DH has had an awful hair cut.

The guy I’m dating has hair like that, I love it as it looks styled now instead of just a big bush.

I was going to say. It sounds like the haircut teenagers have. Even other teenagers make fun of them!

Mr Monkey once accentually got a mullet a day before we went on holiday. I made him go back and get it re cut.

As a man can I ask was this his usual barber or someone different. I say this because, and whilst I don't have hair now and cut my own, I have had some truly dreadful haircuts. Not all barbers are the same.

There was a comedian who pointed out that a woman can go to the hairdresser's and say "I'm not really sure, what do you think" and come out with a fantastic cut and style. A man does this and the barber thinks he's a fucking idiot and gives him an idiots haircut.

did it really feel it was a difficult year becasue of that?

ah thats sweet

yes and all the men round here under 30 have Benson Boone moustaches

DH shaved his head once. I hated it.

The thing is, if I had my hair cut and it was my choice of haircut, and I liked it, I would politely invite him to do one if he complained about it, so I kept my mouth shut and when it grew back in I praised that look to the skies and made it very clear that I love it when he has hair. Any hair 😁 Not the aforementioned 'I ordered Phil Mitchell from Temu' look... Last time he had his hair cut he came home and said 'I got them to leave it a bit longer on top because I know you prefer it'.

About 5 years into our relationship, we were on holiday in Cornwall and my DP went to the shower. He just randomly decided to shave off his beard and moustache!

When he walked back in, I screamed as I didn’t recognise him at all. He honestly looked so different and I was horrified that he had a weird bum chin I had never seen before

It took a long time to get used to it and I just wanted him to grow it back. He did, but it was a difficult year and it really threw me. I know that sounds really shallow but a complete change of how someone looks is weird.

We were married for 40 years before he died though, so I did get used to it, and so will you. You might want to buy him a woolly hat, so his ears don’t get cold and you can’t see it 😊

Im a terrible person Id have said, bloody hell what have you done 😂
My ex husband once suddenly decided to shave his beard and moustache off. Id never seen him without either in 20 years, he's a big hairy biker. He looked like a giant baby, absolutely repellant. I avoided him until it grew back. I never could get that image out of my head after that.

I mean, he can't change it now so there's not much point in saying anything.

My dad who was a bit careful with money found a really cheap barber. My mother didn't waste her Irish accent on criticising his haircut. She just refused to be seen in public with him till the worst of it grew out and forbade him to use the same barber again.

Tell him to have a little grow up

A 'creative', no job and shit hair? Let's hope he's a really nice person and great in bed or he's not really got a lot going for him by the sounds of it.

You're allowed to hate his hair OP, you don't have to be some kind of fake inauthentic people pleaser and pretend it's great. If he asks just tell him it's not your taste - although by the sounds of it he won't need to ask 😂.

Does he like it?

You could try what my Mum said after my Dad got a bad haircut. "Dear God, it looks like a donkey ate it". It has added impact in an Irish accent.

If you think it's bad at 38 my brother has this haircut in his sixties!! I didn't think anyone who had a mullet first time round would do it again. 🙈

My approach would be to mercilessly take the piss. “Oh look, it’s Henry from Neighbours” etc

Is it like the poodle haircuts that teenage boys seem to have now?

Maybe all relationships are different, but I've not kept a hairstyle my DH didn't like, despite compliments from other family members and I'd expect the same from my DH.

It’s only hair. Keep repeating. I’ve been teaching all boys for over 30 years and my DS currently has a mullet so I have cause to remind myself of this mantra regularly.

At the end of the day it's his hair so his choice

It's a trend and it'll blow over and he'll have a different haircut in the future.
So many awful men's haircuts around at the moment which are in fashion but look terrible.
At the end of the day it's his hair though and he can do what he likes with it.

Does your DH have a sister? We can be very blunt! I once told my brother that his haircut made him look like the North Korean dictator.

Oh god, so many truly cringe haircuts for men now.. shaved sides, dead cat on top. Appalling. Wtf is wrong with them? Can’t they see in the mirror they look like neglected nineteenth century orphans?!

Would you think it ok for him to be 'annoyed' about your new haircut?

There's nothing you can do about it. Either he gets another haircut that you might also hate or you wait.

But yeah it won't grow back evenly at all. But then no haircut does on men? Except a skinhead. Even then it doesn't because of how the follicles are. Or if it was a straight across trim on long hair.
