Medium Hairstyles for Men
Medium-length hairstyles, while seeming to be the current trend with
teenagers and 20 something guys, work well on a lot of men. These
hairstyles are generally “shaggy” in style since they are achieved with
the growth stage between lengths of short and long hair. A medium-
length hairstyle usually falls around the mid-cheek in the front, but
can be slightly shorter or longer. This is not necessarily a structured
hairstyle. It gives you the chance to play with it a bit by highlighting
the texture of your hair.
One quite popular medium-length hairstyle for men is the shaggy look.
While not being a full blown mop hairstyle, it has a rather boyish charm
that gets noticed. To achieve one of these hairstyles, do some planning
ahead. If your hair is already short, and you want to let it grow into a
medium-length style, have some layering done. All over cuts can simply
lie flat, but if you get a mix of different lengths, it will create a
whole new look for you. In addition, for fine hair or hair that just
wants to lay there, you have a wide array of styling products available
to you for improving the look. Slight waves and textures can be
emphasized by using a sculpture lotion for thicker hair, and a lighter
mousse for thin hair.
A great medium-length hairstyle for men comes from texturing. The
style possibilities are endless and can be flattering to all face
shapes. By having your longer hair textured to a medium length, you can
achieve the style that is right for you as it is such a versatile cut.
This works great whether you have straight or curly hair. It can be
tapered so it is shorter at the bottom, with most of the hair near the
top of your head.
If you were born with naturally wavy hair, a medium-length hairstyle
will work out great for you. You can use its natural bounce in any
medium-length hairstyle you choose to try. The waves can be fashioned in
such a way as to frame your face, especially when using the proper hair
styling products. Using the right finishing product can keep your hair
from turning into a frizzy mess. Hair serum can keep your hair from
drying out. Try some styling wax to add more definition to your natural
wave.
While your hair is growing out, it may seem to be unmanageable for
awhile. Don’t worry. All you have to do is mess it up a little, or a
lot. It just depends on what style will best accentuate your hair’s
natural look, whether that is fine, coarse, thick, or wavy. You can make
your medium-length hair keep a little more shape by getting it trimmed
regularly, without going short. Having your hair stylist taper and
texture your hair occasionally will keep this medium-length hairstyle
looking great all the time.
A medium-length hairstyle for men doesn’t HAVE to be messy, though.
If you are striving for a more coiffed look, try a medium-length smart
cut with some specific styling. This can give you just the sophisticated
look you want. Swept to one side, your hair can then be “finger-combed”
if you want to add a little texture to it.
If you are one of those men who have kinky or wild hair, you will
definitely want to check out what a refined afro style can do for your
look. This medium-length hairstyle is a lot easier to maintain than
other more processed ones. It can also be very flattering to your face.
Start with a full, but slightly rounded haircut. This will immediately
give you a very natural appearance. From there, it’s up to you how you
choose to wear it. However, to keep it looking its best, you will want
to try some deep-conditioning treatments.
The medium-length hairstyle for men is one that begs for
experimentation. For example, if you have decided to have some length at
the front of your hair, you can typically tuck this part behind your
ears. You may also want to try a length that is shorter on the sides and
longer in back. The options are limitless, and with the right cut and
styling products, you will create a look that is just right for you. |
