Femoious men heaircuts
We’ve talked a lot about men’s hairstyles at Real Men Real Style.
Nevertheless, it’s always good to have a refresher – especially when it comes to what the ladies like.
The Low Fade
It’s pretty much what it sounds like. The low fade features a taper that comes within an inch or so of the hairline.
The barber cuts the hair on the sides until there’s little or no more left on the skin. Otherwise, guys can be as creative as they like when it comes to this style.
The fade is also versatile – you can implement it for a plethora of other styles. It really drives home that effortless but deliberate look. You don’t have to try hard to look amazing.
The Quiff
There’s a lot of debate as to whether the quiff differs from the pompadour (discussed below). The answer is simple: yes.
The quiff tends to be far more subdued than its more rambunctious equivalents. It functions with longer hair on top with the sides and back cut short (perhaps a fade?).
To get the volume you need, you’ll have to blow-dry your hair with a round brush, then finish off with some product to keep it from going all over the place. It’s the perfect complement for gentlemen with naturally wavy and curly hair.
The Buzz Cut
We’re taking a detour to a more rugged men’s hairstyle. The buzz cut is hailed as a symbol of military heritage and heroism – and has been for centuries. In fact, 4th-century Roman emperors sported a style resembling it to drive that message home.
The buzz cut is the most low-maintenance men’s hairstyle on the list. It relies on a short length all over the head. A 2 on the sides and a 5 on the top work well, but a 1 all-around does the job too.
It’s perfect for men who’d rather just wake up and skip the hair routine altogether.
The Classic Side Part
The side part is synonymous with the businessman’s aesthetic. Don’t believe me? Just watch Mad Men.
Your barber should leave the top a little longer – 2 inches max – while keeping the sides tapered. Side parts can epitomize elegance using some pomade, but can also be more laissez-faire by using your fingers to keep it in place.
The attraction with this men’s haircut lies with the power it exudes. It’s intimately associated with business, and business means money.
The Undercut
You’ll find the undercut on plenty of sites discussing men’s haircuts. What started as a common style in the 1920s made a comeback, and it’s taken the world by storm.
The undercut is great for appealing to your dapper side. You get it but cutting your sides down to a 2, 1, or shaved clean. The top of your head stays long, at about 2-4 inches in length.
This cut is great if you’re proud of your angles – it accentuates the angles on your face and makes you look more masculine.
Peaky Blinders is a great reference point!
