Good Looking Hairstyles for Men With Thick Hair
- Men's short hair cut
Decide on the length of hairstyle you want. Your new hairstyle can range from a super short buzz cut to a mid-length cut with layers. Keep in mind the longer the hairstyle the more work it may require to maintain and style. Opt for shorter cuts to portray a more business-like or professional image. Longer hairstyles can work for a more casual work environment provided the cut is modern and styled well. - Choose short hairstyles for easy maintenance and quick styling. Thick hair lends itself well to a men's hairstyle cut very short with clippers on the sides and back while leaving an extra inch or two of length on top for styling. The result is a clean looking but trendy cut that makes short work of styling your thick hair. Use a gel or pomade to style the longer hair on top. Keep it laying low with a bit of lift in the bangs for a professional look or spike it up for an edgier style. TV personality Carson Daly's hairstyle is a good example of the lifted bang look, while Nick Lachey's spiked hairstyle shows off what a little gel can do.
- Opt for a medium-length hair cut if short is not your style. Longer, layered hair that covers your ears and sits past your collar still looks great on many men provided it's cut and styled properly. Don't skip the layers. One-length thick hair will end up looking like a rat's nest, so do have long layers added to your medium length haircut. This is called a shag hairstyle. Think of Owen Wilson or Jesse Spencer's hairstyles as good examples of a good-looking mid-length hairstyle for men.
Have your stylist thin your hair with thinning shears or a straight razor. Thinning out your thick hair will not remove any more length, but will instead remove "bulk" from your hairstyle. The result is a more shaped and easily managed style. Use styling products to help hold your style in place such as hair gel or styling wax. Go for a slightly tousled look with separated layers. Do not use mousse, as it will crate more body in your hair; something thick hair doesn't need.
