dreads at the top of my fade. Not the best pic, but you get the idea

[okonomi]

Awesome!

[kelleydenham]

Got my hair cut last week. Next cut will probably fade the sides.

[defiance]

London-ers, any salon recommendations? Preferably with a stylist proficient in creative cuts.

[eequalsmcbrill]

Will jewcurl when wet. Will poof the fuck up when dry. this is in between. fade is about a week old.

i don't know much about hair anymore since i get buzz cuts, but those are some long sideburns.

i'm growing my hair out from a buzz cut, what should i do during the awkward stages?

[boy better know]

wear a beanie

[OkayOkay]

went a bit outside my comfort zone and let my homie's girl do her thing. She wanted to cut in a gangster part with the trimmers and fade it super tight. Stoked on how it came out.

had a pompadour type thing for awhile, and then went for a jimmy darmody undercut, but too many strangers approached me and tried to have a conversation with me, so i had to show my inner hatred

[DJ_Flame]

[OkayOkay]

kinda tight tho ^

i just do 1 cup hot water to 1 tablespoon baking soda, and mix it every time. if you keep it in a sealed tub of baking soda in your bathroom with a plastic measuring cup and spoon it only takes 10 seconds to mix it.

i've never tried the 1 tbsp to 1tsbp method, i've heard its like a paste?

the main thing that's hard about the no poo is getting used to the fact that it won't seem like its doing anything for the first little while. give it 2-3 weeks at least to get your scalp making the correct amount of oil again.

I'm a little confused, so you do this everyday?

do you shower everyday? if so, do you shampoo each time?

[Ecotrons]

^no I don't shampoo everyday and actually a lot of other people don't either... I thought the whole point of using this baking soda crap was to keep the natural oils in your hair. even when washing with just baking soda I'm sure it still strips oil so it would just be counter productive to what you were trying to accomplish in the first place...

your scalp/skin is always producing oil. washing your hair is just to clean away the dirt and sweat that accumulates. the point of baking soda is to avoid adding unnatural chemicals to your hair. all the extra shit they put in commercial shampoos are for women who want to smell good. they may have medicinal uses too (like dandruff), but it's not like you take medicine everyday either, unless prescribed or addicted.

[joeyod007]

i'd shampoo once or twice a week thats what i do

[conqueror]

okayokay - i had a razor part before, its cool for a while but growing it out kinda sucks.

[crumps brother]

looking for a pomade/hair product recommendation

my aim is medium to strong hold, mediumish shine, doesn't harden when dry, and must be water soluble

the cheaper the better

[canadafaf]

^ want something similar, hair is getting longer and don't want to have to deal with it in my face at all times

[conqueror]

uppercut pomade is water soluable, has med hold and shine - is definitely one of the best. not cheap, though.

[crumps brother]

^does it harden after it dries??

[conqueror]

a little, but nothing like layrite superhold.

[crumps brother]

^$25 is a bit steep but it's tempting

maybe if i don't find any other alternatives that are close to what i'm looking for

[conqueror]

everyone always cries about the price of pomade/similar hair products. i've never really understood it - even a jar of the 'expensive' stuff (uppercut) will still last months and months.

[mr.invincible]

bought a Philip B maui wowie sea salt spray. stupid question - do you spray first and then pomade or other way around?

and what's a good pomade that has good hold and it's a matte finish.

my hair keeps falling back down after i brush it back

[akuma no uta]

^^^ see, when i had my underxcut i was trying to find a product that would let my hair fall if my moved my head too fast or leaned over ala james darmody in boardwalk but couldnt find anything, all the stuff i used made my hair hard and crunchy.
