Hairstyles for a 61 yr old man

Ooooooh, this is going to be good.

Anyway, this is a 61 year old man, I think the common consensus is that he's not too shabby, so get hair like his:

I won't deny it, that picture was bigger than I was expecting

Combover surely

Surely a mullet?

Hmmm

I grew a beard in the hope i could imitate the silver fox look. I was told I looked like a mangy badger

or there's

Actually, take your pick:

it wouldn’t get long enough to go into a proper pony tail

Don't, for the love of all that is holy, be a 61 year old man with a pony tail.

I think Martin Kemp does a good job of embracing his inner silver fox

Being "coot bald" I guess it's one issue I won't need to resolve.

Pony tail you say

Does it matter? Just get "a trim".

Gave up having a hairstyle during lockdown. Bought some trimmers and give myself a no.2 (6mm) all over every couple of weeks. Saves a fortune and everyone reckons it looks better so win win. 62 by the way.

If you have a full head of hair over 50 you owe it To other men folk to do a Clooney and display it like a pea cock

The only time a ponytail looks good is above a horse's arse. 61 and just going grey now, lucky thing.

The only time a ponytail looks good is above a horse’s arse.

I disagree, there are many, many people of any gender with ponytails that look great with them. None, or at best very, very, very few, of these people are 61 year old men.

Yes, man bun is the way to go here

The only time a ponytail looks good is above a horse’s arse

You think horse’s arses look good?

I always think the first question to ask yourself is how much effort you are willing to put in- that George Clooney hair cut is, obviously, very handsome but can you be arsed with the grooming? Or do you want to roll our of bed and head straight out?

"Going grey".Thought it was a bit more advanced than that jeremy!

Trimmers.

7mm up the sides and back. 12mm over the top.

"whats an appropriate hairstyle for a 61 year old man?"

No one will care, you're a 61-year-old man 😉

FWIW, even if I had hair, I would still shave it off - who can be arsed with having to "groom" every day!

Trimmers.

7mm up the sides and back. 12mm over the top.

done that for most of the last 30 years. I'm bored of it and also want to rub the slapheads noses in my luxurient locks. vain? Moi?

I have an appointment with a posh hairdresser tomorrow.

I'd go "Full Rylan" in that case.  Crack out the grecian 2000 and get yourself a douche beard.  Teeth done and job-jobbed.

🙂

Any chance of a live web cam in this hairdressers?

Go full Kanye and change your name to Je

Go full Kanye and change your name to Je

And start posting controversial opinions on social media....oh.

Ponytail? NO!
No. 2 up the back and sides blending into longer on top, choose a side parting, left or right and a bit of “product” to keep it in place. It costs me £12.50 and the lovely woman even trims my ear hair! Mind you your hair does look a bit coarse for styling..

Mohawk !

APF

I vote for a Micheal Fabricant bouffant.

Anything you like, there are no rules. If you've got the hair, go Keanu Reeves or Ethan Hawke.

61. Loads of hair. "Going" grey.

Is there a portrait of you in an attic somewhere, TJ?

@matt_outandabout That’s the one that I want.

I'm getting strong Brian May meets Don King vibes

How about 70s Brian Eno?

LOLZ

None of you slap heads mentioned humble brag yet?

I’ve always thought you look a bit Bronsonesque so…

Or

Mohawk?

There's an unwritten deeply sexual language to it.

Go to a hairdresser and get a professional opinion

Pick a member of Status Quo randomly, take a photo of them to the barber and ask for “that one please”.

Alternatively, something shorter on the sides and longer on top, lay it down neatly on one side with a tiny bit of product and enjoy espresso in picturesque locations.

That’s the one that I want.

👏👏

Dreadlocks ?.

Just careful not to get them caught in the chain when cleaning it.

I have an appointment tomorrow.

Whatever it ends up being I want longish hair 🙂 Decades of buzzcuts and Im bored of them

You can’t go to a hairdresser and get longish hair unless you’re having extensions, growing hair takes time.

its about 5 months since I had a cut so it needs something doing to it.

How about the Boris Johnson look?

You could embrace a style icon..

Remington trimmer with a 2.5mm comb attachment, five minutes going over once a week. It’s what I do. I used to get the barber down the road to do it, £10 once a month until lockdown, when I faced up to the inevitable and just took the lot off with my beard trimmer. It wasn’t that long, but it was such a waste of time and particularly money trying to keep what little I had in some sort of style. I’m 68, and realised I ought to have done it a long time ago.

TJ, are you going to show us your Lionel Blair bouffant precut?

Dreads with a shirt. Nothing says 'social worker' more than that 🤣

Lets see a before and after..

Then we can hair shame you back to a buzz cut.. its the STW way

Its for your own good.

How about a “Flock of Seagulls” cut?

Show of hands for the before and after pics? ✋

We _need_ a before and after.

✋

Which style will fit in best with helmet use?

Isn’t this a bit of a philosophical question along the lines of a tree falling in a forest - if a 61 year old man changes his hairstyle does anyone notice?

It’s a Clooney or Kemp that gets my vote. Be under no illusions though I went with Clooney and despite being 10 years younger, when I bumped into him in Henley once he very much remained the good looking one.

Aye, true that. You wouldn't put a Waring and Gillow top on an ikea bench

Looks like a Deacon Blue tribute act.

What about copying Sheffield's finest of fine dandies?

There can be only one hairstyle!

I give you the llama:

just ask for a goblin'

just ask for a goblin’

😮
They never used to offer that when I used to go to the hairdressers!

Eventually had to get my haircut last week, too much of it to fit inside my swimming cap.

I've went for a medium length undercut, still long enough on top for the natural curls to roam free!

You look like Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Is there a portrait of you in an attic somewhere, TJ?

No. He still looks pretty old, just with hair.

Man Bun?
Boris "messy look" Johnson?

I'm 51 and still have a full head of hair!! Yaaay!, but over the years i have notice my forehead becoming more pronounced. Not quite the tefal head yet but....
I just ask for 2 on sides and back and short & messy on top
