Hey guys, long time no see and yes, that’s a skin fade haircut you can see in the thumbnail haha.
Well technically in this video it’s a zero fade, but I’ve actually been asking for a skin fade when I go to the barber, it just grows really quickly and it doesn’t stay as a skin fade for long.😅😂
00:00 - Intro
Anyway, the reason I’ve decided to check in here today was for a few reasons.
1. I miss you guys and wanted to say hello.
2. I wanted to share an update on how my new role at work is going.
3. Obviously to discuss my new skin fade short top hairstyle.
4. What my new KZfaq schedule Looks like.
5. To give you guys an update on what the hell is happening with the Man Buns & Manes community.
00:44 - Job & Work Life Update
So putting the buzz cut skin fade aside for a second, the job is going great! I’m incredibly stimulated with what I’m doing right now and the workload has certainly gotten bigger as I anticipated!
So to be honest, stepping away from KZfaq was the right decision in order for me to really throw myself into my job and I’m starting to find a good rhythm now which is how I’ve managed to even put this video together haha.
I also just miss being on here and talking checking in with you guys. Like I said before I left I literally haven’t stepped away from doing this for longer than a month in 8 years, so it felt extremely weird and I think it’s something I’d still like to keep doing but I just need to be really careful about how much I commit to. More on that later though.
I think I should probably address the elephant in the room, my new haircut!
03:09 - My New Skin Fade Haircut
So what’s with the skin fade? WHy is it not a skin fade with LONG HAIR? Wasn’t long hair meant to be forever?!?!?
I explain this more in the video but in short, having a bit of time away from making content has helped me take a step back and realise that although long hair works for me and it’s been a great way for me to connect with my audience, it has kinda consumed my whole online identity and when i thought about it, I’m actually much more than just a guy who’s enthusiastic about long hair lol.
I love long hair, I love short hair, I love fashion, I love looking after myself, I love learning new things, I love trying new things and I love connecting with people in all sorts of different ways.
& I feel like if I’m making content I should be doing my best to reflect all of that instead of pigeon holing myself into a tiny little box about 1 thing.
I also think I’ve been craving something new for a while now and I didn’t realise it until I separated myself from this whole environment and actually had a minute to think about it.
So here I am with skin fade lol!
What is a skin fade you ask? It’s pretty much like any fade except the lowest point of the hairstyle is shaved to the skin and prgressive gets longer as it goes up your head.
Actually whilst I’m here writing this I just gave myself a great new video idea! I think I’m inspired to make a video about fades now lol.
Perhaps a video on the Skin Fade vs Zero Fade? Let me know what you think in the comments.
Moving on, once I initially decided to cut my hair off again I was like the ideas would not stop flowing because when it comes to skin fades the possibilities are endless you can get a skin fade taper cut or skin fade mullet or skin fade mohawk or a skin fade curly hair style, a skin fade undercut, a skin fade buzz cut and the list literally goes on forever.
So I had a very hard time deciding but I ended up going with a skin fade with a short top just to keep things simple and I’m absolutely obsessed with it.
Although I’m enjoying my new look and want to encourage you guys to pursue the look you want, I don’t want my new look to make you feel like giving up on your hair growth journey just yet. Every man needs to grow his hair out at least once haha. So hang in there!
06:04 - My New KZfaq Schedule.
Seeing as I’m running out of space whilst writing this description, I’d like to encourage you to watch this part of the video so you know exactly where I’m at with my posting commitments.
07:28 - What’s Happening With Man Buns & Manes?
As mentioned in the previous point, please watch this part of the video for an update.
08:18 - Conclusion
So that’s everything that’s new in a nutshell. I really really miss you guys a lot and look forward to checking in here with you every now and again.
I’m sorry if I’ve disappointed any of you but leaving the long hair behind, it’s just how I’m feeling right now and it doesn’t for one second make any of my previous content redundant. It’s all genuine and all there for those of you who wish to continue.
I hope you have a wonderful day today and I look forward to seeing you next week for my very late 6 month beard roller update.
Yours in good hair,
Thomas.
