View Full Version : Hair cut advise please URGENT

A friend of Red Ones thought it a good idea to cut his own hair with some clippers. Number 3 all over, however, he forgot to put the guard on for the first bit and now has a shaven stipe up the back!
Any advise of what can be done before the friends wife comes home and p***es herself laughing at this fundamentally stupid mistake. (oh, and by the way the friend has a reasonably high profile job in a respectable business and realy doesn't want to look stupid at work tomorrow either!)
I wil pass all help onto the friend!
A hoodie, hat & scarf or shave the lot. Or persuade 100 other ppl to do the same and it'll be the latest thing! 8)

I think most of us have been here at one stage or another :lol:
I can only suggest you invent a humerous story to account for the unfortunate haircut - there is nothing worse than having to admit that it's self inflicted :P

Most normal people would have done this when they were between 7 and 16 years old. My friend is 35 and there is no way he can get awy with a hoody at work!!
I am more woried that wife will wet herself laughing!
(Clearly my friend is worried too!!)
Shave it all off and donate some money to charity. :lol:

Nice idea - though sadly my friend was trying to save money by cutting his hair himself!!
BTW was that your bike I saw at Brent Cross the other day?

How about getting an appropriately-coloured felt tip pen and filling in the missing bits?
Don't go out in the rain tho.....
Done that before, gave up and shaved the whole lot off from the blade...
got some interesting comments :lol:

Friend? Yeah, RIGHT!
(Standard format when seeking advice about embarrassing disease/mistake/mighty clanger: begin all cries-de-coeur with "I have a friend....")

My friend tells me his first though was "Sugar - I gotta go to work tomorrow" the second thought was "I could write 'Big Ape' in it"
oh and his 3 year old son - looked in horror, then laughed and said "Shall I get the sticky plasters?"

Shave it all short i would imagine being the best solution, depending on how visible the thing at the back is.
Or just make it all short at the back.
Perhaps have a hairdresser look at it?
It will grow out very quickly anyway?
Try to blend it in, will probably need someone else to do it.
If can't do, shave the lot. I speak from experience....

No choice. Shave the lot off.
But here is the tricky part.
When you *ahem* your friend is asked what the story is, get your friend to quietly and secretly tell them he is going bald, and is mortified about it, and please dont tell anyone else in work.
10 minutes later evreyone will know.
in three months later, when sporting a plush mop of radiant hair, the questions will come.
At this point tell them you invented some magical baldness cure. Sell company CEO the rights to this cure, for some laughabley cheap amount.
Say 4 million sterling.
Buy a small island.
Live there for the rest of your life.
Have lots of cute polynesian kids.

As some of you here will know for some reason at one stage I 'sported' a goatee beard and more recently a stripey bit (copied by David James at one time after he came to me to seek goal keeping advice). Hence in posession of a beard trimmer, I sometimes 'tidy myself up a bit'. One day I decided to trim those long eyebrow hairs (as you do 8-[ ) and on application to the brow heard the 'zzzzzzzz....' noise rather than the more discrete cutting noise that Red Ones' 'friend' is now familiar with. Time seemed to stand still as I looked in the mirror to see that I had indeed, shaved half of one eyebrow off.
Now that was tricky to deal with. Unlike your hair where you can claim suddenly to have seen the light of the baldy route, or claim its now all the rage and just like Beckham's, or your lid is a bit tight, you can't just shave both you eyebrows off.
Red Ones, I empathise with your 'friend'. At least you may now look 'hard' but not like a triple-murdering member of the Crips like I did :(. Which one of the Mitchel brothers do you most resemble. anyway? :lol:

Thing about being bald is... when you are washing your face, where do you stop?
The old ones are the best ones.

you dont mate! Just keep on going!
No chance of helmet hair either 8) :lol:
Just leave the guard off and do the rest of your head, trust me you won't cut yourself. I prefer doing that than shaving as my scalp doesn't like to be shaved and I've never had problems.
you could do it US military style. Shave the virtical bits of your head, leave the top a #3 with the clippers. I used to have hair down to my shoulders. Then last july I went out and cut it down to a "buzz cut." That's when I decided I wanted a motorcycle. Three months later I had my SV.

Well
Some 'sensible' friends of ours came round last night and gave some 'useful' advice (after rolling around with laughter)
They suggested the US Military look too. So my friend went in the kitchen and shaved the back and sides and left the No3 on top. To be honest it looked less like GI Joe that emerged from the kitchen and more like an overgrown Norwich Canary.
So after another glass of wine the 'sensible' friends pointed out that shaving the whole head was the only alternative left. So it all came off.
Going to bed last night, the wife rolled up with laughter again, just as she did at football when she ran of with his hat (remember he hadn't shaved the rest of his head whilst at football, so he still had that bald stripe!) then she said "Well, that's one way to get the Boss to agree to a week off at short notice"
Getting up this morning he looked in the mirror and saw Grant Mitchell looking back. He only hopes now that his lid doesn't Velco to his head on the way to work.

Interesting that this last post went from a "friend", to the 1st person (as in I).
Well, no more helmet hair but I think the summer time would have been better....

I think it was obvious from the initial post that red ones had an imaginary friend.
On the eyebrows thing above. Years ago I was reroofing my leaky garage and had hired one of those tar boilers. Turned on gas. struck match. damm leaky roof and damp matches so got fresh box out of the house struck it.
whoops had forgot to turn off gas whilst I went for a fresh box of matches. When I finally picked myself off the floor (now how did I get so far from the garage?) my eyebrows and the fringe at the front of my head (Yeah used to have hair) were cinders. At least eyebrows grew back and these days are more like antennae

I burned off quite a lot of my fringe with a soldering iron a while back. Sometimes being known for your terrible hair is an advantage, nobody noticed :0
