Haircuts for men that age well
It can be hard to find a hairstyle that not only makes you feel comfortable but will age well with you. Sometimes, you can start to absolutely love a hair trend, only to find that you grow out of it.
A great example of this was the "Bieber" hair - remember when we all thought that was a good idea?
So, what hairstyle should you ask for which will ensure that you don't look back on old photos and recoil? We've listed some of the most timeless haircuts for men, which you can ask for at your next barbershop appointment.
Textured volume
Yes, you can still grow out your hair and not look like you're trying to be a teen. In fact, this kind of hair is great for making your hair look fuller.
A little unknown secret that the secret to looking like you have fuller hair isn't necessarily how much you have but how much texture your cut gives you.
Next time you're getting a haircut in Bournemouth, make sure to ask the stylist to add texture to your hair. Then, using products you can easily push your hair up and it looks classic and natural.
A grown-out fade
Yes, this is a real look that you can strive for. Sometimes, a short fade isn't for everybody. So, you can ask for the Hemsworth kind of look and leave the sides a little longer.
This is one of those more rugged looks, which isn't for everybody, but still looks great if it's what you're into.
Styled quiff
This is one of the best options for those who are going a bit grey. When your hair becomes grey, it's texture also changes - it becomes more wirey and lacks moisture.
When this happens, it can be tempting to keep putting gels in your hair to make it look fuller and keep its shape, but this can just weigh it down.
Rather, switch to creams and oils which will help control your hair but also add moisture.
Close crop
Going for a full shave isn't for everybody - accepting that your hair isn't what it used to be can be difficult.
A super close crop can hide any hair loss while also being super low maintenance, and also looks smart. A perfect example of this is Kanye West.
Natural Waves
If you have natural waves, you should consider yourself lucky - even if styling your hair can seem impossible sometimes.
Wavy hair can add the appearance of volume and fullness, even when you might not have it there.
Keep your hair slightly shorter on the sides to keep it looking a little more polished, but longer on top to create a really great look.
A tad bit of length
Don't be afraid to grow your hair out, if that's what you feel like doing. Brad Pitt is a perfect example of how this can actually be a timeless, wonderful look.
Not all men's haircuts have to be short, and if thinning isn't an issue for you, it can look smart. At your barbershop, make sure to ask for layers and we would recommend keeping it above the shoulders.
The slick-back
The slick back seems risky for a lot of guys because as they get older their hair will thin and wet products can exasperate that. For instance, gels will cling to the hair and show more scalp than is desirable.
If you want the slick back hair, at your barbershop appointment, ask for everything to be kept to medium length. Contrary to popular belief, using longer hair to cover up bald spots isn't always the best idea
Use creams which will help keep everything in place all while adding moisture and build up volume.
High-hairline crop
The first place many men will begin to notice hair loss is the hairline. It's a common part of getting older, and male pattern baldness is totally natural.
If you are receding, you might need to try a more realistic look, and opt for Jude Law kind of hair cut. It's still attractive and looks much better than trying to hide it with defective techniques.
No more Bieber cuts or dramatic quiffs. These hair cuts will help you pick a timeless style that might even make your hair look fuller, and in turn adding more youth to your overall look.
Make your way to a Bournemouth Barbershop and ask for one of these looks. You won't regret it.
