    Trying to get a look like one of these photos below. I suppose they take a bit of management. 90s American movie star look. There might have been a time when these were considered a style, but nowadays these guys would be seen to need a haircut. You never see styles like this anymore!

    The Problem with hair that length is that in order to look good, this really needs a hairdresser to look after it...not just a barber.

    Full length hair you just tie up in the back and you're done...that length needs managing or it looks like you're wearing a mop.

    As a bald man, my heart absolutely bleeds for those with these kind of problems.

    The horror of looking like you are wearing a mop. A mop of beautiful, thick, defying the ravages of time hair.

    I've let my hair grow since December 2019. I was going to get a haircut in February 2020, but thought "Nah".

    The beard has gone completely white.

    The head hair, previously dark has started falling out in handfuls and there is downy white hair underneath.

    A fair point.
    Like looking at the Sean Penn hair it looks cool and you'd think all it is is just letting your hair grow out. But as you say you'd probably find out Penn was going to the hairdresser's all the time.

    But op give it a shot. You've only got two options on lockdown. Let it grow out and buzz cut. I am rocking the buzz cut myself.

    Go with the Hasselhoff look and add in a pornstache.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭Filmer Paradise


    tis hard to find anybody to cut hair like that nowadays.

    They've forgotten how to do it.:confused:

    The skills have been lost.

    Most fellas nowadays are happy with some sort of laughable 'buzz cut'.

    No 1 on the sides & 2 on the top.:rolleyes:

    If I had perfect hair (I don't). Mine would be like the guy off dazed and confused. I also like Eddie vedders 92 hair


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,424 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    I got mine cut just before lockdown, getting rather “unruly” at this stage. Hoping to get it done again as soon as possible but it’s just another sacrifice we have to make in these unprecedented times.

    Really hope to see the majority of men back in the barbers when things “open up” again. There are few things worse on a man than long, curly, hair and an raggedy, unkempt, beards. Well, bootcut jeans, obviously.

    I’ve noticed a large number of gross beards poking out from behind the masks when I’m out shopping and, quite frankly, I don’t like it. Unhygienic and unsightly.

    The trick with three month hair is not to touch it just leave the bed head scuffy look.

    Me, I'm thinking about a look between Tom Jones and David Hasselhoff, if I make a balls of it then it's Terry Savalas time with the cutter.

    Traffic collides when I cross the road. Onlookers stop and stare. Crowds gather in midnight vigils with pictures of me. The Pope himself expressed a huge sermon to my attractiveness in the Vatican.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious

    My OH is cut my hair the week before last with a professional trimmers, and it was a pretty good job for someone who is not a barber.

    The hair was getting unruly - as the others opined, if you were to grow your hair out some sort of styling would be required for it to look well.

    As for me - I’m toying with the idea of growing it shoulder length again, the first time sine 1998, when I cut it very short after my long haired college years. But my partner would never like that! Only now I’ve got the salt and pepper colouring...

    It's strange how the pandemic has changed my hair cuts for no obvious reason - my wife has cut my hair for years. Always had short shorn trims but for a laugh during the first lockdown, she decided to give me a funky asymmetrical cut and I've left the top grow longer than its been in decades. I have a shock of grey hair now and I love it!

    I've also become quite handy at keeping her hair in shape.

    We're like monkeys, grooming each other!
