5 reasons my hair sucks, and why yours might, too.

[@jeromeur8636]

I've only known you from youtube for not even a month, but ever since the first video I was amazed by your knowledge and being. You're such a blessing mate, i love your thoughts and videos. Keep being you and doing good, andrew!

[@tallglassofh2o931]

I’m not a hairdresser or barber but I can listen to you talk all day. Very insightful

[@fannycraddock99]

Andrew, you hair is cool! It's your unique style and fits your personality. It may not be 'on trend' whatever that is but what does that matter. Stay safe.

[@paulrobson7887]

Brilliant honest video mate. You talk 100% sense. Just stumbled upon your channel and love all your videos. You present in such an honest way and aren’t afraid to express your own insecurities which is really charming.

[@rossbarr-scragg4076]

Spot on. Being open, honest and forthcoming with recognising your own 'imperfections' brings strength to you and defeats any trolls before they even attempt to bring you down. Brings to mind the concluding rap battle at the end of 8 Mile. There's some really great points in this video, Genetic limitations, Fashion vs Style, Flashy v Functional, Doing vs Having and consistently building a relationship with your barber/stylist to allow for growth outside of you limitations and maximise your potential result. Loving your recent output and glad you've grown more comfortable with KZbin. Hope you get to build that bond with a new pro buddy after this situation blows over. (No Thumbs Down yet!)

[@davyd6641]

Honestly what makes you cool is your mindset cause the way you explain things makes it really clear and entertaining, keep doing what you love and don’t let negativity interfere 👍

[@antonlossev3302]

This was simply an awesome video! I really like the honesty and vulnerability, not only about your work but about yourself as well!

[@maggiedasso]

I really enjoyed this video! Your perspective and advice was a breath of fresh air! You caught my attention when you were describing your hair type and it was like your were describing my hair exactly 😂 but try having that hair as a woman! lol. I looked like a baby orangutan when I was little. I had my hair long (32") my entire childhood but I literally just had it in a ponytail all the time, and it was a pitifully thin ponytail since my hair is not only pin straight but also fine. After I married my husband I started exploring new hairstyles. I went much shorter and over the years and hairstylist after hairstylist butchered my hair, not listening to what I would tell them about my hair growth pattern and cowlicks. The last gal I went to would cut my hair, then send me home without styling it because she had such a hard time with it, tell me to put my hat back on before I left and told me not to tell anyone where I get my hair cut until I went home and styled it myself. I finally got so frustrated with the whole process I shaved it all off. I wore wigs for a year or so then started to grow it out and I have maintained my own pixie for the past ten years. Cutting the back of my head is a challenge but I have had much better results doing it myself than any stylist I have ever been to. When I shaved my head I did it to start fresh. I needed to redefine what my hair meant to me. Before, my hair WAS me, but now my hair is an outlet for expression. So on the days it does some wild thing I just laugh and roll with it 😂 It's very freeing to realize that my hair doesn't have to be "fashionable" in order for me to enjoy it. Coming to that realization has allowed me to have a lot more fun with trying new styles and be comfortable with what my hair CAN do. I so appreciate hearing that through your video and hope it encourages others too.

[@Tony-fp3vm]

Hello Andrew, I have gained a knowledge and insight from you that is priceless. I have been searching for certain realizations that only you have articulated. For this generosity of truth from you, I am truly grateful. Thank you so much. I think you are simply amazing in your awareness that only a certain few are blessed with. Much respect.

[@spikestoyou]

You have an AWESOME mindset. Loved hearing you talk about this

[@mannypacbeloud5786]

That bald fade on you was clean af

[@justindrouin8502]

nothing more annoying than going into a barbershop, telling them how you like to style it and then they just default to slicking it back anyways.

[@VerzideGF]

^

[@nielsdijkstra5807]

Lol yeah that happens way to often

[@Seraphim013]

That unfortunately is the sign of a stylist who has given up. I work along side many barbers who thats just all they do, and they train people (clients) to think thats all they can get or have. Which makes my job very boring, skin fadez and combovers.

[@julie7935]

I'm enjoying the bejesus out of your videos tonight! 😂 Not only do we have the same 1a dense hair (and ooddles of tattoos), I also agree 💯 in style over fashion. Personally, I can think of nothing worse than being 'fashionable'. I think the natural, lived-in, imperfect look, w/ a little bit of wear and tear around the edges, and a sense of individuality is waaay more attractive. Glad I found your channel. 🙂👍🏻

[@andrewdoeshair]

Thank you!!!

[@cormacmaher2]

You're really down to earth and humble, I like that.

[@ANDRESSANCHEZHAIR]

This video is great Andrew! Keep being you and doing what you do! You are amazing!!

[@scumg0d]

You're so cool. This only the second video I've watched of yours, so like you said I'm limited on my perspective on what could look good on you but I think this is the best cut for you. Very handsome sir.

[@Harpsea]

Great inspirational speech brother. The message went far beyond hair and it touched the soul tremendously.

[@peterburton8991]

I enjoy the videos even when they don’t necessarily apply to me. Love to learn. Keep it up! I’m on the growing out my hair path right now so any videos on that would be brilliant.

[@soniajoy8134]

Thanks, good advice, I have just started barber training, and you are really great to listen to, thanks for sharing your knowledge and mistakes, etc. :)

[@FritzVonR]

Almost everytime I went to a hair stylist I hated how neat and freshly cut my hair looked. It always takes weeks to months for me to appreciate my hair again if they've done it right.

[@ImHelpingMen]

My reasons: - double crown very close to each other + straight hair so it sticks up a lot around the back if i don't do anything with it - i have a middle parting + a full head-length core flick (cowlick) which also creates another parting - kinda of another reason, i have straight hair. So it stands up when it is short instead of laying flat which i'm not a big fan of.

[@varun9338]

today i found one hell of a content creator today man. this was a great video dude.❤️❤️

[@wingwmn217]

man, your hair doesn't suck. it's actually pretty cool imo :) just be yourself and be confident

[@shefhenko]

Dude, your vids are awesome, your hair is awesome, your thoughts are awesome, heck YOU are just fuckin awesome 😂

[@luizakulchetscki2970]

Your hair looks good, man.

[@sleepbelts]

Thank you for this, Andrew! Your videos are always very insightful and interesting.

[@yggdrasillaffirmations]

Great Video. Style is eternal, fasion is transient. love the British references.

[@jonidionisio]

Im a fan of honesty thats why i just subscribed.

[@chrisgoat3794]

You do have an odd shaped head, but your head look great. I like slightly messy: it's cool!

[@sack_bullet4905]

Your hair looks cool It's messy and short I like your way of thinking

[@zealiyzeal3914]

All around nice relaxing video.

[@lydiab6063]

I think you have great hair!

[@larperez9230]

I personally always wanted hair style but I've I've always go with the fashion trend

[@domenicopolo]

Smart dude!! If you are around in Chicago someday please let me know my hair sucks rn lol

[@Zvhviry]

My hair sucks as well. I dont really have my personal hairdresser or barber to take care of my hair. We’re on the same boat 😁

[@PoloBlendz]

Great video man! Agree with what you said!

[@thiagosoaresdesousa3333]

If you'd read my opinion, you hair actually looks perfect on you, sir.

[@tomle9466]

Love it man ! Yes I love what you just saying !

[@ssuiter2]

I think your scruffy hair is cute

[@sockinXtz]

i think a good choice for you should be a crop with some length at the front and mid zero fade ,if you haven't tried that already

[@andrewdoeshair]

I haven’t tried it! Wanna do it for me? 😬

[@sockinXtz]

@@andrewdoeshair i would love to but i live in Greece 😅

[@Yang-ob4lk]

A barber once asked me "when was your last haircut?" and I answered "I don't know, maybe half a year ago. i don't go to the barber that often." and she asked "why?" and I said "it just isn't important to me" she looked... shocked

[@bemotsopoe5507]

Sir please do more haircut tutorial

[@averagekannadiga9737]

Great video bro🔥🔥🔥

[@VerzideGF]

Love your videos thank you

[@xkodybarberx]

It’s ironic how many great barbers have bad hair or are balding. Look at Rob/bertus from schorem

[@shedontanks]

I wish I'd realised this a lot sooner. Just accept the hair and physical features that nature has given me and work with it rather than constantly trying to battle it.

[@HateH444]

Little timestamps 😉 1.Genetics 0:09 2.Yours taste ain't equal with "last year's trends." 1:53 3.Good hair cut have some benefits but at the end of the day, yours personality and character is much more important. 4:38 4.The business of doing good hair is different from the business of having good hair. 7:48 5. Andrew don't have a hair dresser 😂😂. 9:58

[@kimoda9451]

i, for one, like your hair!! more so, really like you...your 'style!!' so, did you find a stylist all these years later?

[@andrewdoeshair]

Thank you! I recently started cutting it myself and now it actually gets compliments- I’ve never gotten compliments on my hair until recently 🥹

[@thatoneaudience9122]

I have been living my fighting my bad genetic, and I feel like hair loss is the final boss that I can’t defeat….😢😭

[@darkphotographer]

[@thchannel4943]

My hair looks like hay and it is kind of curly. I dont know what to do and I cant style it. Any suggestions?

[@AjayKumar-jl3fk]

When you said instantly thumb down the video, i instantly liked it .....😅 bcoz i forgot to like it.

[@jaimand4753]

Been barbering for a couple years now. 7 months ago i finally found I don't need a trendy fade every 10 days with long hair on top that I spent styling daily in a pompadour Also I finally realized why I don't like my hair till a week after the haircut. I have big ears. So a fade makes them look huge Now I get 1.5 on the sides, and simple Ceasar up top once a month. 10 Minute haircut. As the top only gets cut every 2 months, one inch off. I spend about 10 seconds on my hair and I never think about it the rest of the day. My long time Clients ask why I don't do have a fade any more. I just say, I think I like it simple even more.

[@iworry-cz5155]

As you claim to know hair in general, do men need to shampoo hair ever?

[@andrewdoeshair]

I don’t have any strong opinions on shampoo- I’ve seen some clients hair and/or scalp improve by shampooing more, and I’ve seen some improve by shampooing less. I’ve seen some improve by getting higher end shampoo and I’ve seen some notice no difference with higher end shampoos. My advice to clients is to tweak the routine and see if it tweaks the results. I’ve even known people who’s hair required less frequent shampooing after moving to a different climate. Like so much of hair, there are so many factors that exceptions to the rule almost seem as common as the rule.

[@iworry-cz5155]

@@andrewdoeshair well i have stopped using shampoo half a year ago at all and my hair seem stronger, healthy and better looking overall so my question was more like a could it cause hairloss in the future?

[@andrewdoeshair]

@@iworry-cz5155 hair loss comes from within, unless you’re doing something so gnarly and harmful externally that it could permanently damage your scalp (think third degree burns). I think most experts say it’s a hormonal change that causes hair loss, but there’s an interesting video on KZbin by the channel What I’ve Learned that makes a strong case for tightening scalp muscles causing the sort of chemical imbalance in the scalp.

[@juanon8696]

I don’t get it.🤷🏽‍♂️ Your Hair does not suck & suits U Beautifully. 💪🏽🔥💈

[@andrewdoeshair]

I appreciate the kind words! I went with “sucks” just because those sorts of extreme words in the title tend to grab more views (I’ve heard) but more realistically what I meant is “here’s why I don’t have a channel all about my own hair” or “here’s why I don’t constantly have the latest trendy hairstyle myself.”

[@lewicfonkey4633]

I like your hair. Not sure if you like this but you look like a hairdresser!

[@hilossrt4]

The mechanics car runs like crap, the plumbers sink drips, the carpenters roof leaks, and hairdressers sometimes have bad hair.
