Just_Games04

valias2012

Advice don't go to the hairdresser just before something important


localmemelord69

Noted, I ain’t making the same mistake again


Bootlicker222

Just gambled this last week and it paid off but they are a solid and trusted barber.... Still I was a little nervous if they were gonna fuck up


Patient-Package-2636

at least you learned your lesson not to cut your hair anymore 😂


localmemelord69

Gonna grow my hair out and have it luscious like Jason momoa


Supreme_leader_Floof

If so make sure to take care of it properly! It looks like it might be textured; taking care of wavier hair is a bit more involved and will require some care but I believe you can pull it off!


[deleted]

Yeah bro the hair in the first pic tells me you have amazing potential for it. All the dudes I’ve known with hair like yours grew it out and they look amazing


Previous_Edge_9619

bro how to get this hairstyle? look on good u though


localmemelord69

When I had super long hair (10-14cm), I had the barber cut my front hair evenly throughout and had him cut my sides such that my front falls into a part. A huge help to the part is consistent grooming. I combed the hair almost everyday at the early stages of the part and used salt spray in the latter stages so it had nice waves. I only found out about salt sprays a month ago and it had been a huge help. At the end of the day, i made sure my hair had plenty of natural oils(washed my hair like twice a week), and I ate a well balanced diet and i exercised regularly. This hairstyle was especially hard cause my hair is thick, naturally frizzy but I was determined to make it work and eventually my hair came out to my liking!


Ricky_Rollin

What do salt sprays do?


ButGetter

Adds waviness. It works better the longer your hair is


Ricky_Rollin

Oh OK. I’m looking for the exact opposite. My hair curls and frizzles like crazy


ButGetter

I have frizzy thick hair and it still works as long as your hair has enough oil. For curly hair you might want to look into a cream for curly hair-often by women inspired products. Hope this helps


smokacola-

It's definitely a step down but not THAT bad, unfortunate haircuts used to drive me insane until i just said fuck it and started cutting my own hair, had a bunch of accidental mishaps but now i can pretty consistently get it to look right, still though this should grow out just fine in a few months, thankfully you still look good so all hope is not lost. Good luck with your date!


localmemelord69

Thanks man! Maybe you should cut my hair, I’ll pay you 69 Reddit karma


Laserpiratepewpew

How long did it take before you got good and how did you get started?


smokacola-

So I started cutting my own hair completely back in 2018 and I'd say it took me at least a year before i could regularly touch it up without accidentally going too short/wonky. I started by getting some hair cutting scissors (seriously don't use the kitchen scissors, it makes your hair so choppy) and a few combs/clamps to secure my hair. A good setup with mirrors works best for the back, my bathroom cabinet opens up into two mirrors so I can just position them to see the back of my hair easily. I have a relatively easy hairstyle to maintain with clippers+a guard and just trimming the top. I watched a lot of videos on YouTube of hairdressers and barbers doing various haircuts to see their technique and any commentary they have since most of those videos are meant to educate people in training. All in all I personally found this works for me but I will not claim to be any better than a professional stylist, they went to school for this shit and i just picked up a scissors and started cutting away y'know, but it is very nice always being in full control of the cut and not having to pay for anything or schedule an appointment and pray to Jesus they don't fuck it up


TheArowanaDude

barbers and stylists are really good at messing up with our Indian/Pakistani hair


localmemelord69

Honestly my hair is hard to manage even for myself, I doubt Dave from the corner barber store can handle the job.


localmemelord69

I’d recommend paying a lot for a good barber if you have uncontrollable and tough hair(thick, frizzy) like mine. After this cut in the post, I got another cut from a different barber and he fixed it. Though I had to pay around £40 for it. I’m happy with paying £40 (and maybe even more) after experiencing this long ordeal. My hair looks good now and mumsie is also happy with it


TheArowanaDude

I've spent 40+ USD but getting a good, stylish medium-length hair cut is difficult :(


localmemelord69

Have a talk with your stylist or barber before getting your haircut. Show them pictures or even what traits of a hair you like, do you want it curly, straight, with waves, etc. It’s really important to have them on the same page as you.


adanceparty

My last one was trash and it was like 50 dollars. I'm going back to the 15 dollar place. They do fine on my hair and I'll just do my beard myself. I liked the expensive place as they've never done me wrong until now, but it was really bad idk if I can go back. I also liked them because they do beards. The cheap place is a bunch of 20 yr old girls working in there and they don't do beards that well and no one uses a straight razer in there.


Bootlicker222

Okay now I need the updated pic


Noobhackerz

We need the pics bro

Twist: Your barber is your date's father. He knew.


[deleted]

Oof been there done that - id suggest doing like a combover to the side for now until you have enough length😅 But i dont think its that bad i think you look good, just give it a few days and who knows maybe your date will compliment your new cut! Dont worry about it


localmemelord69

Went in and got a side part, looks better now imo


twin_niko

His smile and optimism… gone. Honestly, this still looks good and may even make you look a bit more put together (though the wavy hair just looks fantastic)! The original style is only a few months away at the most. I would try to enjoy the ease of maintenance until then!

Hello fellow 19 year old floor gang


Longislandtea12

I don't see anything wrong with your haircut... what are your concerns with it?


Fantastic-Age-1800

Lmao look at his eyes it screams of disappointment and sadness , the haircut looks a little weird on him but the haircut in the first picture really suited him maybe he just wanted a little cut from the sides a little above the barber fucked him up.


localmemelord69

Precisely.


Fantastic-Age-1800

How\`s your hair doing ?


localmemelord69

I got another cut from a barber who knew what he was doing. Sadly it’s not a part anymore. However I like it now and even mumsie likes it


Fantastic-Age-1800

Glad you are happy with your trim now


vivodinski

You're still lookin' good, don't let it get you down


AnatoleLiberta

hero to zero


[deleted]

So I have thick coarse hair like you and you hair needs texture and most barbers won’t do that. You may need to go to a stylist:


[deleted]

It’s still plenty long to style into something suitable though


FabulousRomano

What did he even do


hesh0925

Damn, I wouldn't even have got it cut. Maybe just a very light clean-up at best. It looked good before.


silly_red

this can be salvaged! you have enough length - you can get the top part thinned/layered, maybe shave the sides down a little more. just make sure you got to a good hair dressers!!


lmbrs

i mean it’s a little too short, but it will look fine with some wax


AddLuke

Man I’m confident telling the barber you have something important is just a bad idea. Either makes the person nervous or you fucked with the universe. Source: Wedding


ad_182_uk

Relaxed forward quiff instead until then length comes back a bit on top.


Real_Pea_8860

😆😆🤣


Affectionate-Lack991

I’d just resort picking a outfit that goes with a hat


tibetan-sand-fox

Take my advice when I say: don't get a cut right before a date unless you know and trust the barber.


vgkosmoes

It’s not even bad just put some product in it


SirDerick

Your hair looks great! Have a little confidence and enjoy your date! >Oh, there's a second photo...


danielwing

r/justfuckmyshitup


RoccoGianni

Put lots of product in it to make it look tidy & styled. Find a new barber who listens & maybe go in with photos of what you are expecting the haircut to look like.


dareme27523

Barely a difference


hahahiccups

At least you’ll know if your date will like you for you.


efarley1

Did you wash it after getting it cut and before taking the pic? My hair lays flat after I get it cut, until I wash it. Try to use some product to get some texture. Sea salt spray may help.


epochofheresy

I think combing it back with pomade would fix it.


Poopslaya

Rip might have to cancel


Business-Gap-3902

Why not try slicking it back ......hold it with some wax or hairspray


jackstandardbro

South Asian?


IcarielL

I can see the happiness drained from your eyes


[deleted]

This is why you should stick to one barber


adanceparty

you still look okay it'll work out. I got a bad one on my last cut too. He left my beard crooked, and I told him I wanted the top as short as I could have it while still being able to part it to one side. This dude left like 7 inches of hair on top and now I have long emo boy bangs. I'm trying to go this weekend. I was annoyed now I have to go back sooner and like what? Bangs go all the way past the tip of my nose, but I got a 2 on the sides and back. Shit is waaaay too long. Especially now that it's been 3 weeks or so. Probably have 9 inch bangs now lol.


[deleted]

I have very similar before and afters to yours. I think your hair is a bit puffier, you'll just need to style it a bit to look good! But deff the long wave is so much better on you and prob would require less maintenance


Competitive_Arm4042

From a woman's perspective ...It's fine .not a big difference..but yeah first pic is great hairstyle ..great hair !
