It makes for a very harsh and artificial look, and most guys do not bother maintaining it so a few days after getting a fresh haircut this hair starts growing back and looks like a mess. I don't get it as it seems completely unnecessary.

My guess is those cut in lines and forehead line-ups are put there to keep guys coming back. They look good for a few days and then they look bad as it grows out. So you have to keep up with weekly appointments at the barber to keep it fresh. I have asked a few young guys at my gym about their "defined" haircuts, and they all keep weekly appointments. Many do the same detailing with their beard. It is a lot of cost, and a lot of time. And I agree that it looks artificial and totally un-natural.

I think some guys even use a pencil to make the hairline even more extreme and artificial looking. Some guys end up looking like an NPC from an early low-resolution 3D video game.
I love the look of a fresh fade haircut, but one of the reasons I resumed shaving my head is because of how rapidly fades fade away. I guess the edging in the front of the hairline makes the need for a fresh haircut more apparent too. I really enjoyed my barbershop for those 2 years but the idea of going once a week seemed too extreme, but is necessary to maintain fades, flattops, and other short hairstyles and I just didn't have the interest in going anything more than once every 3 weeks.

When I grew my hair back several times, I liked cutting my own flattop. But, like you say Rusty, it takes alot of maintenance. I would find something to touch up every few days. Then, at some point I wouldn't like how it was looking, so I went back to shaving.
Razorhead:
@reddog: that’s an amazing looking flattop. Kudos to you for the self cut. That is a tough cut to do.

Either they brush on "Biggen" dye... or use an airbrush. Lasts about as long as hair fibers...
Yeah, I don't get a hairstyle or beard style that does not hold up more than 2 days.
