I thought It was short all around.. well I still might need some convinceing to grow it to my nose in the front.... Maby I'll do It to my eye brow or a little bigger. I have short hair about 3 or 4cm..... so to get it to stay back I have to slick it back... if it is longer in the front is it easier? [huh]Dixon Cannon said:SH, here's what I do; I found a barber that will listen to my instructions so it works out pretty good. I grow the hair on the top of my head long - long enough that when I pull it forward, it's down to at least the tip of my nose. When longer, prior to a haircut, it will touch my top lip. I ask the barber not to cut length from the top but to cut the sides shorter, tapering to the top of the ear and the same with the back.
Immediately after a haircut, for a couple of weeks, I can slick it right back, with or without a center part. As it grows between haircuts I tend not to slick it but mousse it so it stays back (more on the sides than the top). The top being longer will tend to fly forward as the day goes on - sometimes with a Clark Gable kind of panache, sometimes with fly-away abandon. Some spray on top helps contol it.
The best presentation of this type of haircut is Brendan Fraser in his 'Mummy' movies. Google image him here: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=brendan%20fraser%20mummy&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
Hope that helps. From my head to yours!
