STEP 2: Be Realistic About Your Hair Type
Have thick, Brillo-pad hair but want it to hang like Johnny Depp’s? Not gonna happen. (His hair is fine and slightly wavy.) Even if your barber trimmed a hair-by-hair replica, yours would look much different. Instead, look to guys who have hair like yours — for example, Brillo boy should look to guys like Lenny Kravitz, Justin Timberlake or Adrian Grenier for inspiration.
“The biggest mistake is to request a haircut that does not work with his hair texture,” says Pelusi. Figure out whether your hair is fine, thick, straight, wavy, curly or kinky — ask a woman, ask a barber, ask somebody. If you don’t know whether the style you want will work on your hair, just ask; otherwise, your barber might assume you’re OK with the soon-to-be-tragic outcome.
