Tips for getting my hair this style?

Mrbrianmolko

Im trying to grow my hair into this sort of style (Pelle from the hives sort of thing as per picture - not the black guy in the picture!)

Its starting to get long now and its a bit thick (have always had the 2 back and sides and fancied a change) but its starting to curl and look messy. Any tips on how to style it like this etc as i havent a clue. Plus as my hair is starting to get curly,will i have to use a straightner? I find the thought of that so gay!!

Yeah, youll probably need a straightener, if you want it look that neat. Think of yourself as a little ahead of the curve, instead of gay! More and more blokes will start using straighteners, its just how these things work.

So basically youll need to apply a serum or spray to protect ur hair when its damp, blow dry and then straighten it, then maybe use a dry-looking wax like American Crew Fiber (its really good stuff). As for the actual cut, take a picture to a hairdressers and they should be able to sort you out.

I like that stlye myslef. theres loads of hair growing involved though as his hair is quite long there. i just hate going through the messy stage! Plus id say that takes a lot time to look after

look for a style that suits your hair type instead, if u use a straightener to get this style it will always look really obviously straightened and overly done and like you're trying too hard.
go to a good hair dresser and ask them what kind of cut they think will suit your hair type, u could bring that picture with you, but ask them for other suggestions..

That's pretty much how I have my hair at the moment. Takes awhile to grow it and to learn what to use. I use a serum that takes any frizz from my hair and just shape it with my fingers to get a kinda rough effect. I don't really need to use a straightener. I don't use gel or wax but sometimes I wish I did cos the wind really f*cks it up.

Strange.... GHD used to do a men's straightener but I can't find it now, I guess they discontinued it!

Something this size would be a good straightener for that kind of hair. Not necessarily a GHD, but something similar, to do the fringe with.

Edit: A hair straightener will not make you gay.

What serum do you use?My hair is just long enough now to start going into that shape and it does frizzz a bit, a serum would manage that a bit better

Frizz-Ease Serum Finishing Spray. Bit metrosexual but it's what the ladies like! (who am I kidding, I'm so alone...)
