Today’s men's hair style can be either long and textured or super short and tight and still be considered trendy and at the height of fashion. Some men’s hair styles require gel, mousse or pomade while others don’t even need to be combed. The bottom line is that now, more than ever, there are numerous ways to achieve a stylish and trendy hair cut. That means that there are a lot of different styles for men who are looking for the perfect man hair style to choose from.
While the man’s hair style is less rigid than it was in the 80s and requires a lot less goo to accomplish, the modern man hair cut is still best served by a little styling. No, you do not need to spend hours in front of the mirror coaxing every strand into place, but a little gel never hurt any man’s hair style.
But what are the latest trends in men's hair styles? Here are a just a few and details of how to style them:
* Super Short Man’s Hair Style: High and Tight, Fade, Spike, Clipper Cut and Crew Cut - these are just a few of the names given to the short man’s hair cut. The most popular man’s hair style by far is the High and Tight or Fade. Characterized by a closely cropped clipper cut around the sides and back of the head with just enough hair on top of the head to comb, this man’s hair style with its many variations accounts for about 75 percent of all popular styles today.
With just a little gel to spike up the top, mess it up a little or finger it into place, this man’s hair style will only take you seconds to achieve. You may have to get it cut more often - about every three weeks or so - but the ease of styling this man hair cut is what makes it a favorite among busy men today.
* Medium Length, Textured Men’s Hair Style: Today’s styles for men have a lot of texture and the same is true for medium-length styles (about 3 to 4 inches). These styles resemble the classic men's hair cut of the past, but step it up a notch by using extreme texture and color to bring it all together. Most styles use a great deal of razoring and texturizing with notching scissors. Pomade usually works best to style this man’s hair style; work the product through dry hair and finger into place.
* Long Man’s Hair Style: Although most men do not wear their hair down their back anymore, the long man’s hair style has made a slightly shorter comeback. Perhaps the most recognizable example of this men’s hair style is Ashton Kutcher. Long, textured and disheveled, this hair cut is gaining widespread popularity. Again, this man’s hair cut requires a lot of texture and works best with pomade.
These are just a few examples to prove the man’s hair style is far from boring. Gone are the days of cookie-cutter barber shop men's hair cuts. Here to stay are the trendy and styled cuts of today...
