Men's Hairstyles: 2014
The Messy Slick
Classic: Slicked-back hair made a comeback in recent years following the popularity of period television series like Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire. The slick remains an option in 2014, but this year it’s a little
more casual. For a controlled take on this hairstyle, follow Justin
Timberlake’s lead and comb medium-length hair back using a nickel-size
amount of gel. Don’t worry if the ends are not perfect — that’s the idea
here. As long as there are no flyaways on the top of your head, you’re
good to go.
Trendy: Longer
layers bring a bad-boy attitude to this hairstyle, particularly when
contrasted with tailored looks. To get a rebellious look like Charlie
Hunnam, you’ll need to spend time growing out your hair if it’s on the short side. Once you have pieces that are a little longer than ear length, ask your
barber to chop in a few easy-to-maintain layers. At home, grab a
wet-look gel and run it through your front and sides using your hands
to achieve an undone yet polished appearance.The Moderate Quiff
Classic: The
quiff is essentially an updated 1950s-style pompadour in which front
locks are longer than the hair on the rest of the head. It’s been going
strong in recent years as one of the most in-demand cuts for men who
take style seriously. After getting the cut right, you’ll need to use gel
or pomade along with a blow dryer to coax your hair into defying
gravity. The key here is to begin with as little product as possible,
only adding extra when necessary, as the most common mistake men make styling their hair is to use too much product, which leaves hair flat and oily.
Trendy: A very 2014 way to interpret the quiff is shown by Zayn Malik. The performer keeps the under layer and sides of his hair cropped very close to his
head. Hair on the crown and the front are then brushed upward as well
as toward the side using the same blow dry and product application
method required to create a classic quiff.The Crown
Classic: Whether
you’re opting for the classic or the trendy take on this men's
hairstyle, the defining feature is that the volume is concentrated on
the crown with sides being flatter in comparison. For a conservative version,
opt for a simple, clean cut like Drake’s, where the overall length is
short and hair on the crown is only marginally more full than the sides.
Make sure to get regular trims in order to keep the look sharp.
Trendy: If
you like to switch things up in order to stay at the top of your game,
then take a cue from UFC fighter Jon Jones. Begin by growing your hair
out to a medium length. During the growth phase, ensure that you keep
the sides of your head shaved nearly to a buzz. Curly-haired guys may
want to add a dab of gel or natural oil (like coconut oil) to the top of
their head to control frizz.The Roman Warrior
Classic: This
haircut is low-maintenance and works best with short- to medium-length
hair. Plus, because to its square shape, it has the added bonus of
emphasizing masculine features such as a strong jawline or creating the
illusion of a more prominent one. For a classic version of this style,
get your barber to clip the hair on the crown of your head to a
fairly uniform length, but keep the sides a bit shorter. On your own,
use a dab of sculpting cream to finger-style the top of your mane
forward, to smooth down the sides and to prevent unruliness.
Trendy: This
men's hairstyle has a very natural look about it and is a great option
for men with curly or wavy hair who don't want to spend time fussing
with their hair. The trendier way to wear the Roman Warrior is like
Wimbledon champion Andy Murray. Medium-length hair is required here,
with strands being about the same length on the crown as they are on the
sides. A sharply square hairline should be maintained across the
forehead and sideburns can extend to mid-ear like Murray’s. If your hair
is well-behaved, you won’t even need any hairstyling products with this cut, so just brush and go.The Straight Up
Classic: This hairstyle is a mash-up of retro 'dos from the 1950s and 1990s. The classic version, as sported by Daniel Dae Kim in Hawaii Five-0,
veers more toward a 1950s rock ‘n' roll look. With this haircut,
locks should be slightly longer in front compared to the crown and
the back of your head, and the sides should be short. An egg-size
amount of mousse or other volumizing product should then be applied to
the front and crown, using a brush or a comb to create height. Keep the
look classy by ensuring there are no strands out of place on the top of
your head.
Trendy: For
a fashion-forward take on the Straight Up, fast-forward 40 years into
the 1990s. Like performer Robin Thicke, you’ll want medium-length
strands everywhere but your sides, which should be kept cropped quite
close to your head. Use fingers or a comb and a sculpting cream to move
hair both upward and toward the center. Hair should remain touchable
rather than stiff. The point is to create a mild peak like Thicke’s —
without going into '90s boy band territory.The Sideways Fringe
Classic: A prominent fringe comes and goes regularly in the world of men's grooming,
and for 2014 it is most definitely back in style. If you belong to the
over-30 crowd, a more natural variant on this style — such as the one
sported by Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill — will suit you
best. Go for medium-length locks and then part your hair using
the center of your eye as a guideline for where the part should begin.
Brush hair over to one side using a little molding cream (if you need
to) in order to make it stick. Don’t be too picky about making the part
perfect; you’re after a very effortless style.
Trendy: Men
in their 20s with a full head of relatively straight strands, like
Tumblr founder David Karp, will fare best with the more stylized version
of the Sideways Fringe. This style requires a long front, but the
sides can vary in length from short to medium-long like Karp. The point
is that there should be no hard lines with this haircut; everything
should blend softly together. Sweep strands over to one side and use a
pinky finger’s dab of pomade to hold it in place and to add shine.The Retro Wave
Classic: You’ll
likely need a blow dryer to pull off this '80s throwback hairstyle, so
stop reading now if you’re afraid of a grooming challenge. Begin by
running a sculpting mousse through damp, medium-length hair. Next, make a
part just before the end of your eyebrow on one side. Blow dry your
locks using a round bristle brush to lift hair up and over for a
windswept appearance. Spray the end result with a light coating of
hairspray to ensure that your 'do doesn’t fall flat during the day (or
night).
Trendy: The
trendier way to test drive the Retro Wave involves additional volume
and piecey-ness. Check out Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan’s
hairstyle to get an idea of how to make this look work for you. You’ll
still need medium-length hair and a blow dryer, but now you’ll also need
a product like a molding paste to add texture (hint: look for the word
texture on the label). Apply only a small amount and use your fingers as
well as a brush to shape your locks. Hair that’s slightly out of place
is perfectly fine as it adds dimension.Whether you have an office job, work in a creative field or are a student on a budget, our compilation of 2014’s most sought-after men's hairstyles has something for every guy.
