watch this if you can't find a hairstyle

and so I've had a lot of clients over the years who are like after I shampoo my hair I have to wear a beanie half a day before it looks right so now what they're figuring out is that they just don't shampoo their hair for a couple days it starts to look better and better camera one rolls camera two rolls scene one take one hello YouTube I'm Andrew doir you can find my work on Instagram at Andrew doir I'd like to thank on point fresh for having me back here to talk about hair this is

pretty much the only thing I know about I've been a hairdresser in Southern California for roughly 20 years now and these days I'm splitting my time between Tustin California and Nashville Tennessee if you happen to be near either of those places I would love the opportunity to sit down and work with you personally but until then I've got a list of questions here that on point fresh has sent me about hair now mind you I'm going to speak from my perspective as a working professional I work 50 hours a week doing haircuts for all kinds

of people really my clients are doctors and lawyers real estate agents but I also happen to cut a couple of athletes and actors and models and musicians so maybe I don't have the coolest hair you've ever seen But there is a chance that I might be the guy behind the coolest hair you've ever seen so the first question sent here what are the most popular or requested hairstyles you're getting right now if you can break them down by age demographics it would be great I would say my clients who are 18 and 25 they're really

going hard on this longer flowier Messier hairstyle thing what I'm seeing a ton of is natural textures people really like wave they really like curl a lot of kids in this age group are getting perms these days it's actually bad perms are in I'm sure you know if you're watching this but I see a lot of people with straight hair who want it to bend more and I'm seeing kind of a move away from tidier fresher crisper tighter hairstyles we get a lot of requests for like everything comes from Tik Tok but Tik Tok didn't

invent it it's just a reinvention of something that previously existed and so if you were to watch the show Boy Meets World that's a a good example of where the trends in that age group are kind of not that they're watching that show and picking it off of that show but those are the kinds of hairstyles very 1990s like middle part skater kid haircut but then at the same time they don't want it to look so pristine and combed into place they they really want it to look disheveled there's a couple Barbers I know who

are really feeling it at this look shout out to dino The Barber on Instagram he works out of La he kills this look and also Trent cuts on Instagram these guys if you go look at their post you can see what I'm talking about it's very like like disheveled and lived in but with a very 1990s shape and style to it and then I think this younger age group still has a very Barber Shop heavy mentality in that I'll get a lot of requests for like I want the messy flow but I want really tidy

sideburns or a clean taper and often times actually the taper kind of goes against what they want their hair to do and so we kind of have this decision to make do you want it tapered like you're used to doing or do you want to go for the look so yeah and that younger age group they still very much have the clean tidy lines like they'll hide them into the otherwise messy haircut what I'm finding from people who are a little bit older I would say 25 to 35 a really big push toward lived in

hair and what I mean by that is if you were to go look at the Red Carpet or any of these celebrities that we look up to for hair icons or whatever all the Brad Pitts and those guys you almost never see them with perfect crispy haircuts there's some level of I don't even know if imperfection is the right word but it's like it's a very lived in natural finish the idea is you get a haircut today that looks like you got a haircut last week and that is a massive massive request that I'm getting

lately the fun thing really for all age groups regarding Trends right now is there's not any one thing that's popular I'm getting things from very short messy buzzcuts kind of like what I have right now it's funny cuz you go into some shops you say I want it short and messy and I'll go what do you mean short is messy if you go look at celebrities with very short hair like the Buzz Cuts and things in in Hollywood they have a very unkempt grown-in look to them even while very very short like you go look

the Ryan Reynolds haircuts and stuff they're very disheveled but very short and I'm getting people in real life asking for that you know the last 10 years if somebody wanted short hair they wanted it short and clean but now I'm getting very specific requests like I want it short but messy so that's something that really all the age groups are kind of doing here and there but mostly that kind of um 25 to 35 uh and I think it's as a result of they just don't want to style their hair they want to go like

this and be done I think across most age groups as well looking like you styled your hair is kind of on the way out I'll get into that more on the next question people don't want to look like they tried at least in my clientele they they don't want to look like they got the $100 haircut and incidentally that's kind of what a $100 haircut often can get you is it doesn't look like you tried but you accidentally happen to look good anyways and that's a it's a very narrow Target to hit to do something

kind of disheveled and messy but kind of tasteful at the same time I'm getting a lot of mullets right now like a lot of mullets I literally just finished doing one right before I sat down to make this video and what he requested he's like dude I want this thing to look dirty I want it to look nasty but I want it to look cool at the same time and so it's not as simple as just bash up the haircut and make it like bad if you know what you're looking at there's a lot of

shape involved there to to keep it still tasteful and tailored looking but the overall finish like I mean he literally told me he's like I want to take product in the morning and go like this and then not think about it for a week that has been a huge request the The Unfinished kind of messy cuts the really disheveled finishes but still classically shaped in in most cases the mullet I guess maybe is kind of like a pseudo classic I'm still getting a lot of the'80s businessman as far as like my 35 Plus year olds

like they want to look like um and I mentioned this in the last video I Did It On Point fresh but I'm still getting a lot of requests for like the American Psycho that's not going anywhere in fact I think that's only going to get more popular and another one that surprised me is long layered hair is becoming popular and when I say layered I mean like the hair on top doesn't hang down as far as the hair on the bottom if all the hair hangs down to the same place you have layers you have

a one length haircut and it doesn't move because the hair on top weighs down everything else and then the hair on the bottom pushes out the hair on top and so if you're growing your hair out and you end up getting this kind of triangle shape it's because you need your hair layered and so what I'm getting a lot of requests for is guys who Maybe started growing their hair out way back in Co and maybe trimmed it once or twice along the way and now they've got hair down to here that's all one length

and so it's pushing out and all they've known is like I don't know just pull it down and cut the back and now what they're saying is like I want my hair to move and I want it to do stuff probably five times this week I made that sort of transformation on clients where they came in with very long on length hair and they left with layers and so what these layers will do is like the hair on the top and the hair on the bottom if you pull them out this way they'll be the

same length here but when you pull them down the hair on the bottom is going to hang much further than the hair on the top wheel and so everything in between here flips out and moves that's what layers are and what I'm seeing my clients do with these long layered haircuts is essentially you treat the front like you have just a regular medium length haircut you'll slick it back side part it and let it be up and messy and then in the back you just have this like party happening back there so that's actually been

really ramping up in popularity recently people for so many years were doing longer tops shorter bottoms and now it's actually going in the inverse and we're seeing shorter tops with longer bottoms very 1980s 1990s like if you watch stranger things a lot of the hairstyles in there that when the show came out we kind of outlandish they're like legit now like people really want like stranger things haircuts like color popped on a on a jean jacket thing if you were to go look at like the Hollywood hunks of like 1987 to 1997 that whole range

right there that's what's popular like across the board you find like bonio Del Toro in 1994 that's a look you find Brad Pit in 1995 that's a look that's popular right now even actually Brad Pit for a lot of years off and on he would do a very like wet kind of look like his hair was messy but it was very wet looking I'm getting requests for that dudes are like dude I want like the LA looks kind of spiky look which takes me back to seventh grade way back in 1997 when everybody did that

with their hair so that was a very long answer but it's not a simple straightforward thing to answer right now like there's not any one haircut that's popular it's it's almost like people look at the haircuts that are becoming unpopular and I'll get to that in one second and they're like I want anything but that and it's Hail Mary time people are really going out there with these ideas but what they're not doing so much of is really crispy tailored tidy stuff it's very messy it's very organic it's very loose question number two what hairstyles

do you see going out of favor is the broccoli head hairstyle on its last leg what I see people come in nearly repulsed by these days is they don't want comb lines they don't want heavy pomades they don't want anything that looks like they tried even the people who are spending $100 on a haircut and spending 50 bucks on a really nice hair product they're putting in the effort but it's different now rather than daily putting every hair perfectly in place like that's uh I I don't want to be that guy anymore they want to

put time into it less frequently and the resulting look is just something a lot more halfhazard and lived in and so when I get a client who says they want a short haircut I'll I'll ask them do you want to see clean hard lines like do you want to look like you got a haircut or do you want me to leave the lines kind of natural like you didn't get a haircut and for a long time it was kind of 50/50 some like the fresh look but these days I almost never do lines on a

haircut like almost nobody wants that for a couple minutes there maybe a few years ago people were kind of throwing designs in their hair I haven't seen a design from like anybody except for the people who specialize in that and only do that but designs are like out another thing that's kind of out is so the broccoli head thing I have a really hard time commenting on that because I never had a lot of those clients here I had maybe like two dudes who did that um but they were perming their hair to do so

and it ended up being way more upkeep for for them than what they wanted and so they didn't stick with it long term because of that and so I I wouldn't be surprised if that went out of style plus obviously it's a meme like it's got a a reputation on the Internet it's like the Edgar cut and the broccoli cut are like fighting for the worst haircuts on the internet although I've seen some good Edgar out there I'm not going to knock it another thing that I'm seeing sort of fall out of fashion is side

Parts like anything that's very 1940s 1950s just anything really too classic like it's definitely more ' 80s 9s now and less 40s 50s and so I still do them on guys who are 50 and just they look at what their kids are doing and they think they're doing what their kids are doing but really they're doing what their kids did 5 years ago I don't do many of those cuts anymore very few I'm not going to say I never do them I'm not mad about it either because for a good 10 years there that was

like the only kind of haircut that we were doing like everybody just wanted the same look next question what facial hair trends are you seeing and is there any method to The Madness of matching hairstyles with certain facial hairstyles so I am not actually a beard expert I do do beards but kind of just like an add-on that I kind of do on the sides like I don't have any who come in just for their beard but it's something I'll do for a client who's getting a haircut what I've been getting requests for lately with

the Beards is very similar to what I said about haircuts in general is that they don't want lines they don't want my clients will say like hey can you clean up my beard but I don't want that like painted on like perfect line thing they want everything to look very organic and natural and so what I'm finding myself doing more with beards now is fading them so that they can still have the weight around the jawline where they want to sculpt their face but then rather than having it come to a clean stop like mine

is doing and like most beards do rather than doing that they're kind of fade eting it out on the edges and what this does is a couple things like one it doesn't look like you tried that hard you still look very casual you still look like it happened by accident it it doesn't look like you went and got groomed like that's kind of what people don't want right now they don't want to look like they're going and sitting in the salon or sitting in the barber shop they just want to look like they just happen

but the other thing it does is it grows back really nicely if you put a clean hard line on something then in 2 days it's not a clean hard line anymore in fact it looks like what was a clean hard line and now it's got stubble next to it and so something really pristine like that with a with a crisp sharp line requires a lot of upkeep to keep it that way and I think these days maybe call it like an economic thing people don't want to be in the chair as often so they want

me to maintain their beard in a way that if they don't touch it for 3 or 4 weeks it grows out gradually in a way that you don't notice it growing out it just takes longer to notice that it's growing back and that's been a massive request for facial hair lately and the other one way surprising to me I've got a lot of clients who have really scraggly patchy thin facial hair and they won't let me touch it I'm like dude I could just like take that down for you and they're like no no no

I like it it's cool it's like almost like Mr Miagi status and I guess it's a thing I thought at first it was like oh this one guy is just weird he doesn't want me to touch his scraggly Little Beard but I've had it happen enough times now where I'm like I think kids kind of like looking like that I don't know if it's a thing but it might be because it's been coming up a lot lately and I'm like please let me just like clean it for you a little I would say with beards

again I'm not a super beard expert it is very similar to a haircut you know on your head everybody has a round head and what a haircut is meant to do is sculp that round head to look a little bit more Square that's kind of the classic traditional route but ultimately you're trying to emphasize certain bones and C certain features and certain structures there are like angles on the head that we lowkey kind of are like oh that's that's like an attractive angle there like we don't don't think it actively like that but there are

certain haircuts that'll just build up on the natural curves to emphasize what's happening there and a beard is no different almost across the board my clients who do wear a beard they want to have the chin slightly longer than the rest and so even if it's pretty short like mine is we're sculpting it so like mine's a two here tapered into my hair out here I don't use a guard for this I pick it out just kind of sculpt it people don't want to just put a guard on and drive it over their entire beard

they still want it to have shape but they don't want it to have Hard clean lines next question where do you see men's hair trends going I'm getting a lot of people who want to see the back from the front I had a guy actually bring me a picture of Tim Allen's mug shot and he was like dead serious and I was like all right cool I'm into it that was like very 1970s and those kind of looks are are really coming in when a client will tell me like I want it kind of Fuller

on the sides and flowing back I go okay so what about in the back like do you want it kind of heavy there or do you want it to kind of like real Slim and taper to the Head more often than not they wanted it to slim down in the back they wanted it to have like like a big shape here and then get Slimmer and Tighter near the nape and these days I'd say like 60% of the time they're like yeah let's leave it heavy let's see what happens I think it looks cool I

think it's refreshing it's definitely becoming more popular I'm getting more and more requests for that kind of look another thing that's becoming popular is as I said the layers on long hair and it's a very similar vibe to this American Psycho haircut what I've noticed throughout all of my years is every time there's one popular hairstyle there's another one that's almost like it but grown out version of it and so when everybody was doing like the slick back with the shaved sides if that grows out a little bit like if you just don't cut the

top for a while and you keep shaving the sides then eventually that's the top knot those two things kind of go hand inand because the Slick flat grows into the top knot so similarly this American Psycho haircut if you don't cut it for 3 or 4 months it just turns into long layered hair and long layered hair incidentally is also popular and so they kind of go hand inand in that way I would say overall where men's hair is going is people are a lot less afraid of their natural texture I think for a good

decade there I mean I literally Built My Career off of teaching dudes how to blow dry their hair straight dudes would come in and it didn't matter if the hair was Curly or wavy or whatever they all wanted to leave with like this straight smooth slick black hair but now my clients with wavy hair want to wear it wavy my clients with curly hair want to wear it curly and it's very very refreshing and what's fun about it is it means that the haircut that's going to work for you is different from the haircut that's

going to work for the guy with different texture to where it used to be more like everybody get this haircut and if you're you don't have the right hair type just permit or blow dry it out and then you can have that hair type I'm getting a lot more people who are like what works for my hair what does my hair do it's really really fun for me to be able to say this there's not one haircut that I'm doing all day long here it's a different haircut for every client but the overarching theme across

almost all of them is they want to work with their natural texture they want to put very little effort into styling and they want to get it cut very infrequently they want it to look uncut because they want it to maintain this Perpetual state of I didn't get a haircut because I don't know maybe it's not cool to look like you try hard I mean maybe it's as simple as that the final question that I have here says how are people styling their hair and what products are they using most what's most popular right now

this week alone comes to mind because I'm just finishing it off today I've had a lot of clients using sea salt sprays when you have longer hair you want to kind of avoid very heavy product I mean unless you're going for that like heavy wet greasy hair look but the longer your hair gets the more your hair needs to move and if you're putting heavy products in there it's not going to move very freely so I get a lot of clients who use sea salt spray which basically makes the hair feel a little bit sticky

like it kind of sticks to itself just a tiny bit just a a little itty bit and the reason that you like that is if you take like an individual hair like one hair and you hold it up it's going to fall down under its own weight but if you take all your hairs and you go Hey guys you're all little tiny bit sticky and you go like this and and rub them together they stick to each other and the hair will just hold these shape and so when you see a video of a guy

like running his fingers through his hair and it's like momentarily holding these perfect hairstyles you kind of get that with something softer and lighter like a sea salt spray another thing that kind of came out of nowhere and really got popular recently in my chair is dry shampoo I'll go back to what I've been saying about low maintenance hair being popular a lot of guys are finding you know it's funny cuz if you ask your girlfriend or your mom or any woman in your life like hey when does your hair look the best they tend

to know that their hair looks better the second day after they wash it but guys are like kind of just figuring this out that when you wash your hair it looks really fluffy and poofy and it's like kind of big and so I've had a lot of clients over the years who are like yeah after I shampoo my hair I have to wear a beanie half a day before it looks right so now what they're figuring out is that they just don't shampoo their hair for a couple days it starts to look better and better

so there's almost like a life cycle of your style from shampoo to shampoo where it actually will get better and better as it gets lived in and touched and moved and as you go out and go running and go to the gym and live your life and and do your things your hair will kind of fall apart naturally and it'll have a very natural look because nature is happening and it'll look better and better until one day it starts looking worse and you're like oh my God my hair looks filthy now for some people this

is 2 days out for some people this is 2 weeks out it's a little bit different for everybody but what happens when your hair starts to look a little bit grimy and greasy you grab dry shampoo now this is by Evo it's called water killer I'm not affiliated with them this is just something we use in my salon I sell so many of these so what you do with the dry shampoo is when your hair is looking oily particularly at the roots you you'll part the hair in different places and so like you'll part it

here you'll take this and spray it on your roots and it smells so good so you spray it on your roots all over your head and so you like spray it here and then you part it there you spray it here you part it there so you just have this dry shampoo it's like a powder suspended in there you have it sitting on your scalp and then you want to let it sit in there for 2 whole minutes and what it's doing is the powder is absorbing all the oil off your scalp and after about

not about exactly 2 minutes like put a timer on your phone wait 2 minutes but after 2 minutes take cold air with your hair dry and just shake your hair out and blow dry all the excess product out if you don't do that your hair will look chalky you'll have powder in your hair once you blow dry out the excess product the hair is like renewed it's like ungreasy it's like mattified but I actually use it not even just for the purposes of dirty hair I use it as a styling product if I have somebody

with longer hair and it keeps falling flat if I hit the roots with this and I do the routine I just mentioned it'll actually give it a real good bump at the roots there's a bonus thing too for um those of you who are thinning a little bit like I am these products typically a dry shampoo is like a white powder and it'll make your hair look real chalky but some of them like this one in particular comes in a brunette or a dark um version so what this will do is actually match the color

of your hair or cover up your scalp if you need it to I know some guys use hair fibers and powders and things like that but a lot of my clients are like wo wo I'm not ready to do that and I'm like no no no dude it's just dry shampoo you're just using dry shampoo and they're like oh okay I can use dry shampoo so that one was kind of a sleeper product that I didn't see getting popular another one that comes and goes a lot this product is like it gets really popular and

then people forget and then it gets really popular and then people forget is like a styling powder like a texturizing powder and the thing about these is they're very different and so when people see them for the first time they go oh wao I never even knew a powder like that could exist like picture like parmesan cheese like you're eating spaghetti except you sprinkle it on your hair and it makes the hair feel so gritty and so like rough it's crazy what it makes the hair feel like but what I've experienced in my clientele when

I've started pushing that before and and playing with it is people will get it and then they go overboard with it it's really easy to use too much and when you use too much your hair will actually feel kind of brittle I don't know that it will actually break the hair but the feeling of it is like it gets so dry and crunchy feeling that you're like oh man and you can't get a comb through it and essentially like if you want to get dreads for the day like put that in your hair and then

go like this you'll have dreads for the day so styling powders are really interesting and different and they they are quite popular it's almost across the board if I use that on a client they go wo that's different I want to buy it but I want to say more often than not after they use it a couple times they tend to overuse it and then they go oh I'm not about that but you know if you're careful with it and you use it properly you should be fine and I think yeah that was my last

question thank you again on point fresh for giving me the opportunity to be here I really appreciate this have me back anytime I'm all yours if you have any questions if there's anything I can do for you thanks for watching
