• Tips

1 Analyze your situation. If you want a new everyday hairstyle, think about your life circumstances. Think about your work schedule. How long will it take for you to style your new hairstyle? How much effort are you willing to put into this?

• Regardless of which hairstyle you choose, it should highlight your personality. Also, the style you choose should match your personal preference. If your stylist recommends a hairstyle you don't like, politely decline and look elsewhere. The choice is yours.

2 Get a new haircut. You can get a haircut from a hairdresser you know. If you don't know a good hairdresser, you can ask your friends for advice on a great stylist. Take pictures of the hairstyles you like and ask the stylist if the selected hairstyles work for you.

Tips for choosing a haircut
Remember the name of the haircut that the hairdresser gave you. If you really like your new look, don't forget to leave a good tip. In addition, you can consult with a stylist on issues related to styling and other nuances. The stylist will recommend what products you should use when styling your hair.
Possible styles:
"Fade" (from the English fade - fade away): a haircut, which, as a rule, is done with a hair clipper. With it, the length is gradually reduced from the crown to the neck. There are various variations of this haircut such as "afro-fade" or when the hair on the sides is made shorter. Talk to your hairdresser about which haircut is best for you.
"Hedgehog": with this haircut, about 2.5 cm is left on top, and a small length (3–6 mm) is left on the sides and back.
"Pompadour": with this haircut, the side and back hair is cut short enough, but a significant drop is left on top so that it can be removed upward (remember Elvis Presley).
Quiff: the style is similar to pampadur, but in this hairstyle, the emphasis on the hair is done in the front, without combing it back.
Uniformly short haircut: everything is obvious from the name. When choosing such a haircut, the main thing is that the shape of the head is beautiful.

3 Part it. When deciding how best to part your hair, consider your face shape and your natural parting. If you have a round face, do not part in the middle, otherwise you will only further emphasize the roundness of the face. If you have a pointed chin and high cheekbones, a parting to one side will accentuate these features. Most people fit a parting that is a few centimeters distant from the center. Try different types of parting to determine the one that works best for you.

• You can use your fingers or a comb to part the part. Note that if you part with your fingers, your hair will look more natural and slightly wavy. If you use a comb, your hair will be smooth. In addition, the comb allows you to give the hairstyle more structure.

4 Comb your hair. If you are not doing a mohawk, then you will most likely notice that most hairstyles have a certain direction of combing the hair: forward, backward, sideways, up or down. Experiment with the brushing style to find the one that's right for you.

• Note that many people only pay attention to the top of the head if the hair is short or medium in length. Usually the sides and nape of men are short-shaven, so they don't have to worry about their hair every day.

5 Buy hair products. Unfortunately, most of us need more than just water and a comb to get our hair done well. Start with inexpensive brands, experiment. When you find something of your own (like a hair gel), then you can try choosing a specific brand. Examples of remedies you can try and the results you can get:

Here's what to try
Serums and creams... These products will help you smooth your hair. They will also make your hair look less frizzy and not wiry.
Mousse... Use mousse to add volume and shine to your hair. For best results, apply to wet hair and let dry.
Gel... The gel holds the hair well; for best effect, apply to damp hair.
Hair wax, pomade or clay... Use these products if you have very unmanageable hair. Apply a small amount as the product rinses off only after washing your hair several times.A pea-sized amount of wax is sufficient for short, medium to thick hair. Wax is used to add shine and imitation of wet hair, while clay gives a matte finish.
Hair glue... Have you ever wondered how some people do their hair that looks like Native American feathers sticking out in different directions? They most likely use different types of hair glue that provide the strongest hold. Rinse your hair thoroughly after use.

6 Use appropriate styling products. Fix the hairstyle using hairspray (optional). Before brushing your hair, apply products that will provide a good hold. If you are worried that during the day your hair will sag or lose its shape, use a fixing varnish. There are varnishes of medium and strong hold. You can choose a product with strong hold (just remember that “strong hold” means “more alcohol”, which can negatively affect the condition of your hair).

• When using hairspray, do not forget to keep the spray can at least 15 cm away from the hair, while constantly moving it while spraying. Don't use too much nail polish and don't hold the bottle too close to your hair, as this will weigh down your hair.
• Hair wax also allows you to fix your hair style. Take some wax with your fingers and, pulling a few strands, run your hands along their entire length.

Part 2 of 3: Hairstyling for the Event

1. 1 Start from the situation. Why are you doing your hair? Going to prom? Are you dating the girl's parents? Just want to look cool? Adapt to the situation.
   • Please note - if you are going to a formal event, then you need a more traditional hairstyle. It is unlikely that your cousin will like it if you come with a tall mohawk to his wedding.
   • Choose a hairstyle that is close to your daily style; this will make you feel more comfortable during the event.
2. 2 Use quality products. If you are using inexpensive daily products, you can purchase better quality products for a special occasion. Cheap products are bad for your hair, it can look too dry or oily.
   • Be sure to try your chosen product several times before you apply it to your hairdo for an important event. This way you will know how your hair is reacting to it.
3. 3 Ask someone to help you style your hair. If you are going to a formal event, such as a prom or wedding (as a guest or hero of the occasion), you can ask someone to help you with the styling. A professional stylist, parent, or even your girlfriend can help you with your hairstyle advice or case.
4. 4 Your styling should look neat. The most important aspect is that your styling should show that you have taken the time and resources to look perfect.
   • Part the hair gently with a comb.
   • Also, use fixing aids.
   • Also use products that will help you achieve the damp look or shine you want. This is a great option for important events.
5. 5 Be prepared to tweak your hair if necessary. In general, important events can last longer than one hour, so you may need to be ready to tweak your styling. All you need is a small comb that you can put in your jacket pocket. Remove the comb from your pocket and gently comb through your hair. In addition, you can once again fix the hairstyle with the chosen product (the same hair gel). You will look great for the rest of the evening.

Part 3 of 3: Change your style

1. 1 Pay attention to the shape of your face. Be prepared that not every hairstyle will suit you. This is largely due to the shape and characteristics of the face.Determine the shape of your face. Stand in front of a mirror. Trace the outline of your face using soap or lipstick (not including hair and ears). Start at the bottom of the chin, work your way to the cheekbones, follow the hairline to the second cheekbone and return to the chin again. When done, you will see the shape of your face.
2. 2 Choose a style that suits your face shape. Once you've figured out the shape of your face, try choosing a hairstyle. Please be patient, as you may need to wait for the hair to branch out more. Below are some options for your attention:

   Face shapes
   Oval face: due to its proportions, the oval face looks good with haircuts of different shapes and lengths. The bangs will make your face look rounder.
   Square face: choose a softer style so that the ends of the hair are farther away from the contour of the face. Short, rigid styling will accentuate masculine features. Avoid hairstyles in which the hair is styled towards the center.
   Oblong face: choose a style for this face shape. Try to avoid short temples if you plan to keep the length along the parting, otherwise you will stretch your face more. Choose styling that does not visually lengthen your face, but make it wider.
   Round face: avoid hairstyles with long bangs. In addition, hairstyles with a large volume of hair are not the best option.
   Diamond shaped face: you can give preference to long hairstyles. The bangs and side strands can be lifted from the roots.
   Heart shape: those with narrow chins can afford long hair that is styled up or to the side. Facial hair such as a beard or mustache can also help make your face more proportional.
   Triangular face: choose a style that will add width and volume to the upper part of the face. If you prefer long hair, beautiful wavy strands will enhance your look.

   
   
3. 3 Determine your hair type. Is your hair wavy, straight or curly? Is your hair thick or thin? Depending on the type of hair, you will be able to choose a style that will be easier for you.
4. 4 Choose a hairstyle that suits your hair type. While some styles suit different hair types, you can find the one that works best for your hair type. Determine your hair type and consider which style is right for you.
   • If you have straight hair medium thickness, you can try the "army haircut". The hair on the crown of the head is trimmed in a flat area, on the back of the head and on the sides are shaved.
     • The haircut is a flat area on the head, with a hair length of 3–6 mm. At the same time, on the sides of the head and on the back of the head, the hair is shaved off almost baldly. If you decide to do this hairstyle, use a gel for fixing. Don't do this hairstyle if you have wavy or curly hair.
     • If you want long hair, you can stop trimming it and let it grow to your shoulders. Wash your hair, towel dry and apply some creamy texture.
     • The length of the hair on the sides and top should be long enough so that it can be combed smoothly. Apply the mousse to damp hair and comb your hair back. If you have curly hair, this is not your option.
     • This haircut assumes one length on the sides and top. If you choose this option, there is no need to use the fixing aids.
   • If you have curly or wavy hair, pampadur hairstyle is what you need.
     • The hair on the sides and back should be trimmed, but not so short that the scalp can show through. Ideally, the edges of the hair should be cut so that the characteristic length of the cut is generally preserved. A pompadour haircut for men along the edges allows you to give your hair a visual density. You can try this option: strands, styled with a slight raised effect and neatly combed back.However, this is not your option if you have fine or straight hair.
     • If you want a hairstyle with long hair, you can let your hair go down to your shoulders. All you have to do is wash your hair, towel dry, and use a creamy fixer. To give your hair a little volume, you can use a hair gel.
     • This haircut assumes one length on the sides and top. If you choose this option, there is no need to use the fixing aids.
   • if you have bald patches , it is better to cut your hair short. You can even shave off your hair altogether and grow a beard / goatee.
5. 5 Try different styles. There are no clear requirements to follow when it comes to choosing a hairstyle. The most important thing is your inner feelings. If you feel comfortable, then this is your style. Feel free to experiment with different styles every month until you find one that you really like.
6. 6 Choose the length of the sideburns. Typically, the mid-length sideburns stop at the middle of the ear, but this is not a requirement. You can change the length of the sideburns depending on your face shape and hair type. No matter what length of sideburns you choose, it should match your hairstyle. If you have short hair, the sideburns should be short and well cut. Longer, looser haircuts will work with longer sideburns.
   • Long sideburns will make your face look narrower, while sideburns shorter than the middle of the ear will, on the contrary, add roundness. On average, the length of the sideburns stops at the middle of the ear.

Tips

• If you overdo it with gel or other fixing products, your hair will look unhealthy and messy. Wash your hair regularly if you are using fixing products.
• Once you've decided on the style, you can get a haircut.
• If you are unsure about choosing a hairstyle, consult a stylist who will give you professional advice.
