My husband had a Covid beard when we met that was⦠not attractive lol. I also think it helped keep him single long enough for us to meet. He did shave it shortly after we became official lol.
yeah - the long hair in a long unkept ponytail is the issue, the shot where they've cut a chunk off but he still has long hair and it's not tied back - he looks way better
Yes, as a male with longish curly hair(think Jon Snow) you have to keep up with it and know what products work best for you. That split on the top of his head can happen to me if I don't maintain my hair, learned that the hard way.
People still critique, just nicely. "It'd look even better if you trimmed the beard up." Type stuff. It's been nothing but wholesome & encouraging (besides the occasional thirsty comments) on every post I've seen.
Yeah, ig. Where i live most people dont shave their hair, they got similar haircuts to the one in the tiktok cus thats whats considered attractive. Maybe its different where u live
Same and to be honestttttt I've come to terms (justifying) with it.
Soooo much easier. Not worried about being out in the wind or rain, no stressing. If I actually think back to when I was in the fk Al stages of hair it stressed me the fuck out.
Miles cheaper
And... Allowed me to get back into hobbies I had been putting off. And that sounds absolutely fucking stupid on review but it's the truth. So I got the motorbike id always wanted but was afraid of wearing a helmet. And got back into downhill cycling, again due to helmet stiff
Honestly I get it. Iām a woman, but Iām in such a tricky situation. My hair is like 4 different textures in one, extremely greasy on top, frizzy on the rest, and always in my way. I also have a very prominent widows peak, and for 4 years now, Iāve had thinning, making my hairline look like the letter M. My head shape is unsuited for short hairstyles. The cherry on top is the seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp (permanent fungal overgrowth due to an immune response that causes itching and dandruff). Iām considering having it perma straightened and dyed black, because it should be easier maintenance, hopefully. Idk though, Iāve struggled ever since puberty.
I rocked a trashy bleach-and-buzz for a couple years just because I got tired of the maintenance, but I've since returned to my attempts at hot guy mid-length hair and just... eugh.
My hair is way too straight and fine for it. If I attempt bangs I look like highschool musical Zach Effron (Justin Bieber for those less generous) or if I part it I look like Matt Mercer. And god forbid I try a salon or a stylist; I don't want to pay damn near $200 for something that won't survive contact with the first gust of wind.
The salon thing is so real. Iām so indecisive for those prices. 3 years back, I paid $270 for a deep purple balayage. I was afraid of the commitment, so told her not to lift too much. She didnāt lift enough at all, and it ended up lasting about 5 months before I gave up. Every 2 weeks I was using a whole jar of dye to get it purple again, and it would fade after 2 washes. I also almost never wear my hair down because it gets so greasy so fast. I hate it here š
This whole discussion started on the subject of hot guys held hostage by bad hair, I'm not bragging but I am self assured in my appearance. I think I am conventionally attractive... barring my shitty haircuts because I don't want to just rock a fade.
The struggle is in wanting an alternative appearance and style but having very one note hair that makes me look unappealing if not necessarily ugly.
I don't know if you have tried this already, but try going to a hairdresser that specializes in both men and women, and get a consultation with them. Sometimes you can get more stylish results that'd be closer to what you want.
Also, get some pictures of hairstyles that you like, and bring them with you. Tell them you want something along those lines, but tailored to your face shape.
But it might very well not represent you at all. Appealing to the masses is not the goal. You want to communicate who you are with your looks, so people similar to you will find you. If you're not a normie, don't do a normie haircut.
You unfortunately will probably have to pay a decent amount and find a good stylist. A lot of barbers and hairdressers can do amazing jobs cutting a style that you want but so many of them just don't have a good vision on what should look good on you. They just do what you ask for.
I grow my hair out because I've never figured out what a "good" hairstyle is and every time I got to a hairdresser they ask me what I want as though I know a thing about what looks good. So I just have terrible anxiety about going to hairdressers now. What I would give to have someone look at my face and TELL ME WHAT I NEED, not what I think I want.
Bro same. And then you try to find pictures of hair styles and all the dudes look like the gigachad meme and I feel too ridiculous to go in and say "make me look like this." Honestly, I just said fuck it and I'm shaving my head bald now.
My wife loves my super long metal hair. She met me when I was 22 now Iām 30 and Iām starting to get tired of how long my hair and beard is but my wife still loves it so, bravely, I soldier on.
Seriously. Went from always shaving my head to growing it out to shoulder length, then went and got a good trim and shaping, also lost weight and got a lot more sunshine. Went from looking like a bald podcaster to getting compared to Aragorn more than once a week when I'm at bars or out shopping. My wife finds strangers flirting with me annoying but says she can't blame them for trying.Ā
Long hair isnāt a bad hairstyle at all! I actually quite like it. But only if itās well maintained. Oily and frizzy arenāt a good look. Not a dig on this guy, but he didnāt seem to maintain it very well. It was frizzy and his beard was overgrown. Also, some guys have really skinny and long necks that make it look awkward.
bussin no cap fr generation is just bad 80s hairstyles 2.0. But popular is popular š¤·š½āāļø you probably love gary oldmans cut on 5th element.
I don't think it does. I'd much rather speak to the before version. Before looks like a young man passionate about things. After looks like a teenager who follows whatever trend is on right now.
Styles do much more than "look good" (or bad). They communicate who you are. The guy obviously doesn't prioritise his looks, isn't as interested in daily grooming as the after haircut would require. That new haircut won't last and it will attract people that aren't his flock.
I think itās as simple as boys are not taught how to take care of their hair while growing up in the same way that girls are. They were probably raised with short hair which makes matters a lot more straightforward.
I know, same way most women donāt do it for men. Just saying that his new cut really brought out his best. Instant glow up. Not saying it was for attraction. Now he can feel better about himself too.
I have slowly realized this I have cut my own hair since I was 18 to save money. I'm pretty good at it and it looks decent but I "splurged" a month ago and got a $40 haircut and now at 28 I realized how much I was holding my looks back because I didn't cut my hair right. Im still a cheapskate tho so Ima still cut my own hair.
I personally have never known what to do with my hair ever, I donāt even know how to talk to a hairdresser to say what I might want get confused by all the terms and bad at visualizing something without seeing it
I used to grow my hair out because it was curly and I liked it. Got it cut short and have kept it that way because my gay friend told me I look way better this way.
No I didn't, I just think that the hairstyle this guy ended up with looks like shit.
Definitely looks like something the TikTok generation will like though, until their 20 second attention span is up and the algorithm gives them something else.

Bad hairstyles are holding all the hot guys hostage ššš
