Men’s hair styles have never been more varied and easy-to-maintain. Gone are the days of boring buzz cuts or wildly unkempt hair. With that said, buzz cuts or bedroom hair still have their place. But now the cuts are more tailored and product is a must to add that certain “I care about my hair” look.
Since Montreal is at the forefront of so many trends, let’s take a look at the hottest new styles seen on the streets this 2020.
Top Men’s Hair Trends in Montreal
The Undercut Quiff
For a while, the Undercut Quiff was mainly seen on younger men because it provided a certain cool, retro look. But this cut has been upgraded and is now seen across age groups.
“Ask your barber to disconnect the sides from the top at clipper grade zero, creating a blunt contrast in length. Then you’ll need a taper off through the neck and sides while leaving length on top and your fringe will allow room to create texture and volume at the front.”
The Messy Man Bob
If you’re looking for the cool, tousled look, the Messy Man Bob looks casually stylish and is dead easy to maintain. But the cut itself is key. Be sure to ask your stylist for layers that compliment your face shape and texture. You want the layers to create a natural flow. Balance and weight need to be distributed evenly. Without good layers, the hair can look like a hard-lined bob – not generally an appealing look (think Professor Snape in Harry Potter).
The Upgraded Buzz Cut
As mentioned earlier, buzz cuts are experiencing an redux from the standard, hard-lined military look. A little texturing and a smidge of product go a long way to pump up this go-to cut for many men. Ask your stylist for some small variations on the clipper guard and voila, a sharp, new look for 2020.
Remember: just because it’s a buzz cut doesn’t mean it requires no maintenance, especially as it grows out. A touch of paste adds more texture while a little pomade provides that polished look.
The main takeaway for men’s hair styles in 2020? You can look stylish and well-groomed with a little effort…and product. When talking with your barber, discuss the options and welcome feedback. Consider your face shape and your styling tendencies. A little communication goes a long way to ensure your best look possible.
