    I swear someone needs to teach young men about pomade, hair gel, mousse, just anything at all about how to style and texture your hair. I guarantee the guy in the left pic doesn’t look like that when he rolls out of bed, and if you want your hair to look like his, you’ll need similar amounts of styling and product.

      You’re not at all wrong with the first part.

      But I can tell you with hair like that, you can actually just roll out of bed and have it look good. But that presupposes you’ve actually taken care of the hair and that it’s cut well.

      Definitely wasn’t a great stylist if that’s how unevenly they cut the front, but also that dudes hair is kinda dry, so perhaps with product he could make it look better.

      I had horrible problems with a frizzy mess of hair until started using a leave in conditioner spray and a bit of hair oil. I also sleep with a silk bonnet. But yeah, when there’s a suitable amount of both, the next day I’ll just wake up and slightly brush it and it looks great. Whereas last year I couldn’t even get a brush through it. And if I don’t wear the bonnet I don’t need to brush even, as it squishes the hair a bit.

      If I style it I use a tiny bit pomade, but like a really soft one. Almost like a cream.

      But yeah you’re definitely right that someone should teach men about hair care. I’m still just learning but my hair is already much better. Just would’ve enjoyed knowing these things in my 20’s for a gorgeous mane. I don’t have male pattern baldness in my family really but it does thin a bit.

      i thought i was doomed to always have bad hair aside from maybe one or two days a month when they decided to look nice

      gels never worked, neither did pomades (curly hair) but then i discovered hair modelling clay, and now i can have a nice hair whenever i want :)

        Same issue, pomade was the fix for me (wavy hair), until then I always just lived with my hair looking like shit until it reached the perfect balance of “unwashed enough to have some weight and texture on it, clean or dry shampooed enough to not look super unwashed”.

    The problem is entirely you. The fact you want a “chad” haircut is the problem. It’s probably for the best the biggest incel echo chamber is gone.

      Chad is pretty much common parlance now, it’s use hasn’t been a good metric of incellibecy in at least two years

        It really hasn’t. If all the people you’re associating with are using Chad and Stacy in regular conversation, you need to expand your pool of friends.

    The sound of hoof beats cross the glade!
    Good folk, lock up your son and daughter!
    Beware the deadly flashing blade,
    unless you want to end up shorter!
    Black Adder! Black Adder! He rides a pitch black steed!
    Black Adder! Black Adder! He’s very bad indeed!
    Black - his gloves of finest mole.
    Black - his codpiece made of metal.
    His horse is blacker than a vole.
    his pot is blacker than his kettle.
    Black Adder! Black Adder! With many a cunning plan!
    Black Adder! Black Adder! You horrid little man!

    100% his hair wasn’t long enough to begin with and the stylist told him so and he still went ahead. Also what’s chad about that? It’s a chav haircut and chavs are like the opposite of chad.

    If you look closely at the left picture the hair cut isn’t actually good, the tattoos, beard, earrings and confidence is carrying.

    Yeah, this is a terrible attempt at that cut. The real thing is more of a fade while OP got a really high bowl cut. Lack of product doesn’t help, but product can’t fix the lack of fade.
