"It's Very SIDESHOW BOB" A Haircut to Grow Out CURLY HAIR After DIY Haircut

[@RegalGentleman]

Happy new year everyone! New videos being filmed very soon so you’ll get to see Dan’s new hair finally after our dramatic reveal 😅

[@willbe939]

Didn’t we see a video already of Dan getting his ha buzzed! I’m surprised we are still seeing him with long hair! Have to admit that video was a shock! It will take a bit time for us to get used to the new Dan but it gave us courage to just go for it! Some of us are stuck in our old way and need a push into a new look! Still such a fan here!

[@janicelaurin7263]

Yeah, this was filmed before his haircut. I loved Dan's long hair, but I understand his reasons for wanting to cut it. With his hair being so incredibly short now, he can grow it back into the shape and length he wants. Personally, I like his hair a little longer.

[@benhall3888]

Anyone in the comments making fun of him are the kind of people everyone should avoid. Calling someone a dork, for hair they were born with, is as low as making fun of someone for being short. Be kind and encouraging. Not everyone can have straight hair, just like not everyone can be tall.

[@matts.3514]

The consultations beforehand are so valuable. Love how Dan sets a realistic expectation for the client.

[@mojomethys]

Dan loves hair and cutting/styling it. That passion is so visible in these videos. Great job, man!

[@MrJlepley]

Back when I had hair it was curly like that. I used to pat it dry with a towel, then shake my head over the shower or tub, that's it. It dried shiny and beautiful. Only combed my hair in the shower when I combed in the conditioner (wide toothed comb - and I was a morning shower person). Worked really well.

[@moriganna67ify]

Dan and crew. I want to take this moment to say how much I appreciate all the hard work you do. Thank you!

[@jerseygirlcards]

I love when he said after looking at the first pic...your hair isn't going to do that or your not going to get that...wish women's stylists would be so frank.

[@Mominator]

I've had a couple of stylists who were that frank. They're not easy to find.

[@ossier2796]

I’m Lucky that my hair stylist tells me what my hair can and cannot do. She always ask what my hair goals are.

[@darlenefragale6550]

Can’t find any that will offer up beautiful alternatives…heck, can’t even, find one to give a razor cut!

[@amjtexas]

I've been blessed to have a few female stylists who were honest with me when I showed them a pic of a style they knew would never work on me. It was hard for me to hear, but I later appreciated it. One time, I wanted a Halle Berry cut a la the '90s. My stylist tactfully let me know the cut would not flatter my neck rolls 😅, not to mention that the style was high maintenance. 😂 I settled for a trim. ✂️ I'm in awe of Dan's surgical cuts as he massages yet boosts his clients' egos. Master class! 🙌🏾💫

[@Msskyperez]

I have curly hair with a similar curl to his. It's a soft curl and it's very pretty but it has to be cut properly. I am lucky that I have a good hairdresser who works with me and is frank about what my hair will and will not do.

[@TheToddtw]

I have been doing hair for 42 years. I specialize in curly hair. I disagree about conditioners. Shampoo (and water alone) is alkaline which leaves the cuticle open especially on curly hair which in turn leaves the hair dry and dehydrated. Conditioners are acid which are designed to close the cuticle leaving curly hair smoother and more hydrated.

[@Angie-fe8yd]

I have had curly hair all my life 62 years and at the moment it's the longest I've ever had it...half way down my back couldn't agree with you more.My hair would look terrible without conditioner.I always condition, never use products or any shampoo or conditioner full of chemicals.I water down a little conditioner to keep frizz under control. People everywhere I go tell me how beautiful my hair is 🙂

[@josephsalden]

9:46 Dan said I would only condition your hair, every time you shampoo your hair. Emphasising the natural oils to come through rather than depleting with condition when not necessarily shampooing the hair. Timestamp of what he actually said provided. Have a listen :)

[@Lock484]

Joseph is right 👆, I'd just add that he even says at 7:35 that he shampooed and conditioned his hair 😌. His only point was to use those two products together, and then maybe try a leave in after care conditioner on days when you don't shampoo your hair 😉

[@cynthiamcwhorter6721]

I am so envious of this guys gorgeous curls. I really enjoy watching your videos and how you talk to your clients plus how you cut hair.

[@harryioder101]

This barber is an artist! He knows hair! He is very gifted and any one is fortunate to meet him..fascinating. His skill! Rare talent! Very gifted. Congratulations¡!😊

[@laurapeltier1913]

I can't believe the difference. The sideburns look so nice. You wouldn't think changing the length would have made such a difference , but it did!

[@iamrichlol]

As a Brit living in Australia, it's funny to see an Aussie back in the homeland

[@giannishen]

I am very happy to see the process of the big bird's nest turning into a small bird's nest! Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍🥰👏

[@karengray662]

So nice to see a cut on curly hair! Being plagued with it myself I’ve lost count of the number of hairdressers who have no idea what to do, or say, “well if I cut the top you’ll have no perm left”. It is hard to take care of curls & to find someone who knows how to cut them. Thankfully, now I’m older, I have the whole lot cut off, back of head shaved, pixie cut, I love it 😊

[@sharonbliss7339]

I was watching one of your videos from 2 years ago. Boy, have you changed! It appears you lost a lot of weight, longer hair and have beautiful gray hair.

[@davidhollick5152]

Curly haircut made easy, the advice for maintenance was so crucial in this video. Brilliant advice given. Thankyou for the video.

[@amandahales3331]

I'm so fussy bout my hair but id happily sit in yr chair, Why? Bcoz U listen, u explain, u offer yr professional advice, u don't dictate. Thanks 4 all yr videos I found yr channel just b4 Christmas, yr voice is so calmin n relaxin I wud b slippin off the seat xx

[@marlushousthecatechumen6533]

I wasn’t aware there could be accents in a text, but I’m sorry I wasn’t more educated 😂

[@frizzyred1292]

Yea....I know the feeling. Even though he has loads of hair, the individual strands are fine. Product weighs it down which is why Dan said cut down on the conditioner. His hair would do well without anything on it.

[@kathleenkillen7820]

You do such good work! I'm a 70 year old woman and am losing my hair. I just got it cut short and I would love for you to fix the mess my hairdresser made of it. Alas, I live in Texas. If wishes were fishes...

[@debbiejohnson7199]

I lost my hair last year after I had Covid. I use a shampoo and rinse called Nutri-ox. It has helped my hair. And being a 72 yr old, I want to keep my hair. PS I live in New Mexico.

[@BitOHoney276]

I have curly hair and do not own a brush, only a wide tooth comb to use while hair is wet. Fixing my hair means spritzing with water or using a little product. Once it's dry there is no combing or brushing.

[@jordanpound3402]

I think the cut would have looked a lot better with a longer fringe. Would have been nice with a more tidy sides and leaving length in the front. Just my opinion and what I personally like. Dan is a master and the client didn’t give him much direction other than keep length which doesn’t really work in this situation

[@DanTowey]

Agree... WAY shorter sides. He has strong bone structure to pull it off.... & a slightly shorter curly top

[@TheAmazingHuman]

I think he wanted to preserve the length on the sides based on the picture the client showed him. What the client really needs is a chemical treatment to relax his hair just enough like he suggested, "opposite of a perm". Justin Timberlake has a relaxer and it looks good. Btw... the guys hair is gorgeous. Love it! ❤

[@davidw3479]

He has lots of length in fringe it’s only because the way Dan scrunched it, it bounced half way up his forehead!

[@Krise343]

Totally agree. It was too short. My hair is exactly like this guy’s. He can form some curls with his fingers and pull them down.

[@mortuaryartist]

Agreed. Made him look older and showed forehead wrinkles and a receding hairline

[@davidbaric688]

I can always feel more confident when I am cutting the similar haircut after this fabulous teaching how to cut it and tell client something about it. Another extraordinary video! Cheered my Sunday night! Thanks! :)

[@sherrinaransom1643]

I So LOVE this "regal GENTLEMAN!!! so informative, so skilled & such a explain before cutting kinda person!!!

[@coachab100]

When you were giving him advice on how often he needs to shampoo, that hit home for me! I am about to turn 73. When I was growing up, the shampoo directions on the bottle all said “wash, rinse, repeat” daily. I only did it once! I washed my hair every day because I was an athlete and then went to gym Then in last 10 years, I didn’t wash my hair on Sundays! Now I am still washing too much. I will try 1 or 2x per week because it is super dried out! Crazy how the info has changed over the years.

[@matthewlacey4198]

It'll probably take a few months for your hair to adapt to less frequent shampooing, thats something I've learnt from having long hair for three years :) Glad you've learnt something, it's never too late to do something differently :)

[@apollozero]

Older hair gets very wiry and hard to wash everyday, it doesn’t need it, makes it worse dries it out.

[@joridgway5074]

I think this cut will grow out with a much more proportional shape. I will like a little longer back neckline and bangs in front. Just now needs to grow into it. Great job dan.

[@Krise343]

I think being able to learn, practice, to cut your own hair is liberating, empowering and fun.

[@angyveysey2678]

He looks very handsome with that cut! Still has the curls but more refined👍🏻

[@victoriamacpriest7130]

Looks SO healthy. Awesome job!

[@sandramelia3765]

Love it. Controlled curls but llooksfree style and more flattering to your face.

[@matthewlowry3726]

Great cut…and it looks great with amazing features….what a lucky guy…great jaw…great cheekbones….great curls. Have him back in 6 months so we can see where he’s at in his growth. Dan, looking good!!!!

[@JayJimmy22]

Yes, cut dry!!!! He f###ed up this man... he looks so disappointed, the moment he f###ed up was when he wet the hair 💀

[@mamadude505]

​I always start screaming when the stylist wets down curly hair!

[@Hairwithemz]

Amazing shape. Love your style of education. It's so easy to understand what your doing as a barber.

[@drinkzcoffee5183]

A tip to the barber- please don't scrunch or pinch curls. You're only creating frizz. When applying product it's best to apply to wet or slightly towel dried hair, then kind of stroke the hair (top down motion, like youre petting the hair or sliding it between praying hands). This allows product to coat strands without creating frizz. Oh, and you probably need more product than you realize if you use the proper product (usually leave in conditioner). Applying products this way will allow you to see the curl pattern come to life rather than you attempting to create your own curl pattern by scrunching. Hope this helps you in the future. xx

[@jilld6240]

Very handsome young man with gorgeous curls!

[@janetseager4069]

The kind of hair little old ladies think is gorgeous. They probably tell you how lucky you are. As a (now) little old lady who had completely unmanageable, fine curly hair, I feel your pain. (And I cut my own hair because I never found a hairdresser who understood my hair). All the best

[@esmeraldapooner751]

I have crazy curly hair. I do cut it myself which pretty good for two or three days even hairdresser liked it but, on day FOUR that's a different story (it goes crazy again.) Enough is enough, I took a salon person's business card and I take care of this. And this year.

[@lees_box]

03:09 It's called 'relaxing'.

[@normahenry3278]

I love Dan when he looking at what face shape you had and then measure what length or style his going to cut I’m also a cosmetologist but not practicing anymore coz my license expired but I had learn a lot technique from his cutting 😊

[@rjcarter2904]

You gave this handsome young man a nice trim. He said he wanted it to look more balanced, and now it does. He has nice hair, but it's so curly that I'm sure it's hard to style.

[@AndiGomez-yu2dx]

I’m usually impressed by Dan’s cut, but this was one of his worst ones..

[@mradhurley]

He said he wanted a long fringe and nothing too aggressive at the sides. I'd say Dan didn't pay attention to these requests in particular.

[@sharonb.5000]

I think his hair turned out great! He looks fantastic!

[@GG-Lee-NZ]

Would have liked to see this dry or in a couple of days!! I'm a curly so know all about this curly hair- mine is fine too. Mass not volume-dries with more mass. Its so frustrating to leave the hairdresser and have wet hair-not knowing what it will look like till its dry. I understand that you have to let it dry natural to get good curl form. I'm sure it will be fabulous!

[@jackieprice239]

Hehe the way you mention your guides so much you sound like a psychic 😂😂😂 grrat job on the cut

[@iwilpraiseu]

When I am hot I just pull my hair back in a pony tail or pull it off of my face. I have bangs and I can't stand to wear them when it is hot. It makes me so much hotter and pulling them off of myself makes a big difference. It's like night and day

[@catherinelaughlin4111]

His hair is just like my brother's. He had straight hair and then suddenly it just started curling around puberty, and now, just a crazy mass of curls.

[@marlenegold280]

That’s genes for ya. This happened with my cousins too.

[@Benjorunner]

"A haircut to grow out your hair" always has me confused 😅 the only time I ever succeeded was just not having it cut at all for a year, will look horrible for a while but in the end its worth it. I never succeeded when getting regular haircuts though.....

[@shanec8224]

yep, every single time I’ve regretted it… just gotta be patient to get thru the medium phase

[@elizabethgrainger4861]

Looks absolutely gorgeous at the end and he looks really handsome

[@Germania72]

I think he needs to moisturise that hair. He needs a leave-in, curl cream and a mousse or gel after the shower to seal moisture. That's what I do to keep my waves soft and not frizzy in the UK. Some people mentioned a relaxer. Nah, I see potential in his curls, but he needs to look after it with hair masks once in a while and styling products after washing and conditioning. Edit: And yes, I clarify my hair every 2-3 washes. It works marvels to reset your hair not only because of the water, but the buildup from styling products.

[@sbshortcake]

He needs some curly haircare tips, otherwise he'll just end up with dry, tangled/matted hair again. Setting with gel and mousse then diffuse would be great with getting curl definition, preventing frizz, and holding curls and moisture (which helps with preventing tangles).

[@barbielee7523]

[@seraphale]

Clarifying shampoo will suck the life out of your hair, especially curls. I live where there's hard water, and I've found a vinegar/water rinse once every 7-10 days to be entirely sufficient to keep the mineral deposits in check without drying the hair out.

[@steve00alt70]

We call it brocolli hair

[@jackieraulerson2005]

Lovely curls

[@ITcanB]

Why didn't he dry sculpt it first and then tidy it up wet? He needed more projection and volume on the top front, covering his forehead and then gradually shorter around the sides, higher on his crown to round it all out. Sorry but most hairdresser who don't have curly hair always F#%& it up and curly hair takes forever to grow out. ❤

[@cajbaf]

Always someone 🙄

[@alloneword154]

Hem….. what does the width of a section have to do with how much length comes off?

[@GreenersTM]

I think a wider section means more hair is being overdirected to the middle where it’s cut, so afterwards when let go the hair is left longer at the wide parts- less hair gets cut

[@alloneword154]

@@GreenersTM. Hmmm. Over directing usually makes only certain parts longer usually resulting in unevenness.

[@esmfamil5086]

He went from a young man with an overgrown broccoli haircut to a middle aged divorced man with a receding hairline, 2 mortgages, and a boring corporate job. Not sure which one is better. I think a more modern cut would've been more appropriate for his age and looked better on him. But at the end of the day he wanted a good cut to grow over time into his desired cut. Can't really blame anyone for this. The circumstances were what they were. What can you do.
