What makes a hairstyle intriguing for that special night or gala event? Is it the elegance, the style, the extra effort or a pleasing new hair element? Our answer is: All of the above! Have a look at the evening hairstyles in our gallery and join us in our search for the styling elements, which make all the difference. You may decide to use only one or the other hairstyle element. However, we suggest using them all. In terms of elegant festive hairstyles, more actually does help more.

The Part

Straight ps increase the elegant flair of hairstyles for festive occasions. Ideally, your hair should still be a damp when you create the part. Comb your hair back and part it with a styling comb. Now you are ready to style the rest of your hair.
Tip: Try parting your hair along a higher or lower line. You may also want to lengthen or shorten the part.

Well-Groomed Hair

A reasonable level of perfection is important for festive hairstyles. Defined, accurately styled straight or wavy hair is far more suitable for celebratory or festive events than undone styles with strands of hair standing on end or limply hanging down. Use a comb to style your hair for an elegant look.
Tip: Use hair gel to create an elegant wet look. Hair wax prevents fly-away hair.

Men who visit the hair salon just once a year are rare these days. Nowadays, maintaining stylish hair is part of the daily routine just like keeping the body hair neat. You can successfully attend to your care routine if you use the following tips. Hair we go!

The Dos and Don’ts of Styling Men’s Hair

Men used to restrict themselves to shampooing and blow-drying their hair. Today, men draw on almost unlimited resources. Whether your hair is short or long, whatever appeals to you goes. You can decide whether you want to wear an accurate form-cut or rather sport the tousled out-of-bed look. Also in fashion are the more feminine haircuts with longer fringes and fringed covering hair. Beware! You will be wearing your hair style in your work place as well. Dreadlocks, an Iroquois or punk haircut or hair styles with tribal or other motifs shaved into the hair are a matter of taste or no taste, whatever the case may be.

Hair Styling for Men: Helpful Tools

Aside from a hair dryer and comb, a man’s hair styling tools should also include a hair brush. Invest in a brush with natural bristles or a massage brush with rounded bristles, rubber or wood bristles. A flat iron may be useful for men as well. Be sure to buy a flat iron of good quality so that you won’t heat damage your hair and scalp.
By the way, wildly growing eyebrow hairs should be plucked out using tweezers. You should regularly disinfect these tweezers with alcohol. A very small dab of wax or gel will keep the hair close to the skin.

Step 1: Prep.

This step is the most important and overlooked part of the shaving process. A good prep cleanses the skin, opens the pores, and softens the skin. To prepare the skin for a smooth shave, always shave after or at the end of a hot shower.

This will soften the beard and open the pores. In a pinch, a hot towel and splash of water can be used.

Always use a high quality shave cream (look for those that are glycerine based) and stay away from products that contain menthol, which can close your pores and stiffen your beard. For those with especially tough beards or sensitive skin, a Pre Shave Oil may be applied to further soften the beard and reduce razor drag. When applying the shave cream, use a badger shaving brush to apply the cream in a circular motion. This action will help produce a better lather, lift the whiskers, and gently exfoliate the skin.

Step 2: Shave.

Two of the leading causes of ingrown hairs and razor burn are poor lubrication and dull blades. Step one provides tips for proper lubrication, but a good blade is also essential to a close, comfortable shave. I recommend using a three blade razor such as the Gillette Mach3 Turbo. Make sure to always use a sharp blade.

With your free hand, hold the area of skin to be shaved taut and glide the razor gently over your face.

Avoid applying pressure, rinse your blade often, and shave with the grain. If you require a closer shave, re-lather and shave lightly against the grain. If you nick yourself, apply a moist alum block or styptic pencil to stop bleeding.

Step 3: Repair and Protect.

After shaving, always close the pores with a rinse of cool water. Gently pat the face dry with a soft cloth and apply a good aftershave balm. I don’t recommend using products that contain alcohol, as they can cause unnecessary drying of the skin. The right aftershave balm will help promote quicker healing and moisturize the skin.

There’s no magic secret to getting a great shave. Just follow the steps above every morning and put your best face forward. Now that you know how to maintain a great shave, check out my tips for maintaining a great looking head of hair.

A typical pro shave, he says, lasts 12 to 25 minutes. All you do is lie back and relax.

The time depends on how many hot towels you want to use and if you get a facial massage to go with it.
Once in a while, you need a professional job.

How often you must change blades is another good reason to stick with inexpensive single blades rather than three- or five-blade razors, which can be quite costly. The more expensive the blade, the less likely you may be to change them as often as you should.

As for straight razors, Penstein advises leaving those to the pros.

They’re much harder to handle and to keep evenand they’re not as safe.

Barber Charles Kirkpatrick says straight razors are a lot harder to use and that it’s easy to get hurt with one.

Some people say it’s daring to use it, but I love the word safety, myself.

Hot and Cold

Another key to a good shave is keeping the skin hot and moist. A great way to do this, Penstein says, is to shave in the shower or just after you get out. At the barbershop, Kirkpatrick piles on hot, moisturized towels to prep the skin and then again during the shave to keep the hairs soft.

One big advantage Kirkpatrick says the pros have over home shavers is the ability to warm their shaving lather. You can buy kits to do this, but Kirkpatrick says they tend to clog when not used often.

Follow your shave with a cold water rinse.

Cold water reduces inflammation. It’s like putting a cold compress onto an injury.

Go With the Grain.

Penstein and Benabio both recommend shaving with the grain — that is, in the direction your hair is growing. Though you may get a closer shave if you go against it, you make razor burn or ingrown hairs more likely.

Softening the hair first, as described above, should allow you a close, comfortable shave in one with-the-grain pass. That’s ideal.

The more time you go over an area, the more irritation you’ll get.
If you have thick hair, it’s particularly important to go with the grain.

If you’ve had the same old clean-cut hairdo for the last decade or so, it’s time to mix it up with a little inspiration from the streets of New York. The current trend is guys looking clean and natural – with a little twist.

Men’s grooming isn’t fussy right now
It has a more streetwise feel to it.

Here’s how to create your own version of his look at home.

1. After a shower, rub your hair with a towel until it’s about half dry. Then work a golf ball sized amount of extra strong hold mousse into your hands and apply it to your hair and style it forward. Try Bumble and Bumble Full Form Mousse.

2. Lock in your hold using a hair dryer with a diffuser – a small attachment that fits on the end of the dryer’s nozzle – until it’s completely dry.

The diffuser changes the circulation of the air so it comes out and spirals instead of just going straight.

That allows your hair to lay and separate naturally. If you don’t have a diffuser handy, a thin, clean cotton sock will work in a pinch.

3. Work a 5p-sized amount of styling clay, which creates a matte finish and additional hold, onto your fingertips and apply it by picking up pencil-sized pieces of hair and letting them fall naturally.

Soft undercut and pompadour.

Last year’s footballer haircut gets an upgrade courtesy of – who else? – David Beckham. We’ve seen a move away from the intricate skin fades of last summer. Substitute the Olivier Giroud clippering for a rougher texture that’s more in keeping with menswear’s general loosening up. Just make sure you’ve got the length to pull it off.

The back and sides have grown out and it’s now scissor cut

Ask your barber to use it over a comb on the back and sides with a longer fringe, shorter crown and disconnected top.

It’s a haircut of two halves.

How to style it: Blow dry your hair and then apply a small amount of paste or salt spray to keep it looking natural. Don’t worry about brushing – your hands will do.

Rockabilly curly quiff.

Curly coiffured hair icons are hard to find. Late-80s Kevin Keegan? NSYNC era Justin Timberlake? Annie? Not images you’ve ever troubled your barber with.

This cut gives those with curlier hair the chance to play with exciting silhouettes and dramatic contrast.

Ask for a shorter back and sides, coming to a point at the back. But leave the top as long as possible, coming to a point at the front, too.

Do make sure there’s enough length and weight to give your curls texture and contrast with the short, scissor-cut sides. Don’t veer into permed mohawk territory.

How to style it: Use a mousse and scrunch dry the curls to enhance them as much as possible. Tease them to a point at the front then apply a wax for shine and control.

Sweep back

A classic cut that suits early summer squalls, when unpredictable weather risks undoing your hard work in front of the mirror.

This version’s grown out from it’s previous cut.

Ask your barber to keep the length and weight and to use a scissor over a comb to give it a clean shape.

The thicker your barnet, the better the results. If you’re not so blessed, try something that flatters a receding hairline.

How to style it: Use a salt spray or a hair powder for lift and texture. Sweep into place with your hands, then use that saved styling time to work on your smoulder.

French crop

Lack the time or inclination to fuss over your follicles every morning?

This is a classic cut for those looking for something simpler, Ask for an all scissor cut with a gradual taper on the sides that keeps tight and close to the head but textured and choppy on top.

It’s a cut that lets fine-haired fellows fake thickness, while full heads can embrace the opportunity to take the weight out.

How to style it: Add a clay for a matte look to create texture and apply it with your hands. There’s no need for a dryer or a brush.

Style the lazy way.
