Here are a couple of the latest styles to get your hair under control again

Classic Cuts

Go out and rent some movies from the fifties and sixties. Do you notice anything about the leading men? The look of the day, back then, was the classic slicked back, slightly swooped look. This hair style drove the ladies crazy, and for good reason – it works. Taking the time to get your hair manageable and in place has become a lost art in recent years. Take a cue from heartbreakers of the past; add a little bit of retro style to your hair. The ladies will thank you when they see that you care enough about your hair to actually comb it before you pick them up for a date.

Buzz Cuts

The buzz cut is one of those cuts that always stays in style. You simply can’t go wrong with a good buzz. You won’t have to spend a lot of time primping and combing with this cut. It may be the polar opposite of the classic style discussed earlier, but it still works. If you like to get ready quickly, and don’t want to spend a lot of time getting your hair to behave, but still want to look your best – you should definitely get a good buzz cut.

Saying goodbye can be difficult, but you should have no difficulty saying goodbye to the bed-head look. Men have gotten away with this look for too long, and it’s time to let go. Consider a classic or buzz cut as ways to incorporate a new look that’s stylish and smart.

Like red lips and blue jeans on women, some looks for men just never go out of style. The distinguished classic short haircut is very “in” this year with celebrities like George Clooney and Brad Pitt sporting the look. The cut is short on the sides, and can be medium to short on the top. Some men wear this classic look swept back or with a side part and some just keep it extra short for extremely low maintenance hair.

Another current hair trend for men in 2010 seems to be a revival of hairstyles past but with a modern twist. Men’s hair fringe, or bangs, which are the short hairs that lay across your forehead, is very in this year. Last year saw what many called “emo hair” which often had fringe so long it would hang over one eye. This year is more about texture and movement along with a shorter, usually brow level, length.

Other popular styles for men include the buzz cut, which is especially good if you have thinning hair as it does a good job on concealing any loss. The slicked backed look is currently popular as well, as long as it is kept short. Think classic polished style and not about a 1950’s era greaser.

As you can see, 2010 hairstyles for men tend to have the vibe of low-key, classic, and traditional. So get out of your 80’s rocker hair mindset, and really wow your friends with a brand new look!

Men and women alike have facial shapes that are broadly defined, although most faces don’t exactly fall into one clear shape. Everyone you meet has a face that is unique, and can take on one or more of the primary shapes.

If you wonder why anyone cares about face shapes, consider the fashion world, as the shape of the face is the way to determine looks in colouring, hairstyle and cut that are the most flattering. The shape of your face is also taken into consideration if you decide to add facial hair, such as sideburns, mustaches and beards.

Hairstylists will tell you that there isn’t any such thing as a perfect shape for a face. Men’s faces can include various shape features, depending on their bone-set, weight and other variables. Some men’s faces can even show three different shapes.

A few modern hairstylists disagree with the purpose of classifying all faces into shapes. They feel that the notion is outdated and inappropriate. But if you believe in the basic premise, most men have a basically square face.

Many celebrities have face shapes that are described as strong, square and angular. These people also have plenty of personal assistance in determining the best short or medium hairstyles for them so they select a look that expresses them most accurately. Men with square-ish faces look their best with a medium or short hairstyle that punches up and enhances the shape of their face.

Facial hair will also add definition to your overall facial shape. A beard is great camouflage for a softer jawline, and a mustache will help make an oblong face look shorter. A trimmed goatee may also be able to infuse the look of a square to a softer chin.

If you have an oblong or rectangular shaped face, you will need to work on shortening the oblong shape and hiding the angles. A layered hairstyle often works best by letting your hair form an irregular hairline, for this type of face.

Not too many males have classically round faces. Before males attain maturity, they may have softer jaw or chin areas. As men age, they develop a stronger jawline. The goal for men with short or medium length hair and a rounded face is to slenderize the face. Curls or waves at eye level can help make a full face appear leaner. Beards can also be added to make the face more oval and less round. Likewise, a neat mustache will add to the appearance of your facial shape. If you have more of an oval shaped face, long hairstyles may work well, even if your jawline is more square.

If your face is somewhat triangular in shape, you will want a medium or short hairstyle that minimizes your chin. You can wear your hair more closely cropped near the temples and crown, with longer or fuller hair at the back of your head.

All of these ideas will be helpful in making the most of the facial shape you have.

Of the various styles of fringes, a side-swept type seems to be more preferred, since a cropped fringe tends to look a bit nondescript. If you think you may like side-swept fringes, check out Marni’s Menswear collection, since this type of style is shown there. If you’re looking for something a bit more current, try cutting your fringe at the brow.

The 2010 look for men means showing some different textures. This means using light and layered details. A textured men’s hairstyle with a longer fringe is the 2010 reincarnation of the long-known Caesar cut. It’s also sometimes called the Clooney cut, since he wears his hair like this a lot. This style is cut in a way that brings hair from your crown and temples toward your forehead. The overall effects can be dependent on using a pomade or wax to create rigid textures.

George Clooney has also influenced another style that is very popular in 2010, and that is the classic slick back. This style is said to be too classical for some men, and not a favourite worldwide, although it is popular in North America. If you have straight hair, do the slick back by sticking with longer hair on top. If your hair is wavy, leave shorter hair on top and use the hair around your face to show off your facial structure. Whether your hair is wavy or straight, you will want to leave it shorter on the sides.

If you use a mild shampoo, you can shampoo your hair every day. Use a shampoo specifically for the type of hair you have. Don’t believe the myth that frequent washing causes hair to fall out more quickly – that’s in your genes, not your shampoo.

The most important hair product you can purchase is the proper conditioner for your hair type. This will do the most good to ensure that your have healthy hair and a healthy scalp as well. The brand itself is not as important as making sure the conditioner is made for your hair type. Organic conditioners will treat your hair and scalp at the same time, so that will make it easier for you.

Gels are not good for your scalp because they make it harder for your scalp to breathe. There are gels that are not as hard, and these will help your hair look more natural without interfering with the health of your scalp.

If you use styling products, only purchase the types that are pliable and not too stiff. The good products may cost a bit more, but you’ll want a softer hold that allows your hair to move around.

Salon brands are very popular with men and women alike. They are made for your specific type of hair. Two in one shampoo and conditioners should not be used, because you can’t remove the oil and condition the hair with one product.

If you have curly hair, grooming cream can be used to help control your frizz. In this way, your hair will be as easily maintained as straight hair. Get your hair cut at reasonable intervals, and make sure you only use the proper products for the best look and the healthiest hair.

If you wore the same short or medium hairstyle all winter long, perhaps it’s time for a change. Even if you get your hair cut regularly, you may want a more relaxed look for the summer. Whatever you are looking for, your barber or hairstylist will be able to show you the hottest trends for the season. Better yet, you can browse photos online or in magazines and see for yourself what hairstyles are being sported for the season.

Classic short hair cuts that are slickly parted are one of the trends for the summer of 2010. These look like the timeless style of Leo DiCaprio, or the new look that David Beckham shows off in his new Armani ad campaign.

The newest hair product that has hairstylists talking is Biosthetique’s Molding crème. This is a good choice for men who are health-conscious because it makes your hair quite mold-able and easier to restyle without stiffness or extra weight. This product helps style as well as conditions your hair, to protect it from becoming too dry.

Use a conditioner that can help to protect your scalp from irritation and dryness. Conditioners will also strengthen and overall improve the health of your hair. Also, make sure you use a shampoo for your hair type, and apply conditioner after you rinse out your shampoo.

If you’re not sure it’s time to change your medium or short hairstyle, check your wardrobe and make sure that your look is consistent. If your wardrobe has been updated, it may be time to consider a new haircut as well.

If you have curly hair, find a hairstylist who will be able to work with it. Men with curly hair should always consult their barber or hairdresser about the style they want and how best to achieve that style. Your hairdresser should also use the proper techniques and tools, like feather-razor cutting and the use of shears.

The first thing you’ll want to do if you want to colour your hair in addition to updating your style, is to visit a professional. Home dye jobs may give you less than satisfactory results since it can be tricky to find the right colour. To make sure that you keep your hair colour preserved, you’ll want to protect it against the damaging rays of the sun. To do this you should switch to a shampoo that is specially made for coloured hair.

If you are looking for male celebrities who have styles similar to what you’re looking for, David Beckham is always trendy and not afraid to change. He changes his style now and then, and you should feel free to do the same. Mature males can also look at celebrity photographs of men like Al Pacino or George Clooney for great haircuts. In addition, Andrew James Allen is now wearing a bit of a longer hairstyle with a part on the side that looks quite flattering on younger men.

To give your hairstylist an idea of how you want your hair to look, you can clip pictures from magazines or print off pictures from the internet. Browsing pictures will also give you ideas if you’re not sure exactly what look you are after.

As a general rule, people with olive toned skin may go for darker highlights, and those who have ruddier skin may opt for shades of red. Many men select a variation of blond, which looks good on dark hair.

If your highlights are done correctly, it can really make you look and feel younger. Keep in mind that highlights are usually not something you can do yourself. The way highlights will look on you depends largely on your hair’s health and texture. Let your hairstylist know how much or how little change you actually want to show.

For one highlighting technique, your hairdresser will apply a bleaching agent to small strands of hair and wrap them in foil. Foiling gives excellent results because it colours your hair very close to the roots.

Another technique is called hair painting. You can have this done at a hair salon or at home. This is where a bleaching agent is applied to your hair with a brush.

The third method takes the longest time. Your hairdresser will put a plastic cap, with small holes in it, on your head. He or she will then pull strands through and bleach only those strands. You may need to spend some time under a hot salon hair dryer, to activate the colour agent. If you have your highlights done in a lighter shade, be sure not to go more than a couple shades lighter than the rest of your hair.

Wind, sun and humidity are hair’s enemies and are found in abundance during the summer. If you don’t properly care for your hair in the summer, you may get frizzy, lifeless hair with split ends.

It’s a good idea in the summer months to let your hair relax and breathe, especially if you’ve had hair highlights done for the season. Letting your hair air-dry instead of using a blow dryer is an excellent way to let your hair have a break. If you air-dry your hair it can help protect it from damages caused by the extreme temperature of blow dryers. If you use a blow dryer in the summer, it’s best to use deep conditioners on your short or medium hairstyle in order to protect them from the excessive heat.

You can pamper your men’s hairstyle with special treatments that can easily be made at home. These natural remedies work wonders to revitalize your hair in the summertime, and to restore its suppleness and luster. If you do this your hair will have fewer tangles and it will be more moisturized.

If you apply jojoba oil on your hair ends, it is a great way to help prevent dry hair and split ends. Coconut or olive oil masks will also bring new life to your hair, in a natural way. Just rub a bit into your hair and scalp, cover with plastic for several minutes, and wash it out with a mild and moisturizing shampoo.

During the hot summer, your hair may become flat and limp, so you can add some extra volume by using a shampoo with volumizers. Be sure to drink lots of water, too, so that your body – and thus your hair – will remain well-hydrated.
