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.

Robert Pattinson Hair

The gravity defying bed head-inspired Robert Pattinson hair comes from the right cut and styling tools and product. That’s right, this vampires use hair dryers. This hairstyle works best with fine to medium straight hair, though with extra hold product like Woody’s Quality Grooming Web Robert Pattinson Hair can help anyone get the look.

In the haircut, jagged layers help achieve this textured look. Messy hair should only be on top so keep the sides and back cut short or slick them back. To style the hair, dry shampoo adds volume and hold while absorbing oil without damaging hair.

Next up is gel, adding sparingly to avoid the crusty look that comes from using too much. Finally, a blowdryer will cut down styling time and help achieve height. To train hair to stand up, try blow drying with your head upside down and combing through hair with fingers. For more coiffed versions of this look, try one of these high volume quiffs.

Trendy Men Hairstyles

Fashion is always pitted against style. The real winner is a combination of the two – personalized by you to fit your particular taste and personality.

That’s what trendy men hairstyles are all about too – a classic take on the latest look.

Above, you can see how men’s hairstyle trends don’t have to fussy or finicky. Slicked back hair has been huge this year but if that’s not your thing, messy is also in.

Mens Medium Hairstyles – Wear it Messy!

Somewhere in between short and long, medium mens hair requires a different approach. When hair is short or long enough, little or no styling is required.

For a cool and easy to style look, wear hair messy like above. If your hair is thick or has some natural wave, this is the look for you.

Just rub in some product like Gatsby Technical Design Clay, American Crew Defining Paste, or Aveda Mens Pure-Formance Grooming Clay through clean dry hair and work it. The goal is to add some height while keeping hair off the forehead and out of the eyes.

For another smart look for medium hair, try slicking hair back or across. Or you can keep things simple with Jason Schwartzman’s long shaggy bangs look.

Wavy Hair Men – Medium Length

Consider yourself lucky if you have wavy hair men. Loose curls add fullness, look great messy, and even better styled. There is plenty of celebrity inspiration for men with wavy hair - Hugh Grant, Nick Jonas, and James Franco.

Here’s one hot way to rock wavy hair for men – medium length.

With wavy hair, you can cut it short or let natural curl or do its thing by wearing hair longer. Here, hair is a few inches on top and short around the sides for a clean cut and manageable look that can be styled lots of ways. Above, hair is air dried and worn slightly messy for a cool and carefree look.

To get the ultimate 2013 haircut, pair this wavy hair – men – with a shaved undercut.

Messy Hair Look

That ruffled surfer hair exudes effortless cool. It says you have better things to do than spend time on hair. If you didn’t just get done with your extreme sport of choice and want to look great, here’s how to get the messy hair look.

The key to every hairstyle is the underlying haircut. To get the perfectly messy hair look requires a textured cut, which means hair is cut to different lengths in different places.

Above, you can see how different length pieces sit at different angles, some longer and some shorter, for a tousled but not disheveled look. His hair is also undercut, with close cropped sides that accentuate the height of hair and keep the messy look clean cut.

The final piece of the puzzle is product. Starting with clean damp hair, you want to add a little of the right product for your hair type. The best products for messy hair are matte and give a piecey shaggy look. Try Garnier Fructis Surf Hair, FX Surf Head Paste, or for thicker hair TIGI Matte Separation Wax.
