Haircuts

[still kicking]

So, all the Guys who still have full hair no matter what age likes to get the hair cut short? I am getting old now, but I still have a full head of hair and getting my hair cut at least once a fortnight by my wife. So, what do you do? I used to have long hair when I was younger, but I found it easiest to cut it short now. Bold head is in fashion now and a beard.

Just ask for your opinion.

I have relative long hair. One of the reasons is to p$%# off all the bold guys. 😉

I only have short hair because it makes it easier, I am not bold 

[josephbloggs]

Why does everyone say "bold"? It's "bald".

Not spelling police, just curious.

[scubascuba3]

I have a no.2 every three weeks, just easier than trying to find a barber who can use scissors, they are scared of scissors

 

 

[seajae]

I get 2 or 3 cuts a year, had long hair until around 15 years ago, even had a pony tail at one stage but here in Thailand I prefer it shorter so once it keeps getting in my eyes I get it cut by my hairdresser, he actually uses scissors and does a great job.

I do same. Costs nothing and the delicate touch of the wife ends up rewarding to both of us later at night.

The issue is not whether spelling police are in play but many people forget that there are plenty of non-native speakers who apart from reasonable English often do not understand slang and abbreviations....including myself.

This reminds me of a colleague fresh off the boat from USA who regularly visited a salon costing 900thb. Everyone at work laughed. “They are great and I get my head and shoulder rubbed too. I pay the same in USA but with no rubbing”. When he learned that for the price he can get rubbing in a lot more places, the penny dropped.

Could be the same reason Americans say 'Color' instead of 'Colour', 'Harbor' instead of 'Harbour' and so on.   Who cares anyway ?

I bought myself a haircutter years ago and like the super short hairstyle as I am on a motorbike wearing a helmet nearly every day. Also it is to hot with much hair on your head! 😄

Nothing whatsoever to do with it, spelling variations still have the same meaning whereas "bold" and "bald" in a certain context are in fact opposites, strong detail or lacking detail.

Suggestion about non native speakers more likely.

Prune juice may help that.

"Bold" and "Bald" are not slang words, neither are they abbreviations.

I was speaking in general, not specifically about bald, bolt belt and bult.

Just had the (roughly) monthly haircut. 100 baht and I give a 20 baht tip. I have joked with the Thai barber that I should only be charged half due to only having half a head of hair. I’m still good except for the back of the head. Thought of getting a Yarmulke or Priest beanie. Wear a hat due to vanity … and would get sunburned on the balding spot.

[Thingamabob]

As with earlier posters my wife cuts my hair. As a result my hair style varies significantly from haircut to haircut. It introduces an element of suspense into what would otherwise be a rather boring exercise.

[Ralf001]

Every two weeks. Skin fade cut @ Faded Barbershop

[statman78]

I get mine cut short about once per month.  Trims the ear hair and eyebrows too all for 80 baht.

[Skeptic7]

I have a good head of hair and haven't had a haircut since December 2019. Always had long hair as a kid and longish during most of my working years. Retired in early 2020 and haven't had even a trim in over 4.5 years. Not ever planning on one either❗

Did you hear about the one legged barber ? He cut hair on crutches.

[bunnydrops]

My hair is about 4 in long. I tried very short but didn't like the look. My hair is unruly and sticks out all over the place if I don't have a little length. I also think having a bit of hair on top protects your head from the sun

[Utalk2mutt]

62 years old (today actually) with a fine head of hair I get the missis to get the razor out and give me a number 2 cut every 5 ish weeks. It’s too damn hot to be carrying this mop and my days of being stylish hair wise have long gone.

Why does everyone say "bold"? It's "bald".
 

"'Lovely to varda yer jolly old eke, Mister Horne."

 

"He's got bona riah, 'ent he, Jules?"

 

"Ooh, Mister Horne?  'Ent he bold?"

 

"Bald, Jules."

 

"Please yourself."

 

"Ooh, I do."
