Sam is a man who likes to keep his hair short. However, he is open to different cuts and style techniques that fall in the short hair range. In the movie Terminator Salvation and Clash of the Titans, he wore his hair in a buzz cut style that was created using a #3 guard. The sides and back were tapered slightly.

For the movie Avatar, he had a crew cut in order to stay in the character of a military man. This is a very simple style that requires little to no maintenance until the hair has grown out some. To keep this style for more than a month or so, the hair must be cut fairly often. Photo of Sam Worthington shor formal hairstyle.

More recently, he has been seen with his in a style that has been called short formal. The hair is layered and the ends are razor cut to provide added texture. To vary the style, he can add wax and pull the hair into spikes with his fingers or he can simply let it lie where it will for a slightly messy look. Brushing the hair forward and straight produces a hairstyle that any professional man would be glad to wear to work in his office.

For even more variation, Sam has let his whiskers grow to about three or four days’ growth. He can maintain this level of facial hair using a standard beard trimmer with the right guard.

What Is The Difference Between Hair Wax And Hair Gel?

Today, one has many different options in hair products to help hold different styles in place. Two such products are hair wax and hair gel. However, not everyone is familiar with the different products. Therefore, we shall attempt to answer the question, “What is the difference between hair wax and hair gel?”

Hair wax gives light to medium hold and never gets stiff. The product is widely used to provide a soft, natural hold in hairstyles such as the mussed up “bed head” look.

Unlike Gel and other water based hair products, wax does not dry on the hair. This makes it easy for a man to fix his style by simply running his fingers through the hair. In a few cases, it might become necessary to reapply a small amount of wax for certain styles, but this is rare.

Hair gel produces a stiffer hold, similar to hair spray. One major difference is that hair spray does not leave flakes when it dries in the hair. Most gels are alcohol based. Others are water based. Either way, hair gel dries on the hair, leaving behind dry components that can create flakes in the hair.

Gel lends itself more readily to certain styling methods, such as “scrunching”, a method of enhancing or tightening curls and waves in the hair. There are many different types and levels of gel based on consistency and hold. It can come in a spray or be a very thick gelatinous substance. Different products provide different levels of hold, usually indicated using a number scale with higher numbers being more stiff.

Gel is not designed for use with completely dry hair. It is normally applied to damp, towel dried hair and styled. Some hair styles allow for the use of blow dryer after the gel is applied to the hair. One hazard of using too much gel is the creation of “helmet hair”, where the hair feels stiff or plastic to the touch. There is nothing sexier then being able to run a woman’s fingers through a man’s hair, and not having the man worry whether his helmet hair got messed up. If he had wax in his hair he could later go in the bathroom and “fix it” with no worries.

Given the number of different hair products on the market, it is no wonder some men become confused about which is and what each is used for. Hopefully, we have answered the question, “What is the difference between hair wax and hair gel?” in a manner that makes the differences clear and easy to understand.

How To Use A Straight Razor For Shaving and Cutting Hair

Image of straight razor.
A straight razor.

When it comes to personal grooming, few tools are as versatile or as useful as a straight razor. This tool can be used to get the closest shave possible and/or to cut hair to provide added volume and texture. Of course care must be taken to avoid cutting one’s own throat. There are few men still alive who know how to use a straight razor properly.

The first key to using a straight razor is maintaining its edge. Believe it or not, a slightly dull straight razor is more hazardous than one with a finely honed edge. Care must be taken not to roll the edge after it has been achieved using a leather strop.

There is a specific manner in which the razor should be held. The tips of the index and second fingers should be placed over the shank with the thumb underneath for grip. The ring finger and pinky should rest on the tang, a swooping piece coming off the handle. The blade should be held at approximately a thirty degree angle to the skin when shaving or to the hair when cutting hair.

When shaving, it is important to keep plenty of lubrication on the skin. This means using a high quality shaving soap or shaving cream and reapplying it as needed. If the skin becomes dry or sticky, the odds of getting a serious cut go up drastically.

One should use his free hand to pull the skin being shaved taut. This will provide the smoothest surface for the blade to pass over. Do not use multiple strokes on the same spot as one might with a safety razor. Instead, continue with the shave and come back after reapplying shaving cream. One should always go with the grain of the hair, never against it.

Using a straight razor as a barber’s implement is similar to shaving with one. The biggest difference is that there is no need for shaving cream unless shaving the head. For cutting, the hair should be pulled up from the head. The desired length should be established and the razor brought through the hair at an angle away from the scalp. This will give the hair a layered look that has some body and texture to it.

Knowing how to use a straight razor is a skill that is slowly dying out. It is, however, still the best way to get the closest possible shave and one of the best skills a barber can develop for cutting and styling hair.

Vitamins To Prevent Grey Hair

The importance of vitamins to a person’s health can never be overestimated. This even extends to the person’s hair health. While there are many other reasons to take vitamins if one does not eat a healthy and balanced diet, few people realize they can take vitamins to prevent grey hair.

In general, the best way to get vitamins is in their natural form from our food. There are some vitamins that can affect hair growth and color. Here, we will look at some of these vitamins and the best sources of them.

Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin b5, is one of the important vitamins that can prevent hair loss and graying. It is commonly found in organ meats, such as liver, eggs, and whole grains.

Vitamin b6 helps the body to produce melanin. Melanin is a protein that gives the hair and skin its color. Production of this protein in a healthy hair follicle produces a colored hair. Lack of melanin produces a grey hair. B6 can also help prevent hair loss. This vitamin comes from the same sources as b5.

Biotin is a nutrient that helps the body produce keratin. Keratin is a protein that is used in the production of hair by the body. Biotin also aids in the prevention of hair turning grey and hair loss. Milk, liver, eggs, rice, and whole grains are foods rich in biotin.

Under ideal conditions, everyone would get all of the vitamins to prevent grey hair as well as the minerals necessary to prevent grey hair, hair loss, and other problems that result from vitamin deficiency. Since conditions are hardly ever ideal, most people need to take some sort of vitamin supplements. It is highly recommended that individuals take a multivitamin that contains all of these vitamins plus others that help to promote good health in general as well as prevent grey hair.

Zac Efron Short Hair: Buzz Cut

Zac Efron is a 23 year old American actor who is best known for his roles in the Disney Channel movie, High School Musical, and the television series, Summerland. He is also known for his long locks of hair, which normally cover his ears and stop just short of the shoulder. Today, things have changed with his hairstyle. Here, we shall take a look at Zac Efron short hair: buzz cut.

Zac efron short buzz cut hair Zac efron buzz cut hairstyle.

Zac has an upcoming role in a movie in which he will play a marine. In order to prepare for this role, he decided to go ahead and get his hair cut to a style close to what he will wear during the filming of that movie. However, he has had long hair for so long that this hair cut has left him missing his hair.

Today, Zac’s hair is very closely cropped on the sides and back. He has left it a little bit longer on top, but it is still so short it stands up on its own without any type of hair products being used. This is one type of haircut that is accepted by military standards for males. It is not as severe as some of the cuts worn by typical marines, however.

One advantage for Zac with this new style is that he does not have to worry about keeping a comb or brush handy to refresh his hairstyle during the course of the day. Even after sleeping on it, the hair maintains its style with no maintenance on his part except an occasional washing.

The Zac Efron buzz cut is a look that many fans will need some time to get used to after seeing him for so long with longer hair. Fortunately, they are not alone. Zac is needing some time to get used to it as well.

One of the fastest growing hairstyles in popularity among teens and twenty something year old men is the side swept fringe inspired by Justin Bieber. This is a fairly easy style to achieve, but it leaves many wanting to know how to grow your hair like Justin Bieber.

Most stylists, however, agree that it is a simple matter of letting the hair in front and on top grow out until would cover the eyes if brushed straight forward. The back is cut a bit shorter so that it all blends together.

Styling the hair like Justin Bieber is the next step. One should comb or brush the hair on top and sides toward the front. This should cover the ears and eyes. Next, flip the bangs, or fringe, to one side. This is most easily accomplished with the hand though most try to emulate the twitch that Justin uses to get the hair out of his eyes.

Most need to apply a small amount of gel to the hair to provide hold. This is best done while the hair is still slightly damp. If done properly, the gel will hold the hair in place out of the eyes while looking natural. The hair should not feel stiff to the touch.

If you want to know how to grow and style your hair like Justin Bieber, the answer is pretty basic. It must be allowed to grow to a medium length with razored ends on top and sides so that the bangs cover the eyes. Next, one should get the back cut a bit shorter and style the hair so that it looks just like Justin’s.

How To Take Care Of Men’s Curly Hair

Men who have naturally curly or wavy hair tend to have many more options when it comes to styling their hair. However, this hair type comes with its own unique problems that tend to get worse the more curl the hair has. This can leave many wondering how to take care of men’s curly hair.

The first thing is to remember that moisture is the friend of curly hair. This is because curly hair tends to be drier and finer than straight hair, making it more brittle. This brittleness can lead to split ends and frizzy hair that will not be tamed for any reason. That is why one must use a good quality conditioner each and every time he washes his hair to replenish the moisture and lock it into the hair.

Blow dryers are a definite enemy. It is better to simply squeeze excess moisture out of the hair with a towel or cotton shirt and allow it to air dry whenever possible. Too much rubbing with a towel can damage the individual hair strands and the heat from a blow dryer can dry the hair out, making it split and break.

Curly hair does not take brushing as well as straight hair. Whenever possible, one should choose a style that can be achieved by simply running the fingers through the hair with or without hair products to hold the hair in place. If this can not be done, a wide toothed comb should be used gently to style the hair.

When choosing products to provide extra hold for different hairstyles, one should consider whether the product will weight the hair down or make it look greasy. In many cases, trying to achieve a basically straight hairstyle will require volumes of product that just make the hair look dirty. One might want to start out with lighter products and gradually increase the amount and/or type of product until the right hold and look is achieved rather than start with something heavy.

In general, curly hair is a blessing in that it is a lot lower maintenance than straight hair. One does not have to get it cut as often and its natural dryness makes it unnecessary to wash more than a couple of times a week. The main thing to remember when learning how to take care of men’s curly hair is that moisture is good and overworking it is bad.

Colin is a man whose hairstyle can change at the drop of a hat. He is not afraid to let his hair grow long for a role or to shave his head as he did in Daredevil. When he is not preparing for a specific role, he prefers to keep his hair cut to a medium length with short sideburns. He uses a bit of gel to produce spikes that give his hair a slightly mussed look, as if he did not have a care in the world. Do not look this look fool you, though, this is a high maintenance hairstyle.

He has also been seen with his hair moderately short and gelled in such a way that it stood up all over. There is no spikiness to this style, it is simply uniformly standing on end.

One look he seems to favor is to let the hair grow a bit longer and simply part it in the middle. He kept it combed back from the face on the sides. No product appears to have been used to maintain this style. In addition, a short mustache and beard were added to round out the look.

Another look that he has used, probably as an in between stage during a grow out for a role is medium long hair gelled heavily and swept to the back of the head. Pomade was used to give the hair a wet look that suited his features with a slightly fuller mustache and beard limited to the chin area. Photo of Colin Farrell long hairstyle.

How To Get Waves With Straight Hair Men

Women have a huge arsenal of hairstyling tricks that allow them to do almost anything with their hair. But many wonder how to get waves with straight hair men. After all, men’s hair is normally shorter than a woman’s. However, this is not always the case.
For those guys who like to keep their locks longer, braiding the hair at night and taking it down the next morning is a good way to get waves into straight hair. Of course, this trick only works if one has hair long enough to braid.
Those with more medium length hair can try drying their hair upside down while scrunching it up toward the head. This method is far from foolproof, however, and requires the use of hairspray with extra hold to keep the waves in the hair.
The best method for getting waves in straight hair for men, and it works regardless of the length of the hair, is to have it cut in layers. This gives the illusion of wavy hair even though the strands remain as straight as ever. Scissors and razor cutting are the best tools for this type of cutting because they change the shape of the hair strands’ ends and add texture and volume to the hairstyle.
Other things that a guy might try include the use of a crimping iron, soft rollers, or, in extreme need, getting a permanent. However, these tend to require that the hair be at least medium length if not long. Also, permanents are not really recommended by their manufacturers to be used simply to put waves into hair. They are intended to make straight hair curly.
How to get waves with straight hair men is not a straightforward proposition. The process one can use to achieve this goal varies a great deal with the length and fullness of the hair.

Which Men’s Hair Styling Product Is Right For You?

Men’s hairstyles have changed a great deal over the years. Different styles have come into fashion and gone out only to come back in again. One thing that remains constant is that men spend a great deal of time and money to get their hairstyles exactly the way they want them. Different hair products are used to facilitate this. So, which men’s hair styling product is right for you?

There are several different styling products available for men to choose from. Each one has its own unique texture and works better for certain hair lengths and styles. These products are mousse, gel, pomade, hair wax, and hair spray.

Mousse
Mousse is a good product for almost any hairstyle. It can be used to create virtually any look one wants that is not way out there. It has the property of giving the hair a wet look if it is applied while the hair is wet and giving the hair a more natural look when applied to dry. This product also has the unique quality of adding volume to the hair, a bonus for men with fine or thinning hair.

Hair Gel
Gel is possibly the most versatile of the hair styling products. When it is applied, the hair will remain in place, even in a stiff wind. It works well with mohawk style, curly or textured hair and can be used for extended periods of time on hair that is not colored or permed. Gel lends itself to certain popular styling techniques such as scrunching, sculpting, molding or freezing.

Cream
Cream is possibly the oldest of hairstyling products on the market. Brylcream (creem) was created in 1928 and quickly became popular because it allowed men to slick their hair back and know that it would stay in place. Slightly heavier than gel, cream tends to make the hair look oily, especially if used in excess. This trait has caused men who make heavy use of cream to bear the nickname, “greasers”.

Pomade
Pomade is quickly becoming the most popular of men’s hair styling products. Pomade is composed of an oil base mixed with a small amount of wax. It can help one produce a wet look on dry hair or, when applied to completely dry hair provide a natural looking hold with added texture. Pomade is used mainly for those hairstyles that involve a messy look because it allows one to create small spikes all over the head in random locations and know that they will still be there at the end of the day. Pomade makes hair look slick and shiny. So, it’s great to create pompadour or slicked back hairstyle.

Pomade’s one major drawback lies in the fact that it dries and can leave a flaky appearing residue in the hair over time. Also, the oil base used to create this product means that it may take several shampooings to get all traces of it out of the hair.

Wax
Wax is the preferred hair product for those with shorter hair who wish to create a faux-hawk or other short styles that stand out from the head. The wax coats the hair and creates a semi wet look.

Hair Spray
A final product for consideration is simple hair spray. This product has been used by both men and women for many years to create a natural looking hold. Its one drawback is that it can give the hair a stiff, coarse texture when touched, especially if too much is applied.

After looking at all of these different products, it is up to you to decide based on the hairstyle you want to create and the texture of your hair which men’s hair styling product is right for you?
