Welcome back, Sean. I was beginning to think you were gone for good.
Damn. What part of the country do you live in?
Looks good, dude. I'd continue to grow out the top and keep the sides/back short. Nice cut all around though.
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
Thanks guys

I'm trying to grow this out, which has become problematic.

Question for hair experts, is it bad to shampoo and condition your hair every day? I always shampoo my hair if there's product in it to get it out but not sure on the conditioner.

Looks almost identical to the first photo in the "hairspiration" section on the first page. That's a good thing, I love that cut.

Post a larger picture. Can't really tell from your avatar.
Nay like that, but you have a ton of length so you should be able to do a lot of things with your hair.Welp, since I came here might as well ask
This is my hair at it's natural state. Yay or nay?

40 for a cut. If you go try to ask for Daniel Alfonso to cut your hair.

I second the Alfonso recommendation. I really dig his videos and would love to hear how a cut from him turns out.

It's probably gonna take me a few weeks to get settled but I'll be sure to show you guys the results.

I had almost the same haircut for 28 years, time for a change! I will post a photo of my manly hair later today and ask you guys for suggestions. I would love to get this hair though:
No, I'm not Asian.
This is a great cut, I want to try this one as well.

Yo Midnights, does that Baxter Finley shop have any relation to the Baxter of California products? Is it their shop?
EDIT: Just looked up the site. I'm an idiot. Of course it is.
I just picked up some of the Baxter Clay Pomade today so I'll try mixing the two tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Man, white folks have it good. My (Asian) sides start getting really ugly once they begin growing out
Haha... Welcome to my world. Just cut your hair shorter on the sides frequently. Also make sure to use product on the sides. it helps.

Better yet just buzz it all off, to hell with Asian sides.

Very late getting back to you guys on this but I'm still working on the hair. The pic below is this morning, my hair is getting a bit long again but I am getting it cut in a week. I've been using the American Crew molding paste and it helps my hair lay down and stay in a style, but I am still trying to find out the style to do. I told the stylist last time to replicate the Gosling a bit and recommended the razor length someone here mentioned, she said that would be a bit short and to try one up and go shorter if needed next time.
I'm not sure what to do, or if the stylist just can't replicate it well. I usually come out of there with wet hair so I really can't tell what it looks like until it dries a bit. She puts the paste in there, but I usually hate the look until it dries.
Note: It looked better brushed to the side when shorter. I'm just making it work now until cut day.

I feel ya, half asian here. Always been jealous of that hair that just lays flat when its short. It would make everything so much easier...Man, white folks have it good. My (Asian) sides start getting really ugly once they begin growing out

That's the only way. So either do it or no point in complaining. Had the same feeling as you a few months ago.

You guys are tripping, denim jackets are like the easiest thing to wear.
Also, to make this more hair-oriented, tried mixing the Baxter Clay Pomade with the Hard Water Pomade and it was fantastic. Really love how much control I have over my hair with the clay pomade. My part looks SUPER clean too, way cleaner than when I was just using the hard water pomade. Love the fact that I don't have to mess with my hair throughout the day as well. I still need to perfect how much of each to use of course.

Had a nightmare last night that I went to get a cut and the guy totally botched me up. That must be what it's like to go to supercuts except you can't wake up in the end.

Read the title of this video as "how to style BACK hair" and thought that this thread got really weird all of a sudden. Glad to see I was wrong.
That's a hot cut though.
On another note, I really like how informative Jesse Minty's videos are.

I always support changing it up, after all it's just hair, it will grow back. With that said I think the style you currently have suits you and your hair pretty well.
If anything, I'd keep the length on top and experiment with a shorter length on the side/back, like you said.
