For slick and smooth short hair
Many of the past year hair trends focused much on hard machismo, formal hair styles for 2010 are more inclined towards conservative and classic, this is typical of the Hugh's mane metamorphosis from uncontrolled, wild style he took up as Wolverine; to his cropped cut he proudly spotted on the Oscars and you will realize the direction that men's hair style in taking.
Want a similar look? No problem, go to your barber and have your hair trimmed on the sides using clippers a week prior to the special event. Request the barber to snip the top layers in a jagged manner, this basically done to balance the hair and make it look neat.
When the big day comes, apply some gel " Aveda Men Pure-Formance Firm Hod Gel" is recommended, use a pea sized amount and thoroughly rub all over your head. If you don't have Aveda then any drugstore brand will suffice. The advantage of using Aveda is that it styles and nourishes the hair. Once done applying gel, use a fine hair comb to brush the sides of your hair back and down. Life up the front a little bit to keep the style in place.
Short hair is always easy to maintain and this could explain the fact why it's been highly adopted by men in 2010. With short hair you're okay with simple styling and natural color, no more fuss! Short hair is best worn in uniform length; give it a light mousse. You also require a brush, better one with boar bristles which is better than a comb.
When using a hair styling product, be careful not to overdose the hair if you want a naturally groomed style. Apply small amounts of mousse throughout your head then run your brush lightly over the mane to put everything in place. The final result should be less sticky and great looking.
If you have medium length hair then a swept back look is good for you, this one requires a bit more time and is more engaging than the styles listed above. You will need styling cream, blow dryer - two temp setting preferred, paddle brush and hair spray. You'll require a good comb styling cream which should be applied to the hair and then the hair blow dryed creating volume in the front. Finish the style by holding hair spray 6 inches from the head and apply a fine mist then blast the blow dryer to keep it set an din place.
