Men's Hair |OT|

What do I do if my hair is moderately thin/fine? D;

I've had it somewhat longer than average hair for years and years, I don't even know what a short/medium hair length style would be good for me.
 
Tried to grow it long again, got tired of the frizzy finnish afro and got this instead:

It works some days and some days it's just a nightmare to fix.

^that looks p good for great clips. better than i've ever got

how much do you guys pay at your barbershop? i'm looking for a nice place in Orlando, and there is a place called Liberty Barber Shop. It is $20 for a cut but you have to get there an hour or so before he opens to wait in line. Only one dude and he only has so many openings. Or you can make an appointment, but he'll only do that if you do it in person and pay upfront(and it costs $40 if you want an appointment). This is all a bit of a turnoff, but goddamn the cuts I see from people that walked out the one time i went to check it all out looked fantastic. the guy gives off some crazy misunderstood artist vibes, but i'm willing to put up with a lot of this bullshit if the haircut is great. just not sure if it is worth $40

I go to Liberty. I have been going there since it was $15 for a walk in. The place is great because he has the skills of a stylist with scissors, but can do razor shaves and fades unlike stylists in the area. I would forget walk ins here for a while, especially with how popular John has become. His apprentice will be charging $15 for walk ins and $25 for appointments when he starts in July.

Honeycomb is a great alternative from what I have heard.

It'd be so much easier if I could just call in and make an appointment with him. Cool that someone knows about it on here though. I'll probably just cave in and go one random week day morning

Last time I arrived early, he did not update his Facebook profile until that morning, saying that the entire day was booked. I don't really trust walk ins there anymore.

I remember once in high school I got a haircut like this...

Like a receding hairline, with a sharp edge. Then curves down. Mine was so severe, he cut inches from my hair.

Dude, I just got the worst haircut I've had in ages too. I showed my barber, who usually is on point, a picture, and he totally did not get it and cut way too fast. As soon as I got home, I buzzed my head. What a waste of money and time :/

I basically showed him this.( I showed him other pictures too)

And I got a flat top instead, gave me Hank Hill hair lol.
 
Going for a cut tomorrow and don't want to get the usual (2 on the sides, and about half off the top with scissors, literally what I say). I'm thinking of getting a low fade (1.5 clippers) and blending the top sides with scissors. I have a question about texture cuts on the top, should I be asking for this? and what does it really mean? My hair is thick as fuck and has way too much weight on it. It's hell to style. Below is a pic of my hair, fresh out the shower. Any tips on what I should do?

Note: Basically what I want.

How's the Baxter Hard Water? I've been using the cream pomade, but I'm about out. Loved it, but I just was thinking of trying the Clay or Hard Water. Experimenting.

Yikes. That looks like crap. He went way too far into the middle of his head for the hard part. It looks like a pelon candy lmao.

i probably wouldnt go so far in the middle like the video. Not like I would get this done any time soon as i dont trust any of the hairdressers i go to.

Does this thread double as Men's Beards?

I see there are several products to help maintain it....but aren't those just snake oil?

alright gaffer bros. Been letting my hair grow longer than usual so I have options when I go to get it cut.
Sides need to be trimmed/fixed for sure. I'm not sure if I should let the top grow a bit longer.

here's towel dried

I usually style my hair messy/spiky ala Ted Mosby. I've been experimenting with this though the past week or so

Hair dryer, round brush, and matte product of your choice. I find that it looks less like I have product in my hair if I wash it directly before styling.

i found a local barbershop that i'm going to try out. not sure if i should do undercut or pompadour. my current haircut is complete shit, hard to tell in the pic probably, but here it is anyway. any suggestions are welcome

i have some bad cowlicks too, but i can't remember the last time i got a quality haircut. i'm hoping the barber i'm going to today will be able to make something out of it. if not, i might just ask him to cut it all off and grow it out for a bit to see if that helps

the barber i went to today used layrite and now i need to buy this shit and replace it with my american crew. while the smell of american crew is fine, layrite literally smells like a cinnabon imo
 
I just recently got this done:

I'm really digging it. Only thing that sucks is that I'm pretty lousy at getting that height when I style my hair myself.. :S I've heard the trick is to blow dry but I guess I'm just not good enough at it?

you sure your barber didn't just eat a cinnamon roll before they did your hair? ;P

i might show this to my cousin though.

he just got into the gatsby line.

Apply mousse then blow dry.
