There are lots of hairdressers who typically treat women's hair who could do it; not the exact technique of old perhaps, but a modern treatment. They'd just need to familiarize themselves with men's cuts. The bigger problem, I think, would be getting your average man to be secure enough to step into a "women's" salon... until hairdressers in more "manly" places begin to take up the technique again.

I'm not certain if they can be called true Marcels, but when I look at vintage photos, I think that heavy pomade, deep sculpted wave look some white guys adopted from, say, the mid-1800s through the early 1960s could be fun if it came back. So many Abercrombie types slather their hair with product anyway -- it'd be cool to see them use it toward something retro-suave instead of spiky and punkish. 
Of course they'd need training, as clearly the trend could get out of hand  ...
 A lot of men who wore their hair that way didn't have to have it "done." I have photos of my grandfather with his hair like that. He had naturally curly hair, so all he needed was a dab of pomade.  Of course. My dad's hair was the same way. Considering those men, I suppose what I'd like to see would be the perfectly tapered cuts and precisely combed, almost sculpted, waves up top.

If men who practice good grooming are pansies, I guess my guy is "just gay enough." We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I'm sure they braided their armpit hair or something "...and If all of this Love Talk ends with Prince getting married to someone other than me, all I would like to do is give Prince a life size Purple Fabric Cloud Guitar that I made from a vintage bedspread that I used as a Christmas Tree Skirt."

Don't feel bad, on post #34 I simply said he looked like my Dad, rather they had the same hair. He was not my Dad.  | |

The picture of the man simply looks like my Dad, when I was growing up. The fact he was a drunk was his own doing. I am sorry I brought it up. But sometimes I feel it theurapeutic, to remind myself who he was. | |

My Father had this hair exactly, when I was growing up. This guy in my music theory class wears his hair like that "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

Why all the hatred for the mustache only look? It is a style that must return.
As a disclaimer, I would never wear it due to the fact that I can't stand having the slightest amount of facial hair. I abdicated the throne in Ithaca, but now I am...

One that I hope never returns is the fanny pack look that was big for about a week in 1991 or some year around then. I abdicated the throne in Ithaca, but now I am...
