How to get your optimal haircut

[JamesHowlett]

Been thinking about this recently and it’s actually legit considering my own head and other pics I’ve looked at.

Basically:

Keep your hair longer in areas where the skull is smaller and keep your hair shorter in areas where the skull is larger.

When talking about these sizes it’s relative to the face, here are some examples:

- If you have wide temples relative to your face, have a fade.
- If you have a short/narrow forehead, keep volume at your fringe.
- If the top of your skull is tall, keep that bit short.
- If the back of your skull is flat, keep volume there.

If you have the opposite of these examples it’s obviously vice versa.

Yup, idk why this isn't basic knowledge for everyone here by now. There's no one size fits all haircut and none are objectively better or worse it just depends. Not everyone has the right skull shape (or density) for tik tok pretty boy shit and likewise not everyone has the right skull shape for a fade. Even your zygos can be a factor in what cut is ideal for you, it's highly dependent

Assess your skull and choose your style accordingly

Exactly.

I’d love to have a Tommy Shelby haircut but my face width overpowers my temples so it just makes me look fatter.

if you have healthy hair it literally doesnt matter what haircut you have

you can just get the trendiest/copy whoever women think is attractive on insta/tiktok at the moment or keep it long or w/e

your hair being thick and healthy looking is the most important factor not the style imo

This is only true if your skull doesn't deviate from average too much in any way. If that is the case then sure you can rock anything and it doesn't matter, but if not it does actually become quite important to choose the right cut

Sure you can get away with certain styles with healthy hair but I’m talking about getting your optimal haircut.

Also I’m not talking about the hairstyle, I’m talking about the haircut, both are two different things.

[JamesHowlett]

Trust me, this is the case.

 

[JamesHowlett]

@ifyouwannabemylover I’m open to any counter examples?

if you have wide temples you'd want to make them look narrower so why get a fade? wide temples need longer hair

wide temples + short hair/fade = alien head

You’ve got it the wrong way round.

Having more volume at the sides would clearly make your head wider?

Wide temples relative to face always looks better with fade/short hair. Here’s one example off the top of my head:

his aren't that wide imo and he still has decent length on top falling over his temple area which is what you need. he pulled off longer hair just fine too.

His temples are noticeable wider than his face, pretty obvious really, here’s another angle:

Also this just proves you know nothing about hair and appeal. Every single girl I’ve spoken to about this finds Cillian literally revolting with long hair, calling him a frog too. Everyone thinks he looks the best with shaved sides.

Another example is Luke Evans, he has a large skull everywhere (especially temples) and has always looked better with a Buzzcut:

He looked best with medium length hair

aight go get your fade bro

literally not a single point you listed there makes any sort of sense and you didn't mention medium/long hair anywhere letting me know you're another retard with male gaze who still thinks every mofo should be running around with some short/fade haircut even when it makes them look like bloated potato heads

You have the logical capacity of a fucking child.

I literally said you should have longer hair on the areas where your skull is small relative to your face.

Posting pictures without comparison is utterly pointless, I can easily post a picture of a truecel with long hair. You need to have comparisons like I did.

Do you have a pic of the first guy with medium hair all over? I can already tell that his face would look tiny if he had medium hair all over.

The second guy, his jaw looks as wide as his temples, so using my guide he clearly wouldn’t go skin all the way up his sides.

Are you seeing how retarded your arguments are now? Go learn to read and stop wasting my time.

 

[ifyouwannabemylover]

Go learn to read and stop wasting my time.

you're overanalyzing shit that hardly matters. go ask a bunch of foids whether that guy you posted above looks better with a buzzcut like you said and they'll shut you right down. but I'm out.

he is a well known braindead redpiller. fade, weight, stubble guy

People change, haircut depends, there’s no one size fits all.

Low Bodyfat is the number 1 individual looksmax, no debate about that. It’s also hard and there are way too many people here who aren’t lean which is why I make fat loss threads.

Facial hair hair makes majority of men look better, again no debate.

So I don’t get what your issue with me is.

 

[JamesHowlett]

My rule is as simple as can be; more hair where skull is smaller, less hair where it’s bigger, where am I over analysing? I mean, you’re trying to debunk my guide (and failing hard). This is a looksmaxxing website.

I’ve asked plenty of girls the Cillian question and their views are strongly for Cillian having the short sides.

if you are overweight and need to ask people if you should lose weight there must be something wrong with you

 

[JamesHowlett]

I’ve seen it here many times.

I also see people talking about surgery while overweight, it’s fucked up.

Surprised no one came in here saying “curtains/long hair/fade etc is the best” lol, I think people are learning

Took me a while to realise myself that fade isn’t for everyone.

The best way to get the optimal haircut is having your own personal hair stylist/barber.

It matters u just arent looksmaxxed

And hairstyle matters too but idk how to max it out.
Tought ? @JamesHowlett

We should start a blackpill barbershop where we have a team of autists thoroughly analyze bone structure and ratios to determine exactly how the clients hair should be cut for optimal psl, then our in house barber team makes it happen

Hair matters a lot, people who say otherwise are delusional.

Hairstyle depends on the actual haircut.

Haha this would actually ascend a lot of normies tbh

 

[Cope]

I guess, but the only way to really get the hairstyle you want is having a person who will listen to your every request. Like how much volume you want on the top, whether you would like to get it blended or not, using scissors versus using clippers, etc.

@sytyl what hairstyle

My guide is about knowing what to get. The execution of said haircut is out of your control and irrelevant to what I’m saying.

I liked the one you DMed me with but try a messier style as well

I honestly think every guy would benefit from medium length that blends in perfectly to shorter sides and back. You want to find someone that will primarily use scissors. This allows you play around with your hair enough to go with the style that you would want. I personally keep my bangs down and to the right since it makes me look younger and I still look like I'm 16. This wouldn't apply to black guys though obviously.

You’re projecting and prescribing a specific haircut to every man, this is objectively wrong.

Everyone has different head and face shapes, this softer style wouldn’t suit a lot of men.

I think there was a study that bangs/hair should be dressed to the right always but yes overall it works for many people

 

[Cope]

The execution of said haircut is out of your control

It isn't though, you can say things like "I only want a 1/4 inch off the top and 1 inch on the side and back, and want it blended with scissors". Getting the right hairstylist that will actually listen to you gives you that control.

You’re completely missing the point. My guide is telling you what to say to the barber, like how much to take off etc, so what’s the issue?

I’m saying you can’t literally control the barber’s motor skills. If you say “take off 1/4 inch” and the barber listens, you can’t control whether they’ll make a mistake or miscalculate.

Well yea, but for the most part every guy could achieve said haircut and look good. It would just depend on how they styled it at that point. Obviously you have to consider head shape, hair thickness, hair texture, etc. but your hairstylist, if you get the right one, should be able to figure that out.

I’m talking about what would be optimal, of course there are guys that can look good with a lot of cuts.

My guide is considering head shape and letting you know what to tell your barber/hairstylist. If they know exactly what to do with your hair without you saying anything then that’s fine.

Well duh, I'm simply saying that you can control the outcome if you know what to ask ahead of time.

Yea, but it's not rocket science. I like my current hairstyle because it gives me that prettyboy look without looking like too much of a fuckboy.

 

[Deprived]

Spot on abt temple width I think

 

[JamesHowlett]

Spot on abt temple width I think

It’s literally the reason why fades make fat people look like bloated potatoes; their face is wider than their temples.

I have masseters as wide as my temples (or wider depending on bloat/bf%), skin fade with medium length top makes my face look giga-bloated.

Only time skin fade suits my face is if I buzz the top to a very small length, this seems to bring the whole face into balance.

 

[Alexanderr]

This is all very true.
