2009 sees men’s hair styles fall into two distinct categories: school boy and rocker.
The majority of us will live out 2009 with a refined, classically inspired hair cut.
The men’s fringe trend in 2009 comes in a variety of lengths, so choose the look that suits the shape of your face. This can be clearly seen in the Bottega Veneta men’s spring-summer 2009 catwalk which provided two fringes in stark contrast to each other:
Whether you use a straightening iron or enjoy naturally straight hair, the men’s fringe trend in 2009 is all about texture. This textured hair style, with its longer fringe, is the 2009 incarnation of the ‘Caesar cut’. This is cut to bring hair from the temples and crown towards the forehead, the overall effect depends largely on using a matte wax or pomade to create the rugged texture.
If you have wavy or curly hair and you want to achieve the rugged texture, then look no further than Gucci’s men’s fall /winter 2008/2009 catwalk where the models oozed hot with a take on 2009’s fringe hair style trend.
Another 2009 hair style trends for men is the slick back look. Men’s hair styles are all about the classics. In fact the slick back may actually be a little too classic for most men. To achieve this you must first see if your hair is wavy or straight. Stick to a longer cut on top if you have straight hair. In case it’s wavy then go for short hair on top, perhaps a few inches in length. Jil Sander’s spring-summer 2009 catwalk is the most appropriate example of the slick back look.
Men should wear their hair long or short with an emphasis on the natural parting line. It may be on the side or in the middle, wherever the hair splits without any force.
Balding is obvious to you and to everyone around you. The best way to stop balding is to shave it all off completely. Combing hair over the bald spot only emphasizes the bald spot, not hide it, while making you look unimpressive. So face it and not hide it.
The biggest mistake men make is while choosing their hair styling products. Men who have dry hair should use water-based products, called pomade. Pomade adds moisture to rough, dry hair. A matte hair styling product should be used by men with normal hair. If men with normal hair use pomade, their hair will look too greasy. Hair products should be picked very carefully as they are used to balance the hair and make it look neat and trendy, not messed up. Apply a little at a time and never overdo the creams.
