Curly hair has its kinks (pun intended), but it's one of the better hair textures to have simply because it's so versatile. Yes, it can be difficult to manage and knots easily, but it also has natural volume, movement and texture, making this hair type perfect for styling. Unlike straight hair, which requires a handful of products and potentially professional intervention to style it in a way that doesn't fall limp after a few hours, curly hair also holds a style very well. This means you can wash your hair less and spend less time getting ready in the morning.
Guys with curly hair might be tempted to tame their curls by cutting their hair short in order to make it easier to style, but we're here to convince you otherwise. When a guy grows out his curls, it suddenly transforms their look and becomes the thing they're known for. One can only appreciate the beauty of their curls once they accept and embrace their natural hair texture instead of trying to control it. A good moisturizing conditioner and hair cream is all you need to define and enhance your curls while reducing frizz.
Curly hair is the signature style of so many guys in Hollywood, from Matthew McConaughey's relaxed waves to Bruno Mars' pompadour curls. But whether your hair is tightly coiled or more of a wave, there are a variety of cuts and styles that can bring out the natural texture and allow you to embrace your curls with confidence and panache. Allow this list to show you exactly how cool curly hair can be.
Where is he? Where are you going?
I'm going online.
Oh, that's sick. That's even better.
It's like...shady.
You have a lot of docs on you.
I was like, oh, damn.
Yeah, but it's in Los Angeles.
Oh, nice.
And what is the name of it?
It's called LA Film.
Oh, you're doing film?
No, that's the name of the school.
Oh, yeah. And what is it you're doing?
So, the course I'm taking
is animation online
and then I'm doing character
animation and video.
Cool. I like visual effects
for sure.
Nice.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's it.
Monumental.
Oh, I'm just kidding.
I love it. I'm just kidding.
At first, it's like, Jesus.
That's what's so fun about
these haircuts that he's, you know,
I waited a minute, they come out the best.
Because then you could really see what the barber
can do.
See, I just kind of reduced the weight of his
hair and then I'll start to sculpt this
and I'll have this go into that, that
be curly and hit off and that's
the process that I see.
You know, what's weird about this is
I do
not go by a set process
on every haircut. I go by a
process of looking
at the hair, understanding
what it is that the client wants to do
with the hair and then
my mind will just, you know, instantly come
up with a, you know, graph to get
it there.
To get it there fairly quickly, too.
Let's see here.
Yours is looking fresh. Watch, we're going to have yours on
fire, too, dude. I'm going to order a bunch
of products, too, just so I can start keeping these
cuts looking as good as yours does.
This is going to be so much better for him
because then he gets to maintain some of the
curl on top, but the way I'm going
to cut his hair, it's like he won't really have to
do anything. It'll damn near stay
stuck in its positioning.
What kind of music do you listen to?
That's a good
question.
I like
various music. I like
R&B, like, you know, Chris Brown and then
I like hip hop
but then I also
I like just some actual, like, beats
with
there was a little runway
that, like, one of these
high-end companies did
a show and it had good music in the background.
Because I have a YouTube
channel, dude, so I'm trying to eventually
have my own music made.
You got my own.
What's your channel called? It's Thomas
Baca Barber. Oh, that's
a sick watch, dog. I like the white band on
that. Hell yeah, that's a good watch.
This is what I do, haircut videos.
And then I flip the shears from
my shorts. And then
I'm gonna do what your son's doing, I'm gonna get that
final cut pro and just start editing.
Alright, what's up with you?
What kind of music do you listen to?
I don't really think there's
like a preferred genre of music
that I enjoy. I like all
music, but the ones that
I've been kind of getting into are
these psychedelic mixes that
people make on YouTube. Sick.
I'm gonna have to check that out for sure.
So I think the one that I enjoy the most
was called Jungle Walk.
Oh, no way. Is it like, what
is it, is it like sick-ass beats?
Is it like that or is there any
kind of vocal in the background?
Um...
I'll have to show you after that. Okay.
Sick, I would like to see it too
because I want to see that. Yeah.
I don't care who comes in, I don't care who's waiting.
As soon as this is done, I want
to pop that on YouTube so I can hear it.
Yeah, it's pretty good
the way they use the visuals
and stuff because that's what
is applied, but what kind of
introduced me to that was a
song that I listened to back in like
the summer of 2020.
It was called Demons
of Pain by Infected Mushroom.
Oh, wow.
And they did a,
somebody did a visual of that as well.
I love how you said Infected Mushroom.
Hey, I don't mind, dude.
It's like as long as they're learning and they're doing
the right thing and it's like, I don't, you know, cool.
And do you have a
YouTube channel? Yes, I do.
Alright, well what's your, hey guys,
all of you guys go subscribe to, what is your
YouTube? Um, my YouTube
channel is called...
Yeah, look it up because
hey guys, go subscribe to it
and everything.
Shit, like and subscribe to mine too.
My YouTube channel is called
Coast to Coast Space Toast.
Hey guys, it's
Coast and number two
Coast Space
Toast. T-O-S-T-E.
Guys, go check
him out and see what he's doing on there at least.
How long have you got a YouTube channel?
Um, I think I started it back
last, close to the end
of last year. Nice.
And I've been kind of working it. So what I do
is that I make like, I
make little gifs or I
do a
um, yeah, make little
gifs of my art
and I put it on repeat and then I add
an audio in the background
and then it's like
you know, constant.
That's cool, I'll have to go check that out.
Guys, this is
a soft taper, so just something
real light into there that I'm going to come down with a one
and kind of drop it and just have
it, uh,
look at me.
But um,
so my overall goal is
to kind of like
make what I've been working on
for years now kind of reality
for myself.
Yeah, that's what I did.
Yeah.
But um, it's going to
be really cool. I've got a lot of things planned
once I get everything
together.
Nice.
See, I cut hair
in prison for 1,827
days for 10 cents an hour.
I was the best barber in the world
and now that I'm out, I've got to
put it into existence.
So that's where I can see the movement of the art world.
That's where I can see the passion
behind it. Once you set
all the work you put in, and I already knew,
I was like, oh yeah, watch. It'll all
happen in another, you know, time.
Yeah.
Because a lot of these guys will, you know, start the
business or do something you didn't really put the work in.
You know, it's like,
show me the work.
Once you have the work, you're the man.
No, that's what I've been doing for
at least 20 years of my life now.
I'm about to be 21 years
old.
Yeah.
And what, does it take a certain program
to do those gifts or whatever?
Um,
no, it's just, it's
all about creativity.
However much creativity you have,
you just let it drive you.
And while you're creating,
you just
follow the rhythm of your
creativity. And then halfway
through it, you make a masterpiece that you're
proud of. And then you choose
whether or not you want to go
down this road that will allow
your masterpiece to become something
that everybody knows about, or
you go down a road that
your masterpiece only becomes a hobby.
Me personally, it took me
a while to kind of figure out exactly what
I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
Because there were
so many different choices, but my
mom told me that
one thing I should focus on is kind of
paying attention to what you can do
and what you're
able to reach, rather
than trying to push on so many
different things that
necessarily
you would fail.
You would fail,
but you would at least try to
succeed. And
I kind of didn't understand what she
meant by that. I was kind of confused
at first, but thinking about
it now, I
kind of figured it out, exactly.
It seems like
the mom is proud as far as
her mission is strong.
Yeah, she's always been there
to help me out. I'm kind of thankful for that.
It's okay to have high goals, but
it's also good to have reachable
goals that you can attain.
Yeah, that's what she was
explaining to me.
The high ones are cool, and they're great. You should have them,
but you should also have daily
attainable goals, things that are
relevant.
Shout out to the moms.
Oh, yeah. They're the ones that help
us out the most.
My mom even said to film,
oh, make sure, because you left the notes that they curled your hair,
and I told her, oh, someone's going to curl your hair.
She's like, oh, yeah, make sure the video
takes it.
I started listening to
our moms. They're on it. They know
something a little bit different than we do.
We're smart, but they know.
They had us, so it's like they know.
So,
different names,
that's the business name.
DreamWorks.
That's where I get most of
my inspiration from.
And then what, did you start a company
already, or?
I'm in the process of going to.
All I need to do is get it finalized,
and then it will become
structured to the point where if I release
something, it will necessarily be
taken from me.
In the trade market?
Yeah, the trade market would be 319,
and then my business name
would be...
What do you mean when you say 319?
It's just a number
that's stuck with me for a while now.
And so what, did you
trademark that name, or are you going to?
I'm going to.
DreamLikeArts will be something that
will be trademarked,
and then the
copyright
number
will be 319.
Awesome.
Yeah.
To create
is what I'm trying to create.
It is why
I'm going to this school.
To kind of strengthen more so
what I already know
when it comes to art.
I do not know how to animate,
but I'm pretty good when it comes
to me drawing something
and then digitizing it afterwards.
And you mean drawing
it on the computer or drawing it on paper
and then on the computer?
I have always done
traditional then digital.
I started doing traditional
then digital back in
2016
because I was kind of
fascinated by how
people would create art
by using
your tablet.
For me, I use my mobile phone
and I'm able to create pretty cool
stuff.
But I haven't released any of my art yet
because I do not want it to get stolen.
So I've just been releasing the traditional
stuff.
Because the traditional stuff, if they take it,
they can't really alter it
because it's a picture of an image
that I made on paper.
I will always have the original
piece.
But with digital
stuff, people can create it
but it can also be stolen
and it can be repurposed
in the way that a person wants it to be
repurposed so that way it's
used
by that person
rather than the person that made
the artwork.
So I'm doing all this
trying to make myself more
structured and such
so that way when I start really
working on what I've been working
on for the last 20 years
soon to be
21 years, I can actually
have it more structured
than I did before.
Yeah, that's good.
Structure is important.
That's true.
And the fact that you
spend so much time on it, that's even
more important.
Yeah, it's
important to me,
really important to me, that I have
everything addressed
kind of like
being pre-prepared
and then being
really prepared
when you start.
That's kind of what's important to me.
So what, is there a big market for these
GIFs?
Yeah, there is.
Like selling them to what, an app
company?
Who would you sell them to?
Well, I really wouldn't sell them
to anyone because of
like, you know,
what I've been creating, I want
to be able to make
it like TV shows.
Make it into
that type of set.
Because of what I've made
and how creative I've
made every single character that
I've created, every single series
that I've made the past
few years, along with
whatever else that I
will create or haven't
already made and started working
on, I want to be able to create
a show or shows
out of what I've made so far.
Or I
have everything categorized
and chronologically
organized in my
notes on my phone
and that's kind of where I go to
work on it or to make
sure that it's, you know,
structured in a sense that
I know exactly what the
series or the sub-series
is going to be.
Nice. I need to start getting
magic show clothes again.
That's kind of inspiring.
I mean, you've done
a pretty decent job
you know, with this
hair salon and stuff
like that. I think you're
doing a pretty good job.
I like how much you
paid. That's where it's like, *******, you remind me
of me. I was like, *******...
I can tell
almost anything.
But you're right. There's
more we can do, but you see how
we've structured it online, how it's kind of
pieced together.
Doing something a tad bit different.
You know.
And when you see this cut, you'll see
a little bit more about it.
Time to blow the YouTube up.
Getting everything together.
I mean, you should. It pays.
You can monetize your channel.
I'm going to say, you know,
YouTube's more important than any of the
other ones. YouTube's the most important.
Like, compared to
TikTok, that's...
Man, the biggest advice
with YouTube is just do it.
Too many motherfuckers wait.
And that's where it's like, you know,
I've heard a hundred thousand...
Oh, I'm going to start a channel, and you started
and people are like, oh, I'm going to start
a channel, and this... They never do it.
So it's like, dude, you're fucked.
It's like, you know what I mean? You need to
start the channel.
The first one that I
kind of showed you, that one
kind of like a placeholder. The actual one
is called, you know,
the same name as my
company would be, Dreamlike Arts.
That's the name of it.
Yeah.
Like I said, I went through five
different names to kind of figure out
which one was actually
perfect to use.
And how do you spell
dreams? With an S, the right way, or
with a D? So it's spelled...
It's all one word. So
dream is spelled the way dream
and then like is spelled the way like
is. Oh, so just dreamlike.
I bet you mean dreams. Yeah.
Dreamlike Arts.
Yeah, this looks great.
Thank you. Yeah, you have good hair.
