PETER WRIGHT vowed to keep his wacky neon Mohawk until his hair falls out.
Snakebite has had his barnet coloured by his hairdresser wife Jo for every TV event since becoming a household name on the PDC circuit.

The 54-year-old Scotsman admits he created a “monster” with the now trademark look.
Yet initially, PDC bosses did not agree with his plea to wear multi-coloured trousers — which went against their rule that everyone should don black bottoms.
The two-time world darts champion, who is next on television at the UK Open in Somerset, said: “It’s like Jekyll and Hyde — like Snakebite’s my outer person.
“I’d like to be a confident, crazy guy.
“But people who know me off the dartboard know I’m pretty shy, don’t really talk to anyone and just keep to myself.
“But that person up there, that’s like putting war paint on and going to battle . “I asked Matt Porter (PDC chief executive) if we can wear crazy trousers and stuff like that.
“He said no. But Barry Hearn (PDC chairman) said yes! And that created Snakebite.
“I think the first time, because of my daughter, she coloured the hair.

Shocking images from the scene show the front window of a 395 bus shattered and a car wedged between hedges and a fence metres away.
One person died in the horror crash, confirmed the London Ambulance Service.
But it is not yet confirmed whether the person was a passenger in either the bus or the car or a pedestrian.
A nine-year-old child was among four other people rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
Their current condition is unknown at the time of writing.
It has not been confirmed if they were passengers on the bus, the car, waiting at the bus stop or a combination of these.
Cops and emergency services rushed to the scene with a major probe launched by the Metropolitan Police’s collision investigation unit.
Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage and are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or captured any footage to come forward with information.
Road closures and diversions were in effect in the area as investigators attempted to piece together the events leading up to the crash.
The A312 has been reopened – both towards Harrow and towards Northolt – but the probe continues.
Whitmore Road, which runs west from the A312 towards The Ridgeway and West Harrow – has also reopened.
London Ambulance Service said in a statement it was called to reports of a road traffic collision at 9.17pm yesterday.
It added: “We sent multiple resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, a paramedic in fast response car, an incident response officer, members of our hazardous area response team (HART) as well as command support vehicles.
“We also dispatched a trauma team from London’s Air Ambulance. We treated four patients at the scene before taking two patients to a major trauma centre and discharging one patient at the scene.”
“Very sadly, despite best efforts of our crews, one person was pronounced dead at the scene.”
