Got a video shoot coming up in about 3 weeks, so it’s time to get my haircut. Professionally, this time.
My last 20 or 30 cuts I gave myself, often with clippers.
Suggestions? I believe my face shape would be considered oblong or oval, and my hair right now is a little longer than medium length. With no discernible shape. I have a very slight natural curl/wave.
Put links to photos in the comments, please.
And remember: outlaw. If my hair doesn’t look like it could roll out of bed, pull on some dirty jeans, have a couple of breakfast beers and then hustle pool before coming home to bang some chick whose name it’s completely forgotten, I’m not interested.
I’m leaning this way, incidentally.
Go with the Joe the Plumber look. He’s the biggest outlaw in the country these days.
Plus conservative chicks can spot you that way.

Definitely this. You will look hot.
The G. Gordon Liddy look screams: Outlaw.
I was hoping for something a bit more constructive. The last time I really had my hair cut by a good stylist was when I had the duran duran thing going. Think Zohan’s Paul Mitchell cut from 1987…
in honor to our first half black president
i would suggesst
half corn rows
half fritos[glueed to your head-medusa style]
oh- snap…too bad you didn’t ask this question before halloween
I have a very slight natural curl/wave.
Maybe this?
Seriously, all fucking around aside. I like the haircut you showed for if you are looking for longer. If you want to go shorter, you would look decent in this. I like it because you can use your natural waves and a tiny bit of hair product to flip it up as shown in the photo, or go all beatnick and let the front down across your forhead in a broody, Jim Caveziel-ish look.

get a milatary buzz cut
added benefits
when u pass the cops on the street
they see ur haircut and say
shee-it
that musta been a cop
I like that, Lisa. On my shortlist with this similar cut.
The reason I like the Depp cut is my bangs haven’t grown out quite that long yet, so it should be grown in by the time I do the vid shoot.
That whole going by the book thing just didn’t work out so well last time, did it?
I am firmly in the “short to medium short” camp. I like Depp’s cut, but it is hard to pull that off without looking like a former member of Tears for Fears.
a drug dealer told me
get a cop hair cut
a little on top
bald on the sides
put a little

i haven’t got pulled over since
it’s different for girls
so- ladies
don’t take offence
Hair is over rated.
Yes I like that one too, Perf.
I like the tonsure. It says OUTLAW.
I also say short or shortish because medium length styles such as this are super cute, but tend to be too much work for the Outlaw. And I can’t see you taking the trouble to carefully blow dry your hair and strategically apply product in the required manner to keep it from looking like you used a Flowbee.
Bed hair is in nowadays, it seems. So are scaled-downed quiffs. So, if you must get a quiff, avoid the 70s types, and go for the minimalist style.
Honestly, though, I’d go with the Nightfly.

LOL. I am going to be giggling at that one for a while.
LOL!!!
colin farrell
I’m home, so I don’t have broadband and can’t see the videos.
The outlaw-wannabees and tough guys around here are going for either pseudo-military, or very Fifties with less oil and more gel. One fairly popular cut is a cross between military “white sidewalls” and a mohawk, with hair about half an inch long on the top of the head and very short along the sides; a variant on that has it quite long on the top and gathered into a queue or ponytail in back. Another, a coming thing among the jocks, is (no shit) pretty much the sort of thing you’d have expected on, say, Bing Crosby circa 1955, with a very visible part and trimmed to clear the ears. The bit in front should of course be arranged so that the first stage of dishevelment is a lock of hair falling across the eyes.
Black guys seem to be reverting to the “thin mat of curls” style I remember from the same era — no. 2 or no. 3 clipper all over and let it spring back. To the extent I have any preference about what other men look like, the style seems very practical and businesslike.
It’s all very nostalgic for me.
In this area, at least, long hair is reserved for the defiantly self-declared as useless.
Regards,
Ric
Mohawk Outlaw.
old joke
under every ponytail
is a horses ass
god i sound like mcain on leno!
Dude, go retro. Go with the guy’s cut, not the chick’s.
And Dan Collins, I have to tell you: you are one funny bastard. Tonsure. I lost my fucking tonsils laughing at that one.
High and tight like a Marine.
Short. Very short. That way the “instructors” at the re-education, learning and tolerance camps will not be able to use hair holds as a part of their corrective instructional program for racist outlaws.
I’ve been doing the Marine stuff for a while now. That’s what clippers do.
I like the McQueen cut, but I’m not sure it works as well with my hair color.
Maybe I’ll go blond.
A blond Afro?
Go high and tight.
The reason I said high and tight is because at least then when people say you are a racist at least you will look the part. IMHO
after the age of 35-guys stick with a haircut

i don’t much care
if u want to go get ur hair re-combobulated at $$$$ a whack
give me a blow-job
ok
i love you!
Sue me. I like short.
Still have a penchant for Russell Crowe ca 2000.
My hair has a lot of wave/curl to it and gets uncontrollable when it’s longer. I like a #4 buzz on the sides and about 2 1/2 – 3 inches on top going back past the absolute top of my head and then tapering off, blended into the sides of course. Even when my hair looks wild, it doesn’t look too bad at all. It tends to want to stand straight up in front, but with the ends kind of bent over.
Then again, from 1991 to 2005 I never had it cut or cut it myself. I had all-natural hippie hair. It seemed to break off at about, maybe, 18 inches at most. Cut it to get a job, and the job I ended up with didn’t require a hair cut. Such is life.
PD I have to agree. I once paid for a girls haircut and then she blew me. The love you came later though.
Mcqueen is good.
Jeff trust your professional, let them show you some styles that are appropriate with what you’ve been given. They’ll know what will work with your hair. I’ve tried to go the S. McQueen route but my hair is too fine, too straight, and there is too much of it, so I ended up looking like a blond Mr. Spock.
I could also talk about the suit I bought that didn’t help with getting a job either, but that would be off-topic.
I’ve cut my own hair for the last 20 years. I do it better than anyone I ever paid. A little high and a little tight with no sideburns at all.
The just rolled out of bed look is a precursor to the outright hippie look which begets the fabulous manly fag look a few years later.
Hair should be no longer 3/8in when it grows from any place on a man.
Lisa already said what I was going to, about blow drying and gels. I wet my hair, part it down the middle, and brush it straight back. Allow to dry. Run fingers through hair periodically when I remember I have hair. Outlaw baby!
Oh and dig it, a blade runner cut.
High and tight. If you don’t want it to look military, ask to keep the length on top, but definately white-wall the sides and back.
side topic/tangent
dyed hair! hilarious
i know i’m supposed to look in your eyes[ as a general-be nice thing]

manboy.Fixed that. There is no way in hell I’m clipping or shaving my chest, legs, pits or junk. Ears and nose only when necessary.
Flock of Sea Gulls.
But seriously, my wife loves when I get the high and tight but still keep a few inches on top. Kind of the classic Ollie North.
However, to paraphrase Clarence Worley “If I was in prison with Brad Pitt, I’d let him fuck me.” Yes, that is a thumbs up for your earlier link, Jeff He just can pull it off, and so could you.

thanks for the smoke!
flock of beagles! lol!
I do a high and tight. Civilians call it a ‘fade.’ I tell ’em to use a number one clipper on the bulkheads and make it sharp topside. Since they don’t understand what I’m saying, they just cut it short and leave it long on top. They really go ape shit when I ask if I can use the head.
“flock of beagles! lol!”
So?….
Andrew Sullivan haircut?
SaraW, nice Blade Runner cut. That’s cool.
how bout the ‘friar tuck?’
reminds me of eggs
How about a Sullivan? Kiefer or Gilbert O‘?
I’ve had the Blade Runner cut. A timeless classic.
But for outlaw, you can’t beat Keef.
I’m sure you’re glad you asked.
My tight is skin. But watch out for the bump and that mole on the back. Thin the top.
And I refuse to use product. It is under a hat all day anyway.

Forget the cut. Nothing says outlaw like a good hat and a nice ‘stache:

buttons,
I had/have a barber back home that at one point three generations of Cox males went to. After I had gone away and my grandfather passed away, I had not seen him in (my barber, Smitty) in 10 years, and he still remembered me and my cut. Last I had seen him before had been for my haircut for my wedding.
ewb,
And a fellow joooooooo.
Kate: You’re not that witty. Give it a rest.
I’d go with the John Yoo:

I am commenting on a thread about men’s haircut suggestions? I am going to comment first, then read the comments, because I am already starting to feel, at the very least, a little metro, if not a little light in the loafers for even thinking like this. I would keep the clipper style, 1/2 guard on the side, into a high fade with a 3 clipper on top. But I give myself a haircut every other day, and kind of look like a blind epileptic Edward Scissorhands did my hair. So, YMMV.
Or … drumroll … MULLET !!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing says “danger: does not play well with others” like the Taxi Driver mohawk.
I want approachable outlaw, with a hint of insouciance, people.
Not psycho killer.
Mine is in the process of growing out. I have shaved my head every other morning for about the last 3 years, and I am finding that I have waaaaaaaaaaaay more grey hair than I recall having before. Plus, I am at that point in growing out my hair where it just sticks straight out, because it is not quite long enough to start laying down.
#69
i would agree
but the harvey keitel pimp w a bandana hair cut was equally creeps
or the albert brooks uptight white boy fro
That’s what my bedhead looks like. And to think I’ve been wetting into submission all these years…
For the record, an outlaw wouldn’t spend much time fucking with his hair. Just let it rip.
Shit, just pick one of these and move on.
There is a lesson in the definition of “unkempt” in that photo.
2 hippies.
Insouciance? Would you settle for louche?
tough guy look
Express your feelings about Barack Obama (and mine about Ed Morrissey) with your new hairstyle in one fell swoop.
I think you should grow a handlebar mustache and use Maccassar oil.
The Brad Pitt one is nice but I think this picture is more you.
I’ve always liked Keanu Reeve’s hair. Not his acting, just his hair.

http://gipilix.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/house-md-promo-season-4_06.jpg
Maccassar oil – That has to be racist in some language.
Since we are all generally a bunch of blithering idiots, I suggest you take the hot chick Zelda’s advice.
Try the moving-on-up cut.
OK Jeff G,
I’m no metrosexual, but here goes…
Since you have an oval head shape, just about anything goes; kinda like the warm and fuzzy, post-modern, world of moral relativism…
I’m thinking that for modern times, and a badass look, why don’t you go for the modified crew cut; nothing that needs a building permit though…
Consider this look demonstrated by Val Kilmer, or some of his other looks shown here…
And, I mean, nothing says Rebel! like some good ol’ James Dean…
Or, a tough guy like you could always go in for the chiseled Mike Nomad look…
But nothing, I mean nothing, says OUTLAW! like the Dennis Hopper look from Easy Rider; if your hair grows quick enough to get to that length…
While in engineering school, I always wore the long hair with ponytail look, but these days I go with more of the Mike Nomad…
The choice is yours; Outlaw! or chic…
Bon Chance…
Best Wishes
Another good suggestion would be to do the exact opposite of what thor or nishit suggest.
Zelda, just how do you distinguish Keanu’s hair from his acting?
Of course, there’s always classic OUTLAW: Marlon Brando

http://www.moviecritic.com.au/images/marlon-brando-streetcar-named-desire1.jpg
Dan – It is easy to distinguish. The hair has a bigger personality, and a much broader range and depth of emotion.
Mohawk. In International Orange.
I will just be GODDAMNED if I am going through 92 links to see if THIS was already suggested.
At times like this Jeff, you’re probably thinking just how unfair life really is, having passed you over on the whole male pattern thing and thereby eliminating any possibility of pulling off an authentic comb over.
I can’t even imagine what a heartless bastard of a cop it would take to arrest the creature linked in post 93.
60’s Tokyo Ronin?
There is no way in hell I’m clipping or shaving my chest, legs, pits or junk
So you’re staying with the shag-carpet in the ballroom? That’s one way to go.
Heard tell Daniel Boone let his hair grow. Didn’t have time for the barber, what with all the newspaper drives, bake sales and community theater to boot.
Well, outlaw, it’s not just the hair. It’s the accouterments, and the attitude.
Now, this is probably what you’re looking for. Ignore the accouterments.
“Zelda, just how do you distinguish Keanu’s hair from his acting?”
His hair grows from his head.
Jeff,
I recently went with the Papillon. Keeps the head lice down, and you don’t have to use your fellow prisoner’s glistening, sweaty back as a mirror. Plus, nothing says OUTLAW like a prison tat of a butterfly on your chest.
Anyone notice how Yahoo! photos won’t retain their permalinks for longer than, say, 15 minutes? Impermalinks, then.
Thank Gadwin for Print Screen..
How about the modern Hopper. Scissors cut, as short as possible w/o standing up, light part in natural direction.
Or Deniro in the Deer Hunter.
Living near Camp Pendleton, I say go for the Marine’s Marine cut, the horseshoe flat-top:
http://www.menshairstylesonline.com/Hair/View-Hair.asp?Key=359&Title=rudy's%20horseshoe&Type=0
I suggest you cut them all.
And if you can look good in the latest Daniel Craig style, then by all means…
Stop! Murder us not, tonsured rumpots!
I like your hair the way it is, Jeff. Plus, you don’t have to change anything to get a bit part as a soldier from the future in The Sarah Connor Chronicles, or Terminator (N+1).
Nothing says outlaw light dreads on a white boy.
like. arg
Oh forget everything else.
http://www.wallpaperbase.com/wallpapers/celebsm/gerardbutler/gerard_butler_1.jpg
And don’t bother with the hair. Just look like him.
Bob Reed beat me to it, but the James Dean (http://www.bergen-filmklubb.no/images/James_Dean_1.jpg) is classic outlaw. Don’t know if your hair will do it, but it’s worth a shot.
As long as you have “Fuck da PO-lice” shaved into your hair somewhere, you can’t go wrong.
If you’re gonna go the outlaw way you will need to accessorize. Some sort of angry tattoo on your neck or up near your eye. No butterflies or lady bugs.
Yummy, Zelda.
Yeah if the Perf could grow freckles and red hair, then maybe he could rock this..
Mmmmmm.
Okay now I am going to go register on the sex offenders list. I feel creepy for harboring lust for one of Diana’s munchkins. I was a teen when he was born.
High and tight: #1 on the sides, and #3 on the top.
I finally found someone who can cut my hair and NOT talk to me. Takes 5 minutes.
Don’t register yourself, Lisa. There is nothing wrong with harboring a little lust for Barely Legal Young (Royal) Males. It’s beautiful. Natural even.
So no one’s asked the important question. Since, you know, “clothes make the man”. Can’t recommend a “do” unless we know where you buy your clothes? Brands? What stores?
You know, I think we need MORE threads here at PW with links to yummy men.
Definitely, Carin.
It’s disgusting the way you objectify us.
Ummmm… I denounce myself?
Pinches Dan’s ass.
Your outlaw tats in Oz are a bit primitive I like neck tatoo “cut here” and knuckles love hate for Jeff. I think I understand his quandaries re self decoration. Here we have a saying: He’s so cheap, he cuts his own hair. Having been of the mind that hairdressers are a bourgeois guild, I also have styled my own locks. Maybe totally bald, earings and large mo – then the chicks will all try to seduce you from the gay path you are taking. Even try shaving higher and creating mohawk, then dyeing it bright red – it certainly says Outlaw, also is very retro. Your fetching fashionista, Mindlesley
Go with the FZ
The only haircut that can roll out of bed and go with minimum maintenance is short. #2 blades on the sides/back and long enough on the top to brush over with just water.
Outlaw it isn’t, but that should be just inside you. A surprise package as it were.
Besides, if you are going to get into a barfight, you don’t want to have long hair, which gives a foe something to grab onto. Even if you knock him down, if he has your hair in his hand, your head is going that way and that leaves you open to a poolcue in the ribs or a barstool across the back.
Don’t give an advantage like that to an enemy.
Hey Mike, did you forget who you were talking to with that barfight advice?
#127:
Not at all. I avoid bar fights. But it does not matter how good you are at grappling, if someone can fix you in place others can bring a world of hurt onto you. And being able to hold your head by the hair? You are fixed in place; no matter how you can hurt that guy, if he has your hair clutched hard then you are following him to the floor, and then a beat-down happens. You have to be able to move or you are dead. Like move to the door and get the hell out, because the cops will be on their way and they won’t be happy-campers. The guys that are running they won’t care about, the guys that are staying and fighting? Different story.
Keep your keys and wallet on you. When a fight starts, you book. Use your skills to clear your way out and let them keep your jacket. Losing a jacket is better than winning a night in jail.
And if you do book – go back the next day and settle up with the manager. Most of them understand your motives, and will appreciate it. That helps the next time there is a problem, ’cause they can say to the cops “Not him, the other guy – he started it all. This guy is all right.”
P.S. – Don’t bug the waitresses either – their word (as the few sober people about) is invaluable.
P.P.S. – billiard balls make great brass knuckles – so I have heard.
i haven’t got in a bar fight since my “friend” got in a one on one with some dude
went outside the bar
then another guy jumped in on my “friend”…
i thought hey- thats not fair!
so i jump in to fight/seperate/whatever
then some big marine proceeded to kick my ass up and down jump street
rubbed my head on the curbstone and shit
i got my ass kicked!
which-hey ur drunk- u kinda don’t feel it…
bt 4 the next three weeks i looked like elephant man
mirror mirror on the wall
avoid me!
i think that Daniel Craig is only second to Pierce Brosnan when playing the role of James Bond”.:
