  • Please discuss the hair products for men. This confuses me most😂 For example, I like the hold and feel of texture paste but can't find one with a little shine. When I try to combine it with other products to make my hair look not so dry, I lose the hold of the paste. I don't like things such as pomade since it makes it feel oily and sticky. I'm sure a lot of other guys, like me, don't know what to do to achieve the look they want.

  • I usually fade my own hair because me and my previous barbers spoke two different languages in terms of the look I wanted. It's an everyday struggle to find a barber who truly understands you.

  • The fact that this video would be virtually impossible without constant pictorial references exemplifies the fallibility of language and why what you say to your barber, no matter how meticulously worded, will probably not cut it.

  • I learned that a skin fade was done with a razor down to, idk, the skin. But I guess that explains why every barber I went to in California never did a razor fade unless I specifically asked for it in crayon... and even then, I wouldn't get it. Best Barber I've had to this day is in Connecticut

  • I disagree with a lot of this. Most of it is spot on though. Comb over is def a term I will use as a barber for what he will call a side part. Cuz you wouldn't call it a side part if there is no PART in the hair. A lot of people want a "side part" but with no part. Comb over is def more universal for someone who just wants there hair combed over to the side, if u want to part your hair then say u want a side part
