Balding man goes to barbers and looks '30 years younger' after 'miracle' haircut

Haircuts can make or break how you look.

While it may not seem like a big deal to maintain your locks, booking in at the salon or barbers can shave years off your appearance. And this was definitely the case for one man, who had a life-changing cut recently.

The unnamed man, who starred in an Instagram video posted by K-Luk Cuts, was struggling to hide the thinning hair on the top of his head. In an attempt to cover up the balding, he started growing out his tresses during the pandemic.

He attempted to sweep it over the patchiness to get more coverage – but didn't quite achieve the effect he was hoping for. Thankfully though, K-Luk had just the solution.

With the customer sitting in his chair, the barber suggested: "Definitely change it up, bro, because your hair is so long, it really exposes the thinning on top. We definitely need to take it shorter. We'll do something that complements your natural growth pattern in the back. It's kind of like a natural and then you can swoop it over a little bit, keeping it a little short."

The chap agreed to put his faith in the expert – and it definitely paid off. He was given a short back and sides and the longer pieces of hair on top were styled to cover the thinning hair.

The finished results were revealed at the end of the video, which garnered more than 580,000 likes. And it safe to say people were gobsmacked by how great everything turned out!

One gushed: "I didn’t believe in miracles until now." Another said: "Life changing. Hair is men’s make-up." Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "Omg!!!!! Love it!!! Hope it gave him a new level of confidence!!!"

Others insisted the simple change had made the bloke age backwards. A viewer said: "He looks 30 years younger," while another joked: "I thought you were a barber, not a magician."
