You're rite, everyone must have a vintage style you can actually sculpt, not imagine.Geesie said:Of course, one must also know if their hair is capable of doing what's in the picture.

Vic said:Yeah, you're right on about Terry's hair! It was basically a flat top on the top (pushed forward & brushed up at the front) and really long and slicked back on the sides. I've seen 'em where it's not all matted forward also. Looks cool on people who have poker-straight thick hair. Never liked it on Terry, though.
That's cool that you wear a Tony Curtis! Can you post a pic?

***********Vic said:I've found that it's almost like a language that changes dialect by region...especially since info wasn't so easily exchanged in those days, but I grew up learning that Terry's style was called a 'Detroit.' I wouldn't doubt that others called it a 'Hollywood'...though I've never heard it called as such.
Hey that's a great style! Got a DA on back kind of, with the mid part but I like the fragmented look with grease more than a perfectly straight and matted look. So the pictures are great. I do the same thing if I get my Tony Curtis messed up I got to fix it up in a mirror right away! I just got a fade (1 on back n sides, tapered up to long on top) and it's great for an intimidating, military greased look.Jan said:Of course. Also, the stylist should also not jump into something, they do not have experience with. You should get a consultation from the stylist first. I had one a week prior to getting my hair cut. Plus, it didn't hurt that my guy knows the hairstyle I like.
My mouth was doing something stupid. And my hair looks like it has chunks missing.
My kid messed up my hair, prior to leaving the house. So I had to fix it when I got to the restroom at Starbucks. Hence, the not so "slick"-ness of the pomp. It didn't help that it's crazy windy today.
Again, super spacey on top. The bottom "fringes" need to be cleaned up. Too curly for my liking.
If only I can take a picture of my hair at the moment, it looks a lot better than those pics. :eusa_doh:
I got the same thing, 'cept tapered.flat-top said:From haircutsformen.org:

Also - gotta question. Watching a lot of TCM lately. Looks like a lot of men's napes are blocked a lot higher than their natural hairline would be, as if they shaved the backs of their necks right up to the bottom of the skull. Am I wrong?

This is how I cut my hair as well, using the bottom of my skull as the starting point. Then I skin fade it up. It's a very cool period look and it makes the haircut last just a little bit longer.inappropriate said:Also - gotta question. Watching a lot of TCM lately.

Right, a short 1 blade on the back and sides masterfully tapered and a high neckline, for the 30s look.inappropriate said:I'm in central Florida and can't find a decent barber anywhere.
