Try a slick back style or a high pompadour.

I've been using Bumble & Bumble Sumotech for about 4 years now but have been looking for something with a little less weight. Tried out Rusk Paste as per a suggestion on SF. I'm not 100% sold on it, maybe because I'm so used to the Sumotech, but it is a good product and worth a shot.

How long did it take you to get the bun?View media item 1482410
I've been growing my hair out lately and this is what I have so far. I don't always bun it though. Sorry for the filter, it's from my gram lol

It's hard to say. Maybe a year or a little bit over. I usually just shaved my sides and kept the top, but I have been growing everything out since labor day. Eventually I want all my hair to go up, not just the top. Last time I cut the top was probably last July or August. I actually have the bottom knotted as well, its hard to see it. My hair grows pretty quick so It's hard to say how long it'll take you though. Are you trying to grow yours, and how long have you been growing your top?

I've been thinking about getting a bun for a long time, it's always been a project but I've never had the patience to actually go through with it. My hair grows back really really fast, I also don't want that little tip that some dudes have. I want it to be actually big and ****
but I think from here on out I'm just gonna grow it out

haha yea, that struggle tip is awkward. Yea, if you can get passed that awkward hair stage, you should be good to go. Grow it out and do all sorts of stuff with your hair. You'll have enough of it to do w.e you please

Did the same thing. My top ties up but just started growing out the sides too.
Do you still get a very low fade?

Are you referring to me? I actually haven't touched my hair at all since labor day. When it gets really long, I'll probably go to my barber to give it some shape.
Btw, growing out the sides for me was a pain. My Asian hair grows out like straw, and only goes down when it's long enough. My sides are now finally starting to sort of cooperate.

Been rocking this for over four years now and I'm so bored of it! I have super thick hair so I put so much products and hairspray in it that it hurts just to lay my head down without washing it out. I want something different, easier to maintain and less products! Help a brother out!
But shout out to the natural parters haha ain't no artificial parts here b

Try Bumble & Bumble Sumotech. Works good for me and I have really thick hair.
Where in Dallas do you get your haircut? Just moved back home to Dallas and have been looking for a good place.
Trying to change up my regular cut - #1 on the sides faded up, longer on top. Trying to grow out the sides a bit and go for a messy natural look because I feel like everyone has the undercut/clean cut/madmen feel going on now. Here's my progress so far:

Welcome home bro! So I been getting my haircut at the same barbershop here in Grand Prairie for nearly 6-7 years now. It's call "Just Real Cutz" and they are all barbers there. It's a nice retail spot, nothing fancy where you get free beers or anything, but its clean, everyone there knows each other and hangs out outside of the barbershop. Go to anyone BUT Mikey .. he can't cut to save his life, he's honestly there because the owner is giving him a second chance in life and to stay out of trouble haha but I do recommend Louis or Dustin .. but Billy D there hits you with the meanest fade, its smooth as butter bro, but he doesn't like cutting anything on top, he hates using scissors. Cuts are $18 and I usually tip a $5 or more ..
I used to go to Studio 1514 in Downtown Dallas when I worked there but I got sick of Gabe (I don't think he works there anymore) always running behind on his appointments, making you wait hours and putting people ahead of you if they tip him like $100. Plus I was spending like $60 with tip on a haircut every two weeks wasn't worth it.
But I'll go grab some of that Bumble & Bumble you're recommending next wknd. My hair is long down to my lips now, I can barley bun it but I want to do something different, like go for the messy look but not sure if I can pull it off.

What kind of legitimate barber cannot scissor?

Ah man, GP is a bit out of the way for me. I live in Mesquite and spend most of my time somewhere around 75. There's a spot in Richardson some friends were telling me about called Razorz that sounds like the spot you go to. My past few haircuts have been at Floyd's in either Uptown or Addison.
They have the Sumotech at Sephora, which is at pretty much all the malls so that's your best bet fyi. Let me know what you think after you try it, never had my hair that long so I wonder how you'll like it.
I've noticed that if a barber can give you a good fade, they usually aren't handy with the scissors. I hate when people just grab your hair and cut straight across without taking into account the shape of your head and texture of your hair. When I get a haircut I ask them to texture and thin out the top, never had a barber give a good fade and take care of the top the way I like it. For a while I would go get a fade and just cut the top myself. A lady who cut my hair once told me that when you get trained to be a barber, they don't really train you to use scissors, but more to use the clippers.What kind of legitimate barber cannot scissor?

Paying $60 w/ a tip isn't irregular for getting a haircut at a Salon. I used to pay $50 (including tip) at Salon Pompeo in Dallas. The lady who cut my hair was knowledgable, gave me advice on what products to use, how to style my hair, and styling techniques. Plus I got a shampoo before/after and free drinks. Unfortunately, I left my job to go back to school so I can't afford such luxuries anymore

I've had spiked hair since 8th grade , I wanna do a comb-over, but my hair grows way too fast and it'll be expensive to maintain.

You'd just need a comb / brush and more hair product. I wouldn't consider that a lot more expensive.
Never been to a salon but wondered how differently they cut hair from barbers.

It's all depending on personal experience. All I know is that my barber is vicious with scissors and fades.
I go to an OG though. Dude been on since the 80's.

I was just saying "Billy D" doesn't like using scissors, he's just not that good at it, and doesn't even care to learn because most of his customers don't need it. But Louis and Dusty can hit you with that fade and take care of you on top. You always see me ICY with the cuts Adrian so you already know haha
And yea, I used to pay $60 for a cut because it WAS at a Salon, with hairstylist & barbers and the barbers there were cold man. They were on some celebrity status, literally features in magazines and cut all the celebs that come in town and all the athletes. They would do woman hair too! But I just couldn't deal with the hetic schedules and wait time. Just wasn't worth it to me. But man do I miss the treatment there. They would get you anything you want to drink, then wash & massage your scalp, do the hot towel wrap, razor shave, haircut, line up all razors, I mean it was just a whole experience.
I wouldn't say you have a vicious fade though
