Young men haircut trends

    Why does nearly every young man in Ireland have that sort of GAA/soccer player haircut? With it short at the sides, and the gradual blend in a length between sides and top. I don't know what it's called, but I think yer man McGregor influences a lot of it too. Even Ryan Turbridy sort of has it now.

    It actually doesn't look that bad a all, but I'm just sick of seeing them. It's like they've no imagination. These cuts definitely weren't around 10 years back. It's almost as if the kind of James Bond (Daniel Craig & Sean Connery) haircut wouldn't be cool now. I guess if you want to convince your peers that you're in touch with the times, you'd be better of with one of these haircuts.

    And when I'm getting my hair cut, I often fear that the foreign hair dressers are going to start doing that sh1t with it! Anyway, at the rate things are going, we could be seeing the likes of Joe Duffy with one of these!

    Baldness is nature’s way of stopping young fellas getting stupid haircuts.

    I was thinking the Kim Jong Un might be the next trend but no, the German infantry haircut came in from nowhere.

    Connery did not have a wig
    Apparently, Connery had the style and charisma required for Bond, however, what Sir Sean Connery didn’t have was hair. The legendary actor started going bald at a very early age. In fact, he was only 21-years-old when he began losing his hair, and by the time he was in his early 30s and was cast for Dr. No, he had to wear a hairpiece.

    He was never ashamed of the fact that he started losing his hair too early and he often showed up with his bald spot at press meetings. However, the role of James Bond required an absolutely styled haircut, so Mr. Connery had to wear a hairpiece in every single James Bond movie he starred.

    He's what now?

    Because all young people these days are hipsters!

    1) "Oh so and so has this, I MUST HAVE IT!"

    2) "OMG I BOUGHT MY IPHONE LAST MONTH BUT THE NEW ONE IS OUT NEXT WEEK I MUST BUY IT!!"

    3) "Dial-up? What's that???"

    Admittedly 1 and 2 aren't exclusive to the 'young people' demographic but.....

    Btw in case anyone's interested, I'm 29 going on 90..... with a bad hip and going bald... and a walking stick!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12


    Yeh theyre ridiculously common, its crazy that 40-50% of the male poulation under like 35 have the EXACT same haircut. But anyway, looks very smart and well groomed imo. It doesnt suit me for some reason :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,199 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    The more fashion evolves the more people all look the same.

    It's a disgrace is what it is. A God damn disgrace.

    Is short back and sides a new trend??? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,647 ✭✭✭lazybones32


    I see quite a few young lads and my first thought is'i'd love to give you a haircut'.

    Fashion, trends and fads...just tell them that they'll turn into their dad and they'll marry a woman like their mom and that'll even up the annoyance factor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 535 ✭✭✭bob50


    The name of the new haircut is called a " Skin Fade" All the youngfellas are getting this


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭Your Face


    People have little to be getting upset about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,640 ✭✭✭andekwarhola


    Young people have haircuts and older people get annoyed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,962 ✭✭✭r93kaey5p2izun


    Yes the SS haircut has been ubiquitous for a while now. Tbf I've seen a lot worse and it suits most fellas well enough.
