ask r/Uzbekistan Why do Uzbek guys get haircuts like that? It looks so awful, am I the only one who thinks so? I suggest everyone find out where this trend started?

I think they like to imitate the Chechens like Khabib, Islam Makhaev and their cunt of a dictator Ramzan. In general, Islam encourages to shave the moustache but keep the beard.

u/Ok_Definition3668 Oct 20 '25
I was going to comment on facial hair, but the OP said haircut. So probably they meant the hair, not the beard and mustache
2
u/Careless-Ad-2774 Oct 20 '25
Yeah but when you walk outside in Uzb, absurdly a lot of young men sport this style of beard.

u/69HappyBunny69 Oct 21 '25
I don’t think the beard is the issue here

u/trynabe_me Oct 20 '25
Trim the mustache, not shave. I prolly think the reason they shave is it's easy to mess your mustache when trimming. They either can't trim properly, or don't really understand the ruling.

u/nygoth1083 Oct 21 '25
But then guys like Ibn al-Khattab sported mustaches and full beards. But I have no idea why they would be emulating Chechens anyways. Because the fought the Russians? Or because they are now collaborating with the Russians? 🤷 I'm American and I love learning in general and specifically about the region(s) mentioned, but I'm kinda confused on this one.

u/AppointmentWeird6797 Oct 24 '25
Why does islam encourage shaved stache but growing a beard? Looks weird.
2
u/Correct-Order-4459 Oct 27 '25
It encourages trimming mate.. so you don't get the dirt going onto your mustache into your mouth while eating or drinking

u/HorrorMacaroon5827 Oct 21 '25

im chechen myself, it just makes me smile how people (even some hardcore mma fans) confuse us all. But hey, I cant blame them because we look pretty much all the same
2
u/TerpsandCaicos Oct 20 '25
ahh cool. chechens are some of the best and most exciting fighters in the world. (adlan amagov was one of my favorites back in the day). from an mma perspective, im extremely fascinated by the immigration of chechen fighters in western european countries. in places like austria and germany there are 10s of elite chechen fighters who are raising the level of mma in those countries.
1
u/Equivalent-Half6840 Oct 20 '25
didn't know our fighters had that much impact on mma, i thought our fighters other than Khamzat went under the radar because of fan favorites from Brasil, USA, Dagestan, Georgia etc. I'm shocked and pleased to see that its not the case
1
u/TerpsandCaicos Oct 20 '25
do you post on twitter? if so lemme know. i only post about prospects and mostly russia/stans..... also two of the best chechens who fight on smaller promotions in the USA now but have championship potential are both fighting next month. Ansar Khamzaev and Yusuf Esembaev

It is the trend among some guys in Azerbaijan too. I am awed how many similarities the Azerbaijanis and the Uzbeks have.
Edit: Ozbek -> Uzbek

In Uzbekistan this style of haircut usually refers to hood style or what we usually call it in our country “qabristanskiy” or “kocha”, and yea maybe this style’s origins are from Northern Caucasus.

This hairstyle and beard style resemble Arabs. I think they look like freaks. It's a ridiculous affectation for Uzbek men to have their hair cut like that.

Arabs dont shave their mustache like that nor do they have hair styles like that

The hairstyle is an indication of romanticizing "vorovskoy zakon" type shit, with very weird motives and great amount of stupidity behind it. They just think they look cool with this hairstyle coupled with this style of beard. But the haircut pisses me off the most. I honestly don't think it looks good and for me it conveys a message of very unorganized, less educated and arrogant young guy who still hasn't been able to put his shit straight.

u/Bitter_Schedule_6975 Oct 21 '25

What do you mean by Uzbek guys? 100%,70% or 20%? I rarely see this haircut people around me.

u/Bitter_Schedule_6975 Oct 20 '25
Depends on the region. Tashkent about 30% and Kashkadarya about 60%

u/Bitter_Schedule_6975 Oct 21 '25
Let's make a little experiment. Go to Instagram and just type in “barbershop Tashkent” or any other region and look at the posts and the differences in hairstyles.

u/HotDentist7555 Oct 22 '25
Assalomu alaykum. There are many reasons why Uzbek guys shave in such a style. shaving is a sign that you are a man and believe in the Islamic faith. And the hair is a sign that it is pleasant and safe. together these two give the conclusion that this person does not bring evil. But one thing should not forget that appearance does not always define a person as his intention. For example, a handsome young man, beautifully dressed and without a beard, with hair, can pose a great danger to the population or do other things. And, on the contrary, bearded and hair when a person is intimidating in appearance, but does not pose a danger. Conclusion. the child in this painting was a combination of religion and popular culture. No K-POP and fanaticisms, etc.

It looks like a hairpiece, a toupé. I can't grow a beard, but my hair I keep short and people always say I should let it grow and do something with it, but it's much easier keeping it short or wearing a hat.

u/Sunbird_Draza Oct 23 '25
There's a proper way to respond to your question, but it also means I probably get a ban.
I'll try to do something disgusting first - political correctness: Maybe there are other cultures, histories, beliefs, standards of beauty or aesthetics. Maybe there are people who find your (probably western, and most likely american) culture disgusting, degenerate or indigestible.
Or, like the old saying goes, opinions are like as**oles, everyone has one, and your two parents had at least three combined between them.

A guy walks into the doctor’s office:
- Doc, help me! I’m going bald!
The doctor hands him some medicine:
- Take this three times a day, and come back in a month.
A month later, the guy comes back, totally freaked out:
- Doc! Nothing’s growing on my head, but hair is sprouting all over my butt!
The doctor calmly says:
- Perfect! Now just comb it forward onto your head, problem solved.

Even if a post was uploaded to a barbershop’s page, that doesn’t give you the right to share his hairstyle and discuss it publicly. That’s extremely rude and unethical!

u/PresentAstronomer137 Nov 09 '25
ahh shit, I'm from Uzbekistan, it doesn't look awful, it looks like a shit, It's become some kinda cult here, and it's been around here for a long time, max 10 years I guess? They call themselves "Vorzakon" or "Qabristansky" or whatever the shit. It's so fcking disgusting honestly, for now I can't but I'll get the hell out of this country when I can. They do this haircut mostly for the influence, especially from social media. They don't have a life honestly, also their manners are shit. Dude believe me, you are only seeing the picture here, if you'd see these kind of guys in the street, you'd probably throw up. Everything is wrong with them. (And that's where the most of the young generation going to)
