I bet you didn’t know how much you were helping my marriage. Remember that time we discussed how much my husband pees on the floor? Guess what? He moderately cleaned up his act and his pee streams. Hooray for passive aggressive internet shaming! But our work is not complete. We have another battle to fight America.
But let’s back up.
I feel like it’s our job as women and wives to make our men look like functioning members of society. I mean, lets face it, when we start dating you boys, it was our job to get you out of the “That’s What She Said” t-shirt and camo cargo shorts you wear FOR WORK and into some flat front pants and a damn polo. You’d think getting dressed for a man was straight up Brain Science. Then, after a few years, if we’re lucky, we finally wear them down to appropriately clothing their bodies. But if you’re like me, there is one battle you just can’t win.
THE HAIR.
My husband is a fairly low key guy. He doesn’t buy fancy clothes or shoes and just asked me if our living room rug was from J.Crew. But, jesusonabagel, does this man care about his hair. He will spend more on a haircut than I will (although I just found out that they serve beer there), he’s never happy with the result (maybe stop getting drunk when you get a haircut), he puts 6oz of product in his hair daily and then finishes it off with a helmet of spray. I’m assuming the spray helmet is for safety?? If I get too close to the man helmet, I am swatted away like a malaria fly.
All I’m trying to do is help the guy. Trust me when I tell you that he is way WAY too good looking to be strapping on his safety hair every day. See, women spend approximately 3 cumulative years of their lives reading about, learning about, talking about and watching hair. We know our shit. We know about salt spray, texturizers, glazes, Moroccan oil and dry shampoo. Men think that the world of hair begins and ends at a tube of “LA Looks” gel.
So you would think that when a man lives with such a valuable wealth of hair knowledge, he would tap into that resource for his own benefit. You would be wrong. My husband says, “you don’t know WHAT you’re talking about”. Oh really B? It’s time to end that.
We’re going to look at 2 pictures of my husband and YOU are going to VOTE on which is a better look and with a brief description of why you feel that way. I’ve discussed this with my husband and he agrees that the winning vote will be his look going forward.
THIS IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF POWER YOU ARE HOLDING IN YOUR HANDS INTERNET. DON’T EFF IT UP.
Be honest. A man’s future and the stock value at “LA Looks” depends on you.
About Amanda MODG
i think if he goes with #1 he should grow it longer…go for the Smith Jarod look
Personally, I absolutely love the second (slick) look best on guys who can pull it off and your husband clearly can. He looks handsome, trendy without trying too hard and all around clean and fresh – someone you want to stand near not run in the opposite direction from.
Look #2 definitely. He has his golden years to look like an older man. Let him have these years to look like a younger man. I actually appreciate when men spend some time on their looks. I also have a lotta hair but I feel the best about myself when I spend some time on it. That’s probably why he does it, to feel good about himself. As he should because he looks great.
look #1. Makes him look younger (that ought to do it…)
Can I say neither? I think the first look is better, but needs to be either shorter or longer. It’s in an odd middle stage. Both looks are a little ’80s especially the second look- very Wall Street. It’s a shame because your husband is very handsome!! He needs to sit down with a stylist, look through a hair book, and find a style that is modern and will work with his face shape. Good luck!!
omg! #1! #1! #1!
when i look at #2 i just want to take grab a handful to feel the crunch.
No. 1 – definitely… But I would agree that it’s in the odd middle stage and needs to be shorter or longer… #2 is too “I tried real hard to look this good”…
#1 definitely!!! Trust me, I’m a hairstylist, I know my shit. It just needs to be either shorter or longer. And if he put a little texturizer o
Or a pomade it would look awesome. Absolutely hate #2!! Step away from the extreme hold hair gel and spray!!
Honestly, I’m all meh on #1 and all bleh on #2. He looks like Jim Carey in #1…perhaps a bit shorter would fix that??? In #2 he reminds me of either A) A vampire or B) The guy that should be driving one of those old, beater, creep-o vans with no windows. But if I HAVE to vote, than 1 it is. #1 does kinda wanna make you run your hands through his hair to see how thick it really is…bonus points.
Look #!
I’m going to be a total B stalker and say I think he looks pretty hot in both pics. However …I gotta agree with you, the gel needs to go. I vote for #1.
totes #1-he looks much younger and it looks mucho touchable/healthy!
#2-bleh….looks like his head is overdressed for his outfit…he needs to be done up in a greedy lawyer suit
sorry B looks like we women do know best :P
#1 Definately!!!! No Michael Douglas for B please….
Look #1 for sure, but I’m agreeing with others when they say it either should be a little shorter or a little longer..

I’m gonna say a modified #1. Modified meaning a little more tightened up, maybe a leeeetle product for some shine and texture.

Just recently found your blog and CAN’T stop reading!
Handsome hubby needs to go with look #1 but grow it out just a tad more.
Look #2 just makes me think of Eddie Munster. Sorry!
I vote #1. #2 is scaring me.
Twitter Name: ClassyFabSarah
Um, neither? I either like it much longer (no mullet) or waaaaay shorter. The slick look is too much upkeep and it’s slimy when I touch it so hair gel is banned in my house. Ahem. Just sayin’.

Definitely #1….Number 2 looks like he brushes his hair with a pork chop.
#1!!!! His hair in #2 reminds me of the guy from Jackass. Definitely #1!!!!
Okay, mos def #1 but it needs to be shorter or longer. Look #2 makes him look like a guido
Ok, gonna go with #1 here, but I’m not qualified to express such an opinion
Number one.
Look two would be great in a GQ clothing advertisement. Brandon would have lent his support for #2.
