Hmm, never thought about them running a line like that. I'm retooling my hair a bit next week, I'll ask about it.

Why the long case?
I thought of it before, but never asked because I thought it would be a stupid question, since it seems like that sort of cut would make the hair around the part grow weird.
Who knows. The example I saw before having them do mine the same way was done 3 weeks prior. Looked fantastic.

You got that at a barber? Damn, where do you live? Barbers here are basically one or two style cuts. Nothing remotely fancy.

Orlando. The cut is actually just a variation of the fades they give to any other customer.

Using a razor on the part is not unheard of. I see it a lot in videos and it helps make those super clean looking parts like Sean's.
Also, I thought I was in hair heaven but god damn look at his haircut. It's perfect.

Sorry no one responded to your post. Those pictures look cool.
If your saying your face is ugly than I seriously, seriously doubt that.
Your hair looks akin to that of a model. So thick and stylish, feel proud dude.

Nah I was talking about my adventure time-esque censorship face.

I never know what to do with my hair. Any suggestions for curly/wavy? I usually just get it trimmed textured and when I ask the stylist they just say they like it the way I'm already doing it... I always have trouble finding styles online too.
I don't use product because it usually makes it worse and won't hold. I just form it with a hair dryer. The above pics are bed head brushed forward with my hands.

I unfortunately have no suggestions, but I just wanted to say that your hair in those pictures is probably better than anything that's been posted in the last few pages.

Whaaaattt?
There are a lot of good dos, but I just like that somewhat messy yet somewhat styled look that he has.

Come on man be reasonable. That cut is pretty vanilla. Doesn't look bad but it's not better than everything else posted here.
I agree it's vanilla. It's not better than everything posted. I didn't say that, but it is better than the last few pages.

I respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree.
Nice. Thank you for disagreeing respectfully and wholeheartedly. I really appreciate it.
What do you guys think of Usher's haircut? His barber calls it "South of France"
I've been growing my hair out for a couple months and I think i'm gonna go ahead and get it done next week. I always cut my hair really short but I figure I might as well try something new after 20 years of the same thing.

Speaking of Hans de Fuko, I really like this style...

...but it doesn't appear that the E.POX.E is available. Not on their website nor on Amazon.
Would the Hybridized Wax suffice, or should I also go for the Scheme Creme or something? It says the E.POX.E is a very strong hold, so is there a suitable substitute out there for it?
EDIT: Looks like the Gel Triq is probably the best alternative.

Your hair has lots of potential. I think growing it out, at least on top, would allow you lots more options than what you can currently do. It doesn't have to be an extreme length, but maybe get another inch or two on top there and see what happens?I never know what to do with my hair. Any suggestions for curly/wavy? I usually just get it trimmed textured and when I ask the stylist they just say they like it the way I'm already doing it... I always have trouble finding styles online too.

As a matter of fact you could probably do what BertramCooper posted right above me. I bet that would work well with your hair.

Well, here's how it turned out. Came out good and I think I can do a lot more with it long on top instead of my usual. Thanks for the inspirational pics.

Looks like they use a razor to part his hair in that video similar to what Sean was talking about yesterday. I'm going to see if my barber can do that with my next cut.
I wasn't a fan of that cut until he styled it, but it ended up looking pretty good.

I'll probably try that video posted above. It's what I usually get except his sides are shorter. As for growing it out I've had it down to my eyes when pulled straight and it just becomes a mop and hard to control. It might work if I had the sides cut short though and the right product.

Accept no substitutes.
Outside the US it might be a little hard, I'll try my best. Which are the most popular/common brands that offer a nice quality?
luckyboyceo

Off the top of my head, Bumble & Bumble, American Crew, Baxter, Hanz de Fuko.
Midnights posted a lot of good reviews in the OP, you should check those out and write down some brand names.

I like it the way it is now. I wouldn't change anything.
Sean, your hair looks awesome. Yours too Midnight. A lot of good haircuts in here.
I'm too afraid of trying something fancy. Playing safe is the way to go. (no confidence)
I'm 99% sure I won't find that around here lol.

What product is everyone using to avoid the flaky, hard gel look?
What do you guys use to get your hair to style and stay firm without having it as hard as a rock and shiny as heck?

Well, where do you live? Maybe I can do some research.
Sounds like you want high hold and low shine. That's best achieved through wax or clay/paste.
luckyboyceo
Member
Probably some sort of clay. I bought Baxter's clay pomade not too long ago and it pretty much fits the bill for what you're looking for. Strong hold, matte finish.
Bam Bam Baklava

I wonder why they call all their styling products pomade at the end. Like why don't they just call it styling clay.
Guatemala, you won't find a thing. That's shy asked about popular brands, since that's what I hope to get. Thanks for the help Midnights, you too lucky.

Some of those guys must be styling parts of their hair with straighteners, right?
Anybody ever used Gatsby Moving Rubber? Been using the grey one for a long time now and it's great, even for my stubborn hair.
