Men’s 2009 Hair Styles
Men’s hair styles go in cycles as do women’s style. This century is seeing contemporary versions or redux if you will of haircuts we saw in the last century. Thus when it comes to men’s hair styles we are once again seeing those old hair styles with a new twist. There are two distinct categories of style that are going to dominate the hair style scenes in 2009. The first category is the school boy look and the second category is the rocker book. Both find their roots (noun intended) in 19th century Britain. The fringed bang is also very popular with men’s hair styles this year. The beauty is that the fringe trend comes in a variety of shapes so you are going to be able to play with the look so that it suits the shape of your face. Whatever the bangs look like the idea is to keep it shorter on the back and sides. There are two types of fringes that dominated the catwalk. One was the side swept fringe where the hair is parted on either the right or left. The other is the more like a bang that goes right down to the brow. The Caesar cut, pioneered by George Clooney in the series ER is also back. This is the cut where the hair is brushed straight forward into bangs from the crown. Russell Crow has also been known to the front of the head. The overall effect depends on using a pomade or matte wax to create a slightly rugged texture to the hairdo. The great thing about this cut is that you can also make it into a completely rugged hairdo by rubbing wax through it so that you look like you have a chic case of “bed head.” The Slick Back type of classic cut is also back. This is the type of hair cut you used to see on actors like George Mason and it is the haircut that George Clooney wears nowadays. The cut is very simple and every barber knows how to do it. Usually it is slicked back with a hair product like Beryl Cream. In fact the older the school the slick back product is the better this trendy yet also classic haircut is going to look. How the Slick Back Cut looks can also depend on whether or not your hair is wavy or straight. Guys with straight hair need a longer length of hair left on top. Guys with wavy hair should go for shorter hair on top with a few inches in length left depending on the pervasiveness of your wave. Along with this haircut comes a part called the Classic Part which is way over to the side of the head on either the left or the right. Think of the kind of part you would see on Cary Grant of the Duke of Windsor and you get the idea.
