Having stood face to face with Pellius my impression was this…
1. Comically bad dye job in person.
2. Even worse haircut in person. So bad no respectable hair club type place would let you out their door looking like that with one of their wigs.
Remember also, it is fucking humid as shit here in Hawaii, especially the side of Oahu where he lived compared to other parts of the same island. A wig would have been torturous, especially at the gym.
