One thing I always like about Awards Season is that there is so much great hair to look at.  One thing that stood out for me this year was men’s hair.  There’s always talk about the women’s hair but the men get woefully neglected.  So here is my shout out to the great men’s hair this season.

There is a definite shift for men’s hair.  Instead of hair coming forward we are seeing hair with a bit of volume in the bangs and combed away from the face.  I first noticed it at the Royal Wedding.  David Beckham had such a great hairstyle.  He looked so polished and his hair was impeccable.

At the Grammy’s Ryan Seacrest was sporting the same look (and while he looked good, he’s no David Beckham!)

Note the low and very definite side part and the front is combed up and back, slightly to the side.

If you want to do this look at home remember to make the part go straight back to the crown.  This will help keep the crown flat which will enhance the height at the front.  To get this look you need the sides and back cut short with length left at the top.  Use a gel like Wella’s Texturizer before you comb your hair.  Leave and go – no blow drying.  The nice thing about Texturizer is that it won’t dry hard but will give nice hold.  This is a very dapper elegant look for a man wearing a beautiful suit or just trying to dress up jeans and a blazer.

Check out Bruno Mars at the Grammy’s.  He is sporting the rock star version of this hairstyle.  The texture of his hair doesn’t allow him to have length and flatness at the crown so he just did not part it.  Also being a rock star allows him to have the haute couture version of this style and look perfectly polished.  Note the Ray Bans, perfect suit and no tie!!  His performance was a great as his suit!!
