My Hairstyle History | Best and Worst Haircuts!

[@ManForHimself]

Feels a bit scary sharing all of these pictures. It’s only from my experience, experimenting and making these hairstyle mistakes that I now really know what works!

[@BenArthur]

This is such an interesting and crazy video Robin hahaha

[@rishikeshdubey4399]

Yeah, Man..!! After so much hairstyling mistakes..!! You should get an doctorate degree in hairstyle mistakes:-p :-p. Just kidding don't take it in a negative way..

[@ManForHimself]

Not at all! Know exactly what you mean.

[@ManForHimself]

Ah, thank you!

[@Ebombda12543]

Last year I accidentally shaved my head. I thought it sucked at first but I got a new hairstyle. I think all those things kinda do happen for a reason

[@LucaSantangeloUK]

2012 style looks so good!!! Nice video robin!

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Luca. I really should have tagged you and I'm kicking myself that I didn't. I contacted the guys beforehand to check it was okay on Twitter, but I couldn't find you. Sorry.

[@LucaSantangeloUK]

No worries, Robin! I find the thought alone very flattering :). I literally only just started a new twitter exclusively for KZbin and it has about 10 followers atm so that might be why you couldn't find it. Nevertheless, appreciate your consideration!

[@laniersmith1798]

You should see my hair history...that goes back to the 1950's!! I've worn it all! LOL. Love this Robin, simply super wonderful. Bravo.

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you Lanvier. I'd love to see yours!

[@camcretney]

Hahaha! That was great! I am for sure going to get on this! Thanks for the tag Robin. Out off all the pictures though, I believe your most recent cut suits you the best! Looking fresh man!

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Cam! I'm so looking forward to seeing you guys give it a go. It'll be 👌🏼

[@davidmcnicol5322]

Moustache or no moustache, you are still that wonderful, amazing, caring passionate person. That’s why I subscribe!

[@MainDeJustice]

A very entertaining video! Everyone who styles their hair has been into their own learning phases of hairstyling. I can recall hairspraying my hair every hour when being out of my home as I was thinking that this makes my hair extremely voluminous and brings a perfect shape whilst actually my hair was a dry mess. There's also been a phase where I'd use a lot of conditioner when washing my hair as I was enjoying the easily created wavy hair but although shiny and all greasy looking hair effect. Of course this is far from the end of the list but overall looking back at this now brings a smile to my face as I can see how much I progressed and where I can still improve.

[@xHibachi24x]

Happy belated birthday Robin! Time flies so fast. I remember when ya had your quiff. I noticed that your pictures weren't just of your hair growth, but your emotional growth. The really young pictures feature an unsure Robin, but by the end I got the vibe of someone who's comfortable in their own skin and is full of life and confidence! I really look up to ya, and was wondering any books, movies, quotes, specific moments, or role models that played a significant role in shaping who you are today.

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you so much. You have really understood exactly how I felt. It's been a journey and hopefully loads more to come. My friends are so important to me. They have really helped carve out who I am and how I see myself. Also, my family have always been so solid and grounding. It's so important. I try and look past the bad times and project myself into the future. I think you can see it in the pictures. It's all about understanding who you are.

[@xHibachi24x]

Who knows, maybe ya can do a draw my life in the future!

[@ManForHimself]

Maybe... just maybe!

[@ryanbales3032]

This was awesome. I got a huge kick out of your v-neck shirt story. How did we ever think that we looked good in those days? Let's see.... I've had mostly short hair for most of my life. I was in the military for 7 years, so I was pretty limited as to what I could do and still be in regs. Before I joined, I had long, wavy hair that made me look I stepped out of the 70's. Now I alternate between a pomp, slick back, and sometimes a quiff. Usually the messy variations of these styles.

[@JegErHolyNoah]

Just wanted to tell you that i really dig the visual style of your videos! Really well edited, and some cool animations. But the best part is the colors of the background, and the overall lightness of it. Love your videos Robin!

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you very much.

[@lukmanalghdamsi3189]

the fact he showed his past with confidence and point out his mistakes says allot about him! this is rear in this age especially when you work in this profession, you truly are different from the others youtubers, in a better way

[@parvez7572]

How does someone who studied politics and history at uni, end up at fashion? Haha amazing

[@ManForHimself]

Ha ha... I have a pretty extensive CV! www.manforhimself.com/about/

[@nocturnalimpaler4624]

You've studied history and politics? Wow. Truly amazing. And what history figures you respect, may i ask? (But you've made a right choice, if you ask me. Thanks for all your useful tips).

[@MrSarov]

That hair in the 6th of April 2015 was epic!

[@ManForHimself]

It was a goodie!

[@diegomanjarrez5338]

you've got so far Robin i remember watch youre how to videos when you filmed from your apartment. Ive looked up to you since then and grew a interest in hair and grooming. Thanks Robin!

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you Diego. And thanks for sticking with me.

[@tichermark]

I loooved this video Robin! Looking at all those pictures is both inspiring and encouraging. I guess we just have to try many different styles to find the one that suits us best and makes us feel confortable. And yeees, that messy slicked back hairstyle! It is definitely the best so far; you look just AWESOME!

[@nikbinaz]

Huge fan from Afghanistan. Keep it up Robin! You've been pumping out some quality content lately. :)

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you! And a big hello to Afghanistan too.

[@MarauderShields]

Hey Robin, you're my favorite men's style KZbin personality and you're my hair inspiration! I'm battling with my hair and what I want to do with it, because a lot of what I try just doesn't seem to suit me, no matter which way I part it or try to style it. I hope to soon find my ideal style that I feel comfortable in like it seems that you have!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey Ozyman. Thank you. That's a massive compliment. Keep experimenting and you'll get there, I promise.

[@vsuavest5902]

I liked the one with the choppy old straight fringe. I want something like this with it short on the side and back.

[@ManForHimself]

Totally agree. I want to have this cut on my channel. Want to see it?

[@vsuavest5902]

Yes please! I'll then know what to ask my hairdresser haha:)

[@DARKMAGIC3016]

You really glow'd up over the years! Good for you! Love the channel!

[@michaelharperamericannight2891]

Hi Robin I have a situation where everytime I go to bed at night my hair gets so messed up that by the time morning comes if I had done anything to my hair the previous day like put hair gel in it I feel like I have to do it all over again. Love your videos by the way, this one made me both think and laugh at the same time and I don't know why, LOVE. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pedromendez434]

I really enjoy to watch your videos, you are so honest and glamorous.

[@ManForHimself]

Aw, thanks very much!

[@thepompingreaser4834]

Great video robin. I haven't changed my hairstyle in a year. I think I'll have to look into more of them.

[@thepompingreaser4834]

Oh and how do I message you?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! You can do it on here or tweet me: @ManForHimself.

[@thepompingreaser4834]

+Robin James thanks

[@TheBeach-j8h]

I must say that 2011 quiff is pretty Bloody awesome, I'm getting a Morrissey in the 80s vibe from it, gorgeous ☺

[@JJ12481]

I wasn't expecting this sort of a video Robin....But hats off for bringing a different video and it shows the transformation...Keep up the good work..Cheers😉👌🏼

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you Jeslin.

[@JJ12481]

+Robin James You are always welcome Robin👍🏼

[@rachelhayes1022]

Very interesting. Loving your channel lately. Great quality vids.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Ashton!

[@aesirif2148]

what a transformation! your current hair style suits you best so far.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Tony. It has been a total transformation.

[@lifewithrick1370]

Great video Robin!!! Loved it!! Would you consider doing a style (clothing) evolution video? Kind of like this one, but about the changes in your style: when you got into fashion and things like that.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks very much. I would love to do one!

[@alexaphale7210]

Hi great video, 2012 pic was the best. I was watching your side pomp video from 2015 and saw your huge selection of products. Could you do a video explaing what they are and how you use them?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! Thank you. I have done one on product, but I could do an updated on, if you like?

[@alexaphale7210]

Yeah that would be a good idea!

[@Vppp]

"cartoon territory"😂 I never thought you had this big transformation. respect! you're really brave to show these! thank-you😊

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you, Viraj.

[@DiamondBackProject]

10.50 - Love that haircut and stubble combo, goin for it myself

[@TheTurtledovMovies]

What's that jacket at 10:07 ? Is it a Harrington jacket? Looks realy nice.

[@HunterXenios]

Your big volume hair on 04-2015 was dope! But I agree would suit younger people more I think

[@ManForHimself]

Or just not me now. Ha ha.

[@toybulliesofficialalonsosa4370]

Rob I love your stuff I seriously every night watch your videos and enjoy your stuff thanks a lot for all the help

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Alonso. Appreciate the support from you.

[@ralphyjay4233]

Robin, what are the measurements on the cut you have now? Also could you do a tutorial on how to style it? Love your vids!

[@eloylie]

Beautiful. Would love to see you rock a James Dean styled hairstyle or a better fade with bleached ends, like, a redo from your past :)

[@tinabattrick3236]

I think all the pictures that you show of yourself I think they're look terrific

[@SWildMF]

Robin your hair is 🔥in this video. Making me want some more length on the top again

[@theboyzgame777]

similar phases, you are not alone. It just shows how creative and open one is too new opportunities:D

[@joshuamurrietta9539]

great flashback to your past looks! you've never stopped improving:) can't wait for the next flashback 10 yrs from now;)

[@ManForHimself]

Ah, Joshua! Thank you.

[@thisisnotmyfinalform7856]

The 2011 one is SEXY as fuck i mean the quiff was on point. It had so much volume and texture and the facial expression made you look so amazing.

[@iDarren12]

I like what you had in 2012.. how would someone go about doing that? I have no idea what to do with my hair and I actually like that style a lot.

[@robertoguerrero923]

2012 was my favorite pic bc it looks so clean and nice

[@ManForHimself]

I love it too! Really neat!

[@kierontay3214]

well deserved 75k subscribers i feel you deserve more however i am really happy and i still rmbr when u taught me how to make my first quiff thank you and congratulations robin

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you! And noticed you're a new sunscriber - well, 3 weeks ago. Thanks for joining!

[@AdvancedTurn]

can you please make a video about knowing if you hairline is receding, because I dont know if my hairline is receding or if I am getting my "mature" hairline. I am a big fan and I love your videos!! keep up the good work. love 💕

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! If you've noticed your hair line moving further up (/back) your forehead, it's receding. Is it?

[@AdvancedTurn]

+Robin James no it isn't but you see people with like really straight hairlines, but mine is curved and when I have like a comb-over (which you absolutely rock) you can see like some sort of "cave" (that's how I like to call it) sorry for my bad english by the way I am from the netherlands, and I when is saw that you reacted to my comment I almost got an hair attack because you are basically my favorite youtuber.

[@AdvancedTurn]

I mean hart attack

[@furygaming6589]

Your hair made alot of changes throughout the years! Great video, and happy late birthday!!

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you!

[@haziqhsk]

I love your eyes! so natural.

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you! And hello to you and your first comment. :D

[@MisterPrince01]

The 2013 one is pretty good. I wish I could do that but my hair is really thick and also curly.

[@utkarshsingh9958]

Dear Robin, Really like your videos. Although there are many channels out there on youtube regarding hair styling and products yet not a single channel (among the popular ones) never show hair style for guys that have a V shape hair line (widows peak as some call it). It's a humble request to show some hair styles (and how to style it) for guys having a such hair lines cause there are many out there ;) . Thanks! PS : Chris Hemsworth I guess has a widows peak/V sahpe hair line.

[@jordandowler2344]

what's with the patch of no hair on the beard?

[@chrisgarces3002]

Ugh if I were to look back on my photos.... dear lord I would just think to myself "what WERE YOU THNKIINNNGGGGGG?!?" Haha I loved the video though and your quality, impeccable as always boo!

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Chris. It's always fun to look back at old pictures.

[@samcrowder9675]

Could you do a video on your favorite fragrances? and or fragrance tips?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey Sam, I did one on summer fragrance. Did you see it?

[@ManForHimself]

Give it a watch. And you're very welcome. Thank you for supporting me and the channel.

[@samcrowder9675]

Robin James Thanks for replying to me again :) makes me feel special lol. No I don't think I've seen it but I'll take a look!

[@MRTHISNAMEFAILS]

How do you get your hair to stick up in those ridiculous quiff pictures? Not that much of course, but sticking up is very hard for my hair. Also, how'd you get your hair to look like it does in the last picture?

[@ManForHimself]

Volume with mousse. And final one was some grooming cream and a clay.

[@MRTHISNAMEFAILS]

Robin James Thank you.

[@davidharkess4273]

Thanx for this vid Robin ... I wouldn't dare show you my hair coz I am growing it out at the mo.Great vid as always M8 keep up the good work.

[@ManForHimself]

Ha ha! Ah, we all change.

[@LifeWithBrandon]

Although this video was almost 13 minutes, I was able to watch the entire thing because the idea was so interesting and you were so entertaining Robin ! Great Vid !

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Brandon. Good to have you on board. Always a solid comment from you.

[@davismycroft7627]

Ohmygod robin i just loved your channel so much.Btw, you are my hair inspiration tho

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks David. And love that i'm your hair inspiration.

[@ulisesgarcia2705]

I feel like short medium length is your best suit. It makes you look younger and brings out your bone structure.

[@ManForHimself]

I do too! And thank you for your first comment on my channel.

[@Conner431x]

Why didn't you ask Blumaan to do it oh wait he's got the same hairstyle every video

[@clementchiu6620]

the truest thing ever said on the internet

[@dohertyak4739]

so true

[@tylertembrina2701]

That's like saying Robin has the same hairstyle every video

[@33MillParkour]

not true. he's had many different variations in length. he styles it very similarly because he knows what works for his face but even know he styles it like a swoop at the front and has done many styles in the past lol

[@thedavidji]

Not true at all...

[@alkimsza3481]

same here I used way too much gel and from videos I learned about the magic of wax and blodring

[@ManForHimself]

We all find our way... in the end. Ha!

[@hannsandres]

great video! hahaha. i remember my different hair phases: long afro hair, then buzzcut (myself), then i tried to do an undercut (by myself), then i got a proper hair cut in a barber shop and use pomade to style it. now its a bit long again haha.

[@ManForHimself]

We've all been there. It's so funny to look back.

[@KingSlimeProductions]

When I was like, 10 I used WAYYYY too much gel in my hair. Like, to the point where it would hurt when people would barely try to move it around. I remember coating like, half of my hand in gel and just slathering it in my hair. Oh my god I wish I could go back in time and slap myself.

[@ManForHimself]

Ha ha... it's all a learning curve!

[@Faizan_fm]

And I thought a finger full amount was too much

[@KingSlimeProductions]

I also remember how I used to shampoo like, literally every day. Biggest mistake of my life lol.

[@marshallbosman]

Could you do a 'best supermarket pre-styler' video cos I use hair clay and hairspray and it just always goes down by the end of a school day

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! I can take a look!

[@CatchaDouble]

do you think a faux hawk is good?

[@BlueIceAce2015]

Your 2012 look is super star like! Best one IMO.

[@ManForHimself]

It is pretty good!

[@binny5885]

Skin fade with the side pomp was the best i guess✌😃

[@ManForHimself]

Your favourite? I love it too.

[@markolapi201]

Can you make a video how to make this hairstyle you have in this video?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey - I certainly can do. A few of you seem to like it.

[@markolapi201]

Yes please. It's very easy - good looking :) please do :)

[@schwarzblatt]

All of these pics show an open interest in experimentation, and with that sometimes comes very questionable decisions. :P And how cool that your 2016 pic is peak sexiness! Thanks for sharing!

[@ManForHimself]

Peak sexiness! I love that. There's been ALOT of hair experimentation!

[@santos_united9589]

I use to have a bad Mohawk and now I have a classic slick back hair and less cubby

[@ManForHimself]

We've all changed!

[@santos_united9589]

[@cedenoanthony45]

Robin !!! Do Shear Revival Crystal Lake for your Overhyped Series!!!

Love the messy style in that last picture!

[@ManForHimself]

I do too. One of my favourites.

[@presleyluis4666]

where did you get that sheer blue shirt in the background?

[@ManForHimself]

I've linked it in description. Hope that helps.

[@nicholasmckee4128]

Hey, Robin. Congrats on 75k subs. I have a request; could you do a Leonardo DiCaprio hairstyle how-to from The Wolf of Wall Street?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey Nicholas! Thank you. I could certainly take a look at it.

[@NoNotVahzy]

Why do you pop your collar up? Is it a fashion statement?

[@htsoon3912]

August 2015 looking like a straight slayer, what product did you use? I want that style.

[@tomphillips5513]

Love your videos, man! You're such a down to earth and funny guy 😄

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks man

[@geoffwildones]

Hair at 0:40 is Nice , should go back to that hairstyle man!!

[@ManForHimself]

I do like it, but it's so short. Not much/nothing I could do with it!

[@geoffwildones]

+Robin James i mean 0:41 , the quiffed hair if im not wrong

[@33MillParkour]

why do you pop your collar? i really wanna know cuz last person that explained why they do it they had a cool reason so i wanna know yours

[@ManForHimself]

What was their reason!? I've done it since I was about 16 - a longt time. I like how it frames my face. :D

[@33MillParkour]

+Robin James the coolest reason I've heard is that their role model (i forgot his name) did it in a lot of his videos and they considered him a gentleman of gentlemen and so they did it to kinda carry on their legacy because the guy never had any kids

[@Time4Technology]

Awesome video robin, you are inspiring! You're looking great :)

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks so much, Georg.

[@ayanavamallick654]

seeing ur video givs me hope that sumday i will style my hair like u

[@ManForHimself]

Of course! It's about finding what works for you!

[@arceus54321]

robin, what product do you currently use to sweep your hair back like in this vid?

[@ManForHimself]

This is Label M Thickening Tonic and Fudge Elevate Styling Powder. Fixed with Hairspray.

Why did u not tag blumaan

[@babakkazemi8139]

Hi Robin! Love your 2016 look :) can you make video about [Losing Hair] and give us some tips ? Which players do you support Christiano Ronaldo or Messi ?

[@ManForHimself]

Oh Ronaldo all the way. Obviously. I can take a look at those video ideas, for sure.

[@uzairabdullah1442]

can you help me with my hair they are always curled.

[@invalidnimroz2176]

That quiff 2011 omg... EPIC...

[@registrado54]

I think it happens to everyone the "I look so good with this haircut" phase and then you look back on how wrong you were

[@ManForHimself]

Ha ha... absolute classic!

[@TheKnight123-s7o]

i though I was the only one who had an embarrassing hairstyle history I even deleted and burned all my old pictures . you're a brave man james

[@ManForHimself]

Ah, it's good to look back at old pictures. Reminds you of where you've been in life.

[@smackalicious1216]

Great video Robin! I always enjoy watching your videos! I'm getting a haircut soon, and I plan on cutting some of it off. I usually go for a quiff type of hairstyle but it's to the point where it is so long I can not style as it just falls down even after I used Claymation and hairspray. I wanna keep my quiff and keep a decent amount of volume to it... My hair comes down to about the bottom of my lip. Any ideas on how short I should cut it? Thanks!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey Gabe, I'd cut it to about the tip of your nose. Although... depends on the length of your face. Take a bit off and then style it. If you need more off, go back and get more off.

[@smackalicious1216]

+Robin James Gotcha... Thanks again Robin!

[@thomasp8904]

What product do you use for exfoliation? I am just getting into higher skin care... stuff i guess, and I don't know what to use and when or how often.

[@ManForHimself]

Hey Thomas - I have a few different products for it. Should I create a video?

[@thomasp8904]

Robin James You can't go wrong. I know I am not the only one with these questions. But in the meantime what product do you use to exfoliate? I leave for boot camp in 9 days and won't see the video in time.

[@princelaazestaikon9219]

hey bro ! M from India . can I plzzz know how much month I would take to grow hairs till my chin should I use shampoo once in a week ? and plzz guide me when should I wash my hairs in order to grow longer ?m now a school boy in 10 grade .so plzzz guide me..

[@zach2538]

What hairstyle do you have right now

[@TheZane03]

Hey robin, your skin looks excellent what products do you use? I'm 19 and recently have gotten a little acne on my forehead and I hate what products would you recommend for my acne and to make it more smoother and natural

[@lexoscillation6672]

I know this is late but I would say wash your sheets and pillows first, don't use oily shampoo and conditioner, and cover your forehead while using any kind of spray. make sure not to get product on the forehead and wash it out before sleep

[@TheZane03]

+Adam Hume thanks but I've been using lemon juice and its wonders and have used my cleaners to clean up my face and did a facial

[@mr.69yomoma31]

TheZane03 drink water like alottttt and cut down on the junk food trusstt me I'm 16 and last year I had a good amount of pimples and not to be braggy but my skin rn is amazing I have no pimples and I also started to use moisturizer and started to exfoliate once a week

[@mr.69yomoma31]

TheZane03 I use loreal go 360 scrub its like this orange bottle

[@mr.69yomoma31]

TheZane03 BTW when you first start exfoliating you'll break out for a little bit and they'll go away when u constantly start exfoliating weekly or twice a week

[@DARKMAGIC3016]

Please reply! I just want your opinion on pomades vs matte finish products? As well as right now i'm rocking a disconnected undercut and have been wearing the man bun for most of the summer. Just if you can give any hair style tips or ideas as I don't want to chop the bun but i do want to switch up the hair styles every now and then and style it down some how! Thanks!

[@DARKMAGIC3016]

Yes I am ware. I do watch the Pomp. I'm just using it in general terms. pomades are more for slick backs and stuff while lets say a paste or a clay could be used for more a voluminous quiff.

[@RMatt2016]

That shirt in the back... did u make it?

[@ManForHimself]

Ha ha.... no, this was bought!

[@RMatt2016]

Robin James where?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey - it's all in the description. Hope that helps?

[@mrutube8189]

I like your hair from 2012 very clean cut and smart

[@ManForHimself]

Me too! Loads of others are saying that same.

[@julianperez9427]

What are the lengths of you're hair on the sides?

[@legendcoleman6024]

Insanee 007 i think that is a 1 faded, I might be wrong

[@VichyAlways]

It's crazy how much younger you look compared to pictures 10 years ago!

[@gjorgjidimeski7096]

I like the video, it kind of boosted my confidence a little.. hehe

[@ManForHimself]

Gorgi - you have nailed it on the head. I really wanted to show you guys this and hoped it would resonate with you.
