Hairstyles For Men's Short And Long Hair

By Darren Hartley


Shaving the sides and leaving the top appears to be the latest trend in men's hair styles. A person needs to evaluate first what his hair tends to do naturally before styling his hair. It is only after the evaluation that he can calibrate his hairstyle. As an example, while long and sharp spikes would look great for someone with straight hair, it would be considered a miracle to achieve with thick and curly hair.

Men's hair styles are products of alterations to the length, curl and texture of the hair in different extents. Before selecting your hairstyle, you must first determine the amount of time you are willing to spend in styling your hair every morning after you wake up. A hairstyle that does not shy away too much from its natural look is the best alternative for men who expect to spend as little time as possible in styling their hair.

The maintenance of men's hair styles need more than water and a comb. You may need a hair mousse to add volume and shine to the hair. You may require pomade, hair wax or hair clay to mold the hair in difficult-to-achieve shapes.

Gel and hair glue are the other products that can be used for the maintenance of men's long hairstyles. Alcohol is an ingredient in gel that is not present in pomade. This dries out the hair and provides a stiffer hold to it. For the strongest possible hold of the hair, hair glue is the best bet.

A must in the maintenance of men's long hairstyles is the consideration of the situation. There must be an evaluation done on the reason for which the hair is styled. If the reason is making a good impression, forget about Mohawks or spikes. In all instances, the hairstyle must match the occasion where it is to be worn.

Most men's long hairstyles have one primary direction in which the hair is combed. They are either combed forward, back, up, to the side or straight down. By experimenting on a few different directions, a man will be able to determine what works best for him.
