I need a hair cut

Lads, be grateful you don't colour or highlight your hair, at least you don't have roots to worry about.

Mine's a good 2 inches now which is longer than I've had it in years. It grows mad fast. Could be using the beard trimmer on my head before this is over.

Reckon most users “boasting” about their facial hair will be coming out of this whole thing with a “beard” like the one shown below:

Super gluing pubes to your face does not count as a beard. :pac:

Me personally, i'm wearing a hoody to hide it but is only temporary fix.



When will our front line hair dressers be back at work?

Get a professional scissors ..get a proper clippers with tapers etc


Proper clippers have a lever to open and close the blades for tapering ..then also get some blade guards...

If you ask for a no 1 or 3 cut etc that is your blade guard for the majority of your cut. Then you taper or fade it..with the clippers.

Closed lever with no guard is a 0 ...halfway open with no guard is 1/4 ...full open is 1/2

Then you put guards ...if you put a 2 blade guard ...and have the lever closed ..thats a 2 ..if you put 2 with the lever open you get 1 1/2 etc etc

You blend a 2 into a 1 1/2 into a 1 1/4

that way you create your 'blending or fading'

You can go a bit over with a comb and scissors ..if you are confident. ( erm look up a youtube vid about that ..its hard to explain)

Don't go for cheap clippers. Some clippers will have even more levels you can open etc ..and make it easier for you.

If you really MUST use an old scissors ( and i don't recommend it) ..sharpen it ..but make sure its evenly sharp along the blade.

Its possible to do a gents cut just using a clippers if you find it easier...i don't think it turns out as nice though. Personal pref

Got herself to shave my head the other night, 2 around the sides 6 on top. Done it in around 8 minutes. My local barber is 17 euro, I don't think I'll be returning.

I got my wife to shave mine, if yer just doing a number 1 all over it's hard to mess it up.

I then coloured her hair which took a fair bit more time.

I've given myself a no 1 all round, I love it, but I think I'm the only one

Having the barber in is an essential service for any gentleman, what else would one do with ones Saturday morning on the terrace.

A crisp Times and a cut of Darjeeling just don't cut the mustard on their own, you know.

cept for perms ...you can colour your own hair ..you can cut your own hair ..dont ever perm your own hair.

And whatever you do...never fight a man with a perm!

why? id say the barber loved that. as if he/she wants to be getting pictures of customers amateur haircuts.

Barber is a family friend.
He's having a great laugh with friends sending him pics .
So exactly the opposite of what you said.
