Hey men, are you looking to do something different with your hairstyle ? Now may be the perfect time to do so.
The Holidays are here once again and you know what that means? Your girlfriend or spouse is already thinking about what to wear to whatever shindigs you may be attending this year. AND how to do a little different twist to her look by changing up her hairstyle a bit. Whether a color change, new hairstyle, or new way of styling her hair you can be sure she will be doing SOMETHING different.
“A little hairstyle
change can go a long way on men”
Now admit it, don’t you like it when she changes things up a bit and shows another side of her beauty? Well, the Holidays are a perfect time for you to take such leaps of faith and do something a bit different with your hairstyle too. Now I’ll be the first to admit, a radical hairstyle change isn’t for all men, and I’ll even go out on a limb and say it may not be for a majority of men.
The most important thing with a style change for men is that you stay true to your nature. Wear a style you are comfortable with. If you’ve got a bit of flair hiding in there and have the confidence to pull it off, your gal pal, as well as others will surely take note.
Take a look here at what Steve Elias, California hairdresser and NAHA winner, has come up with when asked by American Salon Magazine to bring on the classic looks of Cary Grant or Rock Hudson with a modern twist. If you have a desire to be able to change your hairstyle, these changes can be achieved mostly by learning how to use a flat-iron and a round brush with your hair dryer.
Ask your hairdresser to walk you through how to achieve a certain style that appeals to you. Your girlfriend or spouse may also be a good resource for teaching you how to use hair styling tools and the right hair care product.
For this change up to a more groomed finished hairstyle, Elias first flat-ironed the hair and then added products that would hold the hairstyle in place and give it shine. He used Aveda Men Pure-Formance Grooming Clay and Pomade.
A severe side part, using Liquid Pomade and finishing with Grooming Clay was all Elias needed in this models straight hair to achieve this hairstyle.
Blow-dried again using a small amount of Liquid Pomade and a paddle brush.
In this look, Elias used Grooming Cream on wet hair and blow-dried. Use either a vent brush or an oval bristle brush, not to smooth out all natural wave.
Again a flat-iron was used after blow-drying smooth. Then a lot of Liquid Pomade was used to give a shiny, slicked-back look.
