#when he's in his 40's he grows a beard and it's wild and curly and he still has a few younger kids at this age

Partimer!Deku Headcanons!

So I kind of started this on @tui-lah‘s page sending her asks, but I figured since it was what inspired me to make this blog I should keep it up!

Deku as a Part Time Hero/Part Time Kindergarten Teacher:

- Okay so let’s get one thing straight Deku absolutely ADORES his kids, okay? He was already pretty good with kids, but getting to work with kids is truly the dream for him (I mean, aside from the hero dreams). 

- Consistently has to be reminded that they are not actually his biological children

- He does shockingly well with problem kids. He’s really good at finding the root of the problem and working from there. Usually when kids are upset or mad it’s an emotional issue, so Izuku just finds out what’s making them sad and tries to help them out.

- His students have asked if they could call him Dad/Daddy/Papa. He had to say no, but only because their actual parents might get upset about that.

- His students all think it’s super cool that he’s a hero and ask for power demonstrations approximately every 5 minutes. He’s pretty sure they’re trying to get him fired.

- Sometimes he gets called away to go on extremely important missions and the kids just...don’t let him go. Like, they dog pile him, cling to his clothes, sob their little hearts out. It breaks his heart every single time, and he always ends up crying with them, which just makes them cry MORE. 

- The other heroes draw straws for who has to go pick him up on these occasions because nobody wants to have to witness the whole scene that ends up happening. There’s just something about a bunch of toddler’s being like, “Mister ‘Doriya, don’t weave!” that can melt even the hardest of hearts. Aizawa is the only one who ever has any level of success in calming the kids down (he has a lot of experience with emotional children).

- Since this is right around the age kids start getting their quirks, Deku is just THRIVING

- At first he was really scared because like...he didn’t get his quirk at a normal age what if he can’t help them?

- This ends up being a laughable fear because Deku has studied so much about quirks that he could literally answer any question they have

- And if he doesn’t know the answer he just asks one of his friends that did grow up with a quirk, like Todoroki or Uraraka.

- The kids are always so proud to show him their quirks, and he gets so excited for them and just hypes them up a ton

- He also pays special attention to the kids who are later bloomers or just don’t have quirks

- He makes sure that they know they’re valuable

- Sits down with them one on one over a juice box if needed and discusses the importance of people without quirks and how heroic they can be by just being themselves

- At the end of the day he usually comes home weighed down with presents from his students

- Sometimes it’s macaroni necklaces, or paper chains, or drawings, etc.

- His refrigerator is more art gallery than fridge at this point

- SO. MANY. PICTURES. OF HERO DEKU.

- He cherishes every gift. Has a whole box of them in his closet.

- Takes his students to feed the birds at the pond on a field trip day once

- Just barely prevents multiple drownings

- Cue Deku wading out of a lake with a couple of soaking wet, oblivious toddlers under his arms

- They have no idea the danger they were in. Deku, on the other hand, decides that bodies of water are going to be a no for the foreseeable future

- Goes home and has a mini panic attack and starts sketching up in his notebook ways to baby proof literally everything

- Best Dad- I mean, teacher, ever.

Let me know if you guys liked this and want to see more/want some headcanons of Deku teaching other grades!

'Outlander' postmortem: Makeup designer Annie McEwan reveals how she made Sam Heughan 'feral'

Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser in Starz’s Outlander 

Warning: This post contains spoilers for the “Surrender” episode of Outlander.

We already knew that Jamie was taking Claire’s departure back through the stones hard. But the second episode of Outlander‘s third season reveals just how much the loss of his Sassenach spouse has affected the handsome Highlander. Picking up in 1752, six years after Jamie’s miraculous survival at the Battle of Culloden, “Surrender” finds him skulking around the forest surrounding his family home of Lallybroch in the unkempt guise of the outlaw, the Dunbonnet. To say Jamie doesn’t look his best would be an understatement: with his long, tangled hair, a beard with the consistency of steel wool and skin that clearly hasn’t seen a sponge in at least three years, he’s the 18th-century embodiment of the 21st-century word, fugly. The person tasked with giving Sam Heughan this extreme makeover is the show’s makeup designer, Annie McEwan. Yahoo TV spoke with McEwan about designing the Dunbonnet’s look, and how Heughan likes being mucky.

How did you go about transforming the dashing Sam Heughan into the ratty Dunbonnet? The word that we used was feral. Jamie’s gone feral; he’s not washing or maybe washing once a month. He’s not looking after himself. He’s sort of given up a bit. So Sam had to be as unkempt and as mucky as we could do with makeup. I don’t know if you can even see that there’s some dreadlocks in his hair, but we did put some dreadlocks in it. The beard was hair-length and glued-on, because we didn’t have time for Sam to grow that big a beard. And then it was just about building up layers of dirt [with makeup].

There are six years between the end of Culloden and finding him in this cave, so it was an opportunity to age him up as well. He’s so golden, Sam. We took out the goldenness to make him a bit more gray and a bit more lifeless. I don’t know how much shows on camera, but they did a lot of work on him. A lot of little lines around his eyes from peering through the smoke of the fire and scrunching his eyes up. We looked at books about explorers and mountain men and how their faces had been coarsened by the weather. We tried to get all that in with paint. We also highlighted under his lashes and darkened them just to make that pouch be more prominent, and communicate Jamie’s depression. What we were trying to get away from is him looking gorgeous and not aged, so we did the opposite of that.

You can tell he doesn’t bathe very often; you can almost feel the aroma wafting off the screen. Exactly. He doesn’t care. And because he’s hunting as well, so there’s that old hunter adage where you don’t want the animal to smell you before you get close enough to kill them. He’s catching wild animals and running after deer and stuff, and he doesn’t want them to scent him. If there was aroma television, there would be an aroma!

How many different wigs did Sam try on before you found the right one? That’s a rented wig; we didn’t make it. There are lots of good wig people in London, so we got a variety that were the right color for Jamie and tried them on. That particular wig was bang on so we used it, and just put dreadlocks in it to rag it up. Because there’s a six year gap, it was believable that his hair would grow that long.

In the book, Voyager, the bonnet covers Jamie’s hair completely, but here the hair spills out. Did you try styles that were closer to what was described on the page? Yes, but I think people weren’t keen on it because they [weren’t sure] he would be recognized by the audience as Jamie. I think that was the reason. But we did try it. We put all the hair under the bonnet, and nobody liked it. It didn’t really suit Sam, either; it didn’t say “rugged” and “unkempt.” Once the long hair went away he looked less tramp-like.

Fans can take even these seemingly minor changes pretty seriously. Are you prepared for any sort of backlash? Well, I’m prepared ’cause it’s not my decision at the end of the day! So I’m innocent. It’s the producers and director that take the flak on that. I happily step aside and allow them to take the flak. [Laughs.]

Do you follow the fan reaction in general to the characters’ looks? We do try to stick to the books as much as we can because I know the fans are truly wedded to what happens in the books. And it’s not ever my decision, like I say, that we don’t do something. Like the beards; there are a lot of beards on the Highlanders, and I did stress that they didn’t have beards. It was just a century where beards were thought of as only being for mad men and tramps. Nobody with respect for themselves would have a beard. But because there were beards in the book, we met it halfway. A few of the Highlanders had beards, and a few of them didn’t. If we do have to change something, we try to keep a foot in both camps.

How many variations were there for the Dunbonnet beard? The beard was made for Sam, and we started with a bigger and bushier version and then cut it down, cut it down, and cut it down. You can imagine how bushy it was to begin with! Also, if you saw that beard in reality, it wouldn’t look as big as it does on camera. For some reason, it increases in size. We started with a proper beard, and it was just too much. We cut it down to the dregs, and that was perfect. It didn’t get tangled in anything, you know what I mean? It’s got to be practical as well, and because it’s not real hair, it doesn’t behave like a proper beard. If it’s too long, it’ll back-comb on itself and get shorter and shorter, and you’re in there pulling all the tugs out. At that length, it behaves well. In Diana’s book, she had him coming out of the cave and going to Lallybroch to clean up every month or so. It would have been too hard on us to show him coming down, shaving and going back. So we just established that as the length of the beard and that was it.

How long did Sam spend in the makeup chair to become the Dunbonnet? It would be about an hour-and-a-half to an hour-and-three-quarters. The beard was always left until the last minute because it was so uncomfortable to wear. It was half-an-hour for the wig and half-an-hour for the beard. The longest thing was makeup and building up the layers. We just had to build and build and build. I think we shot all of that over the course of 10 days.

Do you remember Sam’s reaction when he saw himself in full Dunbonnet mode for the first time? He loved it! He loves the mucky thing. He’s happier being mucky than doing the French thing. If he had the choice, he’d always go for mucky. Not that he’d want to have the beard again! It’s really uncomfortable. Nobody likes the process of having to sit in the makeup chair for almost two hours when you’ve still got a 12-hour shooting day and then cleaning it all off. But he loved the layers of dirt and the aging and all of that. Like I said he prefers that to being the clean, young Sam. He likes all the rugged stuff —t he swashbuckler, the man of war. He doesn’t like being in the powder room; he’d rather be out in the hills waving a sword about.

Speaking of the Claire sequences in the ’40s and ’50s, what was the approach to how she would look back in that present versus the past? There was such a formal look to the ’40s, and the ’50s and ’60s were somehow even more fixed because they had all that hairspray to create helmets of solid hair. And quite big hair, too! By the end of the ’40s when she’s with Frank and pregnant, her hair is still sort of curly and free. But then once we started hitting the ’50s and ’60s, it went rigid. It helped her to look older when her hair is that rigid.

The aging process for both Sam and Caitriona is done very subtly with makeup. I’m sure the actors appreciated that. Yeah. I mean, Claire [ages to be] 50 years old, and that’s not a tremendous age. Being 60 myself, I think 50 is quite young! You can’t add prosthetics and stuff to add bulk because with age, you lose bulk. So it’s a rocky path, aging. The decision was to do it subtly, with the hair from the period aging people, and then using highlight and shade with the makeup. And acting! It comes from within. Good actors act the age, so our job is less. [Laughs.]

Outlander airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Starz.

40 Of the Top Hairstyles for Older Men

40 Of the Top Hairstyles for Older Men

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push( google_ad_client: "ca-pub-8946428665621856", enable_page_level_ads: true );

As a man ages, he may have trouble finding a suitable hairstyle. Your hair may change color and texture. What worked in your 30s might not be an option anymore. Even your hairline might be a different shape. Most hairstyles for older men happen to be shorter.

That’s probably because about 65% of men have noticeable hair loss at age 60, according to Statistic Brain. Shorter hair creates less of a contrast between bald areas and spots where hair is thick. Therefore, you’ll end up with a smoother, more blended look.

However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t wear your hair long. If you’re one of the lucky ones who moves past mid-life with lush, thick hair, you have some more options when it comes to hairstyles for older men. Here are some of our favorites.

White, Long, Pulled Back

White hair may appear thinner as you get older. You can keep the top long, with the front strands even longer than those in the back. Direct the hair away from your face. Have the sides chopped shorter, and grow out your white beard to blend everything together.

Two-Toned

As your hair turns gray or white, it can get wiry. This can be hard to handle at first, but it creates texture even in straight hair. Keep it short, with the top slightly longer. Some white at the sides and the temples looks stately. So does some salt-and-pepper scruff on the face.

Rugged And Beachy

If you spend a lot of time outdoors, you don’t want to worry about what your hair is doing in the wind. Keep it about an inch long at the top and the sides, and have it shaped to complement your face. Messy texture always looks easygoing. Spraying salt water in your hair can help you maintain some spikiness without the stiffness of gel.

Long Hair

You can still have long locks after 50. Focus on keeping your hair healthy, and have it cut to create volume. If it starts thinning too much or looks too flat, you might consider cutting it shorter so that it’s not weighed down.

The Neat Pompadour

It seems like many millennials are getting a pompadour nowadays. However, you won’t look out of place if you want to try this classic style. Keep it neat, and limit the undercutting if you’re just not that hip anymore.

Textured Layers

If you have fairly thick hair, you can have lots of layers cut in with some significant length. Use a matte paste to mess up the strands and keep them from looking too perfect.

The Long Ponytail

If your long hair hasn’t fallen out, you might as well flaunt it. Pull it back into a rugged ponytail like Sean Connery. It’s a classic for older men that will never go out of style.

Long Wavy Texture

As you get more grays and added texture, your hair may fall differently. Grow it to the nape of your neck, and flip the front away from your face. You’ll look like a philosopher.

Long Layers

Mick Jagger knows what’s up when styling older hair. He realizes that he might not be able to get away with an extreme rock-star look. However, he retains some edge by keeping a relaxed look. The ends are thinned out, the waves are allowed to flow in whatever direction they choose, and the haircut matches his sense of fashion.

Traditional Caesar

This is the same haircut that George Clooney put his mark on for quite a long time. It’s short, and the top is styled flat and directed towards the front. This style tends to be neat and refined. However, you can give it some edge by spiking it up with some hair product.

Straight Chop

Stick-straight hair looks great when it’s cut the same length all around. Give it a soft part, and have the ends thinned out so that they’re not too blunt. Keep the style flat all around your head.

Undercut

If you want some more edge to your style, you can have the sides undercut. Keep the top longer, and spike it up or wear it back as a pompadour. Trim your beard to match the length of the hair at the sides and back of your head.

Short Spikes

Many mens’ haircuts retain some length at the top. This isn’t ideal for you if you have a long, narrow face with a prominent chin. If you do, keep your hair shorter. You can create interest by working wax into the ends and spiking them in different directions.

Tidy Undercut

This style is perfectly groomed. There is plenty of thick hair at the top of the head, and it’s cut to a medium length. The edge of that contrasts sharply with the fade on the sides. Even though the beard is long, it’s meticulously shaped to maintain that neat look. You have to make sure that the beard is tapered well into the sideburns so that it doesn’t look too wild.

Short And Tousled With Sharp Moustache

We see so many beards on older men these days. However, you can go clean shaven with just a moustache above the lip. A relatively short ‘stache looks good with short, tousled hair. There are many trendy styles for moustaches in 2017.

The Buzz

Buzzing your hair is easy to do. You can go to the barber shop, or do it at home. If you’re already balding, you can try keeping your hair cropped close to the head to just go with it.

Slick Cropped Curls

If you crop curls close to your head, you’ll have a textured look that can appear thicker than it actually is. Keep your curls tamed with a moisturizing hair product that adds some gloss.

Blown Back

Give your hair volume by blowing short/medium-length strands up and away from your face. You can even do this if you have a receding hairline. It’s best to show it off instead of trying to disguise the obvious.

Choppy Taper

The traditional mens’ haircut gets a short take with a thick top and well-blended sides. This style is balanced, so it grows out nicely in between cuts.

Keeping It Real

If you have lush, thick hair, keep it longer while you still can. Style it away from your face to show off the salt-and-pepper color at the temples.

One Wave

If your wavy hair is thinning, you might not have a lot of texture. Give the top some body with a slight wave.

Lots Of Crop

Significant choppiness on the top of the head can create an aura of thickness. Work hair powder or dry shampoo into the roots to prevent this hairstyle from falling flat.

Center Part And Long Layers

Dark hair stands out from the crowd as you get older, so you might as well make the most of it. Long layers frame the face and look great with a beard or goatee.

Thin And Refined

Your thin, soft strands look laid-back when you just let them be. Keep them super clean, and they won’t lie flat on your head.

Tanned And Gray

Kevin Costner has an easy-to-maintain men’s haircut. It’s short, and there’s a subtle part. The front is directed upwards, and the rest of it is textured for a low-key look. His glowing skin makes him look even more rugged.

White Dreadlocks

African Americans with long hair are stunning with graying dreadlocks. You’ll have the most unique hairstyle out of all of your friends.

Dark And Sleek

Not every older man has gray or white hair. Maybe you still have that thick shock of a black mane. Enhance it by slicking it back gently with a pomade. You can leave some height at the top. This looks dapper with a smooth shave or a short beard.

The Gentleman

A traditional tapered cut that’s parted on the side and brushed slightly to the back works with almost every hair type and color. It’s a gentlemanly look that’s traditional but not boring.

The Groomed Beard

Notice how this guy’s beard stands out? His hair is nondescript. The short cut is shaped nicely to his head, and he’s not trying to hide his hairline. The short, gray-and-white beard looks sharp with his tailored suit.

The Bun

Don’t be afraid to wear a man bun at any age. It can still be a professional, business casual hairstyle, and it can make you look younger. It’s extremely masculine when paired with a thick, textured beard that’s a little rough around the edges.

Short And Natural

Denzel Washington wears his curly hair cropped short. It’s thick, so it has great texture even as he gets older.

Peppery Texture

Richard Gere may have stopped aging sometime in the ‘90s. Maybe it’s because he has such great hair. To replicate this style, cut it short. Have the ends of the hair textured. Don’t wash it too much, or it might stick straight out. Hair that’s slightly dirty will hold its bedhead style better. You can add mousse or texturizing spray if it starts to look too feathery.

Round And Undulating

This hairstyle shape hugs the curves of the head. It’s great for framing a square face or rounding out a narrow one. The sides aren’t too short, and the texture is allowed to do its own thing. Lots of layers prevent it from getting flat. This haircut is not tapered as it gets closer to the neck.

Boyish Lop

You’ve probably had a haircut like this at some point in your life. The lucky thing is that you can have it back. This is the traditional childhood boy’s haircut. It works when you get older because your hair has that same thinness and texture again. Longer fringe in the front is worn to the side. If it’s not too thin, it will cover some of your receding hairline.

Tall, Dark And Handsome

This handsome look emphasizes dark hair. Lots of layers are cut into the thick top, and the sides are shorter but not faded. A little sprinkling of gray hair actually prevents this style from looking too uniform.

Short, Shiny Shave

If you’ve gone bald and you have a shiny dome, there’s not much you can do about it. Don’t let the hair around the edges grow too long. The thicker it is, the more it will contrast from your scalp. Cut it close to the head for a refined look that’s easy to maintain.

Curly, Off-Center Part

Curly, thin hair has an off-center part to give the illusion of volume. If you part the hair too far to the side, the top will look flat. A slight taper and sideburns that come to the center of the ear balance out this style.

Soft And Relaxed

A soft hairstyle with little taper works for thick hair that has lots of different colors in it.

Modern Spikes

Lots of texture works for older men’s hairstyles. Get the ends razored for this spiky effect.

Distinguished Mane

A medium-length cut is styled at a diagonal to bring out the distinguished widow’s peak and lighter temples. It’s a classic look that retains its youthfulness with a little bit of messiness.

What can you do to prevent thinning hair as you age? WebMD explains that there are some treatments that can help prevent hair loss. Others may even help hair grow back. You should probably get advice from a medical professional if you choose to go this route. You can avoid having to mess with hair growth products simply by getting the best hairstyles for older men.
