This style defines the guy who likes symmetry, balance and a little bit of flare. Something that can be worn with a well-cut suit in a corporate environment as well as when the weekend arrives and you’re thinking more casually.

A classic approach to the bottom of the head leading up to longer length on top with a fraction of disconnection through the front temple area. If Elvis could pull it off, then so could you. To ensure this hairstyle holds throughout the day use a product of high quality and work it into your hair.

2. Alternative Curls

You don’t need a guitar and a motorbike but if you have the right amount of shape and balance you could pull off a large curl all over. Alternatively, you could try a classic cut on the underneath with a slight build up of weighted curls on top. The product you use is key, layer the product and style it like you don’t care. With all this, you might just be able to pull it off.

Good clipper work on the bottom of the head is necessary, eventually leading up to a nice proportion of hair on top. This can be worn in all directions. Best styled when the hair has been towel dried. Add a touch of facial hair and you have a winning look.

4. The Public Enemy

The homage to probations, this is the very now. Extreme scalp exposure and very tight sides and back. But the illusion is in the connection, these haircuts were cut so they connect at the back. Let the sides hang out and you look like you have an undercut. This was the ultimate style of the 20s and it’s not back strong. Get it right, use a heavy pomade and treat your hair like the paint on your car. Keep it shiny and in good nic.
