2009 Hairstyle Tips For Men




Although the clothes and shoes you wear are the basis of your look, men often tend to forget about the importance of their hairstyles. Granted, most men do care for their hair and curse when they wake up with bad hair days that make them want to throw on a baseball cap. Nevertheless, getting the perfect haircut and properly styling your hair can be quite the challenge, that's why we're presenting you with these 2008 hairstyle tips for men.

Deciding which hairstyle to take on is a difficult decision, since it can completely alter your appearance -- for better or worse. The main question we answer in these 2008 hairstyle tips for men is: Which men's hairstyles are popular now and which styles will make you look like you've been the victim of a hairdresser's bad day?

Fernando, from the Montreal-based salon Le Pascha, has the answers to these questions along with other 2009 hairstyle tips for men.

What are the most popular hair trends in 2009?

In 2008, the trends involve shapes that are either long or short, and they all have certain degrees of natural parts. Basically, the hair is parted wherever the hair most naturally splits, whether it’s in the middle of the head or on the side; nothing is forced, and then product is put in the hair to emphasize the look.

It’s really a reflection on the hairstyles of the 1940s and 1950s -- like the Humphrey Bogart period, the Al Capone look, the Superman/Clark Kent look…

Should a man change his hairstyle every season?

Why not? Clothes change, so does hair. Everything’s in sync. Don’t forget, though: Only go for hairstyles that suit your face and features. Just because the faux hawk is in style one season, it doesn’t mean a man with a long face should wear it.

Are there age limits for trendy hairstyles?

Age is pretty irrelevant -- it’s all about the person carrying the look. There are some older accountants and some lawyers who walk around looking pretty trendy, so age has nothing to do with it. Obviously, your grandfather shouldn’t have a faux hawk, but if a 50-year-old is in retail, and it fits his style, he might be able to pull it off.

What are some classic hairstyles for men that stick around every season?

There are many ways of defining a classic hairstyle, but today’s classic hairstyle is an overly textured look that makes you look like you just woke up (aka “bed head”). Spiky hair is out; those people are really living in the ‘90s. We’re way done with that.

What is the difference between low-maintenance hairstyles and high-maintenance hairstyles?

Low-maintenance hairstyles are the result of getting the proper haircut. Your hairdresser should be able to give you the proper haircut based on your face shape and your features -- whether you have a long face or wide occipital bones (the bones in the back of your head that stick out), and also based on your hair texture. With the proper haircut obviously comes the need for little maintenance.
