More men are embracing their hair's natural texture, and they're looking for styles that help compliment it. Here, styling tips that help emphasize facial angles and multi-dimensional texture on three popular looks.
French Crop
For a clean-cut, modern haircut that stands out, combine a longer top with a fade on the sides. This low-maintenance look requires a product like mop Basil Mint Firm Hold Clay to create piecey texture and fringe. To use, emulsify in hands until the product is warm enough and of a softened consistency. Apply to damp or dry hair, creating texture by varying direction of the hair forward, back, and up.
Quiff
Often deemed the “lazy man’s pompadour,” the quiff is an incredibly popular, high-volume, medium-length hairstyle. And while most of the quiffs you’ll see are being worn by men with straight hair, wavy hair is just as well-suited for this trendy style. A molding cream, like Mop Orange Peel Molding Cream, is the perfect product to create the volume required for this look. Use on damp hair to create the look and add texture to hair when it’s dry for definition and separation.
Curly Hair Fade
The curly haiir fade focuses the eyes on the top of the head where natural texture is enhanced by working with instead of against waves and curls. A taper fade is a great choice here to transition from very short to full volume. Use a low-hold styling product, like mop Pomegranate Glossing Pomade, to enhance the hair’s natural movement while adding separation, shine and moisture. Use sparingly. Product can be layered for buildable texture throughout the day.
