Eck, I always thought that was just loads of pomade.

I'll try this for a couple weeks maybe, but I still don't think it is a sanitary idea.

That's honestly around 5+ products, probably 45 minutes of work for 1-2 professionals. Plus professional lighting and photographer.

Nine times out of ten he wears a hat in candids. And when he doesn't, it looks like this:

or this:

I can believe he doesn't wash it, it does look greasy. But when it's professionally styled it does add a lot of luster and body you wouldn't normally have if he washed it all the time.

3 months of traveling and just a trim on the sides the whole time.
New hair cut time!

 

[Boken]

got my haircut

i like it

 

[Illithid Dude]

Alright guys, my hair is about 4 1/2 inches long on the top, probably about 2 inches on the side, and is wavy, with slight curls on the sides. What should I do?

When I get like that I enjoy an off center part and then accentuate the waves.

I think mine is a little bit longer here but that's the gist.

edit: also the curls at the sides are awesome, try twisting them into your fingers and see how it looks with your face shape.

 

[Boken]

Dear team,

My annoying as hair beats out clay and hair spray together.

Is there anything better? Am I doing it wrong? Which pomade has the best hold?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Just use more product. That's the first step. Then move on to stronger product.

 

[Boken]

Ok so what's the strongest pomade?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Ok so what's the strongest pomade?

That's pretty subjective. Some people say Murrays, some say Layrite, some say Suavecito, some say some other obscure brands. I can tell you it's not american crew for sure that stuff sucks.

 

[Johnlenham]

Ok so what's the strongest pomade?

I have suavecto firm (however its spelt) and it was stupildy strong. Id go as far as saying too strong as it would dry and turn rock hard which just looks bad frankly.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I don't see the appeal in pomade. It's sticky and hard to wash out. Never looked good for me but I guess some other people could pull it off.

 

[Boken]

I just heard it has great hold

whats with all this hard water, soft water, cream and slick pomade stuff yo

 

[Rehynn]

Water-based pomades wash out just like gel, and I wouldn't even characterize them as sticky. The look is subjective, I personally love the slick, shiny look.

Have any of you guys used Rogaine? My family has a long tradition of bald men, I'm going to see if I can break that tradition. Currently using Rogaine, thickening shampoo, and taking lots of vitamins, calcium and biotin

I seriously just bought Rogain (well the equate kind) yesterday. I'm 24 but it feels and looks like my is getting thinner by the minute. I want to stop it before it gets bad.

 

[Horse Detective]

Gonna try some Dr. Bronners magic soap. Will report in.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Damn was that guy from Mad Men's hairline always this bad?

meanwhile the perfect hairline.

Since S5, the actor's shaved back his natural hairline to convey the character's professional and personal stress. It looks more hilariously exaggerated with each passing episode.

Dat dedication to the craft, though.

I would never.

 

[Horse Detective]

I don't know why, but thinking about him shaving it for the show just makes me cringe so hard. I saw a picture floating around of his hairline stubble at its normal height.

Dat dedication, but man I would never do that.

Aren't you balding though?

 

[Horse Detective]

Yeah my hairline receded seemingly beyond repair, until I started using Dr. Bronner's magic soap. Now it is back to the perfect height above my eyebrows.

WTF... I'm only halfway into season 2 of the show. Didn't expect Campbell to look like that in later seasons.

It's pretty awesome that that stuff actually works.

No it really just beats other shampoos by not removing as much of the oils, at least from what I have seen.

What exactly is this? I just checked out the website and they don't seem to sell any shampoos. Which product exactly do you use? My hairline isn't receding but if what you say is true then there's no harm in trying it out.

I was just joking with him.

Bronner's magic soap is an 18 in one. You can wash most things from your hair, to your floors. It's organic and uses hemp seed oil. So far I have have used it as shampoo, face wash, body wash, and a cleaner for plastic products. As a face wash it has been incredible good. I have also enjoyed it as a shampoo, just because it doesn't leave my hair feeling dry and fluffy.

Haha OK, I was gonna say that stuff sounds incredible if it reversed your receding hairline.

Anyway I might check it out sometime down the line.

Oh OK, I wasn't sure

 

[Tawpgun]

Alright, I need some help. I've never really liked my hair, but its only been getting worse. My hairline blows and I'm starting to thin/lose some, especially along the sides/temple region.

I have thick, curly hair and feel like I can't do anything with it. Is there anyway I can make it look decent?

This is how I normally have it. I usually don't do much to my hair. Just kinda put it down. Low maintenance.

This is just to get an idea of what the hairline is.

 

[freshair]

Anyone have recommendations for low shine, high/firm hold product?

I'm currently using a mixture of Baxter Clay and American Crew Fiber. There's a few strands (held together with product) of my hair in the front that doesn't adhere to the rest of the hair and kind of dangles down on my forehead.

I've tried finishing it off with hairspray and a blowdryer as well, but nothing. I might just cut those strand short as a last ditch effort.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Try American Crew Forming Cream? I personally prefer their pomade but it does have a slight shine to it. The hold is great though.

What's the best place to get Hanz De Fuko stuff? I got the quicksand one last time from Amazon, but it looks like its not on there anymore.

The only place ive seen it is on this hair product site that comes up if you google it. Think its like £23 a go though.


That feel when the barber isnt your usual one and your desprate enough to chance it.

Didnt really listen to what I said and talked about how shitty his life was rather than spending time sorting it out.

Feel like I need it recut and its only been a week...whats annoying is there are 4 guys there.
One is my usual guy hes knows whats up, stays open longer to cut my hair and is pretty chill, then another who is really good but hard to talk with to pass the time then the owner whos abit of a dick but cuts well and last is the dude who cut my hair. Not that great but is ok to chat with..

That's the one product I've ran out of in my arsenal, hah. I'll have to re-up it and give it a shot.

I just bought it off their site. Not sure if the code works but DATV gave me 15% off. They also send a sample of one of their other products to try.

Ice cold but so true. Even if the barber botches the cut it'll look better than his current mop.

Godspeed freshair and post pictures after your cut.

 

[Illithid Dude]

Blow-dried my hair today. It's a revelation.

Sweet, thanks. Looks like I get to save on shipping. I think I'm going to give the sponge wax a try this time too.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Did LBCEO ever get those highlights? I'm thinking of doing it but I'm not sure if it's worth the price.

 

[wenis]

whats the point where you guys realize "now is the time for a haircut".

I wish I could afford regular trimmings, but I can't so I have to wait for the back bottom portion of my hair and the sides to start "pillowing" as my stylists have used that term before.

That's when I know it is time for a haircut.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Going to go for a cut tomorrow. Now that I have started growing a beard, I can play with more styles i.e more experimental. Going to google some pictures to take with me.

Or I could wait and just let it grow to something like this;

True, but I have had long hair before. I can pull it off, and It will be even more glorious with a beard. But too much maintenance for me. I am still going for a cut tomorrow. I will probably experiment with the longer style this winter.

 

[wenis]

It probably helps that his hair is thick and straight. That's how he gets those layers of long strands of hair. If it was wavy or thin, that wouldn't work out too well.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Just got a cut inspired by this style. Working out pretty well.

 

[Horse Detective]

Sweet!

Not fond of the back of that cut, but the rest looks awesome. I wish I had black hair like that.
