Hairstyle Trends For Men

Men’s hairstyles are increasingly inspired by catwalks, particularly using the launch of London Collections: Men - the dedicated men’s fashion week that has ensured that grooming receives just as much attention as women’s catwalk looks.

From classically groomed looks inspired by heritage styles and traditional techniques to edgy, experimental colourful finishes having a more high-fashion feel.

With hair trends for Spring/Summer 2012 leaning toward the long side you'll finally have the ability to save a buck or two. Jil Sander, Burberry Prorsum, Dries Van Noten, Lv and Hermes showed low side parts, layered crowns and long bangs.

Short takes

The majority of today's male celebrities took the shorter route, with all-around short, "neat" hair. It's really no fuss, and might simply require some pomade or perhaps a similar grooming product allow it a bit of style. It all depends how short you want to go, as there's short after which there's the almost shaven, almost crew cut both of them are acceptable

Medium messiness

You may also sport a medium-length hairdo. Be it longer at the back and much more controlled on top or medium-length throughout can be you -- but it's much more about what you choose to do by using it. You could make it messy and provide it that "just got up out of bed look," or you might wear it natural and allow it to fall as it would. Just then add pomade or any styling product which will give your hair some texture and movement.

Classic Grooming

Inspired by Old Hollywood glamour and modern grooming icons like David Beckham and Don Draper, side-parted styles, high-shine product-heavy looks and rockabilly quiffs all came out this season.

Spike

Referred to as sexy 'messy' look, this style is simple to achieve and takes a shorter period than you take to clean your teeth. Based from the high and tight, then add gel and use your fingers allow it that 'just out of bed' look. Varying lengths of hair on the top give great creativity options, leaving room for your own personel sense of style.

Crew Cut

For any comfortable no hassle style, almost always there is the ever present crew cut. Your barber simply buzzes it right down to your desired length and shape. Usually associated with military, police, highway patrol, or servicemen, this style provides a sense of strength, authority, and confidence.

Texture Styles

For slightly longer hair, falling within the medium length category, texture is paramount. With hair reaching 3 to 4 inches and mimicking past hairstyles, adding hair pomade or special gels provides you with a daring look. Kick the style up a notch with a few color or lightening techniques, giving your cut that razors edge appeal.

Adding Length

Using the textured styles one step further by adding some length has become the very latest in hair trends for men. Giving a rather messy look with another handful of inches added to your hair, you get a full increase in texture and cut. The shorn edges provide the razor cut new popularity while providing you with a chance to relax your style. Pomade, gel, and lots of natural hair care products help to keep those longer locks wherever you want them.
