ITT: Hair Styling Advice

Master_Kale · Post by **Master_Kale** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 5:06 pm

Guys, it's that time of the year again: I-Need-a-Haircut Time! Unfortunately, I have yet to find a haircut that I can reliably ask for and be happy with. That's why I've turned to you guys. Take a gander at what I'm sporting now:

Front

Side

In the past, I've gone with slightly longer than a buzzcut out of force of habit, but I'm starting to think that maybe I should keep it a bit long. Are there any fashionable and low-maintenance hairstyles for someone with hair like mine?

I have bad news for you...

Well, the good news is that someone invented wigs. *giggeling* *looks in the mirror* *stops giggeling*

What the hell does that mean?

That you should honor your name, and shave your head bald, and then wear wigs. Lots of wigs.

Headshaving depends on if you have a nicely shaped head or not, though admittedly: there's only one way to find out..

But yeah, I'd recommend headshaving. It's liberating!

EER is correct, as always but I'd suggest even more wigs! As for the alternative answer (this is DX-related, right?), I am still undecided between Video 1 and Video 2.

Hah, "I have bad news for you"

Cut shorter in the back and on the sides, since it looks disheveled.. You have curly short hair, so I don't know what to suggest otherwise. Even a brush or buzz cut might look odd with curly hair. Also, paint your fence.

Disheveled is a good description of my current hair style; I take a shower in the morning and comb it back with my fingers when I get out...that's the extent of my "styling" ><

I do agree with your suggestion to trim the back. Maybe I'll just go in and tell the barber to give me a trim and see what happens from there :\

spike it. My hair looks exactly like yours when I get out of the shower, we both have curly hair but I pull of spikes pretty well. Tell them to take an inch off the top and use a number 3 on the sides. Viola instant secks appeal.

Grow it into a mullet

Mcguyver ftw!

I'm going to get a haircut tomorrow. I think I'll follow your advice, since it sounds like the type of haircut I want but haven't been able to put into words.

And CP, I may be inventive as hell, but no one will ever look as good with a mullet as the original MacGyver

I agree - gel it up -

I figured short hair might look odd with the curling. Ask your barber/stylist what they'd recommend.

Oh, I forgot, those sideburns look odd now. I'd suggest no sideburns. They'll grow back fast anyway. Squaring off the goatee (it's actually a "circle beard") could help.

Got a haircut as per ZP's suggestion. I'll post pictures once I finish unpacking.

It's not squared off? Oh dear, I've been going about this all wrong D:
Is there a particular part of the goat' that's making it a "circle beard"? I took a look at the picture again and couldn't quite tell what you meant.

A circle beard is a goatee with a mustache that connects. Just the technical name. Making the lines on the side straighter could be a good look; it's hard to do with disposable razors, but easy with a DE razor or a beard trimmer.
