Bald heads are the best. They require little maintenance, are easy to clean and dry, they are not affected by wind or rain, and never get out of style. I have started to shave my head about 15 years ago when I had to travel a lot in southeast Asia, and decided that that a completely shaved head is the most practical way to go since I have to shave my beard anyway. Now I don't have to waste my time on barbers (+ I save money for their services) and my head always looks exactly the same.
why, you don't have to care... plus a lot of women are into it (especially when paired with well groomed beard) which mean you don't have to compete with other men ;-)
Petr Benda Maintenance can be tricky but I just like the feeling of hair on my head,I have pretty long hair(to my shoulders) and I take great care of it. But of course your preference,as long as you dress nicely :)
Juste un trou d'eau That just sounds a bit lazy,then why don't women do it more often? Every hairstyle sends a different message,I just think there are more sophisticated looks the bald.
I am a gentleman of color, I have curly hair and I wear it in a Mohawk traditional style (my grandmother is full Native American, as well as her immediate family and before her) minus the short sides and I go for a half faded side, I get alot of complements on it and I learned how to do it perfectly myself, when i wear formal menswear it looks even more harmonious as I'm told, I think this style is a classic style with a modern touch for gentleman of color if you have longer hair and I think if you have short hair then a number 1 or 2 with short sides works for you
Dr.Happy2000 Actually, my hair started thinning, so I went into shorter cuts, and in the end chose a completely bald one both for the looks of it and for its incredible practicality 😉
Emanuele Sacchi That's a smart decision,I have pretty long hair(about to my shoulders) and if it started falling or thinning I would do the same thing.
I'm a world war two reenactor, so I generally need to keep my hair in a 1940s German style. Hard taper all the way around, hard part, and long on top. I started doing it at first because I had to. But over time it really grew on me! Plus, if I'm not reenacting I'm able to let the sides grow out a bit.
Sven, your current hairstyle doesn’t work for you at all. It emphasizes the receding hairline and big ears. You’d look a lot more youthful and virile with more voluminous hair. Perhaps ironically, you look best in the “pomade forehead zit” pic.
I used to go to a barber that actually learned classic cuts from a guy who was doing classic cuts in the 40s and 50s. Today you really only see hairstylists reconstruct cuts from old photos while using modern techniques. For instance, I have rarely seen a pompadour combed correctly. 1. Comb from the part sideways from one ear toward the other ear. 2. Comb only a little from front portion of your hairline toward the back. Having hair combed in two directions is where the height (aka “pop”) comes from. It isn’t just the pomade or gel. Also not all classic cuts have to have super short cut sides. Johnny Cash, Elvis, even the Don Draper character had super long hair on the sides. The old slang is “Fenders” vs “whitewalls”. If you have an oblong face (like my horse head) you should probably avoid cutting the sides short. Unless, of course that is a feature you’d like to highlight or exaggerate.
Just a tip. Can you turn down the music in the intro and outro, so it doesn't blast me out of the chair every time i click on these video. Or at least make it the tone of the video. By the way you make great videos this was just a request and not me complaining.
Yeah, I like most of his videos, but he looks 8 years old (in the worst way) with that haircut. He really needs to rethink the hard part + slick back, really takes down his "dapper" look and makes it look cheesy
@Gentleman's Gazette: Tip from myself, I stopped using shampoo for my hair like one and a half year ago and i have to say my hair went from oily with hairloss in the first 2 weeks to perfect healthy hair now. i Only wash my hair with water and it works perfectly! Also my hair don't pick up so much dirt now then to the time where i was using shampoo.
As a pomade user I would suggest you to try some more maybe not as traditional and greasy pomades than before. I use Lockharts Goon Grease on a daily basis and I could never go back to using gel. The slickness and hold is great, it is easy to use and it is not as greasy as traditional pomades. Pomade never made my pillow dirty or transfered to for example cloth. My suggestions for easy to use products: (Waterbased->) Layrite Superhold, Schmiere Hart waterbased or Reuzel Blue and if you want to try an oil based product go for Goon Grease. Your hairstyle will hold all day and you can always restyle it! And gel also damages your hair!
Hi Sven, I have your exact same haircut and I swear by Paul Mitchell's Material Paste. It helps keep my slightly curvy hair straight all throughout the day, and it has a nice balance between stiffness and lightness.
Ben I mean cigars are easy, get the cap off, put in in your mouth and smoke the damn thing, people who fuss over them too much are just strange, if you’re smoking a good cigar it’ll burn just fine with a decent lighter
I used to use got2b as well, but I found that Layrite Cement Clay worked even better for my wavy hair. You should give it a try if you haven't already, great stuff!
My wife, who was a hair stylist for many years (and still my stylist!) recommends Style Sexy Hair Hard Up as an alternative to the Got2B Glue. She's turned me on to many great hair products, so I don't doubt her suggestion!
I usually enjoy your videos, but I think you should be more open and talk about other hairstyles as well, that aren’t just « short on the side and long on top ». You could have talked about longer hairs and so on... You presented the same style five times, more or less: get your hair short on the sides and then comb the top in this or that way. But please continue your videos, they make for a helpful and enjoyable watch.
the idea is timeless; if the style isn't in the vid its likely because he didnt think it is timeless. hairstyles can be super trendy adn look great but not be timeless; they just wont look great in a few years. remember there was a time when the mullet was super cool!
Yes but this style of short side hairs and relatively long on top wasn't popular at all a couple of years ago, but now everyone has such a haircut, at least where I live. In a couple of years it will go out of fashion again. Timeless? I doubt. Even if people were wearing it in the thirties and a lot of people are wearing that now, it doesn't mean that it is timeless. It is just acceptable for the moment.
Yeah. My favorite hairstyle is a slickback without the shaved back and sides. That's how I had my hair for years (I was inspired by the Yakuza games as a lot of the characters in them have slicked back hair), but now I just shave my head because my hair is getting thinner and thinner on top each year. Also, something else this video misses the mark on is that men didn't have full beards for most of the 20th century. They either had a mustache or were clean shaven. Every now and then you might see a guy with a goatee such as Vladimir Lenin and Italo Balbo, but it wasn't a common style amongst the average man.
Gentlemen’s Gazette with all due respect my good sir, The advice I will give you is highly paid for commodity in my profession. I am a barber and in my opinion try bumble and bumble sumo gel
I use the hair wax that Sumo wrestlers use. It is usually called Binzuke abura but there are actually 3 kinds of differing hardness: Bizuke is the hardest, the middle strength one is Suki abura and I don`t remember the name of the third. I use the middle one, Suki abura. Its great stuff!
Hello Raphael! Very nice video! I also have very thick and strong and also wavy hair and as you, I also unfortunately get Pomade acne (I used Murray's NuNile), then I tried a Waterbased pomade, in my case the Layrite Superhold Pomade and it works very well for me. I have a classic side part haircut. Sometimes if I want a bit more shine, I add a very tiny amount of Murray's Hair glo, only on the top, so that my forehead stays clean of acne. Greetings from Germany
I use a lot of Layrite Cement. It's the strongest in terms of hold that I've ever used, and it's got a nice pleasant smell. No forehead acne like you get from oil-based pomades. The Layrite Superhold works nice for me for the first two hours, but as soon as you begin sweating, it's gone.
I have the same problem with Layrite superhold...especially in humid Miami. I used to use Murray’s and a few others. I’m going to try that got2b one and the Layrite cement, but I haven’t found anything that works for my thick, curly hair. Sometimes I use a leave-in conditioner for a more messy look, but I’d like something combable. Thanks for the suggestions!
I don’t have hair to play with these days, but I like these videos. I look forward to the comb video. I think you should make many more videos examines various quality products.
My last haircut looked great, then she got the clippers out and in two seconds looked like I had a toupée! Second time she has gone too short on the sides, both times took three months to grow out to where looked okay. Keeping it styled behind the ears, most don't notice being too long (helps my hair grows at a glacial pace). Find also fun as can also go tousled/hand combed, with or without argan oil. Oh, and would love to go anywhere, but having THICK red hair must be a salon and of those, only found three in my lifetime (moved several times). In short, there are at least three additional medium hair length classic haircuts that were missed, but don't seem as common as when I was growing up. The one I prefer is a business with only round fading the back (no fade on the sides), in a side part, shaped of course so doesn't look like a bowl cut including a thinning. Miss the days when men's cuts be pictured on the wall and could say you want a number 3 for example.
Some hair products to try: Morris Motley (the Styling Treatment Balm for matte and Chrome for high shine), Odouds Pomades and Daimon Barbers products. These producs work extremely well even for wavy / unruly hair types.
hey please do a video on hairstyles that work well with men who commonly wear hats. I own over a hundred hats and while I love the hairstyle I have, I find that it is often covered up when I'm out and about and defeats the purpose of using all that gel. Also there are other hairstyles that I want to have but I can't because it will get smashed by my hat
I use Kiehls silk groom serum which keeps my hair smooth, but gives me a perfect amount of hold so that it doesn’t not curl. As for times when I need more hold, I use Kérastase curl fever (yes I know it’s a woman’s product, but hey a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do). It makes my hair slightly more “crunchy”, but it gives a good hold without getting rid of my curls. Just personal suggestions for you all.
Man i miss the days when my hair was halfway down my torso....... But i tend to keep it short these days because my Soon to be wife prefers it. She likes it when i get my hair cut in a more 1940s style so i can part it on the side. Problem is other than date night and when she makes me style my hair i never do because i just don't care enough to. Seriously why am i addicted to your videos?
I'm not sure this would work for wavy/thick hair, but one type of hair product you didn't mention is mousse. If you have very fine, straight hair, lots of hair gels and pomades are just too heavy, and mousse is a great alternative. Just apply to damp hair and then style as you would with any other product. You shouldn't use too much--like with the Gordon Gecko look, you don't want to go too 80s with it.
The style on 10:18 is my style with a slight hint of Mohawk not as short on the back as it would be on the sides with a slight hint of a mullet. My sides would be at a three faded. It looks professional and it’s good for the office.
I have been doing a pomp for 21 years and I hav never used a hair dryer. I have super curly hair and I use a stiff pomade (pom aid is how we all asy it in the states) Murray's in the orange can, or Dax Wave n' Grove for cheaper quality pomade. For higher end pomade Cockgrease big black is killer super stiff pomade. As for a comb a ACE hard rubber comb sold at Walmart for under two bucks is always in my pocket and it is durable considering I am a blue collar man. As for dirty pillow cases it is something you just deal with, it is sort of the hardcore rockabilly thing and if you girl gets it she's a keeper. Now on a barbershoo always go to a barber not a hair salon, it will be generally hard to find a good barbershop, it took me months when the barber I used since my father took me there as a kid retired, I Believe I went to four different shops before finding the one I use now... A good barber will know what a pompadour is, he will be reasonably priced and on Payday and Saturday he will be busy. He will cut your hair into a pomp ?or what ever style you want) and ask you if you want a DA (ducks ass), as I have gotten a bit older I have gone away from the rebellious look of a taller pomp with a DA that you would see a hot rodding 20 something would have had in the late 1950s to more of a classic trim with more of a conservative style with a nice taper on the sides and the of my head but it still let's everyone in the know I am a rockabilly, punk, hotrodder County boy that longs for a time when men were men with style and class and tuff as nails. Anyways my barber is literally a neighborhood shop owner and he charges $12- USA and I always tip useally giving him a $20- spot and Telling him to keep the change and at Christmas useally give him $30- because it is the right thing to do... He has never done me wrong and I absolutely can not complain about his work.

If one were to watch movies from the '20s and early '30s, he would note that the"high and tight" haircut was far less extreme than it is today. Indeed, hair was longer on top than on the sides or in the back, yet it looked generally symmetrical. The "high and tight" haircut being referred to here is more akin to that of WWI soldiers. A lot of the examples shown seem to align with the "hipster" look, save for Mr. Schneider's own hair as well as the vintage photographs.
I've been going with a pompadour for almost to 5 years. My preferred go-to brand is Reuzel Pomade. Also, in a future, "words you mispronounce", video, ad pomade. xD
Here’s where I differ from you. I’ve liked my hair at a medium length while still keeping it stylish. These points are great for a gentleman, for sure; however, I always had a hard time getting the right comb when it’s short. Maybe it’s lack of product. Who knows
I used to Got2 B when I was younger and today it amazes me that I once used that stuff, although it’s probably not nearly as bad for your hair as alcohol based gels.
I subscribed to get desperately needed info for my son. But having watched this video, I'm going to mention the part about establishing a good relationship w/ your barber to my husband . (I've been cutting his hair for over 25 years , hahahahaha)
Strange that you did not talk about timeless grooming tonics. My suggestion is to try the Dutch company Reuzel. I find most of their products of a really high quality.
Thomas Richardson the problem with the buzz cut is that it relies on symmetry and other traits. A buzz cut has been my haircut forever because that’s the only thing that looks good on me.
While the comments said here have some truth to them, you also don't have to get a perfectly even buzz, military style/crew cut. You can ask your barber to vary it up a bit and leave more on the top or front. This is the style crew cut I get most often because it comes close to the high'and'tight styles that are popular while also not as long on top, so I don't have to use product in my hair.
Hey, I know this comment comes in a little late, but I can really recommend the Wellaflex EIMI series, especially the "Rugged Texture" and the "Texture Touch".
Sven have you tried Goon Grease? I actually had the same problems w/ breakouts until I tried a natural pomade that doesn't clog pours. And this stuff HOLDS.
Yes, the prohibition high and tight cut was very stylish during the depression. Even though they were starving to death during this time, men wanted a stylish cut to look good with their raggedy clothes and gaunt looks of despair and hunger.
my part is trained. i can wash my hair, dry it, and it still reverts back to a "part" w no product in. im not digging his style. Could be better blended from long to short. i have square cut.
I have had saw many videos everything about classic and timeless men haircuts. But, I noticed one thing on this, you were the only one in contrast on suggesting the Gordon Gekko's. What's the problem man?
If you have the right shape face and your ears don't stick out, I think that's the best look. I call it, the Robert De Niro look:) My ears are too big and my face too round for me to pull it off.
Layrite natural matte cream is what I have started to use ,it a cream wax high bred, and this stuff is amazing and smells amazing to, you should check it out .
Hahahaha love your videos man, always get a good laugh, especially when you say stuff like that your haircut is an undercut (it maybe is but i thought undercuts were supposed to look good)
I'm not gonna argue on this one because there is a pretty high possibility that you would get a chance to make a fool of me but I can tell you the facts, pulling of that haircut where I live would almost be social suicide for sure
Try tres flores water base pomade it’s a classic gel type pomade that washes out easily and can be restyled throughout the day give it a try it’s cheap and a really good product in my opinion
@@RonSKang1 Yeah, really makes his "dapper" look end up looking very cheesy most of the time. Used to keep my hair short and tidy because it curls, but ended up liking a few inches uptop a lot more. Even jerry curls uptop with a fade would suit him much better.
There are incredible and high quality hair products/pomades out there. When you use hair products on a daily basis, it's best to avoid 'drug-store' products and invest on good ones
There's very few pomades as good as Murrays, which is probably the one pomade you'll find on the shelf of any drugstore in America. With the exception of Layrite and Reuzel, most "boutique" pomades found online and at stylists are hugely overpriced and lackluster in performance. I've tried them all with few exception and have only ever been impressed with the Layrite Cement and Reuzel Red.
I would recommend trying out O'douds.. personally, not a fan of Murrays.. it just doesn't work with me. But if it works for you then all good. Layrite and Reuzel are great as well, being generally available/accessible.
When you said not to wash your hair every day, do you mean with shampoo by that? I personally wash my hair every day, but only once per 2-3 day with shampoo...
Hey my friend as a Man who Loved style enjoys your channel, I'm also a master stylist. You're suggesting really low end product for the hair not just price but in quality. Doesn't suit your channel or approach. If you need some suggestions let me know I'll be glad to help.
As a bald man, this video brought me nothing but sadness.

#6 The mullet
Only if you're German...
Or Australian
The mullet actually is the most timeless hairstyle.
I solved the problem by clean shaving my head every morning... after all it's another timeless style ;)
Emanuele Sacchi Did your hair fall off or do you like the bald look?
Dr.Happy2000 Actually, my hair started thinning, so I went into shorter cuts, and in the end chose a completely bald one both for the looks of it and for its incredible practicality 😉
Emanuele Sacchi That's a smart decision,I have pretty long hair(about to my shoulders) and if it started falling or thinning I would do the same thing.

Sometimes I use a leave-in conditioner for a more messy look, but I’d like something combable. Thanks for the suggestions!
i needed this video, it really answered a lot of questions i've been having lately thank you!
I don’t have hair to play with these days, but I like these videos. I look forward to the comb video. I think you should make many more videos examines various quality products.
As someone with long hair, I usually go for center-parting that unites into a firm androgynous ponytail.
My last haircut looked great, then she got the clippers out and in two seconds looked like I had a toupée!
Second time she has gone too short on the sides, both times took three months to grow out to where looked okay. Keeping it styled behind the ears, most don't notice being too long (helps my hair grows at a glacial pace). Find also fun as can also go tousled/hand combed, with or without argan oil.
Oh, and would love to go anywhere, but having THICK red hair must be a salon and of those, only found three in my lifetime (moved several times).
In short, there are at least three additional medium hair length classic haircuts that were missed, but don't seem as common as when I was growing up. The one I prefer is a business with only round fading the back (no fade on the sides), in a side part, shaped of course so doesn't look like a bowl cut including a thinning. Miss the days when men's cuts be pictured on the wall and could say you want a number 3 for example.
Some hair products to try: Morris Motley (the Styling Treatment Balm for matte and Chrome for high shine), Odouds Pomades and Daimon Barbers products. These producs work extremely well even for wavy / unruly hair types.
Or a bald head like me, just cut it off to sandpaper length......
Kerry Thomas that’s what I have brother , I’m only 15 and look like a skinhead
Hanz De Fuko has an extensive line of paraben free products that range from matte pastes to high shine waxes...all of which are water soluble.
Could you do a video on skincare? I've got pretty bad acne at the moment and it'd be great to hear your advice as to what I can do about it.
if you're Asian there's also the bowl cut
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ahahaha .
Classic!
Asia is a continent . Get some education before commenting.
Alen Paul People can be from Asia, I am British but that doesn’t mean I’m not European, it is the same concept
Had my first experience with a barber yesterday and it was the best thing I ever did for my hair
Hochgeehrter Herr Schneider, besten Dank Ihnen fuer die wertige Auskunft.
Bitte veroeffentlichen Sie immer oefter Ihre Videos.
Viel Erfolg!
8:01 uses comb where he doesnt even need
hey please do a video on hairstyles that work well with men who commonly wear hats. I own over a hundred hats and while I love the hairstyle I have, I find that it is often covered up when I'm out and about and defeats the purpose of using all that gel. Also there are other hairstyles that I want to have but I can't because it will get smashed by my hat
Try Reuzel. I’m a barber and I haven’t found a better line of products
The Pink and the Blue ones are amazing
I think shaving it all the way down is the way to go❤
I use Kiehls silk groom serum which keeps my hair smooth, but gives me a perfect amount of hold so that it doesn’t not curl. As for times when I need more hold, I use Kérastase curl fever (yes I know it’s a woman’s product, but hey a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do). It makes my hair slightly more “crunchy”, but it gives a good hold without getting rid of my curls. Just personal suggestions for you all.
You are Great!! Try to watch all your vídeos😜
Man i miss the days when my hair was halfway down my torso....... But i tend to keep it short these days because my Soon to be wife prefers it. She likes it when i get my hair cut in a more 1940s style so i can part it on the side. Problem is other than date night and when she makes me style my hair i never do because i just don't care enough to. Seriously why am i addicted to your videos?
I'm not sure this would work for wavy/thick hair, but one type of hair product you didn't mention is mousse. If you have very fine, straight hair, lots of hair gels and pomades are just too heavy, and mousse is a great alternative. Just apply to damp hair and then style as you would with any other product. You shouldn't use too much--like with the Gordon Gecko look, you don't want to go too 80s with it.
Believe it or not, but the $7 Axe pomade is the best thing I've ever tried (the purple one).
The style on 10:18 is my style with a slight hint of Mohawk not as short on the back as it would be on the sides with a slight hint of a mullet. My sides would be at a three faded. It looks professional and it’s good for the office.
My barber is featured at 1.39 seconds on the video! They are based in east London! A timeless classic never fails!
I like your sense of humor to give your hair style as an example.
Love your videos pure class
Not sure if you’ll read this but try tres flores water base pomade, it’s not a oil base so no acne but it doesn’t dry up like gel and has a great hold
I have been doing a pomp for 21 years and I hav never used a hair dryer. I have super curly hair and I use a stiff pomade (pom aid is how we all asy it in the states) Murray's in the orange can, or Dax Wave n' Grove for cheaper quality pomade. For higher end pomade Cockgrease big black is killer super stiff pomade. As for a comb a ACE hard rubber comb sold at Walmart for under two bucks is always in my pocket and it is durable considering I am a blue collar man.
As for dirty pillow cases it is something you just deal with, it is sort of the hardcore rockabilly thing and if you girl gets it she's a keeper.
Now on a barbershoo always go to a barber not a hair salon, it will be generally hard to find a good barbershop, it took me months when the barber I used since my father took me there as a kid retired, I Believe I went to four different shops before finding the one I use now... A good barber will know what a pompadour is, he will be reasonably priced and on Payday and Saturday he will be busy. He will cut your hair into a pomp ?or what ever style you want) and ask you if you want a DA (ducks ass), as I have gotten a bit older I have gone away from the rebellious look of a taller pomp with a DA that you would see a hot rodding 20 something would have had in the late 1950s to more of a classic trim with more of a conservative style with a nice taper on the sides and the of my head but it still let's everyone in the know I am a rockabilly, punk, hotrodder County boy that longs for a time when men were men with style and class and tuff as nails.
Anyways my barber is literally a neighborhood shop owner and he charges $12- USA and I always tip useally giving him a $20- spot and Telling him to keep the change and at Christmas useally give him $30- because it is the right thing to do... He has never done me wrong and I absolutely can not complain about his work.

I'm bald (Yul Brynner)...I just intimidated my hair so it won't grow anymore. Follicles don't rule here, I do.
Still an informative video though.
If one were to watch movies from the '20s and early '30s, he would note that the"high and tight" haircut was far less extreme than it is today. Indeed, hair was longer on top than on the sides or in the back, yet it looked generally symmetrical. The "high and tight" haircut being referred to here is more akin to that of WWI soldiers. A lot of the examples shown seem to align with the "hipster" look, save for Mr. Schneider's own hair as well as the vintage photographs.
Let’s bring the Gekko look back gentlemen. Make slick back great again
Love gecco look!
Greed is good?
I've been going with a pompadour for almost to 5 years. My preferred go-to brand is Reuzel Pomade.
Also, in a future, "words you mispronounce", video, ad pomade. xD
Delayed fun fact: he says it properly. Pommade is a French word and he pronounces as the French does.
Here’s where I differ from you. I’ve liked my hair at a medium length while still keeping it stylish. These points are great for a gentleman, for sure; however, I always had a hard time getting the right comb when it’s short. Maybe it’s lack of product. Who knows
I used to Got2 B when I was younger and today it amazes me that I once used that stuff, although it’s probably not nearly as bad for your hair as alcohol based gels.
I had no idea you have wavy hair. That stuff works!
D:fi Extreme is a wax and it will keep your hair in place through a hurricane. Only stuff I use nowadays.
I subscribed to get desperately needed info for my son. But having watched this video, I'm going to mention the part about establishing a good relationship w/ your barber to my husband . (I've been cutting his hair for over 25 years , hahahahaha)
Strange that you did not talk about timeless grooming tonics. My suggestion is to try the Dutch company Reuzel. I find most of their products of a really high quality.
The buzzcut IS the timeless hairstyle of all time.
it looks terrible on most men
Thomas Richardson the problem with the buzz cut is that it relies on symmetry and other traits. A buzz cut has been my haircut forever because that’s the only thing that looks good on me.
Not the most flattering though...
I agree 100% but the buzzcut is the haircut everybody in the world has had, have now, or will have.
While the comments said here have some truth to them, you also don't have to get a perfectly even buzz, military style/crew cut. You can ask your barber to vary it up a bit and leave more on the top or front. This is the style crew cut I get most often because it comes close to the high'and'tight styles that are popular while also not as long on top, so I don't have to use product in my hair.
Hey, I know this comment comes in a little late, but I can really recommend the Wellaflex EIMI series, especially the "Rugged Texture" and the "Texture Touch".
Sven have you tried Goon Grease? I actually had the same problems w/ breakouts until I tried a natural pomade that doesn't clog pours. And this stuff HOLDS.
Yes, the prohibition high and tight cut was very stylish during the depression. Even though they were starving to death during this time, men wanted a stylish cut to look good with their raggedy clothes and gaunt looks of despair and hunger.
1:07 that curly thing reminded me of a popular Polish haircut in the late 1600's.
my part is trained. i can wash my hair, dry it, and it still reverts back to a "part" w no product in. im not digging his style. Could be better blended from long to short. i have square cut.
I have had saw many videos everything about classic and timeless men haircuts. But, I noticed one thing on this, you were the only one in contrast on suggesting the Gordon Gekko's. What's the problem man?
I'm bald but I clicked on the video just to hear you talk 👍👍👍👍👍
Have you tried Kevin Murphy Super Goo? I have wavy hair and it tames my hair quite nicely.
My hairstyle looks closest to the clishe used car sales man's hairstyle.. I just brush it to the side, not backwards
If you have the right shape face and your ears don't stick out, I think that's the best look. I call it, the Robert De Niro look:) My ears are too big and my face too round for me to pull it off.
Thank you so much for the great information. Could you my good sir pleas do a video about moustache styles?
Layrite natural matte cream is what I have started to use ,it a cream wax high bred, and this stuff is amazing and smells amazing to, you should check it out .
Hahahaha love your videos man, always get a good laugh, especially when you say stuff like that your haircut is an undercut (it maybe is but i thought undercuts were supposed to look good)
Daaaaamn the savagery
Samuel Karnbo What's wrong with his hair?
I'm not gonna argue on this one because there is a pretty high possibility that you would get a chance to make a fool of me but I can tell you the facts, pulling of that haircut where I live would almost be social suicide for sure
Kind of a nasty comment. I'm sure you could think of a more diplomatic way of saying what you did!
Try tres flores water base pomade it’s a classic gel type pomade that washes out easily and can be restyled throughout the day give it a try it’s cheap and a really good product in my opinion
Classic 'short back & sides' side part with brylcreem
728Joe sounds like the Reviewbrah cut
If you use pomade, don't use got2be
It's not bad for something you can get at WalMart, just overpriced and underperforming.
Marvin call me crazy, but I think Murray's is better.
What about hair styles for people with longer hair on the sides and back?
Any chance of changing the music up a bit? Still the same nice chill jazz but maybe a different track you know? Keep up the good work
I slick my hair strait back, what are your thoughts?
Nice video :)
I think your hair would look better with less product
@@RonSKang1 Yeah, really makes his "dapper" look end up looking very cheesy most of the time. Used to keep my hair short and tidy because it curls, but ended up liking a few inches uptop a lot more. Even jerry curls uptop with a fade would suit him much better.
Oleg: Amen! ♐
In order to use pommade and not get the acne. Use a modern water based pommade like Suavecito. It gives a more classic look than gel.
There are incredible and high quality hair products/pomades out there. When you use hair products on a daily basis, it's best to avoid 'drug-store' products and invest on good ones
There's very few pomades as good as Murrays, which is probably the one pomade you'll find on the shelf of any drugstore in America. With the exception of Layrite and Reuzel, most "boutique" pomades found online and at stylists are hugely overpriced and lackluster in performance. I've tried them all with few exception and have only ever been impressed with the Layrite Cement and Reuzel Red.
I would recommend trying out O'douds.. personally, not a fan of Murrays.. it just doesn't work with me. But if it works for you then all good. Layrite and Reuzel are great as well, being generally available/accessible.
When you said not to wash your hair every day, do you mean with shampoo by that? I personally wash my hair every day, but only once per 2-3 day with shampoo...
If you are not using shampoo then you are just rinsing which is fine
Great vid dude 😎🤘
I have a high widow's peak, I either do a comb forward or a complete buzz. (Comb forward like Ed Sheeran - what, you didn't know he's bald??)
I use that Moco De Gorila! It's cheap and holds pretty well if you dont mess with your hair lol.
Hey my friend as a Man who Loved style enjoys your channel, I'm also a master stylist. You're suggesting really low end product for the hair not just price but in quality. Doesn't suit your channel or approach. If you need some suggestions let me know I'll be glad to help.
Military hair cuts for most countries are rather handsome and timeless as well.
Any suggestions for us who are thinning/bald and still look dignified?
Still think you should try a pompadour to get the volume. Ever given it a thought?
I have long hair, just above collar length, but I periodically shift to wearing an undercut.
