A man's visit to the barber has gone viral after a dramatic haircut left him looking like a completely different person, with onlookers claiming he appeared to have aged backwards by a decade.
The Dramatic Before and After
Hairdresser Diego Avila shared the transformation video, explaining that his client arrived with a receding hairline which created a more prominent forehead. "The best haircut I suggested for his bad hairline was a messy textured fringe with faded sides," Avila stated in his social media caption.
The client's specific request was for the barber to give him "10 years back". The footage first showed the extent of the hair loss, with Avila brushing the hair back to reveal a receded hairline on both the left and right sides, forming a central peak on the forehead.
A New Look Unveiled
The video then cut to the stunning result. After the cut and styling, and with his glasses removed, the client sported a messy, textured fringe that swept neatly across his forehead, expertly concealing the receded hairline.
Avila had worked with the man's naturally curly hair, likely using techniques like diffusing and specific products to enhance the texture and volume. The delighted client couldn't help but laugh while posing for the camera, clearly thrilled with his new appearance.
Public Reaction and Styling Tips for Curly Hair
The response online was overwhelmingly positive. One commenter exclaimed, "Imagine being this handsome and never knowing until you find the right barber!!!!!!!! Life is crazy." Another observed, "I now understand how deeply rooted men's relationship is with their barber... he took more than 10 years off."
While a handful of viewers criticised the typical format of such transformation videos, the consensus was that the gentleman looked vastly improved.
For men with similar curly hair, proper care is essential to maintain such a look. Curly hair is often drier and more prone to frizz, requiring extra moisture. Key tips include:
- Using a leave-in conditioner to hydrate and define curls.
- Styling with a diffuser attachment on a hairdryer to dry hair gently without causing frizz.
- Applying suitable styling products to enhance natural texture and hold.
This level of care helps boost volume, reduce frizz, and ensure curls look their healthiest, much like the impressive finish achieved by Diego Avila for his now-beaming client.
