For the past few years the “out of control” approach to men’s hair styles has been dominant. For the most part, letting your hair grow out and jut in every direction has been kind of liberating. When you can roll out of bed and head to a meeting without getting a second look at your bed-head hair, you have a lot less pressure on you. That look is dead now though. You can’t afford to take this lazy, slovenly approach to your hair much longer. It pays to take a little time and start actually combing your hair again.

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.
