# Animated Barber Cut Shorts Peter Simon Goes 'Ballpoint Barber' on His Brave Buddy By Sarah Dos Santos | Published 2013-09-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ballpoint-barber References: [123inspiration](http://www.123inspiration.com/ballpoint-barber-a-stop-motion-video-by-peter-simon/) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/peteyboy) If you've ever [buzzed your head](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manscaped-dome-shaver-pro) and immediately wished it back, then you should book an appointment with the 'Ballpoint Barber.' Instead of wearing a wig or using horse shampoo to make your hair grow back faster, you can just get a reverse haircut of any style you want! Peter Simon made a stop-motion video of his friend Tom Offer-Westort. In this video, he starts off without any hair, then Pete draws a bunch of different hairdos that Tom seems very curious about (with a ballpoint pen, to make this even more awesome). Tom even gets his full beard back -- how convenient! This video means that you can try out [any hairstyle you want](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-hairstyleapp) and see yourself it before you sit in the [scary hairdresser's chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hall-of-fade). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Reverse Haircut Trends:** Reverse haircut trends offer individuals the opportunity to experiment with different hairstyles before committing to the real thing. - **Stop-motion Animation Trends:** Stop-motion animation trends provide a unique and visually appealing way to showcase creative ideas or concepts. - **Personalized Hair Experiences:** Personalized hair experiences give individuals the chance to try out different hairstyles in a hassle-free and non-permanent manner. ### Where This Applies - **Barbering:** The barbering industry can utilize reverse haircut trends to offer customers the ability to preview hairstyles before getting an actual haircut. - **Animation:** The animation industry can leverage stop-motion animation trends to create captivating and engaging content for various purposes. - **Beauty and Personal Care:** The beauty and personal care industry can embrace personalized hair experiences to provide customers with a unique and tailored approach to hairstyling. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anthropomorphic Hair Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-ballad.md) - [Virtual Hair Trimming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wahl-style-selector.md) - [Adventure-Focused Hair Clippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-clipper.md) - [Hairstyle NFT Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rodmans-barbershop.md) - [Self-Haircutting Clippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wahl-self-cut-pro.md) - [Next-Level Head Shaving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/best-electric-head-shaver.md) - [AI-Based Salon Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-corp.md) - [Virtual Hairstyle Previews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-hairstyleapp.md) - [Hilarious Male Grooming Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manscaped-and-pete-davidson.md)
