Has your dad always had the same haircut?

No. Sometimes his hair is longer and sometimes his hair is shorter. He got it put in cornrows once when he went to Brazil.

Same haircut, different moustache.

Rev, your dad is clearly shaking things up there. Mine has always had short, neat hair. Has experimented with moustaches, but basically his hair might as well not bother growing at all.

xp- ooh, snap!

varied beard, clean shaven and moustache

hair receded p. rapidly so it went from '70's long to short all round fairly quickly in the late 80's iirc.

Damn baldies be ruining a good hypothesis - xp

damn hereditary baldness be ruining a lot more than that for some of us tbh

Yeah, it can make an awful mess on the sofa.

my dad has had a variety of different haircuts. Usually it's fairly short and parted, but has been short and also at times fairly long. Before i was born, between his late teens to early 20s, it was shoulder-length, because it was the 1970s.

I think my mom always cuts my dad's hair and she only knows how to cut it one way so

My dad had a baldness horseshoe from the time I was born. I have no memories of my father with hair atop his head apart from his senior class photo. He always had some kind of beard from about 1980 onwards (apart from, I think, a couple of times where my sister and I DEMANDED he shave it off) and over the years got closer to a look I call the Paddy Phil Mitchell when speaking to Britishers (my dad was easily spotted as Irish-American looks-wise), or Mr Clean with all-over stubble.

My dad suffered a variety of haircuts during my childhood, as his long hippie-hair was tidied up for several corporate jobs and then left to grow out as whatever computer giant had employed him got used to his hippie ways. It was an eternal battle throughout my teenage years, of my mum showing my dad pictures that proved that even Keith Richards had cut his hair and trying to get him to do the same. When he finally left my mum, he moved to California and resolved never to ever get his hair cut again. And to his great credit, he has succeeded.

So my dad's hair was changing all the time when I was growing up. And looking back, you could usually tell how happy he was in his job, life, etc. by how far past his collar his hair had got.

That's a nice story! I'm glad he has broken free of the barbers.

My dad has had relatively close-cropped, curly hair ever since I was a kid. I made him grow a beard in the mid 80s at one point, but mostly it's been the same hairdo.

When I first started dating my son's mother, I had short hair that was badly receding. When we got serious, she made me bic it, to the child's disapproval. He'¡ been bugging me about it since. On our way to the courthouse for the adoption ceremony, he said "I wish I had a daddy with hair."

awwwwwwwwww and lol

Nope. After spending 26 years in the Army, where he was required to keep his hair short and was allowed only to grow a mustache, he began wearing it longer (not long, mind you, but longer) and grew a goatee.

My dad has had the same haircut pretty much his entire life tbh although it got a bit shaggy in the 70s for a while. When I was younger he had a big full beard but he shaved that off years ago. When he did my Mom cried because he looked so different. He's always had a mustache.

I have never seen my father with facial hair. Apparently he had a mustache in the very early 70s (I've seen pics) but I have no memory of it. None of the men in my family have facial hair - apparently this is because it sprouts bright orange on them, regardless of head hair colour.

I just spent a couple mins there thinking about how it's kind of weird that I've never seen my dad without some sort of facial hair. I think I'd be really freaked out if he got rid of the stache tbh.

dad had a close cropped beard from when i was v young to maybe about 15-6, turned up after a fishing trip (he'd be away 6-7 weeks at a time working on the boats) without it and it was awkward as anything for the first few days.

he looked old

haven't seen my dad for sixteen years but I dare say he's rocking a total slaphead these days

it's gotten a little bit longer and shorter, but always the same side part
same barber for my entire lifetime as well

comically, my dad has since given it up, but he used to blow dry his hair every day and also use hair spray. i thought every dad did this, but i was wrong.

in the 80s, my whole family would share a bottle of white rain extra hold hair spray on vacations. me, mom, dad. hair spray.

slaphead?

Same haircut, same glasses. Entire life.

wait no, he was cremated, that doesn't work

same haircut. occasionally he'll let his beard grow out, then get sad about how gray it is and shave it.

Hair has always been pretty much the same, just gradually less of it. He's grown a goatee a few times, though.

Yes, but now it is grey. And he has a 70s mullet in my parents' wedding photos.

Not really considered ever changing my own hair, but I think maybe I would like to surprise my kids by coming home from work one day with a big bushy beard.

that's kinda tough to do if you come home from work every day, tbf

Gotta go that extra mile for your own kids imo.

t/s 'going that extra mile' vs 'growing 5mm of beard in a day for shock value' i dunno

did anyone's dad ever rock the man perm?

my dad' hair has always been the same, barring experiments w/ sideburns in the 70s

dads differ in this regard

my dad has always had big curly hair.

Many, many xposts- "slaphead" = bald. It's a Britishish thing, I think.

I've seen pictures of my dad from the 70s with collar-length shaggy hair, but while it's gotten shorter and grayer as he got more respectable/established/old/etc (and now that he's 60, there's a little bald spot starting at the crown), the goatee has been a constant. Apparently he went without it for a very brief period when I was little, but I have no memory of this. I literally cannot imagine what he would look like without it.

I drew a pic of my dad for father's day...I think he has looked exactly like this since the mid-'70s.

I remember one of the biggest arguments my parents ever had was about my dad's moustache. There was a rumor they might not let men into the temple if they wore a moustache, and my dad got all cowboy and said he'd refuse to shave it. This gets more confusing when you know that apparently my mom had a revelation from God (before she met my dad) that her future husband would be 27, have a moustache, and have first & last name of the same initial. "If God didn't want people with moustaches in the temple, why did He tell you to marry one?"

my dad just turned 60 and has recently taken to growing his hair out longer than it's been in decades, and it's really NAGL

YES. A combover. Started going greyer in the last 10 years but cut is exactly the same as when I was born.

He used to have a full beard though. Shaved it off when I was about 6.

abbott's dad taking a stand vs god is p awesome

but yeah he has kept hair the same for the most part since i was a kid. though in the 70's he let it grow a bit and grew his sideburns of course. and there was the time he had that kenny rogers beard...

My dad went through several iterations of pimp hair before settling on his current professorial look.

Cool photo Scott! But now I wanna see the Perry pimp hair.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

my dad (d. 1992) always had a Navy crewcut, and if I got one I'd pretty much look like him.

My was 50 when I was born and had been bald for at least fifteen years by then. There's one picture I have of him taken when he was 17 or 18 and he looks like Avalon-era Bryan Ferry (complete with the hair)
