One of the first things people notice about you is your hair — the right cut can get you the right attention. We’ve compiled eight great styles to try out, whether you’re tired of your old look or just want to try something new. Flip through the slides and read our descriptions below to find out more about each cut.
1. Classic Cut: All-around short, “neat” hair. It’s no fuss, low maintenance and requires only some hair styling pomade to give it a bit of style. Use pomade in specific spots to put those random hairs back into place.
2. Medium to Long Hair: When getting your haircut, ask your stylist about balancing the weight of your hair (a good stylist should know.) Most will tell you that weight should be removed from the hair according to a guy’s face, head shape, and features — certain places like the sides should have minimal weight to avoid a frazzled look, while the top can maintain some weight to give it the right body and structure. Use pomade to prevent frizz and keep curly hair defined.
3. The Shag: A “shaggy” look with hair cut fine and bangs completely swept to one side rather than parted in the middle. Keep the style tousled and side-swept by running a bit of pomade through damp hair, arranging hairs in the proper direction.
4. Low Tide: For those with a receding hairline, cut the front of your hair very short, with the rest of your hair short all around.
5. Bald-By-Choice: Guys that are balding may consider taking control and shaving it all off — it’s a trendy alternative to the dreaded comb over, and its becoming increasingly popular with guys in their 20s and 30s. To minimize irritation, use MenScience Advance Shave Formula. Follow up with MenScience Post-Shave Repair to avoid ingrown hairs.
6. Controlled Curls: For guys with curly hair, preventing frizz is key whether you can opt to keep it long or short — A great haircut and the right products will help achieve this. For this style, you’ll need to grow out your hair a little before visiting your stylist to get it trimmed and shaped properly. To maintain this look, use hair styling pomade.
7. The Distinguished Gentleman: This is a great cut for the older, more sophisticated man — short to medium length and very well kept with the appropriate amount of pomade.
8. The Funky Do: This style is a trendy and fun alternative to the norm. Keep the highlights subtle and understated (not like this guy) if you’re going for highlights and you’re over 30.
