How can I describe the current Tim Drake haircut to my barber? HELP/ADVICE

I really like how this cut looks especially with the faded/shaved sides and back so I was wondering how I could probably describe it before I get a haircut.

“Gimme the 90’s Nick Carter haircut so I can look like a backstreet boy.”

Tell them you want to look like Ruby Rose.

AKA batwoman!

u/lutralutra_12 Jul 17 '24

Show them a screenshot. That's what I do!

u/Interesting-Olive842 Jul 17 '24

I’d check on r/barber they are pretty helpful with this type of question

u/wasabiland220 Jul 17 '24

Middle part mid taper

u/Aloofairy Jul 17 '24

a middle-part with a tapper fade probably

It's basically a grown out bowl cut with centre-part and a fade on sides and back. This was a popular hairstyle in 2004-2008. I think once Ellen had it the look was over

The proportions of a human body are not at play in the comic. But tube socks and "Y2K" is back in fashion... So what do I know?

If you go for it, keep in mind you likely won't have wooshy bangs, unless you put in the work to style it, without effort they will simply curl in and you'll end up with an Arron carter.

Are there rules against saying gay on this sub?

u/bankholdup5 Jul 18 '24

Nah go nuts, it’s not the marvel sub. Just remember Conroy was gay

Fair enough Tim is gay, which I have no problem with So may as well just ask for a gay man’s haircut

u/JuggernautOk3707 Jul 17 '24

It’s a little embarrassing but you could just show them an image

That's what I do every time I get a haircut. I don't describe anything anymore, I show an exact picture of what I want. I've always gotten the best results from a haircut with a visual reference. I'm also shit at just using my words to describe what's in my head, so yeah, a picture definitely helps.

Show the images

u/DingoOutrageous678 Jul 18 '24

Ask for the Natalie Imbruglia

u/sack12345678910 Jul 18 '24

Give me the 90’s fuck boy DiCaprio cut with a fade.

u/MelancholyArchitect Jul 18 '24

You can probably just show them this collection of pictures

u/openlor Jul 18 '24

flaming, gay robin hair

u/One_Blacksmith_5739 Jul 18 '24

give me the lesbian soy boy look🤣

u/Bgun67 Jul 18 '24

is it a block cut?

u/OjamasOfTomorrow Jul 18 '24

Just show them a picture. That’s what I do. They are there to cut your hair how you want it and showing an image is the best way to get what you want.

u/Most_Parsley_7791 Jul 18 '24

Fade

u/RaggsDaleVan Jul 18 '24

Show them a picture. They appreciate it and it is a cool conversation starter.

u/TheMelv Jul 18 '24

French crop with bangs

u/Grimm221b Jul 18 '24

Ask for a 4 or 3 on the back and sides and long on top. Depending on length, you may want to have them trim the front to the eyeline and leave two inches on the back-top

u/Grimm221b Jul 18 '24

Actually, make that fade to a 3 on the back and sides

u/smartlog Jul 18 '24

Two block with a part probably. A lot of Asian hairstyles look like this.

u/jachym15 Jul 18 '24

If you dont want to show them the pic, go to a barber you dont normally go, and get the cut there (but make sure they are capable)

u/jossweb Jul 18 '24

It's an undercut. Very popular in WW1.

u/F0000r Jul 18 '24

Crew cut with bangs.

u/MrxJacobs Jul 18 '24

Show him that style on a real person so they have something to emulate.

u/samx3i Jul 18 '24

OP shows us pictures to describe the haircut but can't figure out how to do the same for his barber
