The kid with the Bulls logo shaved in the back of his head doesn’t belong here. That cut is objectively amazing.

What these guys need is some gorilla glue.
Sorry. Hairdresser for 3 decades plus. Commercial do’s descend from trend setters, who descend from avante garde, which are born of fantasy and . . .freaks. We mainstream some weird nonsense. Mall bangs? Botox? Faux hawks? The Donald? Give it 50 years and we will all be shaking our heads at the nonsense of the roaring 20’s.

The first one is Tom Holland, no? That must be the wig he has refused to wear for the new spiderman film.

Stuff like this reminds you that even when fashion rules were stricter, their expression was more diverse because they didn’t have the technology for perfect copies. Most of these gentlemen were probably aiming to sport the finest fashion of the day, but if you’ve only seen a couple of photos and etchings, of people with different hair to you, then you can’t help inserting your own creativity into the process.
Today, if you want to be the most stylish guy in West Bumfuck, it’s more about slavishly following global fashions on Instagram; the real unself-conscious experimentation is left to the freaks and geeks.
