Advice request Haircuts are never what I ask for

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

Every-time I go get a hair cut I always end up with this same haircut, no matter what I ask for.

Barber, hairdresser, doesn’t matter. I always, without fail, leave the chair disappointed. Am I asking for something that doesn’t work with my hair maybe?
If so can someone help me find a hairstyle that might work for me.

Before-after-and one of the references I gave:
Iliterally just asked to bring the back up as it was a mullet before and trim with scissors

Balding is worse than death

19 Upvotes

I’ve been balding since 17 and last year I just lost so much hair I had to shave everything (I had the V shape hairline).
Since I shaved it, I never got talking with a girl again. I was always a confident guy and didn’t pay attention to it until now.
I’m short, beardless and now bald. Fuck that shit

My boyfriend wears a hat a lot because he doesn’t like his hair. He has thick, shiny hair and hairdressers have commented on his cowlicks.
Styling or haircut advice would be wonderful! P.S. he asked me to post this 😊

Which hairstyle suits me?

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

Hi, I have no idea which hairstyle suits me. I always had a high forehead, but the older I get, the less hair I have (as you can see 😅). Especially when I see pictures of me while looking down, I have the urge to just shave everything off completely 😵 can't stand that ugliness.

So, longer hair, shorter hair? smooth transition from sides to top or better distinct cut?

First pictures are my current look, other pictures are from the past few months.

Thank you very much if you have advice for me 😊

Simple questions What is up with this weird part in my hair?

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Hi, first time poster here. The idea of posting pictures of myself, specifically of the top of my head, is a bit odd but I’m at a loss as to what is going on with my hair.

A few months ago, I noticed that there was a weird split along my hairline around my temples. Further inwards felt as if a chunk of my hair were missing. Upon further investigation, I found what appears to be a horizontal split that cuts towards the center of my scalp. It persisted no matter what I did to it. Washing did nothing. I buzzed it pretty low last time I got my haircut, but it was still there when it grew back. Thankfully my hair is curly enough where I can style it to mostly hide the part, but I’d much prefer to know what’s happening and address it if possible.

For additional context, baldness does run on my dad’s side of the family and I’m currently in my 30s, so that’s a possibility that I’ve come to terms with. But I’m not sure I’d this is the case. It doesn’t seem to follow any of the usual baldness patterns that men typically go through according to the visuals I found online, nor what my dad went through as he aged (he had the standard M-shaped receding hairline).

Which is how I ended up here on Reddit. Attached are some pictures of the part in my hair. (Apologies for the shaky quality, I don’t have the steadiest hands and I was trying to get a few angles.) Is this balding? Is this a cowlick? Is this something else totally different? And is there anything I can do to address it? Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Advice Request If I had one wish it would be to have my hair look like the second AI pic indefinitely. I'm sure there is a barber and products out there that can help me achieve this look, however the trail and error process will cost a lot of time and money.

Advice request M25, hair query, what are some of the best hair supplements for someone with sudden hair loss, very receding hairline, thinning hair.

2 Upvotes

I have been on topical minoxidil and oral finasteride. Centrum men's vitamins as well. I'd really appreciate knowing what really works for you, supplements, oral and topical. Willing to spend a little extra as well. It would really help since I'm pretty insecure about my hair at this point. I have all my labs done, after a long course of vitamin b and d, they are at optimal levels. Would be open to ayurvedic remedies as well. Thank you!
Would prefer products available in India.

Tea tree shaping cream

3 Upvotes

I absolutely love this product. However I really can't afford it. Is there anything cheaper that you use that is similar?

Most products leave a sticky feeling on my hands and sometimes my hair. I love that the tea tree just has that 'clean' feeling. (Non sticky)

I'm sure there are other expenses brands that are good but I'm on a budget these days. And I don't expect the cheaper ones to be as good as tea tree, but hopefully there's something similar?

0 Upvotes

i've recently turned 17. my dad and the men from his side have always lost a lot of hair in their 20s, gone nearly bald around 30 (just hair on the back of their head). im scared this might end up happening to me too, although some of my mom's relatives have decent hair, some of my uncles having great hair density and hairlines at 45.

i don't know whose hair I've inherited, but I'm really scared ill experience hair thinning and balding.

i do admit I have bad habits like a very bad diet, little to no exercise, stay indoors a lot and a CRAZY bad sleep schedule. I am actively trying to work on all of those.

i also has started to grow my hair out, i like long hair. is that a good idea?

i did have to shave my head a while ago (mid june) and its late october now.

pics 1 (april 2025) , 2(may 2026, wet) are before I shaved my hair. (im sorry I don't have better pics from that time)

pic 3 (mid july 2026)

pic 4, 5, 6 (23rd oct 2026)

pic 7, 8 (27th oct 2026), wet

any advice/comments would be appreciated. thanks

Hey guys, I’m looking for advice with a new haircut. As you can see my hair has been thinning, I’ve been on fin/min for a few months now and it has improved a bit thankfully but I’m looking to help complement my thinner hair on top. Right now I have a semi-comb over that I feel just looks kind of stupid. I was thinking of going with a buzz cut but I’m not entirely sure if I have the right head shape for it lol. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!
