Why??????

i mean this post had tigers and i couldn't even tag it that because i had to use two tags for his hair awfulness. he is a life ruiner.

I didn't even look at the tags yet.. that is tragic.

I usually try to not get riled up over an outfit or hairdo but this is just too much. I'm genuinely wondering what he was thinking here.

Now that I got my first reaction out of the way...

You summed it up nicely already. Each of these things individually are bad but altogether... although for me personally, the creeper stache pushes it over the top to totally irredeemable.

We finally got a "good" pic with De Niro which I wanted for a while and I can't even enjoy it because he looks like a mess. Sigh indeed.

Now I can only hope it gets "fixed" for full Mike and Dave promo (and hopefully not with a buzzcut because I don't think that suits him either). Can I (we?) just have one decent promo tour, please? I thought promo is done to appeal to fans and audiences, not to piss them off.

If I was his groomer (assuming he had one) I'd be embarrassed that I let him walk out looking like that. I don't mind the suit really but everything else is GOD AWFUL

i guess they can only do so much lol.

I'm pretty sure what is ruining the looks is the mustache

yes, definitely lose the creeper facial hair, it never works.

but the hair would work with a different (read: casual) outfit and the suit would work with a different hairstyle. so for me, aside from mustache he needs to style the hair so it isn't just shoved out of his eyes. then he'd look worthy of pictures with his heroes lol.

I'm genuinely trying to understand what he's going for with this look. I want to like it, but I cannot get past that hair, and then the facial hair (reminding me of that creepy pornstache) makes it worse. Usually, I've never been this picky about his look but this is just meh. I love him, but it's like, c'mon zef. I know he can do better than this. Honestly, I didn't have much of a problem with his hair when it was the dirty blonde color. I liked it that way. But the bleached blonde doesn't suit him, imo.

On the plus side, I'm glad to see he reunited with Bobby D. I was hoping for that.

i just hope it changes for next promo. please dear god someone speak to him. or kidnap him and take him to a hairdresser. idc.

Fans have been complaining about his hair since Baywatch and at this point, I think he is trolling everyone. I am just happy he wore this look to the GCAs and not the GG or the Oscars.

he may be trolling. i think he's just lazy, lol.

related: he needs lessons in trolling from my internet gf gillian anderson. she is the ultimate troll.

I don't think laziness is the reason.

For one, he is still shaving. I would totally get if he didn't want to bother and grow a stubble, which I actually like. But no, he is spending the time and effort to shave - just around that creeper stache.

Same with the hair... he's not just too lazy to get it cut (like during the 17 Again promo). He even got it colored which is more effort.

Laziness would have gotten us better results.

I'm going to dissent. I like it. The suit color is right for Zac's skin tone and blends with his hair, the navy blue picks up his eyes without washing him out, and his shoes match his shirt. In fact, his eyes match his shirt match his shoes, and the suit matches his hair. Colton Haynes couldn't have done better, and that's the ultimate compliment.

I think the facial hair may be what's ruining it for you (its okay), and the way he styled his hair. I can see what he's going for - a faux hawk, like Dave Beckham had - maybe the wind blew it or he ran his hair through it (a habit of his). He's gonna need to leave it alone during events. He can play with it on his off-time, stick it up, slant it sideways and other fun stuff.

This: (sorry for the size)

yeah the facial hair has to go first. and you are right, his messing with it (as he is wont to do) definitely made the hair worse.

I think he looks quite dashing mustachioed and in that suit. The hair cut and color are good, too. He just needs a slight trim on top so it doesn't fan out like big bird's feathers on the right side. If the right side looked styled as the left, it'd be handsome perfection.

That bird feather thing (which is really the issue with his hair) is the result of someone messing it up, probably him. In the first few pictures it looks nice, but by the end of the roll it's clear either he or someone else has been playing with it.

The haircut's not the problem.

The more I look at, I don't mind it messed up.

His crazy diet to define muscles for “Baywatch” is making his face to be very thin, it's generating some exagerated comments about him looking like a 300 years old guy, apparently he’s recovering from it, but he doesn’t look 100% recovered yet, I’m suspicious that this is also contributing to the bad looks

Oops. Sorry, my reply was intended for the post.

That said, idt anyone here has an issue with his slimmer face, more likely on the contrary.

We agree on this, Jeezbee. I like the slimmer face. He looks healthier and less bloated. I suspect those complaining are 14 year olds or creepy paederastic types sexually attracted to baby angels. He's finally starting to look like a man and not like a newborn.

"... creepy paederastic types sexually attracted to baby angels"

I can't speak for the paederasts, but as for the creepy ephebophile types, we like 'em post-pubscent but without facial hair.

"but as for the creepy ephebophile types, we like 'em post-pubscent but without facial hair."

Lol. Colton Haynes posted a picture of himself at 14 years old and all I could do was thank God I didn't know him then. A sexy 14 year old disturbs the conscience, and I would have been in a shrinks office asking what's wrong with me. Same thing happened when I saw 17 Again though. I kept wondering if I was a pedophile for finding Zac so hot.

I couldn't resist this morning, so I threw it quickly into Photoshop for 5 minutes:



Looking at the pic, I'm now weeping at the missed opportunity.

that is some great photoshop. now if only he had his natural brown, these pics would've been very nice. *sigh*

Thanks. The "removal" of the stache also makes a big difference imo.

GQ, the highest authority on men's fashion, approves of his hair:

I agree it's a Peak Surf Brah look. In high school, you knew a surfer not by his floral print shirts, but by his skateboard (symbolic surfboard) and this haircut. They all had it, and VW bugs. My first major boyfriend, a surfer dude, had this haircut (I'd post a picture but nostalgia makes me sad).

Come to think of it, he was a shorter, blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy with a round face. Hmmmm...
