    Hey guys, recently starting balding and it's moving a a fairly rapid rate, I'm not quite ready for the buzz cut so I've being doing some research into alternate styles.

    http://blogs.independent.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/1506711531.jpg

    Unfortunately the above is the best look for me at the moment, how can I get that cut but also avoid bringing that picture into my barber.

    Thank you

    Shear a cat and glue the fur to your head. No one will know difference

    Short back and sides.

    It's more than that though,there's a slight fade and it blends will with his beard. Need the right terminology or else I'll have to bring the picture

    Bring the picture. As long as you're not getting your hair cut in Oslo, the average barber won't be too bothered.

    Tell him to give you a free Charles Manson swastika with the goovy new haircut. Bring your own Bowie knife and you might get money off and a free trip to the police station.

    I guess it's a case of how much you want that haircut OP. Either bring the pic and take that comes with that or try describe it as best you can and maybe walk out with something different. Choices Choices.

    Barbers have periods every day where they have no clients and nothing to do but read the complementary newspapers. There's a good chance they'll know who it is, then the gossip spreads and Chinese whispers turns me into that child killer fella

    Fcuk that..

    Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson, Bill Belushi etc etc are all men that when they started to recede, said fcuk it and kept some length in their locks. Shaving your head or cutting it really tight is just conforming man.. fcuk that sh1t. I'm not saying go full Bill Baily, if you're slap head on top, you have to Picard the fcuker, no option, but otherwise, be a bit more devil may care.. otherwise you could lose your character. Just imagine Bill Murray with a shaved head ffs.

    All talented men but I'm 23 so probably best not to aim to look like Bill Murray

    Unless he appeared on Wish You Were Here...? with Judith Chalmers, no barber on earth would have a clue who he is.

    Are you going to have the chinstrap beard to go with it? Cos Breivek did for that what Hitler did to the toothbrush moustache.

    You're right of course. Explaining to the barber that you want your haircut similar to a man in a photo who looks nothing like you will lead him to mistake you for the man in the picture who's locked up in another country.

    He's a barber not a plastic surgeon.

    I'll probably grow it all the way out, I think the beard/bald look works good. I don't want to look like Breivik I just want his haircut.

    I think I'll go for the bushy look myself, I got shafted totally hair genetics wise and I'm going grey as well. Try to picture the Breivik haircut with something along the lines of this

    Personally I don't care but going bald is a very touchy issue for some men, probably best not to make jokes until you know
