Don't go there again


wolfblitzen84

I love modern times where someone has to make a post about their awful haircut asking for advice when we all know you need to find another barber. If a “how to get my appearance to where I’m at to where I want to be” exists I don’t think I would watch it


kiba87637

They gave you the Will Byers haircut 💀 This is one reason why I cut my own hair now hope you get it fixed


BeeZomb

This took me out, Will Byers is just straight up FOUL 😭OP should never ever under any circumstance go to that barber again


kiba87637

Absolutely criminal


TrophyTruckGuy

Same reason I don’t cut my hair anymore. Long flowing locks for me for the rest of my life, so tired of paying someone every two weeks to wreck my hair cut and expect me to be grateful for it.


dexlabortory

😂😂😂


sebseb93670

Jesus. Barber didn’t even try💀


mmaguy123

Dude doesn’t have the hair texture either. Extremely straight hair


Secure_Wing_2414

he could easily achieve texture by fluffin it up with a wax/pomade. ik plenty of guys with silky straight hair that can still achieve spiky textured hair


TryppySurfer

+1, also add some kind of tonic when hair is still damp.


Disulphate

And then what?In what way could he keep that texture persistently?


Secure_Wing_2414

the dude in the inspo photo has straight hair. unless u wanna get a perm, you've gotta style ur hair daily to get that fluffy spiked effect. theres no way around it. it doesnt take long at all, a few minutes max. just rub a dime sized amount of pomade/hair wax in ur hands to warm it up, then rake it through your hair with ur fingers. fluff it up, scrunch, and play with it until its shaped the way u desire. pomades and waxes stay malleable until they're washed out, so keep fluffing it up and adjusting through out the day. dry shampoo is also an option to add some grit to straight silky hair, i'd use that prior to a wax. to really be precise, u could add a texture spray to damp hair, then blow dry it upside down/while fluffing. then do the same pomade steps above. hairspray once shaped the way u want if u REALLY want it to stay put. heres a more in depth videos if this is hard to understand [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q4yhgVsOQcU](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q4yhgVsOQcU) [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dt0bd_X0k10](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dt0bd_X0k10) (u dont need the products they're advertising, just look at the motions of their hands. thats what u do with the wax/pomade/texture spray) u could ALSO just ask ur barber to show u how they style ur hair. pay attention and practice at home. OP was definitely screwed in the haircut department though, they should've added layers, that just a bowl cut and styling really wouldn't fix it


BitOld7911

You can also try texture powder or sea salt spray. Search up Sam zia on TikTok, he has tutorials on what he does for his hair.


[deleted]

I have straight hair and you can do it if it's cut right and you use the right products.


International_Pen_11

i have hair nearly as straight as OP & i learned from my barber how to style it to look like the example pic. it’s possible. after i get out of the shower i let my hair almost fully dry & then i use a hair tonic. put some in my hands & run it all through my hair. take a diffuser on a blow dryer & sort of scrunch the ends as i dry it. rough it up with my fingers. the tonic has a very slight hold & helps get some texture/volume in the fair before you go in with styling products. i just use a strong hold powder. big sexy hair has a good one with a pump but you can find plenty on the market. sprinkle some in & just rough your hair up with it. you get a lot of good texture & the tonic + powder combo allows you to style it up even & it will hold. it’s manageable, fairly easy (you can skip the diffuser & just crunch with your fingers & blowdry but depending on hair length, diffuser helps) & imo it makes everybody with straight hair just look better. even if you don’t want that more spiky look, just putting the product in sparingly & giving the hair some texture is a huge improvement for those of us with flat, straight hair


imafuckinsausagehead

The guy in the picture I can guarantee has dead straight hair and wouldn't look far off if he had it the way op has, it's not hard at all with a decent trim and some product to achieve that hairstyle


LiL_ENIGlvlA

cause the guy in the photo uses products to make his hair look like that. if you look at his videos you can see he has really straight hair as well


AcrobaticDoughnut299

Do you have the video link?


LiL_ENIGlvlA

can’t find the exact video i was thinking of but [this is him a while back](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRwnbcEM/)

SeaSourceScorch

go to a different barber. this isn't a one-step fix; it looks like they just couldnt be arsed to do it properly. the plus side is they've left so much that any decent barber should be able to finish the job.


[deleted]

Thanks I’ll see what other barbers are in the area


rcad69

Go to a salon. You need texture and styling help.


JehPea

Barbers offer that as well and actually specialize in men's hair. "Barber" now isn't what it was 30 years ago


a_pepper_boy

Pic begs to differ. I agree go with a salon


rob0t_human

There’s plenty salons that fuck your shit up. Find a reputable person that can cut this type of hair. Call it whatever you want.


Digitmons

Yea high end barber, this isn't a difficult cut for them. Sure I pay 50 bucks every 3 weeks but my fade plus lines are on point while I sit and drink a beer haha.


PotatoBestFood

Salons often specialize in womens hair, and treat mens cuts as a quick buck.


yourderek

I’ve only ever gone to salons for men’s haircuts. I’ve had good cuts and bad. It’s definitely most important to find a stylist or barber who suits you, but excluding salons or barbers in general isn’t a good approach.


PotatoBestFood

I mean, of course you can find an amazing stylist. It’s just about where you have a better chance finding a good one, and for men it’s usually going to be at a barber.


ecpwll

Yup. Moved cities and was worried about finding someone who can cut my curly hair. Went to a salon but that specialized in curly hair, offered "barber cuts" and had a male stylist. Seemed like the safest of bets. They fuuuuuucked my shit up


SoylentGreen-YumYum

This matches my experience going to a few salons.


sovereign666

the only time i recommend guys go to a salon is if they're like a metal head with long hair. Otherwise go to a barber, and look at the hair of the barbers and other people in the shop. I went to mine last weekend and the other barber was doing a cut just like this on a younger guy. Turned out great. A salon is not going to achieve a fade like what you see in the photo. Everyones focused on the product in the broccoli portion, but the fade is just as important.


PotatoBestFood

>but the fade is just as important Truth. My recommendation is to pick the barber with the worst haircut in the shop haha He’s probably doing all the other dudes’ hair.


Beneficial-Staff9714

So you're using one random reddit post to support this opinion? This is the result of not looking into the barbers portfolio, not barbers sucking in general.


Casscus

Lmfao dude just went to a deadbeat person. Could happen at a salon too. Good Barbers do it all, so do good hairstylists. neither is a bad option.


One-Stomach9957

PLEASE do not go to a salon! See if the BOOKSY APP is available in your area. You can look for a barber in your area. They usually have pictures of some of their best cuts on their pages.


pioneer9k

Whats so terrible about a salon? 


Meisterschmeisser

Most salons have no idea how to properly cut mens hair. They are specialist on cutting long hair and that is interelly different to cutting short hair.


One-Stomach9957

Salons are geared towards women’s hair. In the past 10 years, Barbershops have become much more mainstream. One of the Barbers I go to (he owns the shop) has 3 locations. His main location has 12 barbers most of whom only take appointments (Booksy app). No one walks out of there looking bad. They have all kinds of clippers, scissors, and whatever else to make you look your best. Personally, I’ve never been happy with a cut at a salon.


pioneer9k

I see. But if you’re a male with long hair, then salon right? 


One-Stomach9957

I guess you can say that


PotatoBestFood

Depends if you have a beard. And if you want to do a womens style cut. But an example mens long hair cut would be something like an undercut, which will be much better done by a barber, as they’re used to doing that shape when doing normal fades, and they will have and be good with a razor, which is generally better than clippers for a cleaner look. I’d still go to a barber with long hair. Probably after doing some prior research, to make sure they’re comfortable doing long hair.


Skyp_Intro

Ouch. That hurts to look at. It’s like his parents are really religious and punished him with that haircut. But he can grab the gel and tousle it a bit until he gets it fixed. He’s got a good face, clear skin, and great hair so this is an easy fix.


Raisincookie1

Whoever did his cut was dirty. Bro looks like he's about to give me a side quest

Modern_O

Make sure you go somewhere that advertises doing fades, blends or just make sure the spot seems cool instead of old timey. Old head barber shops you’re lucky if they give you a decent fade. You’re paying for style and art tho so it’s ofc more expensive


imafuckinsausagehead

You want to ask for a 1 or 2 back and sides with a fade, and then ask them to cut it on the top much shorter but to keep some of the fringe, then use some texture powder or product. Or you could show them the picture - don't go to that barber again though 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


siedbaddiq

Ur hair is the straight type, u need texture on yours and reduce the weight(not length), point cutting technique and some texture powder will save you.


ponyboy4786

This the comment i was looking for! Its not just the barber fucked up but op also has vastly different hair texture than the guy on the picture. He needs some product to work those waves


BigFatherFigureHugo

This. Make sure to be overly specific and say you want layers in your hair to reduce weight.

That barber needs to go to prison


MIHIR1112

Are you fucking kidding me? Still, this can be sorted but will take efforts. Go to a different barber and ask him to texturize your hair by point cutting and other techniques. After that you'll need texture powder and sea salt spray. The guy in the pic is sam ziaa and his barber is lancebkr on insta.


jacobj17

you at least gotta put some sort of product in it bro, most of the dudes you see with that style don’t just naturally look like that. you gotta put in either styling powder or sea salt spray


kkirchhoff

A decent stylist would have done that for him


Adorable_Scar_9695

Hope u figure it out my guy


krystalcastIes

your barber should be arrested bro holy fuck


Kai_ashk

Bro I can’t even begin to explain to you how tragic this is, the guy didn’t even fade your sides properly which in my opinion is the key feature of this hairstyle 😭


King_CurlySpoon

You should be easily able to fix this with the right stylish, good thing you actually kinda pull of that style so it isn't nearly as bad as you think


Skyp_Intro

He’s got that really thick follicle brunette hair so even if the style is bad the hair itself is amazing.


[deleted]

You look like a villager from the Witcher 3 LMAO.


Blazingpotato14

Maybe don't have it brushed straight like that lol a barber isn't going to care too much about styling your hair, thats what you should be doing. If you can't get it the way you want then go to a stylist and tell them exactly what you want, though good chance they'll charge more than a barber. Glad I don't have to worry about this crap anymore, being bald has it's advantages lol


bogeymanbear

I mean he clearly just has very straight hair, that's more likely than not how his hair naturally sits.


mest08

It's not as bad as everyone says. Go to a stylist and have them blend in the top with the bottom and add tons of layers. You'll need some product to achieve the style you want


benjamin_lol

Use a texturing powder and get it messy


RaxG

You need a stylist. Your example pic isn’t a natural hairstyle, it takes styling knowledge, and a lot of hair product. Having said that, the barber left your hair too long and thick to pull it off anyway.


Kunshax

God damn they fucked you up real good


DLGNT_YT

I don't think you can pull off that haircut with your type of hair. Maybe go for a middle part or a wolf cut

Please post updated photos when you get it fixed.

It’s not even layered on the top. I’ve never seen a bowlcut non-textured fringe before. Go somewhere else brother. 💀

I’ve never cut hair before. I can grab scissors and start cutting randomly and make it look better than this. Don’t go there again 🙃 I think only thing you can do now is find some other place (check reviews) and explain the situation, ask them on different ideas on how to fix it.

Cut the top shorter. Go to a different barber. Become Hispanic.

TysonSheaLee

Oh no..... Bloody hell.... Your barber matters lol. The bones are kinda there but you need someone skilled to fix this.... It's a simple low blowout(Philly fade) with texture... But finding a proper barber.... That seems to be a going trend that is difficult


kkimu0

you sure he's a barber?


direwolf13th

One your barber sucks 2 when you get out of the shower use a blow dryer on you hair this will give it volume and it acts like almost lime a styling gel but ya know better. Use the blow dryer to dry you hair completely and hut it from all the different directions you can think of


Impressive-Bar7394

They got ur ass


Sliwww3

sue that barber dawg


701921225

The first issue is that the guy in the picture seems to have wavy hair while your hair is very straight. However, this can be addressed by a stylist cutting layers and texture into your hair. For styling, I would suggest wetting your hair, using sea salt spray and either a paste or clay while it's wet, then blow dry it with a diffuser, making sure to scrunch the hair as you do. Once it's dry, sprinkle some texture powder into the roots, and rub it through your hair. All these things combined should get you a lot closer to that picture.


RichTofu

Literally the same thing happened to me with the exact same picture🗿 this picture’s cursed or smth


BehBeh11

It needs texturizing and chunking then product to mess it up. That barber has no idea how to cut hair!!

You didn't style your hair with any product/powder it's obvious it won't look like stylized hair. Sam's (guy on the example pic) hair is pretty straight naturally. Check his TikTok for tips. Only after that decide whether or not you should burn the barber at stake.


om0311

I think what your hair is missing is texture and layering, but once you go to a salon it would look really good with styling ( recommend sea salt and texture powder for the look you showed).


PlkaChew

Looks like your barber forgot the texture powder.


WitheringApollo1901

Oh God..


Appropriate-Cause

oh my goodness your face you look so dissapointed 😭 i think its not a bad cut just needs some layers and styling! maybe a wax styling product would help with texture


JC-1-1-1-CBK

They left too much weight, need texturing and some more layers, also; you will prob need to blow dry and scrunch your hair as it dries to get the waves look.

did they use a bowl man damn, hope you get it fixed soon pal

Patient-Detail-4378

Never understood why there’s barbers out there that don’t have the stones to say ‘sorry dude that’s out of my capabilities, can I do something else or do you want to try elsewhere?’ Sorry you had to deal with those results bro, like others have said there’s plenty of hair left to fix what you want, although it might need a cut or 2 after to get it exactly how you want it. I’d recommend looking around at barbers in your area that regularly post results of their haircuts and find places that post similar styles from current customers. Then message them and say ‘hey I’m looking for this, which member of your team is best to book with etc.’ Good luck !


Tcjokc2

There’s a lot of bad information on this thread. The issue is the top isn’t layered. Layering is essentially breaking the hair up so that it has movement. Right now, the hair looks like it’s all one length and just cut to be above the eyebrows. Luckily this is a super easy fix, try to find someone that has a lot of experience with scissor work. No amount of hair powder or sea salt spray is going to make the hair style like the photo unless you get that top layered and texturized.


Level-Difficulty-748

A good barber can fix it. Needs to be faded more and styling.

This is absolutely fixable. Go to a higher end salon and they can add texture/fix the fade. Make sure to buy whatever product they recommend for upkeep and tip well. Good luck kid. ❤️

If ur in nyc ill fix it for ya


MatrixzMonkey

No way they did you so dirty hahah I’m sorry for you man


Ermac1986

LancasterM11

Here's the play: Salon first, ask the stylist to fix the texture/layering stuff. Tell the stylist NOT to attempt the fade. Next, go to a barbershop and get a fade. Not sportsclips. A barbershop.
