Men's haircut trends for 2012

Men’s hairstyles aren’t like women’s. Women’s hair trends are short lived, often lasting no more than a year. On the other hand, men’s hairstyle trends evolve slowly – and that’s the key to men’s hair trends in 2012. Each and every one of them has its roots in the hairstyles that were popular in 2010 and 2011, but each and every one of them also has evolved for 2012. Some have subtly evolved, others have split into several different hairstyles.

Return of the undercut.  It was only a few short years ago that it would have been considered a haircut solely for the young and the daring. Thanks to the popularity of a select TV show and the return of an interest in all things 1920s, the undercut returns to its original, classic roots.

What to ask for:

The first thing you have to ask your hair dresser / stylist / barber / drunk friend with a pair of scissors (actually, insist the latter stays the fuck away from you) is whether it’s going to work for your hair. Yes, we recommend this step for all the hair trends we write about, but a haircut that requires short sides and a long top isn’t going to work for every guy out there.

For those whom it is, we’ve again turned to Melbourne stylist Annika Bowen for advice on precisely what you should be asking for.

When it comes to asking for your sides to be cut, you have two main options. The first is to have them cut with scissors over comb. The second is to have the sides cut short with clippers. Annika recommends the latter, with the clippers giving a much better effect – having the clippers on number 2 is preferential for this kind of undercut, however, number 3 will still work for those not wanting to go quite as short.

If you do have a thinner temple akin to the second photo above, you can opt to have the sides trimmed extra short at the front temple area. Specifically you’re after a number 1 cut in front of your ears, with that shortness blended into a number 2 or 3 on the rest of the sides and on the back of your head.

While it has to be left long, you have a few more options when it comes to the top. The key rule to the top is this, however: it has to be long, and more length (within reason) is better.

Unlike most other haircuts for the coming seasons that use clippers, this undercut is one that doesn’t require any blending between the sides and the top. You could, however, opt to have it the top blending with the crown depending on how your hair sits. But in short, take a picture of the style that you prefer when you go to get your haircut.

Final tip: this is a hair cut that’s depends on the sharpness of the outline, so when your hair dresser passes the mirror to the sides and back of your head, double check to see that it is precisely finished, particularly on the back of your neck and around your ears. If it’s not, ask them to touch it up. And if they don’t give you the final once over with a mirror, don’t go back.

Balayage Ombre Color

 " OMBRE"  n. A French term meaning "shaded." Usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from light to dark. The color effect is woven into the fabric. Generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp. ( The Ombre technique  originally came about for fashion designers  who wanted to create different colors woven into the fabrics that had a nice blend) As we know...Fashion has a way of transcending into other aspects..."Hair". 

Stars everywhere have been embracing a new trend in hair color: Ombre/Baylage highlights...darker hair color on roots offset by painted on, sun kissed ends. Ombre is not a new technique, but the abundance of stars sporting it lately have brought new focus to this trend.
The highlights are easier on your wallet, since they are super easy to maintain (roots are encouraged), and depending on the variation of colors you choose the effect can be either subtle or intense...it's totally up to you!
Super chic, and less upkeep

I  actually have the Ombre on my hair and I haven't highlighted my hair sense April and we are now in September and I could go another 3 months! I love this Technique, It super easy up Keep and I get non-stop compliments. What I also love about my color is when I go into the sun it enhances my highlights and makes them brighter. Hands Down Ombre color is the best color I have ever had! :)

The 1950's decade

Audrey Hepburn and the Pixie Cut

The 1950's ushered in a new era of Fashion and Vintage Hair. It was a prosperous decade that embraced advances in the beauty industry, which included hairspray and the perm. By the end of the 1950's, hairstyles like the beehive and bouffant were at the height of their popularity. However, they also shared the fashion stage with shorter looks like the pixie cut, who you all might remember by Audrey Hepburn wearing .

Audrey Hepburn and the Beehive hairstlye
While hairstyle's come and go, the beehive is a  hairstyle that is still popular today. This popular Hairstyle came about in the late 1950's, Commonly worn with gowns or to a fancy event. The "Beehive" became a hit in the United States and other western countries,  reaching  it's peak of popularity in the 1960s. Women were just infatuated with the beehive updo, also known as B-52. 

Vintage is back!!!!!!!!

                                            WERE TAKING IT BACK TO THE 40'S YA'LL!

 The 1940s ushered in a more free flowing water-waving style. A hairstyle made famous by Veronica Lake, the soft cascading wave style stems from the classic long bob with a deep side part. The technique is called water waving, because the hair had to be wet, to set the waves. This is a great classic look for a formal event or dinner and will last a few days, with the touch up of a hot iron.
