Regardless of its intimate nature, private grooming has come underneath a lot scrutiny this yr. Not since James Deane’s slicked-back locks or Elvis Presley’s pompadour has a coiffure prompted such a collective gasp as Matt Damon’s 2020 mullet, for example. Nor have so many beards been posted to Instagram in a single spin across the solar.
In actual fact, with such a dearth of stylish superstar ‘going out’ ensembles to remark upon this yr, lockdown beards, moustaches and lengthy hair have dominated the headlines way more than say, fits and sun shades.

Zach The Barber from Worcester Barbershop, who has 24.3 thousand followers on Instagram, has continued posting his signature transfer on the platform all yr. That transfer? Wigs that seem like suave undercuts and fades. Straight out of the 18th-century playbook (when wigs have been hotter than Queen Louise of Prussia), if you’ll.
Working example? His newest put up, a video of a person with male sample baldness, who walks in shiny as a bowling ball, and walks out with the kind of ‘do’ a Geordie Shore bro would rock to Spring Break in Miami.
The video reveals the highest of the consumer’s head being shaved to make sure most ‘stick,’ two forms of glue being utilized, a wig being placed on and: growth, a brand new man.
As one commenter places it, “Went from bob to chad actual fast.” On prime of that, huge questions have been requested like, “how lengthy does it lasts with out upkeep?” and “how a lot does it price?”
In keeping with the Motley Crew Barber Co’s web site, this hair substitute service takes roughly 2-3 hours, and lasts between 4-6 months (earlier than you want a brand new “system”).
As for worth? The web site reads: “I cost $750 for the preliminary system set up and haircut.”
One other incessantly requested query – will individuals discover it’s pretend? – was answered too. The barbers declare: “If utilized and maintained accurately, your system will probably be undetectable.”
