    Yeah, this is a terrible attempt at that cut. The real thing is more of a fade while OP got a really high bowl cut. Lack of product doesn’t help, but product can’t fix the lack of fade.

    Paying $100 for a haircut doesn’t always mean the stylist has the requisite skills.

        They might’ve also realized anon was (as usual) a complete fucking idiot when he showed the stylist the picture of some dude and called him a chad.

        “lol I’m fuckin dumbfuck’s shit all the way up and I’m rippin his stupid ass off while I’m at it!”

    If you look closely at the left picture the hair cut isn’t actually good, the tattoos, beard, earrings and confidence is carrying.

    I swear someone needs to teach young men about pomade, hair gel, mousse, just anything at all about how to style and texture your hair. I guarantee the guy in the left pic doesn’t look like that when he rolls out of bed, and if you want your hair to look like his, you’ll need similar amounts of styling and product.

      i thought i was doomed to always have bad hair aside from maybe one or two days a month when they decided to look nice

      gels never worked, neither did pomades (curly hair) but then i discovered hair modelling clay, and now i can have a nice hair whenever i want :)

        Yes, clay for curly hair! My stylist introduced me to that and now I realize it’s half the battle. L’Oréal shit I use is expensive at $23, but it lasts awhile and the results lead to regular compliments.

      You’re not at all wrong with the first part.

      But I can tell you with hair like that, you can actually just roll out of bed and have it look good. But that presupposes you’ve actually taken care of the hair and that it’s cut well.

      Definitely wasn’t a great stylist if that’s how unevenly they cut the front, but also that dudes hair is kinda dry, so perhaps with product he could make it look better.

      I had horrible problems with a frizzy mess of hair until started using a leave in conditioner spray and a bit of hair oil. I also sleep with a silk bonnet. But yeah, when there’s a suitable amount of both, the next day I’ll just wake up and slightly brush it and it looks great. Whereas last year I couldn’t even get a brush through it. And if I don’t wear the bonnet I don’t need to brush even, as it squishes the hair a bit.

      If I style it I use a tiny bit pomade, but like a really soft one. Almost like a cream.

      But yeah you’re definitely right that someone should teach men about hair care. I’m still just learning but my hair is already much better. Just would’ve enjoyed knowing these things in my 20’s for a gorgeous mane. I don’t have male pattern baldness in my family really but it does thin a bit.

    1. grow a beard
    2. fix the cowlick in the front
    3. show the sides, you coward, it might be a competent fade cut you’re just not showing it from the right angle

    Well first of all anon is a pillock for paying $100 for a haircut. Any Barber actually charging that amount would have at least given him some hair gel or something.

    I pay about 10% of that and it comes out looking fine. Then again, my haircut is designed to make my hair look less stupid, and it’s not intended to me me look like a football hooligan.

    Doesn’t look like he has any product in his hair like the guy on the left. Still looks like the barber did a bad job tho.

  • After 20 years of terrible haircuts punctuated by occasionally decent ones, I just started shaving my head in parts every few years. If mechanics fucked me half as hard and half as often, I’d learn how to fix my own car. Prob’ly getting a tall Mohawk in a few months, but I’m not sure what I’m going with yet.

      It’s an incredibly basic bitch middle-eastern man cut. Every immigrant in Sweden has those fade sides, with a mop on top. They brought barber-culture and it has become incredibly popular.

      People usually get them at a barber, not at the hairdresser, which is where OP made his mistake.

    The problem is entirely you. The fact you want a “chad” haircut is the problem. It’s probably for the best the biggest incel echo chamber is gone.

      Chad is pretty much common parlance now, it’s use hasn’t been a good metric of incellibecy in at least two years

    Why would you cry because of haircut? Sometimes I am unsatisfied when I leave barbershop, but it’s not like anyone cares about my haircut, lol.

    In other words, just shave it off, and move on.

    Something similar happened to me. I went to a really high end expensive barber and we talked for 15mins about what i wanted and I said that i’d like him to recommend things and go with his opinion. We found a hairstyle that I also liked. After the haircut 5 different people asked me if I cheaped out on my haircut because it looks like shit. They said its not even that the style if bad they said it looks poorly cut. I am never ever straying away from telling barbers “Cut it short on top #2 on the sides”

      „Number 2 on the sides“ sounds like something our 5 year old would serve with his sand cake.
