Curly Undercut
The Cut: Take short back and sides to the extreme and let the volume do the talking. This style is great for adding a bit of height and slimming down your face. To achieve the look, use a high grade clipper for the back and sides but keep a longer length on top.
The Style: Dry hair from roots up using a vent brush to lift the hair upwards and backwards. Once dry, use pomade to hold your curls in place and give them a natural shine.
Curly Side Part
The Cut: The curly side part works best on thicker hair with natural volume. Ask your barber to trim your hair shorter down each side and leave a long length on top.
The Style: As with the curly undercut, dry hair from roots up using a vent brush to lift the hair but pull up and to the side instead of backwards. Use your hands to style hair to one side. Once dry, use pomade for hold and a natural shine.
Wavy Fringe
The Cut: For this look, you can go for high or low grade on the back and sides as long as you keep most of the length at the top. Blend the hair on top using scissors with the longest length at the front, getting shorter towards the crown.
The Style: Begin by applying a small amount of curl enhancing mousse to your hair when damp. Then lightly scrunch with your fingers as you dry to help create the relaxed waves. Once dry, use a texturising product to style your fringe into place. For added staying power, finish off with a light hold spray.
Slicked Back
The Cut: This style works with an undercut or medium length hair with wavy to loose curls.
The Style: Using your fingers, apply a super-hold pomade evenly throughout your hair. If you’re using originalpomade, you’ll have to use a substantial amount more product to hold the hair in place. Dampen your hair with a bit of water and start lightly pushing your hair back with your fingers, running them through your hair each time, until you achieve your desired look.
Windswept Waves
The Cut: This style works best on medium length hair. Opt for a trim rather than a shave. The sides and back should also be cut using only scissors. If your hair is naturally thick, ask your barber to shape it using layers to keep texture whilst reducing weight.
The Style: Help set your waves in place by lightly scrunching with your fingers as you dry. After that, all that’s left to do is style using a texture enhancing product and you’re done. Embrace that rugged, unkempt look.
