I have noticed that come spring, men tend to look for hairstyles that sharpen their look. A trend that seems to renew each year is classic barbering. Although I am not a barber, I do keep up with barbering skills and this spring I have been using them. Men are seeking variations on the classic cuts with individual styling for different hair types. With this combination there is literally something for everyone.
Here are a few of the popular classic men’s short hairstyles with their stylistic interpretations:
1. Vintage Mad Men. This simple slicked back 50’s look can be polished or edgy, depending on styling. It’s neatly trimmed with side partings that add volume.
2. Classic Side Part. It’s a traditional look that can be re-invented with blow-drying, styling products, and a bit of experimentation. This one is open to individual customizing.
3. New Pompadour. With closely cut sides the longer hair on top adds volume that can be styled for many different, edgy looks. Men with straight hair can easily carry a side swept pompadour.
4. Curls with Attitude. For those men with curly or wavy hair, the spring trend is to emphasize those curls with texture – using mousse or pomade. If you’ve never worked with styling products (a bit of gel doesn’t count), it’s time to give it a try.
