Welcome back to the Gentleman's Gazette!
In today's video we discuss five classic and timeless stylish haircuts for men.
If your into classic style, you pay a lot of attention to your wardrobe.
However the hair and the hair style you choose can have a great impact on the rest of your
outfit.
So in today's video we discuss five classic hairstyles that will never go out of style and are therefore
always appropriate for men who are into a classic men's style.
The first haircut is the prohibition high and tight.
It was very popular in the mid 1920s and with shows like Boardwalk Empire, it became very
popular a few years ago.
Maybe you've also watched Peaky Blinders and they all have very similar hairstyles.
They are very short on the side with longer hair on the back and it gives you that rough
edge that's kind of cool but at the same time very classic.
It's a style that works for anything from fine to thick hair as long as it's reasonably
straight and not too curly.
Personally, I've somewhat wavy hair and I can still pull that style off by using a very
strong gel which is got2b from Henkel which is available at any drugstore for a
little money.
Even though my hair has a mind of its own this product allows me to get a fairly straight
look and it easily comes out just by washing it with water and regular shampoo.
The tricky part about this haircut is that when it grows out sometimes it can look quite
bad so you have to pay attention to go to your barber on a regular basis.
I'm on a schedule for a new haircut tomorrow.
Apart of a strong gel, of course you could also use wax, you can use a pomade or fiber.
It really all depends on the hair and what works for you.
I've tried many things and pomade for me created a pomade
acne which meant I had lots of zits on my forehead and the sheets on the pillowcases
were always dirty and it was a huge pain.
In terms of length I suggest you have at least two inches on top and if you're at the barber
tell them to go with number one to start and you can see how you'll like it and how it
blends in.
Of course you can also have longer hair all the way up to five or six inches but then
it gets a little borderline.
The next classic cut is the pompadour or sometimes also known as James Dean.
You definitely need longer hair for that.
It's all about the top and how you comb it.
Now James Dean had a curl and for that you need some curl in your hair otherwise you
can also go without and it still looks quite timeless and classic.
If you're new to this hairstyle I suggest you go to a barber because it all starts with
a hair dryer.
Yes, if you don't have one of those you can safely invest in them it's not just something
for women.
For the pompadour you also need good hair products and I suggest you take a look at
our in-depth list on quality hair products here.
For most men a medium pomade or grooming cream is the best way to achieve that look that
looks typically like the cool James Dean.
The third classic style is the flair.
And no, I'm not talking about the 1980s Gordon Gekko look that just looks dated today and
almost like the cliche used-car salesman.
Of course if you have longer hair on top you can comb it back and have a little flair and
not get quite an extreme Gordon Gekko look.
If you want to wear the updated version of it, you want a square cut and if you tell
your barber he'll know what you mean.
For this hairstyle a mousse works best and you just work it in your hair and then comb
it back.
I suggest not to comb it back quite straight.
You want a little wave so it looks more pleasing.
The fourth haircut is the undercut or we call it the Gent Gazette.
It's the kind of a haircut I typically wear.
I part it on one side and initially I started parting it in front in the middle and I moved
all the way out.
Usually my sides are cut shorter all the way up so I get that nice transition at the same
time it grows out in a way that doesn't look terrible.
Usually I go get a haircut about every three to four weeks.
If you want to see how I get that hairstyle step-by-step and what my hair looks like without
product, please check out this video here.
Personally, I use a very strong gel got2b from Henkel.
Traditionally you would do it with pomade but unfortunately I just had many bad experiences
with it.
To learn more about pomade, please check out our in-depth pomade guide here.
The fifth hairstyle is called the bed head.
It's similar to a pompadour.
It's shorter in the side, higher on top but it's just a little more disheveled which could
look more relaxed and it's particularly popular with hipsters often combined with a beard.
So, you want to tell your barber to keep it high on the sides and instead of combing it
back you're pulling it forward and you dishevel it slightly with your hands.
This is definitely a cut you don't want slicked back otherwise it looks greasy.
In terms of products you want to stick with something with a matte finish and it can be
like a grooming cream or a foaming cream not a pomade, they're just too stiff.
I suggest you start with damp hair and then use a blow dryer and your fingers to kind
of dry it in shape and the only problem is strong winds.
To counteract that, you can work with a bit of hairspray.
So in general here are a few quick tips.
If you keep your sides shorter, you can keep the top shorter too which is easier to maintain
yet it will look longer than if the sides grow out.
In my case my ears will also look bigger and my wife always teases me about it.
I find a nice part to be quite pleasing and you can really achieve it easily by combing
it forward first and then backwards to get that proper line.
I find that correcting the part is more difficult than starting all over.
And if you're having a lot of issues, you can also shave the part with a razor.
It's not something I personally resort to but I definitely know people who swear by
it.
So give it a try if you have issues getting a nice part you desire.
Three, buy a quality product it works for your hair.
Now personally, I'd like to get a more high quality product that cost a little more but
honestly I've tried so many things and the got2b is the only thing that works so far
for me.
If you have a better alternative, please make some suggestions in the comments.
Otherwise, please check out this guide we recommend a bunch of hair products that we've
all tested.
Four don't wash your hair daily.
By doing so you're removing healthy and important oils and you're just drying out your hair.
If you wash your hair every second or third day you should be just fine.
I don't know if you ever noticed but your hair is likely to look healthier and it's
easy to work with the second day after you've washed it than right after you've washed it.
If you workout or exercise a lot and you feel compelled to wash your hair I suggest to use
conditioner instead and not always shampoo.
It will be better for your hair and not as harsh.
Also, it gets rid of all the grime and grit of your hair without stripping it of all the
essential oils.
Five, it's okay to have multiple products and you're not a diva if you have that.
Sometimes you want different hairstyles that require different products.
Just test a few things and figure out what works and doesn't
work for you.
Every hair is the same and no hair is like the other.
Six invest in a quality comb.
I know the 50 cent or dollar store combs - very tempting.
They're made out of plastic.
They're cheap.
They seem to be exactly the same ones as more expensive combs yet a quality comb will cost
you about 20 bucks.
It's usually made of hard rubber and it's much better for your scalp.
It's much more comfortable and you can also comb in a more precise way.
Personally, I've tried horn combs but I find the teeth to be too stiff and too brittle
so over time they'll just break.
If you're more interested in combs stay tuned for our comb guide coming soon.
Last but not least it really pays to have a good relationship with your barber or people
that really understand what you want at the same time can make recommendations based on
their experience that work for your hair type and face shape.
Also if you live in the U.S. make sure to tip your barber well. Five to ten dollars are
perfectly acceptable. They'll be happy and they'll remember you and they'll fit you in
when it's tight and you need a haircut quickly and then will go the extra mile to get you
that haircut that you want and looks great on you.
If you want to see how I style my hair, please check out this video here.
Today I'm wearing a quite casual combination and usually I'm much more dressed up.
If you want to see what I usually wear hit that subscribe button and new videos with
outfit recommendations come right to your inbox.
I opted for a very casual summery outfit consisting of a polo shirt however I skipped the usually
very flimsy colors you see on polo shirts and exchanged it for a shirt style collar
with an interlining.
It's much cleaner.
It's much neater yet you still have the breathable flexible polo shirt knit.
Rather than with a solid color, I went with a mottled yarn with blue tones and white tones
so it's very fresh but you won't see stains as easily and it's a little different and
not so boring.
For my shorts I opted for Navy with white polka dots made out of linen.
It's a very wonderful material for the warmer days because it wrinkles in a very sophisticated
way and it's different than all the cotton shorts out there.
For my shoes I opted for the white of the polka dots and went with a canvas shoe that
I wear barefoot.
It's very breathable.
I don't sweat and it's fine for summer and a casual outfit like this.
