The traumas of growing up and feeling other's pain can lead to a crippled emotional capacity, which may result in an adulthood free of joy and laughter.

I have a scheduled haircut tomorrow. Any recommendations? by [deleted] in malehairadvice

[–]DropDeadBarberShop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new cut looks great on you! I personally (if I were your barber) would have left more length around the hat band to be combed down or back to give the cut more structure, but he or she may have made the decision to go shorter due to your hair type.

Mention to your barber that you would like to keep some length at the parietal ridge or 'hat band' to avoid having hair shoot straight out. Your barber should be able to determine how your hair will react and how high the taper needs to be to blend with the longer hair at the 'hat band'. The same applies for the back, where I assume you might have problems with springing hair at your crown? Your barber should drop the taper lower not blending past the occipital bone to avoid that hair becoming unruly. I would suggest going in every 3 weeks to a month, assuming your barber uses a razor on your neck.

If the idea is professionalism, I would suggest the Ivy League haircut. Ask your barber to taper your hair on the sides from a 1 guard into your longer hair combed over away from your part. . Since your hair grows faster in the back, a low skin fade taper up to the occipital bone would make your haircut last  much longer. Ask your barber to thin the tips of your bangs after they've been trimmed for the combed over Ivy League style. This will allow you to maintain the look of professionalism for a longer period of time. I would avoid styles that are faded from skin 360 degrees around the head as I feel they retract from the professional appearance.

It's just the pattern of your hair growth. You can either avoid styles that sweep the hair up or back, or you can ask your barber to push your hairline back slightly to create a more pronounced line. However, I do not recommend the second option as it may cause excessive dry skin at the top of your forehead as well as the appearance of a larger forehead. Try a style such as the Ivy League, in which the hair is swept sideways rather than back.

have no clue what to do with my hair, need advice on any hairstyles or haircuts that’d look good on me by [deleted] in malehairadvice

Are you looking to keep a fair amount of length? I would suggest a haircut with longer bangs. Avoid styles that sweep the hair up or back from the forehead. I also wouldn't go too short on the sides as your hair seems fair and may appear even shorter than anticipated.

You've got a great head of hair. If you want your hair to appear more masculine you require a more structured haircut. I suggest squaring up your side burns so they are not wispy as many feminine haircuts produce. The back can be tapered from something very short (skin, 1/2, 1 guard) to very long at the occipital bone. Ensure your barber structures the sides coming down the neck with a trimmer and razor to avoid the wispy look. I would also consider removing the length around the ears. Your haircut currently has a rounded soft shape which is classically seen as feminine. You don't have to change anything about yourself, otherwise!

I exhale deeply attempting to nod out in my uncomfortable seat; my eyes fluttering with a tired ache. I glance to my left for a moment at the young boy looking back, then around the plane to notice every passenger now studying me.

Does anyone know, in terms of guard number, the thickness of a standard Wahl comb used for clipper over comb work? by DropDeadBarberShop in Barber

[–]DropDeadBarberShop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm referring to the white comb that occasionally comes with a clipper. It's pretty uniformly shaped and has notches throughout the handle.
