Hair care and trends for men
The spring-summer 2009 haircut for men can be edgy one day, low key the next. With the right careproducts, a healthy head of hair can give you incredible style.
Hair care
Healthy hair is always appealing. For that, you need to treat it well. Here’s how:
- Whether your hair is long or short, comb it every morning and night.
- Since men tend to wash their hair often, using an appropriate shampoo is crucial. There are now special hair care products just for men. Don’t be taken aback by the testosterone-fuelled marketing campaigns. These products are actually really good for your hair.
- When you wash your hair, massage the scalp. Then, towel-dry it, but don’t rub.
- Don’t wear hats and caps for extended periods. These prevent the scalp from breathing, which tends to leave hair looking dull.
Tips from the pros
- For the messy look, apply a thick-textured gel.
- For a natural look, choose a modelling wax or paste.
- For more volume, use styling mousse.
Trends for 2009
The mid-length cut
Casual and sexy, the messy “bedhead” look is still all the rage. And a mid-length haircut is perfect for this style, allowing you to change your look from day to day.
Bangs are back for those who dare
Judging by a trend spotted among many hairstylists, bangs for men are very in right now. From a single haircut - short at the back, longish bangs with varying length layers – you can:
- Sport a natural look – tousle your hair, add a dollop of gel and you’re all set!
- Wear it 30s style — think George Clooney
- Slick back your hair on the sides – for the manly man who’s not afraid of a feminine touch.
What’s passé?
And what about the classic male styles? The famous “fauxhawk,” that toned-down version of the mohawk, seems to be on its way out. As for the spiky look, it didn’t make the cut either this year!
