Whether it’s your own special day or you are a groomsman for a friend, attending a wedding requires impeccable grooming. You’ll want a fresh shave the morning of the big day, but you should get a haircut a few days before so that your hair has time to settle into your new style. Here are a few of the hairstyles that will be popular for the groom and groomsmen this fall.
Working with Waves
A lot of men are wearing their hair a little longer in natural free-flowing styles these days. Many times letting your hair do its own thing results in your best look. So instead of working against the grain, embrace your natural texture and work with those waves. Apply a texture paste to damp hair. Comb through and then gently tousle to release the waves and fingerstyle into place.
Modern Classic
Keep in mind that this day will be forever captured in photos, so you may want to choose a haircut that never goes out of style. A modern classic haircut with a little length on top, scissor cut sides, and side part would be an excellent choice. You’ll never look back at your wedding photos and wonder what you were thinking in regards to your hair.
Low Pompadour
Another classic style that is perfect for a special occasion is the pompadour. Give it a modern update by keeping it more on the low side. Ask your barber to leave length in the front to allow you to curl your hair back on itself and build up a little height. You may want to practice this before the big day as it can take a little practice. You’ll need a round vented brush and a blow dryer to get it right.
Edgy Disconnect
If your style is edgier you might opt for a disconnect. This cut falls somewhere between a fade and an undercut. You’ll want enough length on top to get some volume and texture, but short enough that it doesn’t weigh itself down and fall flat halfway through the ceremony.
