    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.

    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.

      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.

      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 :)

        Same issue, pomade was the fix for me (wavy hair), until then I always just lived with my hair looking like shit until it reached the perfect balance of “unwashed enough to have some weight and texture on it, clean or dry shampooed enough to not look super unwashed”.

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

    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

        I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone normal who refers to themselves as Chad. They aways come of as needy and trying to prove something.

        It really hasn’t. If all the people you’re associating with are using Chad and Stacy in regular conversation, you need to expand your pool of friends.

    100% his hair wasn’t long enough to begin with and the stylist told him so and he still went ahead. Also what’s chad about that? It’s a chav haircut and chavs are like the opposite of chad.

    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!”

        Anon learning (ha, anons learning) the meaning of caveat emptor.

        Sales don’t mean shit if the product/service is bad, plenty of bad products have tons of sales.

      I give haircuts to myself and the shaving device I got recently was like 40-50 EUR and it s expected to last a couple years like the one before it.

      My reasons for not going to the proper place is:

      1. I am always on the move (I might not speak the language of the current country)
      2. I am lazy and prefer to do things at home rather than arrange an appointment or go wait there
      3. professionals make the haircut look way better but it will last for a couple days / couple showers

      Mine looks plain, in the beginning they look even worse then you start getting it. The advice I would give others wanting to try that: dont shave too much so the small imperfections will not be too obvious.

        Yeah, I need to keep my hair a bit longer to not look like a worm
        So I bought one of those trimmers, you can connect to a vacuum. This sucks in the hair and it gets cut at least reasonable long.

        And every place I went, they just did their typical thing that’s currently en vogue, didn’t matter much, what I was saying. It was always just an adaptation of the current style.

        So I gave up paying 30-100€ every few months, because they couldn’t get it right anyway.

        If I need to look like shit for a few weeks, it should at least be cheap…

        Yup, that’s what I do. I’ve been doing it for years and it looks fine. It takes about 20 min to get an acceptable fade, which is less than if I drove to a barber/stylist and back.
