boy haircut thread

Can't go wrong with this or even a little shorter. And it still works even if you have straight, sicky-uppy hair, you just get that little Paul Weller bird-of-paradise spike in an impromptu way without it looking douchebagedly cultivated.

need a haircut. have had a mop for years; strangely i look 12yrs old and LESS masculine when it's short. inability to grow proper sideburns. hate having straight hair. blargh, rant over

hmmm, i like the mcqueen! may try it laurel, ty.

It doesn't seem particular to SMQ in any important way, I just see it as a normal man's haircut of its time. He's just a good icon to demonstrate the look now it's not current.

boyish!

A little bit long still, but baby steps! Certainly a very big difference from before. The old hair was kind of gr80-ish, tbh, but he would have had like gel or "texturizer" or something like that in his.

A hoy hoy, that looks good!

aw shucks

recommend me some punk rock hairdos, y'all. and none of this bullshit with mad product i aint gonna spike a foot long mohawk every morning plus it has to be helmet head friendly. i was thinking of that look where it's like a reverse mullet skater thing but i cannot find any imgs with the google

I like the young morrissey look where it's shaved around back and loosey goosey on top and in front. Looks pretty helmet friendly, I don't know if that's punk enough for you.

^^^ that's kinda what i wanted when i got my haircut and sorta just came out normal looking

I think you have to have to make sure there's a big enough difference between the shavedness of the back and the loosey goosiness of the front as well as a clear line of demarcation.

right that's what didn't happen

well, next time?

like this?

this kinda seems a little too faux hawky to me . . .

That is a classic, classic haircut.

that hair while beautiful is clearly nearly impossible to execute

tone down the loosey goosey and you've got an A+ do, imo

Many a poor man has been called out on attempting (and failing) the Morrissey, you gotta have guts

I don't mean to go all out morrissey, just the general idea.

My friend tried to show his stylist a drawing of Tintin once, before getting a haircut. The results were kind of heartbreaking.

ha!

this is a really dumb fucking article and i have no clue who its subject is, but when did this haircut start getting popular? i see it all the time now (talking about the haircut, not the beard, and i'm in the US even though the article is about the UK):

or variations of it - just anything with a really drastic taper

Yesterday my wife informed me she always thought Ozzy's 70s hair was cool. I think we're going to try this out. DGAF.
