Mens Hairstyles: 3 Hairstyles for this Winter

Trends for men’s hairstyle this winter are above average cuts short, both of the sides and back of the head short while longer on the top. However, just because a certain hairstyle is in trend, it does not mean you can get it without considering whether or not it fit your face shape. The biggest mistake you should avoid  is to follow blindly the hair trend that does not go with the shape of your face.

Close on the sides

This style is cut close on the sides and back all the way up to the point where the head starts to round at the top. If you have an oval face shape, you are lucky as we normally classified this face shape as ‘perfect’ face shape. This versatile face shape allows you to wear almost any hairstyle you desire. Consider this haircut this winter that is stylish and yet low maintenance.

Slick back hairstyle

When you think of slick back hair trends, actors like George Clooney and Leonardo Di Caprio comes into mind. The former plays a large part in influencing this trend and the latter always grace the red carpet with it. But this year, the only thing that is going to be slick back is the fringe with lighter hues running through a glossy mop of hair. However it is best advised if you only do this hairstyle in a dry weather. If it snows frequently, this hairstyle is not advisable as the snow will dampen your hair and it will hang down instead of stay up. This hairstyle goes well with a square and oval face as slicking your hair back will help make your face seem a little longer and it will emphasize on the square jaw that most men envy.

Disheveled hairstyles

Sometimes we also called Messy hairstyle, covering your forehead with hair will make your face seem wider. If you have wider cheekbones than the forehead or chin, this kind of hairstyle will compliment the shape of your face. Disheveled hairstyles will fill out your face at the forehead and chin while being close to your head at its widest point. However, avoid over-styling your hair when you want to achieve the tousled look as it might end up looking unnatural.

Finding the right hairstyle is hard but not impossible. Understanding the shape of your face simplifies the search for the perfect hairstyle. Be adventurous and do not hesitate in trying out new hairstyles to find which fits you best.

Mens Hair Styles for Fall 2011

New hairstyles are a great way to change one's look. In today society, more and more men are putting more attention to their hairs and have a concept of attractiveness. Most of them feel that they are more attractive and confident with a trendy hairstyle that suit them. Lots of trendy hairstyles for men have come up in the market since then. Today, we would just share couple of hairstyles that we think will continue to be popular in this Fall.

The tousled look, that impish style is still in fashion as it was in spring, but remember to use a light gel and spread it thinly with your finger tips. You want your hair to be able to move naturally, even though, when you are out on the street you may be wearing a hat, which is this falls must have accessory if what we saw on the New York, Paris and Milan catwalks is an indicator.

Beards are in and they can be any style, goatees, or tapered like George Clooney’s, so that they look as though you could grow a longer, thicker beard if you so wished.  It gives you the academic look, so if you want to look smart, adopt Clooney’s style.

If you are receding at the temples, try the Jude Law look, and ask your hair dresser to cut your hair to an inch all over, including on the sides. Buy a hair product that allows your hair to move, a light gel is just right, and tousle it on top with your fingers.

The main idea is, whatever length you decide on for your hair, you should go for the natural look, and as the cold weather hits, you may want to give your face a break and cover it with hair just as you don a sweater as an extra body layer. Don’t get cold!

Lastly, the utmost important advise from us, before you decide on new hairstyle is to find a good men’s hair dresser and have your hair cut into a style, which suits the shape and size of your face. It’s worth paying extra to get a really good cut, at least at first, and then you usual hairdresser will get the idea and just follow the good cut you have had. Hairstyles for fall are short, with a longer length at the top, with your hair cut above your collar and with your ears on show.

2010 Men Hairstyle Trends

Well, everyone are wondering what will be mens hairstyle trends in 2010? In our own opinion, here are just a few of men hairstyle trends in 2010.



Short Man’s Hairstyles

High and Tight, Fade, Spike, Clipper Cut and Crew Cut, whatever name you want to call it. We reckoned that by far the most popular man’s hairstyle in 2010 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 hairstyle with its many variations accounts for about 50% of all popular styles today. With just a little bit of gel to spike up the top, mess it up a little or finger into place, this man’s hairstyle will only take you seconds to achieve.

While you may have to get it cut more often, about every three weeks or so, the ease of styling this man hair cut is what makes it a favorite among busy men today.



Medium length, textured Men’s Hairstyle

2010 hairstyle trends 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 man haircut 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. To style this man’s hairstyle pomade usually works best. Work product through dry hair and finger into place.



Long Men’s Hairstyles 

While most men do not wear their hair down their back anymore, the long man’s hair style has made a somewhat shorter comeback. Perhaps the most recognizable example that we can related to this men’s hair style is Ashton Kutcher. Long, textured and disheveled, this man hair cut is gaining widespread popularity. Again, this man’s hair cut requires a lot of texture and works best with pomade.

 As you can see, the man’s hair style in 2010 is far from boring. Gone are the days of cookie-cutter barber shop man haircut. :)

Men Fashion Tips for 30s

Once you can't find your age on the calendar anymore, you know you're entering a new stage in your life. After the questioning quarter-life crisis years come your thirties, a time when you're torn between the changing twenties and static forties. For most men, fashion and style tend to change quite a bit during this period, too.




Men’s clothing for the thirty year olds has seen various trends ranging from French casuals and mode casuals to the select shop boom. Men in their 30s would have developed a discriminating eye towards fashion trends. You tend to seek a sense of sophistication while still being able to enjoy and wear fashion to your work as well as leisure. (Correct me if this is not what you experienced now)



Fashion Tips: Dos and Don'ts for Men in 30s



Men Hair Styles

Avoid jazzy hairdos or hair colors as that is the style for the younger generation. Even if you had tried on something earlier that suited you, it may not necessarily look good on you now. Also you will not be able to change your entire dressing to suit the hairstyle. Stick to comfortable hairstyles parting your hair the way it suits you best.


Skinny and Loose Clothing

Skinny and tight fitting clothes do not suit 30 year olds as they would have a more masculine body by then. Also shiny finishes and flashy prints are best left to youngsters.

Avoid loose baggy tops and pants as they would make men look stouter and sloppy.



Others Fashion Tips

As thirties is the time men indulge more in sports and physical activities like hiking, fishing and golfing, men should plan to keep their wardrobe stuffed accordingly. Keep a pair of comfortable t-shirts, cargo trousers, jeans, hats that fit the head snugly and protect the face from bright sunlight and sun glasses (avoid the fancy types, stick to black or brown tints), belts and sports shoes.

6 Tips on Get Your Dream Haircut

To look and feel your best, a good haircut is essential. The correct haircut can bring you self-confidence and satisfaction. A proper haircut can flatter the face, bring focus to the eyes, and minimize flaws. Most importantly, a haircut is a reflection of one’s personality. And as such, the better the cut, the more confident you feel. Here are 7 tips on how to get the haircut you want and deserve:



Tip 1. Do I Need a Matchmaking Service? Finding a good stylist can be likehairstyle1.jpg searching for your next girlfriend. Ask around and find out which stylist or salon your friends use, or you can ask someone whose hair you admire. Perhaps you have seen a salon around town that looks cool and you’ve been wanting to give it a try. In this case I would call them up and ask if they specialize in a certain types of haircuts or styles. Would they consider themselves to be modern or classic in their attitude toward style? Edgy or conservative?  



Tip2. Do Not Ignore Others Suggestions. Remember that you want to look great for others, so try to ask your friends for suggestions of hairstyles that they think looks good on you. But your friends are secondary only, to achieve the best hairstyle ask the experts a.k.a. your hairstylist. They know the best for you. If you dont like it, don’t worry, hair always grow back! Tip 3. Don’t Be Shy. You might want to call or drop in a salon and ask if the stylists will give a free consultation before you make an appointment. Find out what their style is and the kind of cuts they are particularly good at cutting. Maybe they are better at certain types of styles than others or maybe they typically do women’s hair. It’s good to find these things out before they start whacking at your hair.

Tip4. Find a barber who cuts your style well. Looking for a good barber? Here’s thehairstyle2.jpg easiest way to find one. Ask. If you see a guy with a great haircut - one that’s similar to the style you’re looking for - ask him where he got it cut. Just walk right up and say, “Hey man. Cool haircut. I’ve been looking for a new barber, who cuts yours.” Yeah, it might be a bit awkward, but you might just find a great barber in the process. Oh… and regardless of what you might think, the guy will consider it a compliment that you asked.  



Tip 5. Communicate Well and Be Good to your hairstylist. A proper communication and a good relation between you and your hairstylist is very helpful to achieve optimum result. When you describe the desired length of your hair, use your hands instead of describing in inches, it’s a lot easier to understand by your stylist. As much as possible bring pictures of the desired hairstyle that you’ve seen in magazines or Internet. Pictures are truly worth a thousand words, so dont be shy to bring a piece.



 

Tip 6. Take a picture. I’m not sure why so many men have such a problem with this one, but it you’re looking for a new style and you find one you like in a magazine or photograph (or this website), print out a copy and take it with you to the barber. This will help the barber understand exactly what you’re after without having to explain it (something we guys are notoriously bad a doing). Just be realistic. If you look like Bill Clinton, a barber can’t make you look like Brad Pitt or if your hair has the texture of a pot scrubber, he won’t be able to make it silky smooth. The photo will, however, give your barber an idea of what you want so he can create a similar style that works well with your hair and face. Oh, and no he won’t think your a girlie man for taking a photo - he’ll appreciate the effort. I always do.

 

Tip 7. Money Money Money Tip appropriately or you may not want your stylist to have a pair scissors near your face the next time you drop in. A Proper tip is 15% to 20% for your stylist & $5 for the person who washes your hair, if someone other than your stylist is doing so.
