question about head shaving

Remmy

ok this may seem like a stupid question but never get the top of my head shaved with a razor but i think i will this time for a change.

I was thinkin a 3 all over or a 4 .when its shaved will it stick up in the air if i get a 3 all over because i want it to lie flat .

would anyone know what blade Rob thomas's hair is in little wonders because i would really like my hair like that .

thanks in advance

Depends on your hair. Mine would stick up. You probably want a blade 2 or less for the "shaved" look.

im not going for the "shaved look" ,i just want to get a razor cut on top and didnt want it top stick up like a tennis ball if i get a 3 all over or something

go to a decent hairdresser

Or else buy a blade machine, start shaving with an 8 and then work your own way down till you like the lenght.

depens if you have fine or thick hair, mines fairly fine and I need to keep it below a 3 or else it sticks up, if you are going to be doing it a lot youll save a packet if you buy a shaver machine thing

hi guys thanks for the replies!

I have quite thick hair,does that mean it would lie flat or stick up?

Well my hair is very thick and I look a dandelion clock after I wash it. (I need gel to calm it down).

Depends how "shaved" you want it to look If you are starting with long hair anything less than a 5 is prob gonna look shaved. If you want to see scalp then 2 or below. 3 is prob the more dignifiied version
Just go for it man, its not as if its not gonna grow back!

3 or 4 might be a little short if you want to do anything with it. Usually a 5 on the top and a 2 on the sides leaves enough room for gel etc. I do a 2 sides/4 top and it takes a few days to grow to a managable length

I use a 4 on top and a 3 back and sides. My hair is pretty thick. It sits up a little just after I wash it, but not fuzzy or anything. Buy your own as you can do most of it yourself and get your significant other or friend etc. to check it's all straight. I started doing that about two years ago and have probably saved a few hundred euro at this stage. Main reason was I had to drive to town, find parking and walk half a mile just to pay the barber 9 or 10 euro to do the same job. It's surprisingly easy to do it yourself.
