Great Haircuts For Men
Men’s Haircuts are more a thing than they’ve ever been! Today’s man is fashion-forward and conscientious. A great haircut isn’t just about your hair or who cuts it. It’s important for you as a guest to understand what you’re working with. In this article, we will cover many considerations to understand to decide what the best haircuts for men are. Some elements that you should consider and discuss with your hair stylist are:
What Is Your Hair Texture?
Is your hair coarse, fine, curly, straight? When we talk about the texture of your hair, you should consider the circumference of each hair strand. A hair strand with more circumference is considered “coarse” and a strand with less circumference is “fine,” you get the idea.
In addition, the amount of bend or curl of your hair will affect the volume and movement and be a part of the formula of understanding your hair texture.
Follow Your Density!
Every person’s hair has a certain density of growth. To demonstrate, we could look at how many hair follicles per square inch in a given area of the scalp. If you have more hair follicles in that area your hair could be called “thick.” Likewise, if you have less hair follicles in that same space your hair may be called “thin.”
If your now asking, “what’s the number of follicles per square inch to be considered thick?” There’s no simple answer to that as it can be an entirely subjective answer. The purpose of understanding your density is to have a solid grasp of the concept and term for discussion with your stylist. To summarize, as an example a person can have “fine” (small circumference) but “thick” (dense follicles) hair. Fine+Thick Hair. Obviously each individual has their own make up of components unique to them.
What Is Your Face Shape?
Some shapes describing your face include round, oval, square, diamond, heart and triangle to name a few. The goal is to find balance; therefore using your hairstyle as a way to add to balance, or offset any imbalance. As an example, a person with a triangular or pyramid face shape may want some volume on top to even things up a bit.
What Is Your Lifestyle?
In the process of determining what’s the best men’s haircut for you; we must consider your lifestyle.
Do you work in a corporate environment or at a tattoo studio? Are you a wash and go kinda guy or do you wield that blow dryer like a pro?
If a blow dryer makes you want to run for the hills, it’s not a good idea to choose a coifed look that requires a lot of styling with tools. However, you could always learn how to use certain tools to achieve the look of the haircut you choose.

What’s A Fade?
When talking about haircuts for men, it is notable to discuss the term “fade.” A fade is a term that has been used generally to describe hair that is cut short going from shortest at the hairline and gradually getting longer as it “fades” up. However, the length of this transition can vary with each hairstyle individually.
