Looking Different To Your Age

Maybe cutting a flattop is no longer part of their training.  Don't you guys need some sort of license to cut hair?  I've had my share of bad haircuts so I just do it myself.

reddog:
@clint902 , yes, barbers are licensed here. And yes, they attempt to train them on flattops. A few get the hang of it, but because it is not a popular haircut, I don't think very many get enough experience cutting them. So, a very small percentage become really good at cutting a perfect flattop. I think the best way to find one is if you see a guy with an excellent cut, is to ask them who their barber is.

I've been BBC (mostly, I'll explain) for over 20 years. 5-10 years ago I tried to grow my hair back with the intention of an eventual ponytail. When my hair got to be about 1/2 inch long it actually made me look about 20 years older than my age at that time. I had no noticeable hair on top and the sides and back were solid gray.

jason_greets:
I haven't been told either way in that aspect.  Part of the reason I decided to change my look is because I wanted to look more mature since I'm normally baby-faced.  To do that I decided to go for a bald look, grow out my facial hair, and get some ear piercings.

I think it has worked. I went from looking like in my early-to-mid 20s to late 20s and early 30s. Some people told me that I now look like a rapper and another like a chad, the latter which I think it's a bit of a stretch.

reddog:
It work completely opposite for older guys with thinning white hair! When I first shaved off my full head of snow white hair, most people thought I looked at least 10 years younger.
