If you have a thick or thin head of hair, both can benefit from a short textured hairstyle. Texturing the hair usually involves a straightedge razor or a pair of thinning scissors. Communicate with your hairstylist or barber about using one of these methods to create dimension in your hair. For thick and unruly hair, texturizing will help to eliminate bulk, allowing your hair to gain shape more easily, rather than being weighed down. For thinning or fine hair, texturizing helps create volume and movement, giving the appearance of a fuller head of hair. Finish the look by styling with a wax (for thicker hair) or pomade (for finer hair). Be sure to disperse the product evenly through the palms of your hand before working through the hair for even application. You will simultaneously look clean cut and stylish.
The cut for this style should be tapered with clippers at the nape and on the sides, and the top is left longer but with layers and texturing throughout. You will need to use a blow-dryer to achieve volume to the top, working the hair towards the back with a brush. Either a flat boar bristle or pronged vented brush works best. A quarter size amount of styling mousse will be incredibly helpful. Work the mousse through damp hair and using a brush, blow-dry the hair with upward movements, working away from your bangs. Once dry and ample volume has been achieved, work through medium-hold pomade that has some shine. You may need a light spritz of a light-hold hairspray if the weather is particularly humid outside. You do not want to end up with a flat style.
Clippers are not required for this haircut. Your hairstylist or barber can achieve this look by giving you a short layer all over. It is meant to look slightly disheveled, so be sure that they run a pair of thinning or texturizing shears through the layers. This hairstyle works best if you already have natural wave to your hair, allow your hair to bend the way it is meant to. If your hair is stick straight, this style will not work for you without first getting a body wave process on your hair at the salon. A fairly low-maintenance haircut that you can wash and let air dry. To keep in line with the ease of the style, use a styling wax that is matte, meaning, without shine. This way you will have product in your hair for light control without looking like you put anything in it at all. You’ll look both dapper and laid-back.
This hairstyle looks fashionable and does require some styling skill. You will need a tapered clipper cut at the nape and side burns. The top is left long, blended into the sides, with longer layers on top. Medium textured hair with natural body works best for this hairstyle. Try shampooing with a volume building shampoo to start with a strong styling foundation. Dispense a volume boosting mousse into your hands, the size of an egg, and work through damp hair. Part the hair where it naturally wants to split. Using a blow dryer and brush, work the hair up and slightly off to the side. A Denman style or paddle boar bristle brush is recommend for styling this hairdo. Once the shape has been created, finish off with a quick-drying medium hold hair spray for hold.
Instead of working against your naturally curly hair, have your stylist cut your hair into shape that works with the curl. This style is achieved my working with the natural shape of the head, tighter in the temples and nape while fuller on top and in the crown area. The right amount of layering will make the curls spring in a way that is desirable. Humidity is your enemy when you have curly hair, so you will want to contain the frizz so that your curls are nice and wavy. It is best to let your hair air-dry, or use a diffuser on the end of your blow-dryer if you don’t want to wait for it to dry. A diffuser can either look like a giant plastic cup with finger-looking prongs coming from it, or a mesh-like sock that slips over the end of your dryer. Work a grooming cream that is designed for curly hair, as it will have ingredients to battle humidity and frizz. Finish with just a few shine drops in your hands and finger through the curl.
A widows peak is where a point in the middle of your front hairline naturally forms, creating a “V” pattern in front. You typically see a widow’s peak in villainous characters such as vampires, but no one will accuse you of being a bad guy when you look this good! Since the peak forms a forward point, you want the hair to have opposite movement, upward and back, and it will help with the appearance of height to your hair. Keep the sides and nape tapered tight and medium length that are textured on top. You can part the hair for a sleeker look, or tousle the top for a trendier style. Use a medium hold styling gel or a wax that has some shine to it.
This is a classic clean-cut style where the sides and nape is clippered short. The top is also cut short but heavily texturized with thinning shears. You can add a little flair to this classic cut by having just the tips of the hair lightened a shade lighter than your natural color. Style this hair is as easy as washing and go. On damp hair, you want to work a firm or strong hold gel and spike the tips upwards. Between haircuts, use a personal trimmer to clean up the neck hairs and square off the sideburns as they become unruly. This is a playful look that goes great with the summer sun!
This is a classic taper haircut and even if the look is achieved by squaring off the nape, sides and top – you do not have to look “square”. Use a molding wax to create a “piecey” look on the tips and comb the rest into place. By doing so, you can carry off this classically conservative haircut with just a little flair. Adding style with the appropriate product will not compromise your professional look. Take this day look into nighttime fun by messing up the top with just a little more of the styling wax. Relaxing the hairdo will help you relax after a hard day at the office.
If you have natural curl but dislike it and don’t wish to emphasize it, keeping it short will help control the wave. But because you have natural wave, it will give your short style volume and body that many men with fine or stick-straight hair will most definitely envy! Have your hairstylist or barber use scissors to achieve a medium length cut that is slightly tapered at the sides and nape of the neck. You will have natural movement and body in your hair, so using a blow dryer is not necessary, unless you want to front hairline to stand up. Use a medium hold styling gel to give your hair the needed control. Finish the look with a light spray shine to help control any frizz that the humidity might bring. Plus, the added shine provides a nice polished look to your style.
The popularity of the show Mad Men has brought with a revival of men’s retro hairstyles. The look is classic, timeless, and incredibly masculine. The nape and sideburns are tapered and squared off to create nice clean lines. The top is a longer layered cut in order to comb off to the side or sleek straight back. Find the natural side part in your hair by combing it all straight back, then see where a natural split starts to form at the side and make the part. Style the hair with a lightweight styling gel or a medium hold wax. If your hair does not naturally flow back, you may need to take a blow dryer to it and brush it back dry. You can take this look into the office or to a black tie affair. Just like this look is so strong that it refuses to go out of style, you too will carry a confident and in charge attitude with a masculine retro look!
