Pls post some pics of suggestions.

Also how the hell do people get their hair to stay up and forward like in this pic above? Lots of wax? Is it high maintenance? Is it too Zoomer?

You've reminded me that I need to go to my barber. I'll ask him about what specifically he does to make my old chunky ass skull look really cool. But it involves a lot of weird razorblade shenanigans, and it looks great even in between showers or stylings.

He's basically a hair wizard. He must tell me his secrets.

    I got a very lovely haircut, and he told me:

    Middle of the face is neutral territory. Ears to cheeks, wrapping around the head, you should generally buzz that down pretty short. Taper the hair up and forward, but respect where natural hair parts lay. I usually get the top cut down to around a bit over an inch in the front for styling purposes, and very slightly shorter going back.

    If you are fortunate enough to have a beard, taper it down and forward, to either show off, or mask, where your jawline is. But it should present like you got a strong jaw.

    I don't know if that's helpful for your situation, but that's what my guy told me. Lebanese guy, committed anarchist, and I don't know how he reconciles that with owning a barber shop, but I cannot deny the man's talent.

    He cuts my (trans-masc) son's hair, and it looks pretty good.
