The Samurai Bun:
We don’t think Rick Owens had a model at Paris Fashion week without a man bun. And, the fashion world isn’t the only place the Samurai bun is being embraced. A-List actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, Colin Farell, and Orlando Bloom have been spotted on and off the red carpet with this hairstyle.
The bun, usually perceived as a feminine style, looks anything but when done the right way. We really love the grizzly, bearded man version of this trend. For the man with a beard, we recommend a slicked back version of the Samurai bun paired with a slim fit suit. This look is simply striking.
Curly Hair:
If you have curly hair, you may think the hard to manage hair is a curse. But, you couldn’t be more wrong. Curls can be one of the greatest accessories you have, next to your facial hair of course. Cut them shorter or grow them into a long semi-fro. No matter your preference, just keep them long enough to tame into distinguishable curls. The trick is to have the right product to keep them from frizzing out.
Since most men don’t own hair dryers or curling irons, we have a simple recommendation that won’t require much work. After washing your hair simply put a bit of product, we recommend Bumble & Bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil, at the ends and length of your curls and be careful to avoid your scalp. That’s it! Now you have curls that straight hair people will envy.
The Undercut:
This is a great style for the afore-mentioned people that have straight hair. The first thing you need is a great barber. If you don’t have one already, we recommend you check out our story on the Best Barbershops in New York, or research your city on yelp for a barber with killer reviews.
The second step… buy some great hair product. When you have a styled hairstyle like this, the only way to keep it looking good all day is using something that makes it stick without looking sticky. That means investing in product that works well but doesn’t look like it; our recommendation, the pomade from Blind Barber’s Stay Handsome Regimen. Now thanks to a good barber and great product, you have hair that’s easy to manage and looks sexy.
