Ok, so down here in Aust its getting pretty warm, I decided its perfect timing to cut all my hair off and do the buzz cut thing, my gf says wait till she comes home and she will do it for me. I (being a man) know I can do it myself

Looks pretty good, I was impressed. Happy with it. Decided to pick up the clippers and trim it a bit

Yes, I forgot to put the numbered blade back on. ;D
I suppose to go to work tomorrow, any ideas on how to fix this??? What should I do? I work in the Customer Service Industry and there is about 3000 guys at work, I cant go like this!!!
I couldn't help but laugh the irony!
QuoteI (being a man) know I can do it myself
I would keep shaving it off!Or cut the sides ALOT shorter!
I'm sorry but..........LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh man! This reminds me, of when I let my ex, cut my hair. "Oh yeah, I TOTALLY know how to cut hair" This EXACT same thing happened. Sorry bud, but your best bet is to buzz your entire head, unless you want a ring around your dome. Sucks, but, lesson learned. It looks good, besides that though :)
A very small toupee and some crazy glue. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi11.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa191%2Fcynthiag932%2Fsmily.jpg&hash=0ff0ae9048fbde88a51acd2a17e3ac9a8dfba111)

A baseball cap couldn't hurt, could it? A nice fedora?
Gauze and medical tape. Make it look like an injury. ;D
I did that to my son once. Buzzed him, and a minute later saw a long strand sticking up. The clippers didn't have the guard on, but I was only clipping that one hair, what's the harm?? Well he moved his head at the wrong moment and had a bald spot on the top of his head.

Definitely some good ideas here. Another idea is to put one on the other side or make it into a design so it looks like it was done on purpose. I think trimming the sides shorter is the best of the ideas though.
Except for the bald bit, it looks fantastic on you, but I'm suddenly glad I can't afford clippers, I'd probably be in the same fix! (grin) I "buzzed" mine with scissors... the haircut looks good, but I somehow managed to nick most of my fingers.
Why can't you just tell people you tried to cut it yourself and had a little mishap? Doing it yourself IS such a guy thing, and if you tell it with humor, maybe they'll laugh with you (instead of at you). I bet your not the only guy out of 3000 to do that.
At least it won't take long to grow back!

Not a bad idea actually. Gluck man ahahahaa.
Yeah, I'm also for putting some medical tape on it and saying you got stiches or something.
Or you could just wear it with pride. I think a lot of guys will give you ->-bleeped-<- for it but they all know it could have just as easily been them.
You're a legend.
You could also say one of your friends had been watching Jackass and buzzed you ;)
Or maybe get some sort of tattoo there. I reckon shaving both sides off will look worse.
LMAO!!!!
Three ideas:
1. Shave your whole head
2. Just shave the area under the accident
3. Super glue your hair back on ;D
Shave the sides, it will look like you're hip.
bandannas are your friend.
LMAO I've seen this done on accident so many times! I like the stitches story! That would be the best!!
lmao :D :D :D its gonna grow back. gonna take years but its gonna grow back
>:-) :D
Na, Seriously though, I knew a member here who use to wear a bandanna because of a problem with a scarcity of hair on top of here head.
Cindy
thanks for all your suggestions guys. While I loved the idea of having some Medical tape on my head and faking a great injury (involving motorbike stunts or shark attacks :D). I went with getting a barber to shave off the sides

Now no-one can call me a square anymore, lol
lol i like the new cut. looks pretty good!
Nice. I actually think it looks better now. Err. Short hair vs. shortER hair, disregarding the bald patch. :D
Wow! I'd say it looks much better than the cut you were originally doing.
It looks great on you, very masculine. :)
LMAO! Glad you got it fixed, but I have to brag. I have cut my hair 4 times now and haven't managed to slip on that! who ho!
Better luck next time by friend.
lol great cut there
LOL Thank you for posting this. I love the "I (being a man) know I can do it myself" line, that SO sounds like something I would say.
If I'd shaved my hair though, it wouldn't have come out half as good as yours had, minus the bald spot bro, so kudos on the attempt anyway
Yep, it looks very nice... although you missed your opportunity to glue a black button on the spot and tell people that it was a port that had been unplugged because you'd woken up from within The Matrix, and are now your real self. ;)
Na that's where I hide my Martian antenna array.
Cindy
I really like it too!
Looks cute now. Great job initially but I actually really like it with the sides shaved. It looks kind of punkish and hip.

Thats cool bro :laugh: good job! :icon_woowoo:
Didn't mention it before but I'm diggin the new do too :) It is SICK
Just to be completely honest, I think the original haircut bordered on looking almost lesbian (because of your eyes), but the new one with the shaved sides definitely looks male. I would stay with that look if I were you.
