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.

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!
