Haircut

It's getting to that time when I need another haircut. I woke up this morning and walked into the bathroom to see there, in the mirror, thick tufts of my hair sticking awkwardly out here, there and everywhere. I have particularly unruly hair and it is very hard to tame regardless of whether it's short or long. For me, getting a haircut that looks good is a difficult thing. A lot of what I ask for is thinning of my hair as it gets so thick on the back of my head. This can usually be achieved with a request for a short back and sides with a No2 grade razor. This approach, however, results in me looking like a ten year old boy (Not great when you're of age and at university).

More often than not, each haircut is different and I can ask for the same cut at the same barbers and come out looking different every time. In recent times, I can say I've had maybe two or three haircuts that I truly liked. The rest were more of a maintenance thing and something I needed before my hair smothered me in my sleep.

I've been experimenting with choppy and sweeping fringes but generally keeping the emphasis on a tidy haircut. I don't want to walk out like a monstrosity you see in town centres, hanging round the alternative clothing shops with their scooter / skateboard.

Anyway, rant over. Wish me luck hehe.
