I definitely would like to go get a cut by that Daniel Alfonso guy if I'm ever in LA. Luckily I finally got a go to guy down here. He can just about pull anything off if you bring in a picture.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Love this hair. I currently get my hair cut about every 3 weeks.

Curious to know though.. Is it even possible for an Asian guy to achieve this hair? I'm half korean/half white..

the sides and back of my head the hair sticks straight out even when short. Anyway of being able to counteract this?

My hair is the same way.

As far as the sides, the only way I have been able to solve the problem is cutting it to a #2 or shorter.

As far as the top, just have your barber thin it out. That seems to have been done in the specific picture you quoted. If you bring that exact picture to a quality barber, they should be able to do you right.

I don't think people realize how much better a decent haircut, nice clothes, and a somewhat fit body can make a man look.

Just got a pound of hair chopped off, feels good man

No more silky long hair?

Look at that volume! You should look into being a hair model.

Oh god yeah I know that. Was just taken aback abit after less than 6 hours haha. Its not like the undercut was bad either!

Shitty pic I apologize. Its so much nicer not having hair in my face after a shower and on days when I dont do my hair. Infact its dryed after a shower and i could leave the house and not be concerned about it.

Need better pics. From what I can tell though ... it looks outstanding

So I'm not the only one with a 3GS still, sweet.

Ha yeah. For one I like the curves on it rather than the flat edges on the 4-5 but also I'm abit of a cheap skate!

Also, this thread needs more hair video love.

I want to try this "drop fade" so bad, but it seems like it would be hard to pull off while simultaneously being white.

Can anyone report on Hanz Quicksand btw?

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Sean, you and John are two of the best looking dudes on gaf - I wouldn't worry too much about being able to pull off practically any look.

And hairspiration,

It's kind of like sand and gritty and super matte. Good hold and all that but too strong for me. I like stuff that's very natural and light like mousse/texture cream.

Yes! Someone other than me on here watches this dudes videos!

Also, it seems like you and some other people have tried more products than me. Think you could write up a few more reviews that I can add to the OP for a little variety?

 

[Dice]

*looks at pic in the op*

I'm not gonna get a damn bieber cut.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Finally got the cut I've been clamoring for. It looks fantastic. I'll post some decent pictures when I get a chance but man, the confidence boost from getting a good hair cut is insane.

Also, keep posting those pictures, MiD. I dig coming into this thread and constantly seeing new styles.

I've probably seen 90% of mens haircuts videos on youtube. Not really that many out there. I'll write some stuff and edit it into this post later.

Hanz De Fuko Quicksand - Gritty, very unique, alright smell, high hold, very matte, and slightly hard to wash out

Jack Black Texture Cream - Smell pretty bad, Somewhat sticky, kind of like a weak pomade mixed with a wax. Would not try again.

Bumble and Bumble Straight - Not a standalone product in my opinion but it does help the straightening process and gives the hair a nicer feel

Bumble and Bumble Hair Spray - Good for a finishing touch of hold and shine. The whole B&B line is good for anyone who doesn't like that heavy stick stuff that mens products always seem to be about.

Got2b Glued Spray - Haha let this be a lesson to avoid drug store hair products. Bought this when I was a kid and it sucked. Very flaky, not much hold, smells awful.

Kevin Murphy Hair Resort - Expensive but for a reason. This stuff is pretty badass, Kevin Murphy makes good stuff all the time for the $$$. Gives the hair that feeling you get after swimming in a pool or ocean also super light and easy to wash out. Not a lot of hold, smells good.

Enjoy Volumizing Mousse - My go to mousse at the moment. Great value, smells okay, great hold, great volume, pretty damn sticky for a mousse so use sparingly. If anything it's too strong for a mousse. If I could get what it offers in a lighter product it would be perfect

Nexxus Volumizing Mousse - Seemed pretty good, generic smell, washes out easy, not too heavy but Enjoy is better.

KMS Hair Sprays - This brand is like the go to for hair sprays. They make a ton of different kinds for hold, volume, shine, etc. I tried the volume and it was pretty good and the smell wasn't bad.

Neuma Styling Clay - Organic brand, good hold, washes out easy, low shine, smells amazing. Best for shorter hair so I had to stop using it.

Pureology Colour Stylist Fortifying Heat Spray - Good for those of us who like to blow dry or straighten our hair. Could even be used to give the hair a little more body and shine if you don't like styling products. Not much of a smell.

Haha, this man thinks Bieber represents short sides and long tops for the world!

Point and laugh!

 

[Cake Boss]

Looking to get away from the texturizer gel I use, gives me too many flakes and itches the scalp, anyone got any suggestions on an acohol free texturizing gel with a strong strong hold?

Currently using this.

Hanz De Fuko Gel Triq is supposed to be pretty good.

 

[maxxpower]

I can't pull off any of these hairstyles because I'm ugly as fuck. =[

 

[Horse Detective]

Oh no...

I've fucked the OP. I didn't save the then current one either. No pictures or anything. Well, guess I know what I will be doing for the next half hour.

Thnx will try it out.

Man, what's up with everybody getting the same haircut these days? You know which one I'm talking about... the sides shaved (or almost) and the top much longer and combed back...

 

[Horse Detective]

I could actually use some photos of cuts that are not a variation of this.

I am upgrading the OP so these would be very helpful

They all decided to be James Dean or something. It's not the first time a particular styling has dominated male hair.

I know if you start to add variations, it encompasses A LOT of styles, but I'm mostly talking about this:

With the top either completely combed, or slightly messy or curly. It seems to be quite common these days, as faux hawks were a few years ago (I still rock that one though, but then again I've been doing so for many years now lol..)

 

[luckyboyceo]

Anyone have any opinions on Baxter hard water pomade? My barber recommended this to me and I like it quite a bit. Good hold, although struggles with longer hair. Interested to see if anyone else has opinions.

Pretty sure you're talking about an undercut, and yes, they have been quite the rage recently.

I just want this ;(

But since I'm asian and the sides of my hair stick out.. the chances of me being able to do that are slim to nil.

 

[FiRez]

I remember when I was able to try different hair styles

...sigh

Here's a few long ones.

If you like it then who care what anyone else thinks. I like Baxter though they make good stuff and they have a barbershop in LA. I've found that the longer your hair gets the more you have to transition to women's products because they are more suited for that.

 

[Dice]

That's one of the few looks I'd be able to do. My hair is so extremely fine it hates cooperating with any concept that relies on body and on the sides it goes back like that. Though, it's rather colorless so I'd have to highlight it to get that kind of blonde. Thing is I wear headphones too much and in the winter use too many hats and hoods to have anything that could get messed up.

 

[btrboyev]

I hear ya. I have a full head of hair but the way it is, none of these styles would work on me. I have a large forehead and can't grow side burns/facial hair.

Oh definitely, I was mostly just curious to see if the results varied for anyone else.

Never thought about transitioning to women's products but that totally makes sense. I don't foresee my hair getting THAT long anytime soon, but that's a good tip incase I find myself trying something different.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

That's me, too, but I can still make some of these work. Go outside your comfort zone and try a few of the styles! You might be surprised.

I prefer to think of them as unisex. I mean, it's just mousse how can that be gender specific.

I feel like you are underplaying your genetically gifted follicles.

Speaking of this.. Does anyone know of any other picture previews from inside this cover issue? Not asking for scans... Just if there were any previews GQ put out that I'm not aware of. I am trying to get other angles for a barber.

Honestly, if I could grow a beard and a mustache I might be able to pull off these hairstyles. It sucks because all the men in my family(my dad my brothers) can grow some awesome full beards but I can't and I'm 23. =[

 

[Horse Detective]

I fixed it! I fixed the OP!

 

[luckyboyceo]

Nice job, Sean. OP looks great.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Are you not gonna put the layrite/suavecit/am. crew/hanz stuff back in? Those are pretty popular right now.

 

[Horse Detective]

I can put my original reviews back in too, but I have yet to try the layrite and other hanz products. Ill scavenge this thread for opinions on either.

 

[Ahasverus]

Is there any stylist or good tasted gaffer in here? I'd love someadvice for my hair, I'm kinda desperate right now, no cut seems to fit me, yet I'm more than sure that I'm good looking and I just need a helping hand, I've had it long cut straight curvy and all in between yet I'm stuck, please help me beautyGAF!

 

[Rookje]

The thing I hate the most is I like how its styled as I walk out the door, but give it a few hours and my cowlicks fuck it all up.

I can put stuff that holds it in place (like Layrite), but then I get too much of a "slicked back" look. Ugh.

I know that feeling it's so frustrating and makes doing any kind of styling feel pointless.
