Just like the shoes and clothes you wear, the way you style your hair will say a lot about your sense of style and personality. It’s not just women who have beauty routines, men also have a degree of maintenance they practice. My hair routine is time consuming since I have long, thick hair. Hair upkeep is something many men also obsess about. I hardly get a hair cut because I’m quite attached to my long locks. Men, on the other hand, typically get hair cuts every two weeks. I love seeing men experiment with different hair styles; it goes to show men that men can also play up their look.
I’m diggin’ this Fashionisto’s haircut and hairstyle! This specific hairstyle is referred to as the pompadour. The look is characterized by tightly held down sides and volume on the top that gradually recedes toward the back of the head. The sides are typically slicked back, tapered or faded. The pomp (mid section) is styled to have a certain degree of volume. The slicked back look works great for summer! Not only does it keep your hair away from your face, but it stays in place all day when used with the correct product. You can also modify this hairstyle with different products to achieve a different finish—a wet look to high shine.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? To achieve this cut, it’s best to start with a good description to give to your hair stylist/ barber. I suggest bringing in some photos for visuals. Expressing the type of hair cut you want is very important. For styling, this Fashionisto uses Axe Hold Gel to create his slicked back look. To achieve a more matte finish, try TIGI Bed Head Matte Wax. For a more relaxed, less stiff style use Baxter of California Pomade.
