In today’s competitive world, standing out from the crowd is essential. And there are certain types of hairstyles that can help you do it.
This year, we’ve seen all sorts of lockdown styles and experimentation. Here are some of our top picks:
DISCONNECTED UNDERCUT
The disconnected undercut is a short hairstyle, but it doesn’t look like it. When trying to figure out how to get wavy hair men will often look for longer styles. But the way this cut works is innovative.
First, you shave the sides short – pretty standard. Then you allow the hair on top to grow to perhaps three inches, comb it back, and style it into waves. The long length on top makes this appropriate for business environments as well as social scenes.
HIGH FADE
The high fade is a hairstyle where the length of the hair varies according to a gradient, depending on where it is on the head. It starts long on top and then gradually becomes shorter as it makes its way to the ears and back of the neck. Eventually, the hair should be barely visible at all, leaving the region immediately around the ears look bald.
THE SIDE PART
If you want to create an immediate impression in business circles, you might want to opt for the side part. This style is still one of the most popular choices. Today’s style is to have a strikingly straight part line back to the crown, with freshly coiffed locks on either side.
THE CAESAR CUT
The Caesar cut was something that the great ruler himself wore. And now you can too.
Here, your stylist cuts your hair short and then creates a horizontal fringe that runs across your face. It immediately creates a rugged appearance and enhances your status.
THE FRENCH CROP
For those looking for something a little longer, you might want to try the French crop. Contrary to popular opinion, this style does not involve spiking up the hair along the fringe line. Instead, it requires cutting the backs and sides short while leaving the hair at the front of the face long enough to cover the forehead.
BRO FLOW
Long men’s hairstyles were few and far between several years ago. But with the rise of the metrosexual male, they’ve become increasingly common. What’s more, they actually help you create a sophisticated appearance – one you don’t get when you wear your hair short.
The “bro flow” involves letting your hair grow out long and then scraping it back off your face. If you have sufficient hair to pull it off, it looks great at any age. It’s the sort of style you want to rock when you walk into a boardroom.
QUIFF
The quiff is yet another stylish option you might want to consider. It looks a bit like a pompadour but features a bulge of hair at the front that curls back on itself. Traditionally, barbers cut the sides and back short to provide contrast for the mountain of hair on top.
