Choosing a Hairstyle for Men
How much do you know about men's style and grooming?
While hair is a woman’s crowning glory, it is a measure of a man’s personality and status. Can you imagine George Bush with a ponytail? Or how about Bill Gates in a shoulder length hair? It seems that despite their power, both financially and politically, some men can not get away with long hair. Unless of course, he is an artist!
Today men are more empowered to choose the hairstyle that suits their fancy. If you think that men are not so concerned about their hair, and their hairstyles, then better think again because they can be vain, more than the womenfolk when it comes to their crowning glory.
You might think that finding a good hairstyle for men is like searching for a needle in a haystack, considering that men are stereotyped to having that crew cut from birth to death. But hey, you can have the classic men’s cut and still be in style especially if you are a lawyer who wants to have that respect-me look. Or, you can go for that Caesar cut, which is still short, but with bangs that can give you that youthful look. You can use gel to tame the bangs if you want to look serious.
Finding a hairstyle
Or if you are the hip-hop type, you can try the spiked look, which is also short, but can be styled with the ever-reliable gel. Young men who want to have a fusion of the respectable and the flirty look generally prefer this.
Daring men can say goodbye to conventions, and grow their hair long to get the messy look. Remember that boy-tousled look of Leif Garret that women loved in the 70’s? Or how about Zac Efron’s boyish locks in the Disney TV movie High School Musical? If you dig this style, then you can just wash and semidry your hair, and then put on styling gel and mess it up! This hairstyle shows a happy go lucky image.

What impression do you want to make?
If you are tired of the ordinary and you really want to look your best, then check out the shape of your face before having your haircut. If you have a high forehead, then a cropped look would do you good. Check you hair texture, as it may not match the style you want. Curly hair should be cut short to keep you looking clean. On the other hand, a slightly wavy hair can be worn long for that sexy tousled look which women love. If you have straight hair that is easy to style, then you can grow it chin length and still look neat. You can also check out the various men’s hair magazines (yes dear, they’re not only for girls!) for the latest in hairstyles.
If you’re still at a loss and undecided, then here’s the rule of thumb: short hair can make you look mature, powerful and sophisticated while long hair can make you look (and feel) young and carefree.
So, it’s you who decide what impression do you wish to make?
