 Trendy men’s
hairstyle has nothing to do with hairstyle for men living a century ago. Today men
favor for stylish short haircuts while the French from high society of the 17th
century popularized wigs to hide the hair or absence of it, and the 18th
century was rich in a wide range of men’s hairstyle for longer hair.
History of
men’s hairstyle
No doubt
that women had the prerogative to care of their hair with tender attempt
to
look beautiful and splendid and even 40 thousand years B.C. the
primitive women
plaited their hair lacing with straps and decorating with bands and
tiaras. However,
men of that primitiveera cared after their look either. At least, they
used bone combs which are today
discovered in many diggings by archeologists. It is interesting fact
that during barbaric epoch peopletended to use various means to fix
their hairstyle. Unlike men from today who use hair sprayand mousses
along with women, men of barbaric time had to cover their hair with oil
or thespecial vegetable glue.
Throughout several
thousand years the men’s hairstyle was like the so-called sign of social state.
So, in Ancient Mesopotamia the nobles were privileged to use special hair nets
and clips to fasten hair at the back or colored ribbons for men. Traditionally the
men’s hair was appropriate to come to the shoulder line when the locks were
combed backward to open ears.
Men’s
hairstyle became the real sign of social state approximately a thousand years
B.C. when aristocrats of the Minoan Epoch were used to wear long and well-cared
hair and ordinary people were forced to have their hair short. Long hair was
the symbol of adherence to high society for many centuries. Eve in the Medieval
Times the hair longer than shoulder line was the privilege for noble families. The
other males did with shoulder line hair or even shorter, whereas short haircuts
outdated fin the meantime. Like women, men of medieval areas were keen on
various hair accessories as hair bands or hair straps with decorative elements.
Long hair with
men was in favor till the late 18th century. In the middle of the epoch the
hairstyle a-la pigeon wing was greatly required which was again afforded by the
nobles only when several thick locks were set on temples and a small plait or
ponytail was arranged at the back. And only in the time of the French
Revolution short hairstyles came back to be in a-la Roman
Empire style.
Men’s hairstyle for today
Today stylists
offer various trends for men’s hairstyle and liberal vision in the society
allows males to have short and long hair as long as women do that either. However,
most men still prefer short conservative haircuts which do not require special
care and styling. Shorthairstyle is loved by Hollywood celebrities,
either. Mostly such hairstyle looks better
with men having oval face shape and who appreciate casual or sports style in
every day life.
On the
background of the greater concern in retro style in every fashion industry, the
classic men’s hairstyle of 50s and 60s turn to be trendy when hair is combed
backward slightly set to a side. Such hairstyle requires a little bit more
attention and time since styling products are needed to fix the hair as hair mousse
or gel. And such hairstyle looks more gorgeous with men of longed and thin face
creating the image of a strong man.
There is a
wide range of stylish hairstyles with middle length hair for men who are used
to trim hair at beauty salons, from various asymmetric haircuts requiring locks
of different length to the tousled messy hair done by stylists with the styling
products specially. Such modeling hair care products have the tender effect offering
the chance to create the stylish and a little bit casual style so much
appreciated by young men or have the hair volumized tousling it with strokes of
fingers.
Long hair
to blades or even longer can also be trimmed and look stylish though not many
men tend to wear it that way except for show-biz stars and celebrities who opt
to attract more attention of the public in any way.
