The holiday season is in full swing, and that means that you need to look your best for all of your family gatherings and office parties. And even if you’ll be celebrating at home you still have an image to maintain, and you should want to look good for your own family. To make it easy we’ve compiled a list of the top three handsome holiday hairstyles to keep you looking your best through all your festivities and well into the new year ahead.
A Simple Traditional Cut
If an easy-to-maintain hairstyle is your goal ask your barber for a scissor cut. The sides and back should be about an inch long fading to zero. The hair on top should be highly textured and about an inch and a half long. This will allow you to use a small amount of clay or pomade to create a simple yet festive look. Use a light hand with the styling product to get just the right amount of definition while maintaining movement.
Refined Yet Trendy
If you want a trendy look while maintaining a refined image this scissor is the one for you. Ask for the back and sides to be clean and super close. Details are important, so be sure that your sideburns and nape are well-shaped and neatly trimmed. The top section should be lightly textured and cut square with about three inches of length in the front transitioning to about one and a half inches long at the crown. Use a styling cream to shape and style, but don’t overdo it or you’ll look greasy.
Stylish Classic
The last one is a modern take on the classic Cary Grant and pairs equally well with jeans or a tuxedo. To achieve the look your barber may use both scissors and a razor. With a little extra length in front, the rest is cut close but with enough length for a side part. Apply and oil to damp hair and then use small amounts of pomade to shape the style. Make it more formal by slicking it back and to the side with a stark side part.
