Some men think that they don’t ever have to change hair looks. They find a cut in junior high and stick with that for the next 20 or 40 years… or forever! And sometimes, there’s just no arguing with them about it because they think it’s too girly to change their hair.
But plenty of men do want to stay up-to-date in fashion, shoes, and hair trends. So this post is for them (or for the significant others who love them!). What are the latest and greatest hair trends for men in 2008?
This can vary widely, depending on the region where you live. In the Midwest, there seems to be a strong favor for extremes—either shaved bald or longer-than-average. The bald look is pretty self explanatory so no need to go too far into that other than to say, if you choose it, you better keep up with it. Head stubble is not sexy.
If you’re going for the longer hair look, there’s a lot more to take into consideration. Especially if a guy has had short hair for most of his life, there may be some surprises as to the shape and texture of a guy’s hair when it grows out a bit. It might start to curl a bit, which can be alarming at first. Or a cowlick may appear or become more pronounced, as the hair is growing out.
Long hair with a wave or curl can readily lend itself to a surfer or rock guy look. Long straight hair can look very punk or alternative, depending on if it’s long enough for a small ponytail.
Another way to wear longish hair for guys is to keep it a little bit longer on top than on the sides. With this look, you can use a hair product like a light gel or some sort of texturizing mud or spray to kind of make the top look “choppy.”
Most importantly, if you need help, ask for it!
