Popular hair styles for men
Although traditionally associated with the fairer sex, the idea of
sporting a particular hair style has indeed emerged in a major way with
the realization of the metro sexual male identity all over the world. A
series of hair styles or cuts that have surfaced as popular ones are
being listed below though one must remember two key points. Firstly
these are not water tight compartments and that the stylists or barbers
can always improvise upon the existing pattern to render a fresher look.
1. Though predominant among men of African origin, 360 waves have
succeeded in gaining popularity among every cross section of the youth.
The natural outline of firm waves and ridges that result in a 360
pattern throughout is the reason for the style’s nomenclature.
2. Bald is certainly a rage through the ages. Whether it is a result
of natural hair loss or adopting artificial means, movie stars from Yul
Brynner, Telly Savalas to Bruce Willis has at some point or other
resorted to this particular ‘style’.
3. Leaving a careless mope of hair spread on the forehead in the
manner of a fringe is also quite a popular style among men especially
the youngsters. The style is more popularly referred to as the bangs and
can range from anything like solid and full to even wispy and textured.
4. Materializing as a solution to economic crisis in terms of cutting
hair during the depression era America, the bowl cut has successfully
made its place among the popular hair styles through the years. The name
of the cut has its root in the practice of positioning a bowl on the
head and chopping off the entire hair that will stick out from under it.
5. Weaving the entire mass of hair in to a range of styles that may
vary from braids sported in a particular or manifold arrangement or
stiff braids worn with an elaborate pattern of parts near to the scalp.
Braids are usually seen to be sported by the hip hop stars and their
fans as well.
6. Shaving off the entire head leaving just one solid streak of hair
like that of Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver is called Mohawk and is
certainly one of the most popular styles that has almost become a craze.
Today it is one of the most common sights at a football stadium in the
galleries.
7. Those who prefer growing their hair long, pageboy is THE style for
them. Exemplified best by the Heavy Metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, this cut
involves keeping a uniform length of hair all over curled below about
the base. |
