6. The Short & Spikey Mohawk -
Although some would suggest that the spikey mohawk look frist made popular by David Beckham is now an old trend, we would argue the opposite. This look, as popular as it may be, has made a serious come back in 2012, likely because it’s just a good all around look that suits most men. This style can be made to look edgy when required but also tamed and professional for specific circumstances and occasions. It’s optional whether you choose to highlight top portions of the hair, as seen above, or whether you keep the hair a solid color, this depends on your personal preference and on setting, age, etc.
5. The Buzz Cut
Always a classic, the buzz cut is a great all around look for Men. The Buzz style is clean, professional and can easily be paired with a wide arrangement of style options. This cut tends to be a popular feature in the summer months but is seen year round. Getting this look is pretty simple, it’s really just a short cut all around with, ideally, short side burns to suit the overall look better. We tend to like this look because after all, what’s easier than getting out of bed and looking fantastic without doing anything to your hair?
4. Chin Length and Layered -
Made popular by stars such as David Spade and Ashton Kutcher, the chin length layered hair cut style is a great look for Men with some length to their hair. The versatility of this hairstyle allows you to either wear it casually just hanging around, or slick it back, or down, for more dressy and formal occasion. Although not for everyone, this look is a great option for Dudes looking to bring in some flair and attitude to their hair do. It’s important you remember to avoid straggling hairs with this cut as they will just curl up and look odd.
3. Short and Simple -
There’s nothing wrong with being simple, especially if you can pull it off. This classic cuts looks just as it sounds, ‘short and simple’, but is just as timeless and classic as any of the others above. This cut has made a come back in 2012 and i likely to be one the most popular cuts for men in 2013 also. Another bonus of this style is it’s ease of use..i.e. minimal morning readiness required; always a bonus.
2. Short waves & curls -
This hairstyle has become increasingly popular in the last year and will likely stick around for some time. Not only is it natural, easy and relaxed, but it carriers a certain attitude with it that speaks volumes. Although nice, this cut is usually for those who naturally have curly hair, we wouldn’t suggest trying to force curls, it doesn’t usually work out well.
