So, you want your hair to be in style with the latest trends? Fashion hair trends are often silly. Just because something is in style on the runways in Milan does not mean it will work well for you. For example, the latest trend right now is inspired by the 1970’s Doors rocker Jim Morrison. What does that mean? Well, it means that these so-called fashion stylists are making men’s hair longer, straighter and darker. Typically with no volume and often parted right down the middle. A lot like Johnny Depp’s hair on the cover of Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

This is fine for only those lucky guys out there with straight hair but what about the rest of us? Should we all be heading out to a hair stylist pointing to a cover of a movie and be demanding chemical straighteners?

If you are happy with your style than the short answer is no. However, if you are unhappy with your hair give these tips some thought:

Classic Cuts:

Aside from working for the government, this is probably the only area that the Canadian Prime Minister, the US President, and James Bond have in common. They all showcase classic straightforward haircuts. These haircuts are clean and neat with a part to the side. Like the classic black suit, they are always in style and almost always look good.

Short/Medium Hair Tips -

Maybe you think the long hair trend is for hippies or maybe don’t like having hair in your face and eyes. No matter what your reasons are, keeping your hair short to medium length is never a bad idea

Try Spiking/Chunking -

A messy, just-rolled-out-of-bed look that is seems to be casual, natural and relaxed. The only problem is that this hairstyle is about as real as reality television. To make the style work properly it requires maintenance and effort in the morning with either a wax or paste.

When leaving the shower don’t bother to comb out your hair, simply apply some wax or paste and then mess up your hair. The goal of this relaxed look is to make your hair look like some lovely lady just played with your hair.

Curly/Coarse Hair Tips:

Curly hair is both a curse and blessing. It’s nice to have a full of head of hair but it gets a bit tiring when all your friends ask you about the state of your Sideshow Bob Afro. In these situations, think about how cool Lenny Kravitz looks with his curly and then come up with a killer comeback. Dealing with frizzy hair can be a challenge but once you get into a routine it can be super easy.

The Proper Products -

The market is now filled with shampoos and conditioners as well as pomades, waxes, creams, and gels all designed specifically for curly hair. There should be a product out there that can help tame your unwieldy hair. This may mean traversing into the hair care section farther than you’re used to going but the risks are worth the rewards. Just be sure to double check the scents of your shampoo and conditioner to avoid anything overtly feminine. Avoid excessively over drying this type of hair with blow dryers-it only increases the frizz.

Cut those curls -

Curly hair can be easily managed by cropping it down to a manageable size. Some people have a lot of success by cutting their hair down to point to where the top of hair just begins to curl. If you like your locks, skip the barber, and try going to a stylist to get your hair properly styled. A good stylist will cut your hair at various angles to diminish the problematic volume of curly hair.

Balding Tips:

You’re young, you’re hip, you’re getting it done and you are suffering hair loss. No worries. For those of us in the process of losing our hair there are some cool tricks for us to use to keep us styling. Don’t try to hide or overcompensate by growing more hair in the back or at the sides-we all know how ridiculous a comb-over looks. Instead go with the flow.

Keep it all Short -

Try to keep all your hair short like Bruce Willis or Kevin Spacey. It can give you a mature, masculine look.

Can’t Beat It? Go with Flow! -

If all else fails try getting rid of your hair all together like Ving Rhames. Going bald is a truly dangerous and masculine look that gets attention. People will think you’re doing it just for the style. They’ll probably ask to rub your head for good luck. Just make sure you treat the top of your head right. That includes cleansers, lotions and anything else you would typically use on your face.
