That "Know When to Stop Combing" step is crucial. Don't know how many times I've messed up a perfectly fine styling job trying to fix something I perceived as an imperfection

@Tom_le_Grand 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah it is one of the most important steps. I can ruin a perfectly fine pomp. You almost never get it perfect but you'll learn in time when enough is enough.

@Tom_le_Grand 6 жыл бұрын

It's all in the Orange-Teal color correction of the video. Also the light shining on my hair is daylight while the camera was set on tungsten. That setting makes daylight blue. My hair has a more brown color in real life.

Do you dye your hair or is the jet-black collor all yours?

@Tom_le_Grand 3 жыл бұрын

This was dyed to my "original" Asian color haha. It used to be very dark brown/black. With age it has started to fade away to grey. I dyed it for 4-5 years and I hated the every six weeks redo. So since PANIC-19, I freed myself and I'm back to half brown/half grey. In the video it looks more jet-black than it was because of the color correction I did in the edit.

@Tom_le_Grand 4 жыл бұрын

Hey I missed this one. Yes I dye my hair. It used to be my natural colour but it faded away with the years ;) I use a blend of Clairol Nice 'n Easy No Ammonia Hair Dye Dark Brown 79 and Black 83. It takes some practice to get it right. Also the colors in the video have been graded in a teal-blue setting so what you see is not representative for how it looks in reality.

@@lucasjohnson6254 Yeah I remember when I had a disconnected cut with a shaved in part. It took me at least three months to get back on track. Once you have a bit of length you can try use some gel type pomade to glue it to your head but there is no way around awkwardness haha. Just resist the urge to take it all off again when you look like an idiot (in your own mind) and be sure that your barber only cleans up your neck and around your ears.
