Hitler youth?

How do I ask for a HY without sounding like a fascist

>>6152681
can i has undercut pls

give something thats easy to style

>>6152684
i vould much appreciate ein ündercut

>>6152681
>>6152679

Undercut without blending round the fringe.

If they still don't understand then ask for short sides and disconnected top.

>>6152691

woah, since when can I get away with umlauts on 4chan?

>>6152681
I would much appreciate it if you gave me a haircut similar to the one that most 1940's national socialist German youths had.

>>6152676

Can OP's hair be achieved with product, or do I have to have godly hair genetics as well?

What do you think is the next big hair cut for men?

Assuming post HY and manbun. Unless your answer is really manbun.

Also, I want to grow my hair long, starting from what I currently have, which is essentially HY. What are some ways I can hide my disgusting hair while in the transitionary stage?

>>6152705
buzzcut

Does anyone ever come to you with a picture of zyzz and ask for that haircut?

>>6152676
I have extremely thick and heavy hair and it's really hard to style as I find most products too greasy or they just don't have enough hold. Could you recommend a decent product to achieve a toned down version of the style in your picture please?

Assuming you know how to make peoples heads look good: I have a big forehead and light blonde eyebrows which can look like they're not there at all in the right light, thus making my forehead look even bigger and making me look weird as fuck.

Because of this i've always rocked a fringe, but i wouldn't mind having a pushed back haircut, if it weren't for my eyebrows.

Is there a way around this, or a simple/easy way of dying eyebrows?
Also what colour should i dye them if my hair is gingery blonde

>>6152676

has anyone ever come in asking for a ridiculous haircut?

is cutting peoples hair gross sometimes?

>>6152703

It is mostly genetics. It's very rare you will find someone with hair like in the picture.
It is possible to get close to that though. If your hair is quite curly I recommend you lightly straighten it first.
If not, make sure hair is towel dried, and damp. Then apply a hair styling cream.

Don't be afraid to mix products. That's what professionals do. Add a little clay to give it a firm hold, and a little pomade for shine.

>>6152705

Honestly I think it's going to be something that throws back to the 80s. Hair is influenced by pop culture, 80s is in right now. Lots of volume, and shine. Something that stands out but not too crazy. But with a modern twist, lot's of sharp and precision blending to create a nice shape, and lot's of texture.
Something similar to pic related.

>>6152714

Research products for thick hair. Sadly you're never going to achieve it fully, but you can come close. Thin you hair out as much as you can.

Try using firm hold products, your clays, your fibres etc. Mix them with a product that adds shine and definition.

>>6152712
Once. It's pretty straight forward. Lots of cut throat razor work to texture the hair. Then straighten it. And throw in some matte product with a strong hold.

>>6152719

I've never done this myself, but I once knew hairdressers who tinted eyebrows.
I would have them a shade darker than your hair, without the ginger.

I would first try flicking your hair up into a quiff, but having it off to the side, gently brush along the surface of your hair to make it sit comfortably and hang over your forehead.

>>6152733
is there a solution for jewfros

>>6152722

I once had someone ask for a 1 round the sides with tribal patterns. With 5" liberty spikes on top. It took me a good hour and a half.

It can be. You often get people coming in with head lice and shit.
There are people that don't wash their hair for weeks and smell like vinegar.

Worst I had was a guy who didn't wash his hair for at least a month, he had terrible acne that somehow found it's way to the back of his hair. I had to scissor cut all over as my clippers were just bursting ever spot, and there was pus everywhere.

Do you secretly laugh at balding guys who still try to make their head look human with some shitty haircut?

Does the whole "PH balanced" shampoo and conditioner pitch generally seen in higher end shampoos (Bumble and Bumble, Kerastase) really have a huge difference over shit like Tresemmé and Dove or Garnier?

>>6152744

Chemical relaxing. It's expensive though and it doesn't last very long.

You could also try coconut oil treatment and brushing it flat with a flat brush.
Other than that, there's nothing much you can do. It's the shape of the hair follicle that dictates hair texture. Something that cannot be changed.

>>6152751

Sometimes we do. It's the men who're trying to cling onto their youth as they go bald by having really long, thin hair on top and thick hair round the sides.

>>6152755
>clippers bursting every spot
That's disgusting.

oh my god.....fuckin sick. Can you refuse service??

What hair products do you use? What brand is your personal favorite?

>>6152766

Would like to know too.

>>6152794
Basically you don't use shampoo to wash your hair under the logic that washing your hair to stop it being greasy creates a vicious cycle where your hair produces more grease to compensate for the constant washing. Eventually your hair is supposed stop being greasy but i tried it and after around 2 weeks i started getting spots where my hair touched my face so i gave up.

What do you think of dutasteride and finasteride OP.

>>6152766

It doesn't really matter. Shampoos containing natural ingredients are much better for your hair anyway.

Your hair should be at 4.5 - 5.5 pH. It will be higher or lower depending on what you've done to it. EG: Dyed hair will be higher. So you'' want to balance it out with a cleansing shampoo.
But the effects and benefits are hardly noticeable.

>>6152787

Unless your hair is naturally greasy/oily, use coconut shampoo on that bitch to keep it soft and manageable. Coconut conditioner. Coconunt/almond oil treatment twice a week too.

Everything coconut.

It will not grow faster. Hair grows in phases and points some strands of hair will stop growing. All you can do is wait and hope that they start growing again. There's nothing you can do.

Search anagen, telogen and catagen

>>6152780
No Poo is good in theory but not practicality. The natural oils are good for you, but you retain poor hygiene and look/smell disgusting as fuck if you do.

>>6152793
You can, but not if you've already started to cut hair. This particular guy had long hair covering the spots. I didn't know until i started shaving it off.

People will come in with ringworm and scabies and shit. You have to refer them to a trichologist without diagnosing their condition yourself, if you do, and you're wrong, they can sue you.

>>6152829
>sue you
Surely you can choose who's hair you cut
You have no legal obligation to cut hair, especially if they haven't payed

What are your thoughts on trimming hair to prevent split ends?

>>6152796
I have naturally dry hair so I go for coconut shampoo to add moisture.

Favourite brand is probably wella, but the special products you only find in salons (you can find them online). Failing that, go with Bed head.

>>6152814

I hear its great for curing baldness to an extent. But I doubt it would work on inherited baldness, only alopecia.

But I hear it also makes your dick floppy.

>>6152854
I have Bed Head hair spray. The stuff is good.

>>6152838
We have liability insurance so if we do fuck up we're covered.

But I was talking in the circumstance of diagnosing a condition. We are not qualified to do that. We have to refuse service and refer them to a GP or trichologist.

>>6152849

>Assuming you're growing your hair.
I don't think you should trim the hair until you have split ends. Other wise you're just cutting the hair shorter, and you'll get split ends once it grows anyway.

How often does a guy with long hair come in and ask you to cut it short? And how often does it actually turn out much better?

>>6152849

Why would you want to prevent split ends? It's an easy way to effectively double your hair

If you don't mind answering non-hair related stuff

Are you straight?
If so, does hairdressing increase your chances with girls?

I'm looking to buy a volumizing hair product. What do I buy? My hair is thin, slightly wavy, and shoulder length.

>>6152885
Looks and feels bad

>>6152885
Because it makes my hair more thin than it already is. And you know, thin hair isn't easy to manage.

How many men get their hair permed? I know two guys who I'm sure do it....

I've got really curly hair with large thick curls. Similar to the pic. But it will only be that defined in its curliness when I don't wash my hair for a couple of days, or if I'm lucky. It hasn't happened in a while.
What should do to get that kind of definition. I've been getting my hair thinned when I get it cut, should I stop that?
Thanks.

>>6152883

Twice a week we get a long to short.
It looks better 95% of the time. You occasionally get people who want short back and sides from long hair, only to uncover freakishly large elf ear, true story.

But yeah, men suit short hair far better than long. Always bet on short hair.

What is your favorite hair style on men?

Why are cut-thoat shaves so expensive?

How often do you recommend washing your hair?

Is American Crew gel a product you would recommend?

How do you style your hair? If you can, post a picture of someone with an identical style.

only on /fa/ do people use old war photos to describe their hair

>>6152854
>I hear its great for curing baldness to an extent. But I doubt it would work on inherited baldness, only alopecia.

>But I hear it also makes your dick floppy.
Confirmed for pleb tier barber

>>6152891

Your hair is quite long so I wouldn't recommend your usual waxes and gels etc.

I would look up volumising powder.

>>6152895
I am straight.
It does.

You often get Milfs coming in with their kids, and if you're good with kids they love it.

Even get girls waiting for their friends while he gets his hair cut. It's a very flirty atmosphere when a girl comes in.

Out of the shop, girls love a well groomed, well dressed man.

What is hair

>>6152903
I haven't had anyone come in for their hair permed in the past 2 years.

>>6152907

Yes, stop thinning the hair.

Wash it, towel dry it until it's damp, then use a round brush to blow dry it on a low heat. Make sure you curl your hair around the brush. The blast it off with cold hair from the dryer to set the hair in place. It should be relatively curly after that, you can then twist with your fingers and even use a good mousse to help.

Are you at work right now?

>>6152940
how much do you charge men for haircuts?
and yes i will judge you based on the price.

>>6152676
Jesus fuck i'm jelly of those facial aesthetics.

>>6152963
You should be. That guy gets laid like you with all your /fa/ shit combined ever will.

>>6152963

It's all math bro.

what kind of haircut would add texture to/help control a thick 'bieber' haircut (see picture)?

also I have quite thick hair right at the top of my head so it can make my head look quite long. Is there a name/anything I can do about that?

>>6152916
Classic short back and sides. Quiffed up side parting.

You can never go wrong with it.


>>6152918
Because they're potentially dangerous and very time consuming. We often have people with long straggly beards coming so we keep the prices high to compensate for time.

>>6152926
Wash once every day, and condition every other at the least.
It depends on what style you're trying to achieve, but yes, american crew is a great brand.

>>6152927
At the moment this is my style. But I'm growing it out and going back to my classic side parting.

>>6152914
Okay thanks, I've been thinking of cutting my hair short for a little while now. I've got a little above shoulder length wavy hair, like a shittier Miles McMillan style. But my ears are actually my main concern. So I should probably (at least initially) avoid short back and sides if I'm concerned then?

>>6152964
wut

For someone with absolutely no experience, is cutting my own hair a bad idea? My sides and back have grown out about an inch or so, and I want to either shave it or trim it very short. I'm not an absolute jew and I'm willing to go pay $20 for a proper haircut from my barber, but would I be able to do a similar job myself?

How do I into river phoenix mode hair?

>>6152952

Hair is Keratin.

>>6152957

>£9.00 for adults - $13.77
>£5.50 for kids - $8.42
>£5.50 for seniors - $8.42

>>6152958

No. It's my day off.

>>6152967

When you have your hair cut, ask to have your hair twisted and thinned out. It will thin your hair and create a shit load of texture. Something that most barbers don't realise, it's actually faster and better than point cutting.

>>6152970
any thoughts on where to part my short back and sides cut?
i usually get it like pic related.

>>6152979
I've tried to do this, bought some cheap hair clipper and guess what, I've fucked up. My glorious young Stalin was ruined in I had to go for a buzzcut. So, don't

>The blast it off with cold hair from the dryer to set the hair in place.
Do you mean: Then blast it off with cold air from the dryer to set the hair in place?
Also, is there anything special I should look out for in a good moouse?

>>6152963

Is it true that all Barbers have to first names?

>>6153020
I remember that one of my old managers got that hair style. Used that picture infact. I swear that style isn't suitable for jew fro. Need thick hair and big curls for it.

>>6152971

If you're really concerned about that I would recommend a surfer style hair cut. Really textured and shaggy. Then Sweep it all back with a good product with a firm hold and shine. Assuming your hair is manageable.
Pic related.

>>6152979
>No. Don't do it.

I tried once myself and I left lots of patches. There is no way you can give yourself a decent haircut.

>>6152984

>Firstly, have wavy and manageable hair.

Then ask for layered hair, using horse shoe sectioning (from temple to temple)
Ask them to razor the hair to add small amounts of texture.
Trim around the ears slightly and blend upwards.

>Do not let them touch your hair with clippers.

This will just give you a uniform graduation all round. The style you want is very messy and a uniform will not give you thay.

>>6153022
Obviously not OP, but I just went to my dermatologist, he gave me a Propecia prescription, and voilá, I can now come close to achieving the picture in OP.

>>6153036
Does propecia really work? I'm not thinning at all yet but I am preparing for the day, I've seen some good results but I'm unsure just how real they are.

>>6152990

An off centre parting is getting increasingly stylish. But side partings will never go out of style.

>>6153022
Not much. You can try shitty medication that "guarantees" to cure balding.
It's all genetics.

>>6153030

u wot m8?

What is this? What do with it? Also would you say Im balding?

>>6153039
>http://www.jacksmalegrooming.com/styling

Fudge shaper or Matte head.

Or get rid of the ridiculous fringe. Even bieber doesn't sport that shit, man.

>>6153040
I've only heard of that and similar products slowing hair loss. No regrowth.

>>6153040
I'm telling you right now, it works for me. I just stopped thinning altogether, and some new hair has grown at the crown. I will admit, my dermatologist put me on Propecia after six months of two other treatment routes that failed miserably. So it's usually not a first step if you address thinning in its early stages, like I did. I'm 20, btw.
;_;

>>6153062

I would say that's your hairs natural growth pattern and hair texture causing it.

It's too short and has nothing weighing it down, causing it stick up.

Can't tell if you're balding, from the picture.

OP do you have any tattoos? Every barber I've been to is covered with tats. Most are bald too. WTF

>>6153062
Its a cowlick, manolo. If you grow your hair out slightly you could quiff it up really easily. Thats what I do.

>>6153070

No tats. Healthy head of wavy hair master race.

A lot of barbers i know are qualified tattooists and barbers.
Or butch gays.

Thanks, didn't think if that. My hair is like pic related but I guess this should be possible. If it doesn't turn out to be such a problem I can always cut of more.

>>6153078
In the pic it looks a bit gross, this is a more accurate representation of my hair. Sadly without the godly face.

>>6153080

I still stick with my original recommendation to play it safe.

But I can recommend something more suited if you post a pic of yourself. A good haircut always improves upon facial aesthetics.

>>6153080
>>6153078
This is beautiful and my current aim
>>6153087
I went into a barber once that i'd been going to for a long time and asked for them to give me a haircut that complimented my face but got told a whole lot of stuff about expressing myself and not caring about what people think so i got what i wanted rather than what looked good for me and regretted it. Too scared to post ugly mug on 4chan though.

>>6153095

I don't need to see your face. I just need the shape of your head. Just black out your face and I can help you out.

Any tips for how I should grow my hair out?
I want a mature, adult haircut. Not a Hitler youth and not some faggot Bieber or shoulder length hairdo.

Is conditioning really that important if your hair is short?

>>6153034
>If you're really concerned about that I would recommend a surfer style hair cut. Really textured and shaggy. Then Sweep it all back with a good product with a firm hold and shine. Assuming your hair is manageable.
what kind of product?

>>6153087
Only pic i've got is from 2009 with a middle-part instead of a sidepart I do now so that probably won't help you much.

>>6152987
You don't charge much. I go in for a $32 haircut every month; don't know if shampooing and exclusive use of scissors warrants it, but I wouldn't go to another stylist in case they fuck up. How do you get your paycheck? From the salon or do you just rent out space?

Do you have regulars? Does it become easier to know what your clients want and how to deal with their hair over time compared to a walk-in you've never seen before?

>>6153127

Mousse or cream

>>6153123

Just let it all grow out for a couple months, and then get classic short back and sides with a parting.

>>6153077
Did you go to a stylist school? My guy says every other stylist he knows has a pair of scissors tattooed on them somewhere.

captcha blesabd shortening

Hello OP, I have thin hair with little to no volume.
I also have a four-finger hairline, long hair on the top and short on the sides and back.

The shape of my hair is somewhat like fig.1 when I comb it back and on the sides, except that my hair is much more straight.
When I comb it on the front, it kinda looks like fig.2, with a bit less volume obviously.

The thing is, I have no idea how to do my hair.
Pomade often isn't strong enough, spray makes it stay but it doesn't make it manageable.
When I wait 2 or 3 days before washing it, and then finally wash it, my hair looks fuller and feels better.
I use American Crew hair thickener shampoo.

Have you ever dealt with hair like mine ? Do you have any advice on my haircut and the way I should prepare it ? I've tried everything.

Thanks

OP has returned.

>>6153154

I actually started cutting hair and experimenting on my friends at the age of 12
No training, it's just all experience.

>>6153160
Anything that hangs below the chin is too long IMO

>>6153229

Styling products are really the best way to go.
I recommend a good fibre based product. It has reasonable hold and is easy to restyle if needed. It adds volume and texture.

The sticky has shit for curly hair styles. Not only is my hair very thick and curly but I have a callick so buzzcuts look like ass. Can you suggest something that isn't too out there like

>>6153314
Sweet.

>>6153302
I would lift the widows peak and shave a tiny bit off and point cut the fringe. The style it in a quiff.

>>6153303

Special ball trimmers.

>>6153304

Trim the facial hair down to stubble.
The hair cut suits your face shape very well, just define the parting a bit more.

>>6153324
There is also a slight widows peak in there

>>6153267
Thanks, I've been posponing this for too long. what if you hair poofs when it's short like that? should i ask my barber to reduce the volume? is something like >>6153078 acceptable?

I just wanted hair like tom cruise in the last samurai. Help, should I get it thinned out and layered when I'm happy with the length?

>>6153324

Nothing wrong with your ears.

Short back and sides. Start with grade 2 and blend up to a 4, then take 2" off the top and slick it back.

>>6153349
Fluffy hair is easily fixable. Just have it thinned out with a razor to remove stray hairs.
Use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner to make it manageable.
The add styling products if needed.

You have a huge nose (thin moustaches only)

I love this movie... I've been in love with River for as long as I can remember.

As a barber, would you recommend that I let my sides grow out? My jawline isn't as strong as his (but my face probably longer, yeah) so I'm not sure it would suit me anymore. My hair is just as thick, hmpf.

You need a square face. An extremely strong jaw and chin, and a nose that doesn't protrude to pull it off.

>>6153500

It's actually really annoying. What you describe is what you get. That's why most barbers have pictures on the wall as reference because most people are too retarded to understand what haircut they want.
They get what they ask for, then they complain. Just bring a picture.

>>6153531
Styling cream and most likely pomade

>>6153544

I've never used it personally, but I've heard good things.

>>6153582

Your hair takes after the men on your mothers side. So her brothers, if none, then her dad. If they're bald, chances are you're going bald.

>>6153647
Son you have never ever seen true dandruff. Real dandruff is sore, and yellow, and occasionally pus filled.

You have a dry scalp. Try lemon shampoo to cleanse your scalp, and then start using moisturising coconut shampoo.

>>6153574
You need a haircut to suit a moustache. With what you're sporting in your picture, it wouldn't really work.

>>6153540
Yeah, when he was young he had stylists constantly following him around. His last few years he got away from that because he hated it, hence why he looked so messy in the years leading up to his death.

It's cheap but it does the job. It's really meant for thick, coarse hair. Like asian hair. On fine hair it will probably hurt, depending on how strong the hold actually is.
I learnt this the hard way when I sold Gatsby spikey edge to a couple of customers and they complained it hurt as it was so strong.

>>6153759
I think that hair cut suits you. You should tidy it up a bit and go for a extreme transition from long on top to short on sides, blended in. Then have an off centre parting.

How long did it take for you to become a barber?
Also, where would a good place to get a start on it?

>>6153784
Got it. And yes, my hair is a shit. Since I'm at it, got a recommended cut? I think short sides look better on me, but I can't tell...

>>6152801
Random anon pitching in. My hair is thick af and wavy/borderline curly. After 4 months no poo, it lost its curl (thank fucking god, that was the goal) and is less greasy than it was half a year ago. It's the best it's every looked. I also have no acne. Of course, I do wash the rest of myself.

Honestly, it's just not for everyone. Either you love it or it ends up being nasty and you hate it.

>>6153853
I started at the age of 12. I would cut hair twice a month. It was a good 2 years before I was competent. But I was self taught. That was 9 years ago now and you constantly improve.

I don't recommend you start like me. You should go to college or something. That way, you'll get taught all the basics, and you'll get the experience all while gaining constructive criticism. You'll learn much faster than I did.

But advanced skills, some people have it, some people don't. You have to really train your eye, and understand the techniques and what makes a good haircut.

Hey OP (and the rest)

I'm in denial about my hairline but i don't want to look like im in denial about my hairline

How's this cut?

What kind of cut would you suggest for the shape of my head? Never bother styling it or anything and usually just buzz it then let it grow out naturally, but I feel like it looks like shit

>>6153895
excuse my retardation with the picture

Best pomade?

>>6153875
Something like pic related

But shorter on the sides and graduated up. Keeping most of the length on top.

I'm convinced fair haired people only suit short hair, unless they want to stand out (which I personally don't)

>>6153881

You could grow the fringe and style in to hang over your forehead. Hiding the hair line and probably improving the cut itself.

>>6153895

Crew cut. Pic related

>>6153898

American crew.

>>6153924

Any advice for someone with really thin hair? Not in any particular spot, just generally. I have to wash it a lot and I can't use heavy products, or it clumps together and you can see lots of scalp.

Op, how long will you be in this thread? I want to post picture, but I am not home at the moment.

>>6153924
I'm assuming with product for the crew cut as well?

I'm too shy to go to the barber because I don't know what to talk about. Will I seem like a complete retard if I don't talk? Any tips for going about explaining the type of cut I want?

>>6153903
So this is 'layered' then, correct? I'm new to short hair, so I'm a bit uninformed lol.

OP you're pretty much the most helpful person to ever come to /fa/, props to you, and I hope this thread gets archived.

Also, what do you recommend to hide a receding hairline? (that actually still has hair, buzzcuts on young people make you look like a skinhead)

Pic related is the best I've seen

what do, OP?

>>6153944
Use products with light hold. Pomade works best.

>>6153948
I'll be lurking on and off for a few hours

>>6153949
Not particularly. I recommended it as you said you don't style it. But it can be styled.

>>6153956
No, lots of customers don't talk. Use pictures to describe.

>>6153957
Layered and textured with a razor.

do me do me!

>>6153986
would you suggest just showing them the picture of the crew cut you posted?

Also you're extremely helpful, thanks for making this thread

I don't know hair terminology

What does layered mean? What does textured mean?

op, should i go with long or short hair?
currently i let my hair grow, but im not sure if i should cut

Op, can you give me your advice? I posted >>6150806

>>6152940
>tfw that's the texture of my hair, and the color
>tfw I look glorious coming out of the water when my hair pulls back.
Anyways...
I want to grow my hair really long, what are some of the ways I can make sure it looks good? How do I know if it won't match my face?

>>6153977
Thanks.
You're pretty much spot on with your picture. A fringe is always the best way to hide a receding hairline. A safe bet is always a side parting with the fringe hanging over.

Pic related (sort of)

>>6153978

The photo is blurry but I'm assuming your hair is thick.
Keep it short and tidy on the sides, squared off. If you're brave enough, get a skin fade.
Have a dramatic transition from short to long on top. Short at the back, longer at the front, so you can have a stylised quiff.

>>6153991
Grow it a bit longer at the sides, and on top. Get a classic short back sides graduation and side parting.

>>6153998
Thanks.
Any picture of a crew cut will do. They're pretty standard, military cuts. They never go out of style.

>>6153875
oh my god, yes

based OP what do?
asian straight hair
have previously just had buzzcuts

>>6154033
Nah I look really gay with side parting.. Thanks though, now I know.

>>6153999
Simply.
Layering is a removal of weight/length.
Texture is to add texture so hair doesn't look so smooth and flat.

>>6154003
Go a bit shorter on the sides with an off centre parting. Use a matte styling product so your hair doesn't shine so much.

>>6154019

Really long as in below the shoulder?
It doesn't really suit anyone.
Above the shoulder suits pretty much all face types apart from diamond.

>>6152953

Question about the pic in this post. Will it only work for a more squarish face? My hair basically falls the same way untouched

>>6154068
I really didn't want to jump on the 'asking for haircut advice' thing, but I can't not get advice from somebody who knows their shit. Suggested cut/style/anything?

Also, thanks for answering /fa/'s questions.

yo OP, looking to get a haircut, what do you suppose will suit me? I got really thick hair.

OP, what should i do?

>>6154068
Something similar to this is what I'd shoot for.

>>6154016

Sorry to say it man, but you shouldn't straighten your hair. It's destined to frizz. Afro hair is extremely curl a coarse so if you really wanted, you could chemically relax it. But don't straighten it.
Just get a skin fade man, it's classy and looks good.

>>6154063
Keep it nice and short on the sides. If you're looking to style it, go with short to long on top. Use a strong product with mild shine.

>>6154067

>Implying ladies don't like gays
There's method to the madness, son.

What should i use to make my hair like picrel?

My hair is straightened OP. What do you think would look best?

Thanks!

im washing my hair tonight
i reeeaally dont want to

>>6154095
I'm not rich or confident enough to just kinda look gay but act manly. Or manly enough for that matter.

Just outta bed so pardon the everything. Haven't had a haircut in months so I'd really appreciate your input

>>6154133
wash it with banana m8

>>6154095

I have a friend who has done it, and he doesn't seem to have any problems. He said he used a hair iron. I'd rather not use chemicals.

You really think so?

>>6154074
The face shape in the picture is very square. So yeah, it would suit it very well.

>>6154078
You have a good sense of style. It's just a little too long at the sides to suit your face shape. Take her down shorter at the sides, I'd say grade 1 blended up into a 4 the connect the sides to the top with a uniform layer going round. But keep the length.

Just simply ask to blend the top to the sides, they'll get it.
I would taper that bitch at the back too.

>>6154086
Crew cut. But lots of length on top so you can brush it up have it messy.

>>6154089
You hair is wavy and the growth patters don't really suit that length.

Take some length off. Go for something classic. I'll say it again, side parting never goes out of style.
Ask your barber to point cut at your fringe to try and ease/remove the waves and kinks.

>>6154092
It's up to you man. But long hair really works best with some stubble and tanned skin. But it's not always a guarantee you can bull it off.

What are the benefits of using coconut shampoo/conditioner? I hear it's great.

What is your opinion on the Gatsby moving rubber products? Are they as good as people say?

Is it possible for someone to just have "shit hair" ?

My mums hair goes frizzy after a certain length, my dad is bald.

My hairline started receeding at 21 and im 26 but theres still a decent amount of hair there. I dont mind a shaved look, nor having longer hair, but no matter what style I seem to get cut, or style, my hair just always looks shit even when I normally get it cut into a faux hawk.

>>6154103

Dye half of your hair.

Use styling cream and style with your fingers for texture and separation.

>>6154133
Wash it bro. Don't listen to /fa/ and their "no poo" propaganda. Girls don't like a smelly cunt. Neither do guys for that matter.

>>6154140
Your hair looks quite manageable. Grade 2 back and sides blended up. Keep the length and combed over to the side. Trim the straggly hairs around the fringe.

>>6154150
No. Don't straighten it. It's really frizzy.
Just go with the skin fade and keep it quite short.

>>6153128
Ah what the heck, here it is.

>>6154194
This is 4 years ago and the curls have subsided since then, it's more like the pics I posted early.

>>6154194

>>6154161
It a natural ingredient and naturally adds moisture to your hair leaving it soft and manageable, thus requiring less chemicals.

I know it sounds like a cheesy advert but it's true.

>>6154162

I don't recommend them to people with fine hair. If you have thick hair and need something to tame it, go ahead. Just don't use too much because it hurts like shit if you do.

>>6154171

Yeah it does happen. But there's always ways of improving.
It's really about finding the right products to improve the look.

>>6154152
Hey >>6154086 here,
what about facial hair to go with it?

>>6154191
>>6154140

Thanks for the input, man. Not quite share what exactly all those words mean... yet. Wouldn't happen to have a reference pic for what I should be aiming for?

>>6154206
what about white tea shampoo?

>>6154194

Pic related. Just take it a bit shorter.

What kinda cut should I get?

Am I an asshole if I don't tip? If $o, how much?

>>6154220
So more like this then? Anyway thanks for the advice, didn't really know what to do with it if/when I'm going to cut it short.

>>6154222
I always tip for services.

>>6154207

I recommend stubble. No more, no less. Keep it trimmed and tidy.
You could always take my original recommendation with a skin fade and have stubble.
>Pic related

>>6154214

What I recommended is pretty close to a classic parting. If you say exactly what I said to a barber, they'll understand.
See this : >>6152990 Pretty close to that.

>>6154218
Never used it, so i can't really say. It's always best to stick with the basics. Coconut will always work best.

>>6154221

Short back and sides. I'm liking the length on top, add some product to give it bit more definition.

>>6154222

Tough times man, I don't really expect a tip anymore. 2/5 people give one.

>>6154253

What kinda products do you recommend?

>>6154240

Not really asking for style, just got a question.
I pretty much despite using products in my hair, so I came up with my own solution.
I usually just put my palm on top my head and rub really really hard for about 10 sec or so, and it ends up like this or something similar, holds pretty good.
So my question is if my own solution could be harmful for my hair somehow. Damageing the scalp or something.

how often to wash head?

looking for a shorter cut, any suggestions?

I have slightly oily hair. It's not enough to get America to invade it, but still a bit more than what I think is normal.
What shampoo do you recommend? Also, general product recommendations?

Oh god i can only hope my hair takes after my mother's brothers. They are both over 50 and have great hair.

>>6154287

Nope. All you did was generate heat, the same thing that straighteners do.
Heat opens the hairs cuticles making it limp and manageable.
Cold air closes them, giving it more hold.

Sounds bro science-like, but it's true.

>>6154291

Every day. Don't listen to the "no poo" shit.

>>6154298
Looks to me like you have very wavy and fluffy hair. Keep the style, just take it a lot shorter, and ask your barber to point cut to remove the kinks and waves.

>>6154309

I presume your barber just squares it off at the back. If you want to go shorter, ask for a tapered neck.

Chances are it will. Enjoy your great hair, treat that mane well.

>>6154382
Women don't find long hair attractive unless you have godly facial aesthetics. That's a fact. You can conduct experiments on how wet they get and the report back.

You should go for a classic cut. But your face is quite narrow, so have some volume on the sides. Classic side parting, it works.

>>6154391
>Have incredibly fine hair
>Get an undercut

Pomade into towel dried hair and slick back with a flat brush.

>>6154400
Lynx is shit. Throw it out your window now.

Your hair is fine, so you want something with a light hold that doesn't clump together. Try wax or pomade. Failing that, putty.

>>6154410

You're an 'ansome cunt m8

>>6154423

Gotta be done man. Shave the beard, you have good facial aesthetics, don't hide it behind a bit of fluff.

Well if you want to go with what's in right now, go for an undercut, tapered into a V at the back of the head.

If you want something classic, stick with your current parting, just tidy it up.
You've got a nice head of hair. Don't ruin it.

>>6154454
A good pomade, and fine, manageable hair.

>>6154491

Go shorter on the back and sides. Shorter or keep the length on top. What ever floats your boat.

>>6154555
Any kid from the church choir. Take your pick.
>3 big styles right now

-Short back and sides - parting/quiff
-Undercut
-Disconnected top

They're popular for a reason. Because they look good. Take advantage of this.

>Hair dye
Salons/barbers use tones and shades to colour hair. Research 'Wella colour chart' if you're looking to dye your hair.

>Beards

The only beards that are in style are:
-Balbo
-Stubble
-Full beard

>>6154801
>>6154839

>pros
Natural oils are good for your hair (to an extent) and styling

>Cons
It's unhygienic
It smells
It's disgusting
It's greasy

Sebum is the oil, the same shit that gives you oily skin. Too much of it and its unhygienic, and you'll get acne. A lot of people have over active sebaceous glands, and secrete too much sebum. It's not good for hygiene. "No poo" is a troll.

Shampoo merely lifts away dirt and excess oil. It doesn't dry anything out unless you buy the wrong product.

Conditioner restructures the cuticle and cortex and cleanses properly.

Condition every other day. Shampoo every day for a healthy, clean head of hair.

If you want to feel the benefits of no 'poo without being disgusting, using coconut oil on your hair twice a week.

Thanks based Barber, this is one of the best threads on here in a good while.

Would you recommend conditioner with lemon shampoo?

>>6154978
Can you tell me what a conditioner is? We only use shampoos here, and I don't know if I should look into it. I'm the dude with the beard, I only use wax to shape my hair.

What hairstyle would you recommend for someone with a large forehead, slight widows peak, and a weak jawline?

>tfw didn't discover conditioner until I went to grow my hair long
Can't do without nowadays.

A classic side parting with the parting hanging over like a fringe.
Check my previous posts.

You said people can't cut their own hair well, but they'res a poster here (mike) who does it really well in this video:

Do you have any comments about this?

It looks decent.

But the fact is you can only achieve basic hair cuts like this. More advanced techniques you need a skilled barber.

Eg: blending. The blending in the video is very poor, and the overall shape of the cut was poor. Quality blending is achieved with scissor/clipper over comb. You cannot do that yourself.

Also. People would not take that video seriously if the guy was not good looking. A lot if haircuts piggy back off of facial aesthetics.

Hey what does getting a disconnected top mean?

>>6155281
I think it means there isn't a fade between the top and bottom

I'm not him though

Can it be fixed?

Based Op, do you have any recommendations for my small forehead?

If I have somewhat straight hair would this look still be achievable?

What would be the best way to do it?

Is this a good haircut? Also what type of person would it look good on?

>>6156073
also if my hair stick out a little since i have a tiny, tiny cowlick across my hairline would this still work?

Hello based barber. I want to grow my hair long like Miles Mcmilan. Can I pull it off??
Also what type of hair cut would you recommend for me pic related?

Cheers.

Also it might not seem that way but my hair is pretty good genetic wise. It's straight/wavy and it's very flexible.
