Too Cool for School: 5 Best Men’s Hairstyles for Fall 2013

It’s official. With the passing of Labor Day, summer is on it’s way out. School is back in session and your boss is back from vacation. The best way to make the most of fall 2013 is get back to school and work in style. Here are the top 5 too cool for school mens hairstyles. And there’s one more item to add to the back to school/university/work shopping list: product.

If you already embraced the undercut this summer, it’s probably high time for a trim. The cut look best with regular upkeep, keeping those sides shaved tight. This time around, hang on to any extra length on the top and style it into this slicked across look.

For ultra fine hair like the gentleman above, stick to lightweight products with a matte finish. The high sheen finish that works for thick will just look greasy and flat. We recommend using a styling cream like men-u Create and Shape or ultra popular and versatile pomades from from American Crew or MenScience.

If you’re looking for a high style-low effort cut, keep things simple and short. This isn’t one of these free solar calculator back-to-school haircuts from Great Clips but an expertly textures and shaped number. Angled cutting on top and short sides give this short style an edge.Style it into a faux hawk with Caesar bangs as above, bedhead messy, or just leave it if you’re in a hurry.

The same mens hairstyles for 2013 work for curly and wavy hair. The undercut is an easy and cool way to tame unruly hair. With the back and sides freshly shaved, the top can left messy. Just add a little product to enhance curls, block frizz, and add control, like American Crew Curl Control, Kerastase Nutritive Oleo-Curl, or Kevin Murphy Easy Rider. Or for a no fuss-no muss cut, just go short.

The shaggy mop-top cut is always in style for rockers, artists, and guys with straight hair. For a modern update on the Beatlesque-indie hair, keep the bangs long and the back and sides short. To keep hair in place, work a light hold product through damp hair. American Crew Classic Ultramatte adds just enough hold while conditioning hair and protecting against damage.

Another style that is here to stay is Morissey and Johnny Cash-inspired high volume coif. Their epic hair matched their larger than life personas. If you want to make the same statement, keep growing hair long and find the right product and routine to get hair to stand straight up. This quiff is best suited to thick hair but can work for other hair types as well.

The first step in achieving this look is blow-drying. It down’t take long and makes hair more malleable, ready to do your bidding. Next, rub a strong hold product through hair. Kevin Murphy Night Rider will work for thick hair or use his Gritty Business formula for finer hair. Both are ultra malleable for easy touch ups throughout the day, have a matte finish, and easily wash out with water. Then, using finger and/or a fine tooth comb, work hair up all around.

Hipster Hair – Beard 2012

Don’t worry about what they call you, you know you’re looking good! This hipster hair is somewhere in between spiky and bed head. To get the look, skip a cut until short hair get some length. Then get this cool textured cut that looks great slicked back or spiked up. Be sure to go to a barber or stylist that specializes in mens hair to ensure this masculine cut. The trimmed beard complements the tousled style. To clean up the look, wear hair back or if you’re getting rid of the beard, keep going and get an undercut.

Mens Hairstyles With Beards

Beards aren’t just for play off season or pipe smokers anymore. From Zach Galifianakis to Bon Iver, beards have been embraced by the young and hipster. While a beard can be worn with any hairstyle, its important to consider proportion.

The best mens hairstyles with beards have balance. Here, a medium length hairstyle is paired with a close cropped beard and slightly longer moustache. The sideburns seamless transition between the two. This an attractive and low maintenance look. To keep it professional and alluring to women, make sure trim the beard regularly. With the start of Movember and winter on its way, its the perfect time to try out mens hairstyles with beards.

Barbershop vs Salon – Stylist Edition

For the best haircuts for men, both the barbershop and salon get great results. The salon won’t give you a straight razor shave or man cave experience, but there are still plenty of reasons to visit a stylist.

Here’s why:

1. Longer Hair - One of the reasons to go to a barber is for their expertise in classic short hairstyles. However if you have longer hair, thick hair, or curly hair - go to a stylist.

2. Style – Stylists know and love to cut modern and on trend hairstyles. Even if you don’t know what you want, other than to look good, a stylist can recommend a current look that also works with your facial features.

3. Product – We can’t stop talking about product. Whether you have short, long, curly, or straight hair – product ensures your hair looks its best and gives you lots of styling options. Salons carry their recommended brands and your stylist can help you find the best product for your hair type or the style you want to achieve – from slicked back to spiked up.

4. Color – For a natural look, only let experienced professionals color your hair. This is especially true for facial hair. Do you really want to trust your beard to Just for Men?

5. Clean-ups – Most salons will clean up the back of your neck between haircuts to keep you looking clean cut at no extra cost.

Medium Mens Hairstyles – 2012

What is the difference between short and medium mens hairstyles? Some say anything longer than a crew cut while others define it by the length of the sides. So, medium hair can refer to length all around the head or just on top. Either way, the extra length gives you lots of styling options. To keep hair looking great, be sure to invest in good products that are suitable for your hair texture and lifestyle.

You’ve seen lots of different ways to wear medium mens hairstyles 2012 on Chace Crawford, Zac Effron, and the Bieb. The look here coiffs medium hair into a version of the undercut, pulling the sides back and tight to the head. The top is combed straight back but not slicked. Other cool mens hair to try out with this length hair is messy or pointy spikes.

Short Back and Sides – Long on Top

The maxim “what’s old is new again” is true for fashion and hair. While hairstyles haven’t been returning with the same speed (how are the 90s already back?), retro and vintage hairstyles, like the classic short back and sides – long on top, have been dominating the 20-tweens.

Classic men’s hairstyles have jumped through the screen of top television shows (Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire) and onto the runways. Channeling the debonaire cool of the 1930s on, current hair trends have marked the return of style and sophistication to this decidedly casual era.

To get this hipster hair, all you need to ask for is “long on top, short back and sides.” Based on your preference and hair type, you can shorter on the back and sides, all the way down to the shaved undercut, and longer or shorter on top.

Whatever the length, this a great looking haircut with plenty of styling options. For the very now look, wear it slicked back, across, or up into a quiff. Or you can spike it, wear it messy, or do nothing at all.

Beards 2013: How to Grow A Beard

Once the defining feature of the unemployed slacker, beards 2013 are cool, hip and sexy. You’ve seen short versions on Ryan Gosling and longer ones on all the indie bands.

Whether your look is hipster, vintage, clean cut or somewhere in-between, here’s how to grow a beard.

1. Commit to the beard! That means no shaving for a minimum of 4 weeks and up to 6 weeks. If you’re concerned about look scraggly or scruffy, start growing your beard over a long weekend or holiday.

Keep on growing even if you think you know what you want your beard to be. You may be pleasantly surprised by how facial hair fills in and go for a fuller and longer beard than you first thought.

2. Ignore the comments. Everyone’s got an opinion. Don’t let surprise, reactions, or negative comments bother you. Even though beards are back, people are generally averse to change. On the other hand, don’t let compliments sway you if you’re not into the beard.

Either way, get through the initial month and make up your mind then.

3. Stay fresh. Skin that is used to the cleansing and sloughing of regular shaves may start to feel itchy with the new presence of beard hair. This is a temporary adjustment phase and not an indication of that something is wrong.

Keep skin clean with a gentle shampoo or face wash. There are dedicated beard products from Bluebeardsand Jenulence that are are gentler on facial skin and formulated for exposure to foods, drinks, and smoke.

Be sure to wash out the products thoroughly and gently pat the beard dry with a towel.

If skin is still sensitive, rub some moisturizer or oil (jojoba oil is a great multi-purpose cleanser and conditioner) into skin before bed.

4. Shape the beard. So it’s been at least 4 weeks without shaving. Now it’s time to shape the beard. Usually the cheek line, where the beard transitions into the skin of the cheeks is best left natural. You may want to remove obvious strays.

You will want to clean up your beard at the neck line, under the chin and around the neck. If you’re concerned about doing this yourself, many barbers have experience styling beards.

Otherwise, generally aim to clean up any obvious scraggly hairs at the neck. This area is concealed beneath the chin so it’s hard to do significant damage.

The final area of the beard that can be groomed is around the lips. Long hair can start to get in the way of the mouth so keep the moustache area trimmed.

5. Grooming. If you’re happy with your beard, save yourself time and hassly by investing in a beard trimmer. Get a good one that is precise and easy to use, like the Philips Norelco All-In-One Grooming System, Panasonic Milano, or Remington MB-200. You’re saving lots of money on expensive razors and haircuts so don’t skimp on this purchase.

On a daily basis, use a wide toothed comb or brush to remove tangles and gently shape the beard.

6. Keep growing. Now that you have a great beard, keep going! You can go for the clean mountain man look that is seen on more and more models. Or go for an amazing moustache.

7. Shaving. If you want to get rid of your beard or transition into a moustache, the easiest way is to use beard trimmers to remove as much hair as possible. You can use scissors as well but be careful!

Finish with a regular shave (or two) and your chin is back.

What is a Stylish and Professional Hipster Hair Style?

Hello, I have visited your website so many times but I don’t know what kinds of hairstyle will suit me. Can you suggest a haircut? I am thinking of a hipster hair style which looks stylish at the same time professional. I have short hair that is thick and coarse but am growing it longer. I hope I would get the best outcome!! Thank you! - Kushal

Hi Kushal,

I want to suggest to you number one men’s haircut of 2013 works for all hair types and face shapes while being stylish and professional. I don’t know how long your hair is but this cut should work while you are growing your hair longer. I’ll start by showing you this excellent hipster haircut and describe how to make if work for you.

Haircuts this seasons play with the long on top-short sides and back by wearing hair extra long and tall on top and shaving sides into an undercut. There are many variations on this cut that work for shorter hair as well as hair that tends to wave or curl. The sides can also be worn longer or shorter, depending on how much you want to emphasize the undercut or blend in at work.

Below is the same cut styled for work. All it takes is bringing down the height and messiness. You can also wear hair slicked straight back or across for an even more professional and formal look.

Another way to make this cut fit in at a more corporate work environment is to wear the undercut lower on the head, so it stops at the top of the ears rather than at the forehead. There are many examples in this latest mens hairstyles gallery.

Bring a photo or several with you to a stylist or barber and they will customize the cut for your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle. They can also recommend the best products to get the look. For coarse hair, we recommend the strong hold power of  Bumble and Bumble Sumo Tech or Sebastian Microweb Fiberand Gatsby Moving Rubber Spiky Edge Hair Wax for very hard to style hair.

Last but not least, looking professional is more about staying clean cut than any particular hairstyle. Make sure that hair is clean and styled everyday and to get regular trims to clean up the sides of hair and especially the neck area. With good grooming, the most hip and stylish cuts are work appropriate.

Hipster Hair: The Product to Use

Whether you wear it slick or spiked, hipster hair is the must have look for 2013. The only question is what product to use?

Here’s how to style hipster hair for men and the best pomade.

Baxter of California has been making grooming products for men since 1965 with ahead of their time natural ingredients that remain popular today. To get just the look you want, for every hair type, by mixing and matching different formulas, like:

Baxter of California Clay Pomade provides strong hold with a matte finish with the subtle fragrance of beeswax, fennel oil, and sage oil.

Baxter of California Cream Pomade provides lighter hold that keeps every hair in place. This formula works for fine hair that tends to be frizzy as well as moisturizes curly and wavy hair.

These products can be used a few different ways. As usual, rub a small amount of pomade between hands and work through hair.  Apply to damp hair for the wet look with a shiny finish or to dry hair for a natural looking matte finish.

Use more pomade for extra hold, taller styles like the pompadour, and thick hair. The pliable product can be reshaped and worked throughout the day or night as required. Customize your style, hold, and finish by blending the two products in various ratios.

Undercut – Cool Asian Hair

The undercut is one of the coolest hairstyles of 2012-2013. The hipster hair looks different with every hair texture – whether it’s curly, thick, or straight as an arrow. This cool Asian hair is a longer, possibly grown out, version of the undercut hairstyle. Sides are cropped to an eighth of an inch with the top kept up to two inches long. This cool yet clean cut look styles hair up and just a bit back. Get a classy look by styling it slicked back or opt for a textured look for the weekend.

Classic Hairstyles for Men – The Clark Kent

Classic hairstyles for men are always in style. You can wear this short mens hair conservative or hip. The Clark Kent look is a good short hairstyle for men with thick hair. At the sides, hair is cut to a manageable length, about an inch long. Robust hair is left to do it’s thing on top. The extra length gives more surface area for product to work, adding the extra hold that thick hair needs.

For work, wear hair as shown above – brushed back with just enough pomade to hold hair in place. At night, use a wax for stronger hold and some shine with slicked back hair. Or spike hair up for fun. To complete the transition to Superman, remove the specs and part hair on the left side.
