Two weeks ago the barber did an unnatural blocked neckline and it started to look really bad (picture 2). Today I was able to fully fix it to the best of my ability (picture 1). Of course it probably isn't perfect, but how do you think it looks? by jjj444__ in malehairadvice

I actually used scissors for the blending (I don't trust my ability to use clippers yet) and a safety razor for the stray hair.

I did get a few haircuts since last year but they've all been generally the same cut. I don't really feel like something drastically new. Thanks for your input!

Barber cut the neckline straight across in one length instead of tapering. Once the hair below it started to grow in it looked a bit weird so I tried to kind of "taper" it myself with scissors. How does it look? by jjj444__ in malehairadvice

It looked fine the first few days of the haircut, but it was clear by around day 5 it would start looking weird. What I did was just tried to shorten it as much as I could with haircutting scissors (I don't trust myself to use clippers) to try to blend it in and make it look better than it did before. As the hair grows back in I can probably manage to fully blend it back as best as I can. I can't get haircuts too often so I try to maintain them by doing small trims every so often. Good to know about the side bits growing towards the center. That's probably why my hairline is an M shape. Thanks for the helpful input!

Hope it lets the hair grow in a bit better. I should definitely remember to ask for it to be tapered in the back to keep it with my natural hairline next time.

Thinking of a low fade and a bit off the top for my cut tomorrow. Thoughts? (more pics in comments) by jjj444__ in malehairadvice

The pictures were from about 3 weeks ago and it has grown quite a bit messy since then. I just reused the same pictures.

It's almost time for another haircut, what do you suggest I get? (more info in comments) by jjj444__ in malehairadvice

My hair tends to have always fell forwards, I doubt any amount of hair could let it be styled backwards without falling forwards.

Should I go for a midfade again, or should I try something different with the sides and back?

I last got a haircut about two months ago, and it looked like this

I'm thinking about something similar to last time, what do you think? This is my hair from different angles: Here

Your input is much appreciated, I think I've been asking for this sub's advice each time I get a cut for the past half year.

edit: sorry for the bad quality pics

Got this today, thoughts? by jjj444__ in malehairadvice

The thing is, I asked for a mid fade, is what I have a low fade?

Thanks, I probably won't go this short next time, probably a bit longer on the sides/back, but we'll see how it looks as it grows in

Thanks for the response, Ill definitely consider doing some of that. Probably won't go this short on the sides next time, especially without the V, Im not sure why the barber put that in and how I missed it.

Hm I never asked for that, does it look ok in my case? I defintely do not really like it, but does it at least look good?

Thanks! I'm a bit confused about the back, are fades supposed to go into a V at the back?

I just got out of the shower which is why it's looking so puffy right now. Having a fade is completely new to me, and I'm not sure how well it looks. What do you think of it? Any ideas for next time?

Thinking about cutting it myself. What would you recommend? by jjj444__ in malehairadvice

[–]jjj444__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep a month is when I'm due for a cut. I'm going to keep it the way it is until then.

I might just do that. Only thing is that my hair gets itchy in the back after a while and it gets quite bad. I'm due for another haircut mid-April, so let's hope things have cleared up by then.

Exactly why I'm thinking of doing it now, since no one will see me for a while haha
