Whether you have a long hair or a short hair there are lots of men hairstyles to choose from. Some are very simple, others are elegant while others can be sophisticated…but for sure there is one out there that fits with your style and personality.
The Close Shave
If you like your hair really short but without having to go bald, then this is the right choice for you! It is called “the close shave” and a great example of a celebrity with this hairstyle is Jamie Foxx. He looks refined and elegant in his red carpet outfits but also laid–back in the daily street wear. This hairstyle suits a guy with a varied lifestyle and it will complement any look you try to pull off. The “close shave” says that you are a refined man that has order and structure in his professional life and likes to be the center of the party in his personal life.
The Total Shave
Many of you may not like the idea of losing all the hair before the natural time and might me scared by the idea of going completely bald. But as many black men are showing, having a total shave is nothing to fear of. A great example is the singer, model and actor Tyrese Gibson who is proudly showing his shiny bald head and still looking great! This hairstyle says that you have lots of confidence and sex appeal and the biggest advantage is that you don’t have any hair to look after. You will have much more time for other activities and also for choosing the right outfits.
The Well-coiffed Afro
If shaved hair doesn’t suit you, then why not work with your long natural hair? While you might not like an afro hairstyle either, the well-coifed afro style can be a great choice for the urban man style. A great example is Lenny Kravitz which has a hairstyle that mixes longer natural hair with a nice rock star style. We could also call this hairstyle the “mini afro” and it can be a great choice for anyone, from students to more professional people. Be careful because now you will have to make your outfits as trendy as this hairstyle!
The Short Dreads
The long and unkempt dreadlocks are not trendy at all but if you really want to have them, then you should adopt this sharp and stylish way. A great example of a celebrity wearing “the short dreads” is Kele Okereke. While his hair may look random and unkempt, we can assure you that there is a lot of work involved to have that “organized chaos”. This hairstyle suits for the young urban man and will look best with some laid-back casual clothes.
Your hair should definitely represent your style and personality but it should also be in touch with the latest trends in fashion. It should make you look cool and trendy and not throw you back in the 90’s. So cornrows are definitely not a good choice!
Whenever you are looking for a nice hairstyle and you don’t know which one to choose, simply look at what the Hollywood celebrities are wearing!
