Haircut on wheels? Turkish barber goes viral (Video)
Published May 28th, 2025 - 09:58 GMT ALBAWABA - A Turkish barber recently took the internet by storm after a clip of him giving a haircut to a customer while on board a moving motorcycle went viral. The clip in question went viral on social media, sparking widespread concern among locals over security issues and the endangerment of civilians. According to local news outlets, the dangerous incident occurred in Sultangazi, specifically the Cebeci neighborhood. Additionally, the video was captured by a fellow civilian who filmed the barber giving his friend a haircut while trying not to lose balance on the moving motorcycle. Several Turkish social media users questioned the motive behind such a dangerous act, speculating that it was orchestrated to gain traction and views. On the contrary, others criticized the two individuals, calling them slurs for endangering themselves and fellow citizens. A social media user on X (formerly known as Twitter) wrote, "How do they manage to be so stupid and brainless?" Another added, "We are living in the same environment as these people..." © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Men, here's how to find the right moustache for your face shape
Much has been written about finding the right haircut for your face shape. Yet in what will be welcome news to any budding moustache-grower, there is also a tache to suit everyone too – one that can emphasise a strong jawline, disguise a babyish round face or make the most of an angular pair of cheekbones. There's no better time to grow one either, with the upper lips of Hollywood's hot young things – see Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi and Harry Styles – all sporting bristles. And a special shout out to Pedro Pascal's husky moustache, which has been stealing glances in Cannes over the last few days. 'As a barber, I always say a good moustache can really frame the face – but getting it right depends on the shape of yours,' shares Megan McDonnell, senior barber at Well Groomed. 'It's also important to bear in mind the texture of the hair too, as well as maintenance.' McDonnell's top tips include trimming every few days to keep the shape clean, using a little moustache wax to control strays and training it by combing daily. 'A more narrow comb will help with the smallest of hairs and be sure to use a wider thinner blade trimmer to grab hold of those hidden hairs and achieve precise straight lines. I'm a big fan of the BaByliss PRO Lo-Pro FX one skeleton. They take it to that level needed for precision with confidence.' Don't underestimate a good beard oil too, advises Maxwell Oakley, co-founder of barbers Supply91. 'A good beard oil works wonders for keeping the moustache soft and the skin underneath healthy,' he says. 'I recommend our beard oil made in collaboration with Earl of East, crafted with skin-loving, organic ingredients like jojoba and vitamin C.' For Miles Wood-Smith, creative director and master barber of Murdock London, there's a way to make any moustache style suit any face shape. 'I think face shape is obviously a factor in what kind of moustache looks best but it's definitely not the be all and end all,' says Miles Wood-Smith, Creative Director & Master Barber of Murdock London. 'The density and hair type is what makes a moustache. I think what's awesome about this trend is the fact that so many different sizes and types look great on so many different people. Your barber can tailor your moustache to your hair growth and face shape with some time.' Oakley agrees. 'A barber will know what size and style best complement the natural symmetry of your face,' he says. 'When it comes to shape, the only real rule is to maintain good proportions. If you're grooming at home, a useful guideline is that your moustache should sit just above the top of your lip and not extend beyond the corners of your mouth – unless you're intentionally aiming for a handlebar.' Here, barbers share their top tips for finding the one that works for you – whether it's a chevron, a handlebar or a pencil. Oval Danny Dyer, David Beckham Often considered one of the most flattering face shapes, an oval is when your length and width is balanced, with a slightly rounded jawline. Unsurprisingly, most moustaches will suit an oval, which is why the likes of Jake Gyllenhaal, David Beckham and Danny Dyer have all sported such different ones. 'An oval face is considered the most versatile shape when it comes to facial hair,' says Oakley. 'Almost any moustache style suits this balanced face type, from a classic Tom Selleck-esque chevron to a bold handlebar or, a neatly groomed natural look.' Triangular Jacob Elordi, Harry Styles Triangular faces have a wider forehead than their chin, and are characterised by angular features, with Harry Styles being a classic example. 'For triangular face shapes, the key is to balance the narrower lower half of the face by adding softness and width to the upper lip,' says Oakley. 'A natural, medium-thick style works well to offset sharper jawlines. You can also embrace an ultra-thin or pencil moustache here, as these can highlight angular features and accentuate your chin and jawline.' McDonnell meanwhile also suggests fuller styles, like a chevron or a walrus. 'The volume softens strong, angular features and adds a bit of balance. It also needs very little maintenance to keep fullness.' Rectangular Henry Cavill, Pedro Pascal If you've got a long or rectangular face, one which has a high forehead and strong jawline, then it's best to stick to wider styles, says McDonnell. 'They add visual width and stop the face from looking even longer,' she says. 'Removing thinner corners at the end of the moustache gives a better depth of look too.' Oakley also suggests fuller styles: 'It's all about adding width and reducing visual length. Fuller, wider moustaches or a naturally bushy style will help broaden the upper lip area and soften the overall shape.' His top tip? 'It's wise to avoid styles that droop downward, as these can exaggerate the length of the face.' Round Leonardo DiCaprio, Zac Efron A round face is exactly that – with a shorter forehead and rounded jawline. This face shape can handle something a little more masculine and '70s in feel, according to McDonnell, which is great for making a baby face look more grown-up. 'A handlebar or English moustache helps create length and draws the eye down, making the face appear more structured,' she says. 'A refined pointed finish will give it that extra elegance – moustache wax will give you this.' Heart Timothee Chalamet, Henry Goulding News to Timothée Chalamet's ears – his slightly Errol Flynn-esque skinny tache is the one that will suit his heart-shaped face best – a face shape that is typified by a wide forehead, high cheekbones and a pointy chin. 'A neat pencil moustache works best,' shares McDonnell. 'It adds definition without overwhelming a narrow chin or finer features, and it will draw the eye to any dimples too.' Oakley agrees its best to avoid thicker styles: 'A medium-thickness moustache helps create balance,' he explains. 'Overly thick or dramatic styles can overwhelm the delicate proportions here, so it's best to keep it soft and subtly defined.'

15 best hair clippers for a professional buzz cut at home
Whether you're maintaining your fade between barbershop visits or fully embracing the DIY haircut lifestyle, investing in the best hair clippers can make all the difference. With a growing number of men choosing to cut their own hair at home, the demand for high-quality, user-friendly clippers has never been higher. But with so many options on the market, it can be tough to know where to start. Mains-powered 'corded' clippers are a good choice if you're going to be doing a lot of cutting and are looking for longevity, while cordless ones are best if convenience and manoeuvrability are key – look for Lithium-Ion batteries, which tend to be longer-lasting. If achieving graduated fades is important, opt for clippers with taper levers or digital adjusters that allow you to change cutting lengths in minute increments. There are plenty of online tutorials to help hone your trimming skills but in terms of basics, celebrity hairdresser Luke Benson recommends cutting hair when it's dry, combing it through to eliminate tangles and starting on a longer length setting, working your way down, to reduce the risk of mistakes. Who knows, after giving a home cut a go, you may even decide to become a barber yourself. Keep reading for our pick of the best hair clippers around. How we tested When trimming our hair, we looked at how easy the clippers were to use, battery life, design, noise and vibration and, of course, its performance in achieving the desired results. All-round value for money and functionality was crucial too. We tested each hair clipper by trimming our own hair over the course of six months. Key factors we evaluated included cutting performance, battery life, ease of use, and overall durability. We also assessed each model for blade sharpness, motor power, noise level, ease of cleaning and build quality. Bonus points were given to those that included accessories.

I started going bald at 20. I tried every 'snake oil' remedy out there until I learned one simple fact about hair loss. This is the secret that saved me: DAVID ALLEN
Hair loss has a way of creeping up on you. At first, it's a widow's peak, then a slightly wider parting. We all remember the '80s combover - it looks ridiculous but is often a man's last-ditch attempt to cling to to those last few strands - not to mention his youth. Ask any barber and they will tell you customers often ask to leave longer layers to pull forward to reduce the visibility of skin. Even if they don't, it's usually done anyway.
