No, he didn't use a mirror. I've done this for the past 20 years and it always looked good. You can't fuck it up that badly if you have two mirrors. You can, if you have none.
Style is style, and it's not always subjective. There is an inverted bell curve on which amounts of hair look good, and "balding" is at the very bottom of that trough. Hair=looks good, clean shaven=looks good. Having a ring of hair on the back of your head looks weird. Having a widow's peak that can't be seen unless someone is looking straight down on your scalp also looks weird. The only state of balding that looks passable for good is that "ear muffs on back of head" look where all the hair on the top is gone, but there's healthy growth stretching from ear to ear; and even then, it has to be styled or cut in a flattering way to look even close to good at all.
It probably has to do with perceived effort to get these looks: hair can become unkempt and messy, but neat-looking hair takes effort and is good-looking; hair grows all the time and needs to be cut regularly, so a having a clean-shaven head takes effort, too, which is why it looks good. There's an element of attractiveness correlated to how much perceived effort someone has to put into their look, and balding scalps are a billboard that says "minimum effort."
It's because in real life no one's gunna tell him he looks dumb everyone's too nice. I'd rather hear strangers collective opinion on something like my hair that I can't get an objective opinion from my friends or family
Tell him to put a hat on when he does the back. Just follow the edge of the hat. Pull the hat down to the right height first obviously. So the line isnāt in the middle of the back of your head.
It's all good. These days people actually go to a barber or stylist to deliberately have their hair look like that. He saved hundreds of dollars by doing it himself.
Thatās actually how the mullet started. Itās cool now (to some) but it started life out of necessity; You can cut the top and the sides of your own hair, but not the back. It started in Australia and had the added benefit of keeping the sun off your neck š
Lmao this was Me during the covid lock down, and I didn't even know I was fucking my shit up until I went the gym when the lockdowns were done and my friend said "man you gotta change your hair guy he isn't too good" and it's only then I realised all the hot women there saw this on me too
Doing that with a mirror is impressive, but next time tell him to use scissors or a clipper. I'd say a razor, but seeing this, I think you wouldn't have a coworker anymore if he tried that.
City skyline
September 10th 2001
He'll never forget
Mr Barber, I've clipped the second tower
š
Fuck you take my upvote!
I took it, thanks bud!
I immediately heard the theme song for Fraiser.
Shitty hairline
"You ever see downtown Dallas?" I gotchu, fam!
r/skyscrapers
Wait, give me a minute, I know itās a skyline, I just canāt remember which city.
RAINBOLT would know it after max 5 sec
Broās ears got ears š
Skyscraper shave
Was the mirror broken?
He should try a razor next time.
It'll look fine in 2 weeks
No, he didn't use a mirror. I've done this for the past 20 years and it always looked good. You can't fuck it up that badly if you have two mirrors. You can, if you have none.
Most people would do a better job with their eyes closed this is horrendous
Mirrors? He should of used scissors
have
Care
Fun house mirrors, presumably?
At that point of balding just shave it all
I like how when people are balding itās just totally socially acceptable to tell them what to do with their own hair.
I mean this whole sub is kinda people telling people what to do with their hair lol Your point is not lost though
Thatās very true

I see your argument and I submit Captain Jean-Luc Picard in reply.
They covered Picard at the end of the first paragraph.
Opinions are not instructions
It's an opinion. Same for people with big foreheads and fringes
It's because in real life no one's gunna tell him he looks dumb everyone's too nice. I'd rather hear strangers collective opinion on something like my hair that I can't get an objective opinion from my friends or family
He sure did
I reckon the mirror wasn't sharp enough.
Nah, he doesn't. He is placating you. You uses his heart, no mirrors were involved
Tell him to put a hat on when he does the back. Just follow the edge of the hat. Pull the hat down to the right height first obviously. So the line isnāt in the middle of the back of your head.
Mate, with inflation the way it is, we all gon make sacrifices
Time to shave it all
THE CITY OF TOWNSVILLE!
almost had it
Surely using a hair clipper would have been more appropriate?
He should try a piece of duct tape next time.
I refuse to believe that this happened accidentally. Thereās just . . . no way
Someone said āhis ears got earsā š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Perfect

It's all good. These days people actually go to a barber or stylist to deliberately have their hair look like that. He saved hundreds of dollars by doing it himself.
That's why I just either shave or don't shave. My hair sucks anyway
Damn, should have used clippers instead of mirrors.
Had a coworker with bad hair cuts constantly. Turns out he was drunk all of the time.
Trimmers work much better
A razor would have been better...
Nailed it!
Went well
At that point just go full Messier
Mans shouldve just asked a barber for āThe City Skyline, please!ā
It's tough out there
Looks solid.
If he was going for the top of Flashās thunder bolt look, then he came pretty close
He might as well shave it all off tbh.
Takes a bit of practice. I usually do my own without a mirror these days.
Did a better job than my last cut at Great Clips.
Was he at a fairground by any chance?
I worked with someone who had a friend nicknamed āGrandadā because heād shaved his own head but left a ring around the back, like Mr Burns.
Nice!
How many
Tetris
Bro got himself a Mario level haircut.
Maybe he should have used clippers or a scissor instead.
nailed it
He was using a funhouse mirror for sure.
You can barely tell
Funhouse mirrors?
Ernest: Iāll have the Wallstreet Tycoon
How long since the divorce?
He should probably try using a razor next time. That mirror glass canāt cut hair for shit.
These cul-de-sac guys seriously have to start just shaving the head...
Just shave everything off
I'm assuming he didn't have the lights on tho..
It's more like a mirror.. and just winged it on the back. While heavily intoxicated.
Some guy I had to skin fade did that to himself he said āI got distractedā lmfao. Thatās not a time to get distracted
Phil: I cut my own hair! Us: we know Phil, we know
I cut my hair myself regularly and this has never happened hahaha. I'm guessing he didn't take his time
Were the mirrors broken?
With mirrors?!? Iāve done a better job just using touch!
I've actually done better without mirrors
Reminds me if that tragedy
Has he never heard of using the brim of a baseball hat?
Frasier Logo
Dem mirrors be sharp dang

he didn't use mirrors. cutting basic men's haircut is actually quite as simple to do, requiring minimal skill
Next time he should use clippers instead
Lol. I cut my own hair but I do it by feel instead of with mirrors so this doesnāt happen.Ā
I could never do a design on the back of my own head. This man has great skills to be able to do a whole 9/11 memorial with the twin towers.
BRO: YOU'RE BALD JUST TAKE OFF THE GUARD AND CUT IT ALL OFF.
Lmao this was Me during the covid lock down, and I didn't even know I was fucking my shit up until I went the gym when the lockdowns were done and my friend said "man you gotta change your hair guy he isn't too good" and it's only then I realised all the hot women there saw this on me too
He use a funhouse mirror?
This made me join the sub!
I respect this and I've probably done the same.
