Go Retro with Men’s Rockabilly Hairstyles

Modern rockabilly culture hearkens back to a simpler age of sock hops and country fairs. Rockabilly music is based on the country and bluegrass styles of Elvis and Johnny Cash. Today, there are many rockabilly conventions where you can buy antiques and rockabilly clothes, listen to 1950’s music, and dance the night away. Most people go to these conventions in period clothes, which, of course, includes men’s rockabilly hairstyles.

Men’s rockabilly hairstyles are those that were popularized by great entertainers like the Rat Pack and Elvis Presley. Because the 1950’s were a conservative time in men’s fashion, men’s rockabilly hairstyles are easy to achieve today, even if you prefer a more modern styling for everyday wear.

The basis of men’s rockabilly hairstyles is the pompadour. A pompadour is cut longer on the top and short on the sides and back. You should style your pompadour with grease or pomade. After you have washed your hair, comb in a small handful of grease. You can use a pocket comb or your fingers for the purpose.

Never slick your hair straight back with the grease. Instead, comb it up and let your hair fall naturally back on the top of your head. This will create the height required for a pompadour. If you would rather not coat your head in grease, you can use hair gel and a blow dryer to achieve the same look. Apply gel to your roots immediately after getting out of the shower and then blow dry your hair upside down to create the height you need.

If you don’t fancy the height of the pompadour, you can create another men’s rockabilly hairstyle by slicking your hair straight back. Again, this method is traditionally accomplished with grease but can be substituted with a wet look hair gel. With both the slick back and the pompadour method you can either part your hair slightly off-center or eschew the part altogether. Men’s rockabilly hairstyles are a great option for a classic men’s hairstyle look or for dressing up for your favorite country or bluegrass concert.

The Most Popular Hairstyles for Men This Season

By | May 8, 2010

With 2011 rapidly approaching many men are considering the changes they want to make for the New Year. One thing lots of men vow to change is their hairstyle. However, finding the right men’s hairstyle for 2011 requires a little research not to mention consideration of one’s own style, face, and more. The following discussion of men’s hairstyles for the coming year just might give you some ideas for your own hair or at least help you decide what you don’t want!

For 2011 the classic cuts that have been popular forever remain in style. This is good news for those men who have classic cuts and don’t really want to change but like to be in style. It’s also good news for all the men who need a new hairstyle and a classic short cut suits their face and style.

The Caesar cut has been in style for a few years and it will remain that way for 2011. This cut is traditionally short all over with the bangs pushed forward and upward. Gel and mousse mixed together is a great way to keep the Caesar cut in place for the day without making the hair look glassy or without movement. The Caesar look is perfect for young men who are in college or even young to middle age professionals. The Caesar look goes great with preppy clothes and a freshly shaved face.

Another take on the Caesar cut is a similar style that is short yet spiked all over. This can easily be accomplished by having the hair cut fairly short and then gelling it all over. The hair will spike with little effort and is a great way to look youthful and carefree. This is a great style for men who are still studying or have yet to enter the workforce. It’s a fun hairstyle, but not really a professional one.

A cool men’s hairstyles for 2011 will be a short allover cut complemented by gelled bangs that go up and back. They don’t stick straight up like in years past, but are rather gelled backwards a bit. They don’t lie flat against the head, but they don’t stick up either. This gives a fresh approach to a short hairstyle.

Perfectly styled hair is out for 2011 and messy hair is back in. That means a medium length hairstyle should be washed, slightly dried, and then “messed” with gel or paste. This purposely messy look is cool and fun and is a great option for all men in 2011. Who doesn’t want to look like they have just spent an hour with a woman running their hands through his hair?

Also, hair that is longer is a cool look for 2011. Men who like longer styles should go for a long layered look rather than an all over layered style. The hair should fall just a bit past the shoulders and be off the face. This is a super stylish look if it is cut correctly so if you want a long style make sure you go to a salon and not a barber.

Finally, before you decide on a hairstyle for 2011 you need to consider your face shape, your style, where you work, and the perception you want to give. If you want to look like the professional lawyer you are then a classic conservative cut might be the best option. However, if you are a new member of a rock band then a longer more trendy style might be the best choice for you. There are lots of things to take into consideration when considering a 2011 hairstyle, but finding what is right for you won’t be so difficult if you just check out the styles and choose one that fits you!

All about Mens Military Haircuts

For most men, the ideal hairstyle is one that is not only extremely fashionable and versatile.  More important for most men is the fact that they are able to have a hairstyle that requires very little or no maintenance at all.  This is the reason why mens military haircuts are extremely popular whether they belong in the military or not.

Mens military haircuts are called as such because they look very much like the prescribed haircuts for military personnel who were required to wear extremely short hair.  Because men in the military are being trained to be ready for combat at any point in time, cadets and military officers are required to wear these extremely short hairstyles to ensure that they would not have to worry about maintaining their hair whether they are assigned in a comfortable military base or out on the field for months at a time.  That is because you do not need any styling products and spend long periods of time styling your hair.  You can also maintain the length of your hair on your own.  All you would just need is just a trusty electronic hair clipper to do the job for you, making it a well-loved hairstyle among men of all ages and of different hair types.

While all mens military haircuts are characterized by their extremely short hair length, there are a number of different variations that have become a fashion statement.  One such variation is the high and tight cut or the buzz cut.  Named after the buzzing sound made by hair clippers when they get this haircut, the tight cut provides a just-barely-there look for men of all ages.  The hair is clipped up to just one sixteenth of an inch, and is even a great way to conceal premature baldness brought about by excessive hair loss.

The flat top is another of the different variations of mens military haircuts now becoming in fashion.  Here, the hair on the crown of your head is shaved up to about half and inch to about an inch from the scalp.  The hair located on the sides of the head is then cleanly shaved.  These are ideal for those that want to get a wash-and-go hairstyle but not really want to go to the extent of appearing bald.
