Benefits

Looking cute involves being clean, which means grooming regularly. You need a hairstyle that is easy to manage with a lot of effort.

How to Choose the Best One

Young Man With Messy Hair

Hair Texture

First, you must determine if you have fine, medium hair or coarse hair.

If it is fine, it might not have a lot of volume. So, you must manipulate the look without worrying about how to cut or shape it.

If you have a medium texture, don’t worry about maintenance. Razor cuts are good if you want to keep it light and blunt cuts are good if you’re making it look thick.

If you have coarse hair, you should go for cuts that reduce the weight and bulkiness. So, razor and layer cuts work well.

Face Shape

This is another important factor in picking a hairstyle that looks good on you.

  • Oval: A short crop looks good on oval faces, as do blunt bob cuts and lobs. But leaving the hair long also works, in which case, you should style them into curls or waves. Get a professional electric head shaver for this.
  • Square: Try side parts or long layers. Try layered and short bob cut or side-swept bangs if you want to keep it cropped.
  • Round: Choppy pixies and long layers look good near the jawline. You can also try fringes on the side. Avoid bob cuts, full curls and short layers.

How to Get

Step 1 – Figure out your face shape

You need to do this in front of the mirror. Look at the outline without ears or hair and figure out the shape.

Step 2 – Determine the type of hair

You need to know if your hair is straight, curly, textured, or wavy. Then you must determine the texture, which is fine or medium, or thick. Based on that, you will know how to style it.

Step 3 – Pick a style

Now, for the shape of your face and texture, there will be a few obvious choices and then some. Ideally, you should pick one of those.

Step 4 – Decide the length of the sideburn

The length of your sideburn should be decided based on the shape of your head and your face and hairstyle. Trim them for short hair and leave them long and thick for long hair. You can do this with efficient hair clippers.

How to Style 

Drying Hair With Men's Hairdryer

Step 1 – Consider the occasion

Styling depends on the occasion you are doing it for. Whether it’s a prom or a job interview, you want the audience to arrive at a good first impression. So, traditional hairstyles are better received in formal situations. 

Step 2 – Use the right product

You want to use quality products for special occasions. Cheap products can cause buildup that makes the hair too oily or dry. And don’t try new stuff for an important event.

Step 3 – Get a stylist’s opinion

You want to make sure you get the opinion of someone who knows what they are talking about if your hair is not giving the vibe you want it to.

Step 4 – Make a plan to refresh the look

And finally, if you are going to keep this look for more than a couple of hours, you want to plan to refresh the look. This way, you look clean and snazzy, whatever you’re going for.

Best Hair Products to Use

There are lots of options. Apart from the ones mentioned below, you should also look at a premium hairspray for men.

Pomade

This is a greasy product used for styling. Look for a pomade for men with a pleasant fragrance.

Hair Wax

You want a hair wax that provides a great volume and hold, and it is thicker than hair gel. It’s also a very economical hair clay

Shampoo

No matter what type of hair you have, find a shampoo for hair loss that works because you can’t do any styling if your hair is falling.

Conditioner

This is another essential product. You want to find a long-lasting hair conditioner for men.
