Week 5 BOC -- Men's Hairstyles



Men’s hairstyles seem to change just as quickly as women’s, which may be quite surprising to some. Right now there seem to be about four different major trends; the bangy, medium length, the curly long length, the stylized short length, and the classically modern short length. The bangy, medium length would be hair like mine (when it’s cut regularly) Chace Crawford, and Zac Efron. The front of the hair, the bangs, extends to about eyebrow level and the back is kept somewhat shorter and the top is layered and usually choppy.





The curly long length has been popularized by skaters and snowboarders like Shaun White. The style is just as is sounds, hair that usually extends to about shoulder length and is usually naturally curly by that point. Since most men these days don’t want to perm or curl their hair if it’s naturally straight they may leave it so.






The stylized short length includes fauxhawks and shorter hairstyles a la David Beckham and Jake Gyllenhaal. It is kept shorter and closer to the face and is usually very choppy and layered to keep the entire style interesting and texturized.







The classically modern length is much like those favored like business professionals in the 60s and brought back into style today by the likes of Jon Hamm from Mad Men. It’s a shorter style with the hair side parted and combed back. Quite chic.
