belongs on his genitalia.
Oh and James (if you are reading this) your shorter hair does not make you look like you have consumption or any iradicated disease for that matter. Personally I think it makes you look younger. But others might not agree.
James, you shouldn’t badmouth Jeremy’s hair. The fact that he’s got less hair on his head is because he’s got more testosterone. So that makes him the manliest presenter on this show!
So purely in terms of manliness (which is the only proper way to compare hair), Jeremy comes first, then Richard, then you. Although I’m in conflict on the order for second and third place …
hammonds hair is wonderful so why r u all pickin on him. james, i dont like ur hair go 2 a hairdresser thell make it better (hopefuly). jeremy, r u ok after the crash? ur obsest with scrotums get obsest with sumat else
JAMES, i cant berlive you got your hair cut on what someone said, thats unlike you, but its your choice what you do with your hair and im sure it will look just as nice as before. But on the subject of Richards hair, its lovly and will always be the nicest out of you three. Anyway Jeremys hair isnt that bad really, yes it wounlnt suit anyone else but it dose suit him, just my personal opinion by the way!
yes james you did need a hair cut, i think you are nice,but you will be nicer with shorter hair, X
i agree you desperately needed a hair cut mate
James,i thing you should cut your hair
james old chap I do so agree,your hair cut should be at a barber’s as we all know.But why oh why were you towing that awful old caravan behind your lovely roller at the Worcester beer festival.I only wish I had a Video camera when you drove the bloody caravan up the huge concrete bollard thing, or were you that sozzled on camra’s finest you did not notice.Do us all a favour and blow the caravan thing up!!!
Freak,
I think that James would rather forget his recent c’van experience. I don’t think it was a particularly great one.
Oh James….. noooooooo….. buddy… why did you….how could you? I loved the hair before the cut. The good thing with hair though is that it will grow back… so it’s alright…. the hair cut though… you kinda look like some hollywood yuppie…. It’s kinda disturbing considering how you are in my opinion the coolest of the 3 on the show.
BWAHAHA I love your remark on Jeremy’s hair. Regarding Hamster’s hair – it looks like a Hamster ate it and spat it back out.
“It should be on his scrotum.”
You owe me a new keyboard and a fresh cup of coffee.
OH James !!! please dont give into the suits if they dont like your hair..tuff!
Next time cut it because you want to , you shouldent care what people think , your fine just the way you are…I think I’ll go round there and tell them what for.
Keep your hair long your fine just theway you are and I wouoldent change you for anyone.
i disagree, i use product, my father does not, i spend 30 seconds doing making my hair presentable, he spends a hell of a lot longer combing it. its a modern world with modern people and even more modern cars. so, those of you with a desire to run a dirty comb through a greasy bonce of ‘hair’ that even the most suicidle barber would surely not touch,go back to the 1800’s, its a hammond time!
i also do not proof read my own rantings.
It’s about time you got your hair cut you long-haired layabouts! Hammond looks like a ballerina and needs a razor taken to it. May looks like a shiela, pure and simple.
Harden up princess and stop worrying about what the world thinks of your hair!
The only one of you that doesn’t look like a poof is Clarkson. Pity he’s got a head like a dropped pie!
By the way James, some aussie men have Brazillian waxes ,which gives them bald scrotums.thought you should know that.
How can I comment on your hair if I don’t see a picture?
hi my name is Steven and im 12. i was thinking of top gear and i wanted to help you guys in the show
buy telling you lot are are great and funny but i want the stig to show his real face and if not.i want top gear and fith gear to have a drag race a drift race and a drag race and you lot decide what cars you want then i think loads of viewers will be watching bbc 2 on top gear come on top gear. thanks
i lioke topgear and hammond not jezza or the other lady, cant w8t till new series!!
None of you have got really ridiculous hair, but if you wanted to get into it, you could always do a Phil Specter thing.I’d find that rather entertaining.
James I have been bullied for over a decade, I rarely wash and don’t comb my hair, however the only time I got any jib about my appearance or smell was because I had cut it or used spray, hence hammonds hair is clearly the most ridiculous and likely to get him jip, also I have noticed on challenges that clarkson and hammond will hinder your progress by doing something dangerous and silly and get a kick out of it.
This I class as happy slapping bullying and I feel for you, however I think it would be best all round, if you got your own back during a challenge.
Personally I think that your hair suited your personality Mr May. Christ only knows how many products Hammond uses on his… probably keeps Paul Mitchell afloat in the credit crunch all on his own. Btw, did Jezza choose TG dog because their hairstyles complimented each other?
Finally, its your hair May. Wear it proudly.
i luv richards hair. xxxxxxxxxx and i think its cute xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
jemery;s hair is the worest.
I doubt James has ever had the worst hair ever on Top Gear. I found an old pic of Clarkson online and had a little fun with it. Posted the links in the TopGear US forums… enjoy.
http://www.topgear.com/us /forums/viewthread/40/
James you’re lovely!!! but…Ummmmmmmmm Hammond is Soooo sexy!! I want eat his face

WHO CARES BUT I’M NOT SURE ABOUT HAMSTERS GELLED HAIR!
i don’t really think that ant of you look ridiculous and i’m not bothered how they look aslong as tey’re good presenters
I agree with the 2 messages above this.
is it a fashion show or a THE best car show ever shown on tv? if you drive a really cool car it doesn’t matter what you look alike. or does it? ok then replace the 3 masters with
- angelina jolie
- natalie portman
& eva longoria
for 1 evening. I bet the audience won’t spot the difference
I bet you never realised what a response you would get to a hair related question!
James, your sensitive hair is fabulous as it is, though better now its trimmed a bit. Just don’t go for the short back & sides of old please. I have it on good authority from my mate Mike who worked with you on Autocar mag that you were quiet and unassuming. So letting the barnet grow a bit has definately brought out your more eccentric and endearing side.
Long may the hair live on!
Richard’s hair is ridiculous, and Jezza’s, well, I think the Big Book of Top Gear said it all- to get the Jezza look sellotape some pubes to your forehead!
I must say that your whole team are fantastic. I dont have to watch girly things on Sunday any more. One more thing though….. Can you tell the Hamster to stop wearing that leather jacket and that silly neckless.
Thank you very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very much….
James, your hair and I both feel betrayed. Your luxurious mop is half of you! And your pink and purple rugby shirt (which, by the way, I’m thinking of starting a fanclub for) is the other half. I shall tut and shake my head every time you’re onscreen until you grow it back. Plus, it’s going to mess up the continuity for this series…
Jeremy’s whole head is rather scrotum-esque really, and Hammond…..I think his hair is the sixth member of Girls Aloud.
Who said Clarkson had a head with pubic hair on it – isn’t he just one large member?
I like James Hair, he looks like a former Rock Star HEHEHE. And about Jeremy’s Hair, I almost died herer roling On the Floor Laughing!!! James is funny like no other.
Just seen a photo of your haircut on this website , its like the one you had in your 30s , youll look good know matter what James.
But please ignore people who mock your hair only you should care and only you should change if you want to , but your fine just the way you are.
xxx
Oh dear, you know what happened to Sampson !!
I like Richard’s hair!!!!! And it don’t really matter if men go to hairdressers cus i know men hu go to my hairdressers!!!!! I like your hair too James don’t worry yourself!!!!

James either cut your hair ore or grow it don’t keep it in the middle! But Hammonds hair makes him look like a cocker spaniel. Hmmmmmmm but which is more ridiculous … James’.
You will never have proper hair because you THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH. Don’t fanny around with barbers, shave it off or go Robert Plant with it. And put your foot down. Love n hugs dear.
And I do wish you lot wood lern to spel proply its verry noyin speshly wen we all mayk such a neffot for yous.
Last time I didn’t have an opinion on hair, but since I’ve had a holiday from my insane parents, I have realised that the issue is not your hair, that’s just natural chemical free hair, it’s not clarkson’s either as he’ll be bald soon. Richard used to look cool and bondesque but since the accident he’s let his hair go and now it looks like a starfish wig, I mean before then he had a promising carrer across many channels, now he only has topgear and looks like dudley moore.
All bloody three of you need a good haircut, get yourself back out with the Army and get one of our haircuts….hee hee
james would look stupid without mop hair…
hammond looks better in shorter hair hehe,
and the scrotum joke? i don’t tend to look at other mens scrotums everyday.
Noooooooooooo! James, you NEED long hair – I can’t believe you have bowed to conformity! When I watch Dave and see you with shorter hair from years back it’s just not right. I like your hair long and natural. It’s just right for a man who appreciates a jumper and a good shed. As for Hammond’s hair… it smacks of impending mid-life crisis and an attempt to remain “boyish”. That and the leather necklace mean he now looks scarily like my dad…
Leave Clarkson alone – he is who he is because of his hair.
yay i like hamsters hair!!!!! it suits him- james ur hair rules!!!
Get a Mohawk and stand up for yourself.
i liked you hair long it made you look different from the others
but i am glad your back i missed top gear loads
xx
hairs hair.. as long as you haven’t got so much of the damn stuff it makes you crash, then F**K it!
i totally agree with you there, Mr May. I think Hammonds hair has taken a dramatic turn for the worst. He was known as Hamster, because of the way he looked, now he just looks like a brush-head on the end of a short stick with cowboy boots. Jeremy, however, will have to get the product, you see on the advertisement page in ‘The Sun’ newspaper, ‘Grow Your Hair Back Cream’. And James you need to grow your hair back, its just the way it is supposed to be!
thanks

Hammond’s hair’s worse.
James May, you are a god. (Phwoarrrrrrrr.)
Why did you have to go and mess about with your perfect ‘just-shagged’ hair?
JoJo
LOL……..
We’ll miss that “Scooby-Doo” hairstyle…
And believe me…don’t you think Richard might be a little bit jealous?
You’re one of the rare few men that can look good with both long or short hair – although for the long hair I personally preferred the soft tousled look rather than the wilder shaggy look. And not all men can claim to still have a full barnet in their mid-forties – Jezza’s hair gave up the ghost somewhere in his thirties, (probably all that wild living). Hamster’s hair’s getting a bit too wild and maybe I prefer him with short hair now.
Sorry James but Richards hair is definitely the best – which means that yours would have to be classed as being the ridiculous hair – although I do like yours and I did notice you had it cut at MPH Show. However, Im afraid the lovely Richard has the best hair. Please tell him to never ever change it from how it is now – it’s fab and makes him look even more fetching than his short hair did!!!
I think hammonds hair is compatible with a trolls hair…
But the person with the best hair on Top Gear have to be The Stig.
James, you both look fabulous! Your new ‘do’ is lovely and tousled and makes you look more cheery. Hammond is just beautiful either way!!
I think longish hair on a man (not a greasy rat’s tail) is rather fetching. Softens the features and makes you appear younger.
james’s hair is much improved for the cut theirs a bit of a debate in our household about richard’s I like it but my husband thinks it’s to long were still deciding I like it though
James, I think your hair looks fine, although I did like it before. I have to say that my husband, my two boys, who are 8 and 10, and I had a bit of a snigger at Richard, not at his hair, but at the fact that he tucked his shirt into his jeans! He He!!! It did give the overall impression of shortness. I know Richard is quite short but please don’t let him go out in jeans all tucked in again!!
Thank you. (Great 1st show by the way. Very very funny)
Hammonds is a thousand times more ridiculous.
FACT.
i have to say i am loving hammonds hair so sorry james yours is worse, looks a bit like it belongs on a dulux dog
james, you will always have the best(and least ridiculous) hair
just as hammond will remain to be the most gorgeous man to ever grace the earth
anyway, i heard you went to a spaniel groomer… not a barber…
Let it grow n flow James! If it aint broke then it dont need fixing! Hamster, however, lovely fella but bit of a tart! LOL!
I’ve thought about this for a long time and after Sunday’s episode I have come to the conclusion that Richard does have the edge in the ridiculous hair competition.
However, there are more ridiculous hairstyles in existence – the ponytail combined with male pattern baldness, the mullet and the combover to name but three. All of these would be illegal in Abi’s Britain.
It pains me (and I mean actual physical pain) to say a bad word about Hammond (who I am a bit in love with) but I have to say that his hair this week was ridiculous. It looks much better with less product. James I think I have to agree with you.
I can’t believe I’m taking your side over Hammonds – I think I need to go and have a lie down.
I think Hammond should have a number 2, only trouble is, it would reduce his stature by half!
who ever insults hammond’s hair obviously has a Y chromosome he’s gorgeous
mr may: leave your hair alone we like it how it is!!!
and jezza’s hair could be a lot worse did anyone watch motorworld? oh my days…
Hahahahahahahaha all the way from Oz. I’ve been wondering when such a discussion would arise.
James your hair looks great on you. Not ridiculous at all. Just a bit girly when you let it get too long. Much better when we can see your face.
Hammonds hair IS ridiculous. Come on – way too long, too much product, over the top and trying too hard…to look young/cool???
You have to feel sorry for Jezza as having curly hair is somewhat of a curse and it’s completely un-’dressable’.
Tell us James, do YOU like your hair cut? I bet 6 years ago you never thought your looks would be up for global discussion ;0)
James, I prefer the new hairstyle to the old one, even though the long haired look suited you. You look gorgeous either way. And you definitely don’t have the most ridiculous haircut, Hammond has. His hair is too long and it doesn’t suit him. I think he was secretly envious of your long locks and that’s why he decided to grow his hair.
But, what I’d like to know is why did you decide to have your hair cut ? I hope it wasn’t because of what that Radio Times man said. You shouldn’t be pressurised into doing something just because someone else tells you it’s the right thing to do.
i don’t think that you or hammond hae the worst hair, i think that it is jeramy with the grey hair and the bald patches [he could of at least made an effort and got a comb over or had hair surgery at least]
tsjlfhj,wqhukfh
soz i didnt notice i’d spelt some words wrong here is what it should say

JAMES YOUR HAIR STYLE IS GAY!!!!!
i like richards longer hair but then again i like long hair so id have to say james sorry mate
James, I think your hair looks great!!! The short hair is much better, it defines your face nicely.
Hammond’s hair unfortunately is a different matter, it’s AWFUL!!!! I think he should get it cut as it looks like he’s put his hand into a plug socket.
And Jeremy, well he’s just Jeremy.
Having seen the new series, i am thinking about taking back what I said earlier, if Hamsters hair doesnt improve soon, then i think you may have been right james…
Having had all my life hair that has attracted all manner of negative adjectives, i must say that having ridiculous hair is not something to be ashamed of.
However Hammond ‘wins’ hands down and owing to Jeremy’s unfortunate curls (which now are all i notice thanks to you) you have the most normal hair of all. Although this is relative, frankly you’re all messed up up top.
ta ta
Hammond wins most ridiculous.
I personally prefer the “curtain” look… on you that is.
Hammond obviously wants to be you.
dear james
you drive like a posh person you need to let your self go and put your foot to the floor because you could do better (not)
Hammond is the best
Jeremy’s hair looks like an experiment gone wrong. It looked better as part of that awful,astra imposed omlett than on his head. He probably won’t have to live with it for that much longer though so the eyes of future generations watched TG will be saved. As for your hair James, you definetly suit it long to a degree but you look much better with the cut. Richard’s hair in my opinion looks fab longer, he looks mature in which case his hair is the most ridiculous as hair isn’t supposed to tell lies.
I love Richard’s hair
I Think Also Think Richard’s Hair Is Great Did You See It On Sunday?
Wooow Hawwwt Or wOT!!!!
lol i like jamesys’s hair too.
I remain convinced that my dad’s barber is a serial murderer. Perhaps you have been going to the same guy?
Your hair is utterly sexy! Don’t let people take the mickey out of you!
Hair issues. I usually use hair extensions as my hair is truely horribly short, even shorter than yours. You’re beautiful no matter what people say.
Kisses

oh god, you’re all evil! I love Hammond’s hair! He looks so cute and fluffy.
OMG!!!
Well u r right about jezza, but richard hammond has nice hair! actually, he has the… lets think either second or first best in the world. I have ppl who agree. well, 1 whos mental and in mu year.
Plz note, when I say mental mean it in a nice way. Sort of mental like me. Cpn slow hair, omg how did it get like that? Cut it or somone will put ya photo in a horror film.
Sorry James but Richards hair is much nicer than your’s BUT i agree that jezzas hair is quite mad!LOL
