This look combines the best of both worlds – modern trends and sophisticated style.

Indie Hair Cuts

Messy and almost overgrown indie hair has been the hairstyle for artists, rockers, and stars since Oscar Wilde. Fast forward to Mick Jagger, Chace Crawford, and your favorite indie rocker.

The look works for all hair types – straight, wavy, curly and fine or thick. To get indie hair cuts, let your hairdresser know which band’s look your going for (singer, drummer, or guitar player).

It’s about have lots of length on top to play with top, blending into the sides. You can go shorter on the sides as well but avoid the hard line of the undercut.

Styling indie hair is as laid back as it look. Your hair is already cut to work with your hair type, so let your hair do the work. All you need to do is run a dab of pomade through hair and push it into place with your fingers. Disheveled is the best way to rock the look, adding to the devil may care attitude indie hair cuts exude.

For the product, choose a pomade that works with your hair type. Look for something that gives hold, texture, and a hint of shine. For regular hair,  Get Groomed Finishing Cream By Redken for Men is a quality product available at most stores. For wavy or curly hair, a great product from a reliable brand is Toni and Guy Label.m Curl Cream. You can find it on-line or the salon.

Emo Hair for Guys

Emo hair for guys can be styled from short, medium, and long hair. There are a few defining features of this indie hairstyle so are 5 steps that show you how to get emo hair:

1. Straight – Emo hair is straight. To get it just right, try using a hair dryer and flat iron. Hair often gets wavy when it is longer or air dried.

2. Bangs - Long fringe is the defining feature of emo hair. Wear them brushed forward and angled across to one side – so the bangs cover one eye. Even with short hair, you can wear your hair emo by styling bangs this way.

3. Spikes – Emo hair for guys is a derivative of spiked punk rock hair. Behind the bangs, spike hair up at the back. Try L’Oreal Dirty Clean Wax or D:fi D:struct Pliable Molding Creme to keep spikes up and bangs in place.

4. Haircut - You want long bangs, texture, and asymmetrical cuts – the sides can be uneven with lots of layers and razor cuts.

5. Color – Wear hair dark, especially black. And you can add streaks of color – blonde, bright blue, cherry red, grape purple, or any color of the rainbow. These are easy to do at home.

3 Don’ts for Mens Hair

We’ve told you what to do for curly hair, thick hair, fine hair, even thinning hair with the best hairstyles, tips, and product recommendations. Just in case that’s not enough, here’s what not to do. Keep reading for 3 don’ts for mens hair.

1. The Wet Look – Slicked back hair is in but not the wet look. The look was eve n a runway favorite for women this spring but never made it onto the street because unwashed, greasy hair never looks good.

If you’re using hair gel to slick back or spike hair, you may be committing this don’t right now. If you don’t want a hairstyle straight out of There’s Something About Mary, it’s time to find the right product.

Look for the right amount of hold for your hair type, something water-based that washes out, and save the shine for special event. Try one of these:

For fine hair, try Aveda Grooming Clay for hold without shine.

For straight hair of all types, from thin to thick, for great hold with a better smell, try Jonathan Product Dirt Texturizing Paste.

Curly or wavy hair, BioSilk Rock Hard Gelee adds enough but not too much control.

2. Curtains – We hope the 90s was the last time you saw this look (not in the mirror this morning). You may have seen the center part on some celebrities but on you, it looks more like Bart Simpson going to church. Don’t do it.

Whatever hairstyle you’re wearing – slick, spiked, messy – commit to it. This curtains look is somewhere in between slicked back and trying to have bangs but you can’t have them both.

3. Weird Bangs – For those of you with high or growing foreheads, there are flattering solutions. Wearing bangs long is one, wearing bangs short is another, and slicking hair across works too.

What you’re trying to do is minimize the issue, not draw attention to it. There really is a hairstyle that will make you look your best, that’s why there are so many options.

Even if you have to bite the bullet and go short, it’s better than wearing something that will get you second looks for all the wrong reasons.

Cool Mens Hair – Messy

The current mens hair trends are masculine and sophisticated (and will look cool in photos forever). If you’re starting with the right cut, your hair still looks great without styling. So wearing hair messy still gives you cool mens hair.

The modern take on short sides – long on top is brilliant worn slicked back or up but that’s not all it can do. For the weekend, just let go (also good to have a day or two to really wash out any product build-up, or try this Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo Cool Mens Hair Messy).

Hair will look great worn slightly messy is an updated version of bed head that still looks distinguished and cool.

When you’re just starting to style mens hair, you want an easy to use product that you can’t screw up. Stay away from gels that tend to get crunchy, pomades that can be too shiny, and heavy waxes that can make hair greasy. These products are great but require a light touch and some experience.

Sideburns

What to Elvis Presley, Jason Priestley, and Wolverine have in common? Unforgettable sideburns. Don’t worry about if burns are in style, it’s all about how you wear them.

As with all hairstyles, choose your sideburns based on your face shape. Wider sideburns balance out long, narrow, and wide faces. Or wear narrow sideburns with a smaller or proportional face.

Your stylist or barber can help you find the most flattering and it’s recommended that you get them professionally shaped to start anyway. Also, sideburns look best when they are slightly wider on the bottom than on the top.

As for length, a conservative sideburn will end above the earlobe. This is the length James Dean wore and it still looks cool.  For a more distinctive bad boy look, go a little longer, like Robert Pattinson. For a quirky look, go even longer like Flight of the Conchord’s Jemaine.

Hair is long enough to curl the front, which is emphasized  in a modern update on the Duck Man’s signature look. Another way to style this haircut is slicked back, leaving natural texture in place.

5 Medium Hairstyles for Men 2013-2014

The wide range of popular men’s hairstyles for 2013-2014 is due to long hair. Short hair, cut only an inch long or so, doesn’t have the same versatility as medium length hair.

This isn’t all over long hair though. Length is concentrated at the top of the head where it can be sculpted into these medium hairstyle for men.

The cool thing about medium hair is it can be styled in so many ways. Once you get one technique down, whether it’s spikes the slick look or hipster hair, you can use similar methods and products for other styles.

This preppy hairstyle is a more casual version of slicked back hair. It’s a similar styling method but to get this height without heavy product, use a blow dryer, volumizing mousse, and lightweight product like Supremo Magic Move Light.

Spiky hair can be styled Jersey Shore style or more formally, like above. Hair is styled forward from the back and then pulled straight up along the hair line. This tall hair is appropriate for work or special events.

Another great thing about medium length hair is that it can be worn tall. Use a strong product like Gatsby Moving Rubber to get this sky scraping slick hair. A spritz of hairspray like Sebastian Shaper Hair Spray or Paul Mitchell Fast Drying Sculpting Spray will set the style all day. Just hold the can a few inches away from hair and give it a light spray.

With undercut sides, it’s easy to get a mohawk for the day. It’s similar to wearing spiky hair but pinch hair together at the center rather than pulling it straight up.

The quiff is spiky hair that comes to a point at the front. Medium length adds extra personality to this outstanding hairstyle. For even more presence opt for a shiny finish product like American Crew Promade with plenty of hold that never makes hair greasy.

Haircuts for Men with Thick Hair – Almost Medium

The gift of thick hair does have a drawback – it can also be hard to control. Haircuts for men with thick hair need to tame unruly locks and look great. The key to this almost medium length hair for men is growing hair out. Longer hair has extra weight to keep hair in place as well as to more surface area for product to adhere to.

Styling products are also your friend. For thick locks, like with straight coarse hair, demands maximum hold. Opt for a strong hold pomade or wax, and stick with clay formulas that have a matte finish. And even more good news, stay away from the blow drier. The heat adds undesirable volume. So let hair air dry and if you do need to blow dry use the cool setting and hold the drier above the head and pointing down to encourage hair to lay flat against the head. Now enjoy that thick head of hair you’ve got!
