Sorry, for posting two in a row, but this one's important...
I know i may have sort of asked this question before, but on Saturday i'm gonna get my hair cut, and below is the link to a picture of the cut i want. I have a major problem though! I wouldn't know how to describe it to the barber. It's quite a complicated cut and i'd find it impossible to get across to the barber exactly how i want it. Any help? Should i just take the picture in with me, even though it's shameful? If you were sitting in the chair, what the hell would you say to the barber, knowing full well there's a 50-50 chance he'll screw it up?

I say bring the picture in. And why is the picture shameful? Just wondering. If you don't think you're barber is good enough to do that, find another one. There are plenty of hair stylists that could do that, you just have to find one, and maybe pay some extra dough.
Just to let you know, there is going to be some interpretation with the photo because it is only one view of the cut. Bring it in and find out what the stylist thinks the cut entails and then discuss with the stylist what YOU want.
good luck
No, the picture itself isn't shamful, but actually bringing it into the barber shop is, or so i thought.
Anyway, back to the cut, here is a list of several links to pictures of the cut from different angles. Hope they help with the description:

That isn't a very difficult haircut...
Clippers on the sides and back, like 3 inches on top, and longer in front. Big deal. Its an undercut, long in front. I hope you have straight, soft strong hair and some wax or pomade. Good luck.
Slacker, that's why i was asking you about the beeswax a couple weeks ago. Would you recommend beeswax for this cut or some other product?
My hair is straight...to a certain point before it gets wavy, but i will be using beeswax/pomade and i have a straightening iron too. I suppose my hair is soft, but i'm not too sure about it's strength - why ask?
Two questions there ol' Slacker, myy friend, got the answers?
Beeswax works optimally on that kind of hair..such as Asian hair or very soft, fine blond hair. The closer your hair texture is to that the better it will work although it works on any hair type, unlike gel which does nothing for some hair types unless very short. But unless you have very dark hair or dyed it dark you may not want to use it on dry hair. Thats why I wash over it, my hair is dark blond.
Can't tell anything is in it, very soft.
What is the best cure i could purchase to cure a rather embarrassing bald patch on top of my head? I've heard people say Rogaine, but where do i buy it, and is it costly? What other products could i buy, say, from a pharmacy/chemist? Thanks.
I often see a "styler-dryer" in stores. It is somewhat long, usually sells for about $20. Does anyone know about these? They can be found next to the hair dryers.
The hair style reminds me of when my hair was too short to tie it all into a ponytail. The front part kept falling into my eyes, but the back part often looked short when viewed from the front. Since you asked the question on a long hair discussion board, I suggest to avoid going to the barber. Tie the back part of the hair into a pony tail and maybe hide it in your shirt or roll it up into a bun. I wonder if the person in the pictures has long hair tied back to be hidden from the web camera that took the pictures.
Tne best solution is to bring a picture.
