How to Communicate With the Barber Cutting Guy Hair

Step one in finding your ideal haircut is defining precisely what you want – this will help ensure effective communication between yourself and the person cutting your hair.

Crew Cut

A timeless style for men, the crew cut is ideal for those who prefer minimal styling time. It features closely buzzed sides with just a slight length at the crown, and depending on your desired look, it can be worn either brushed up, pushed back, or side parted depending on preference. The crew cut is versatile enough to work well with many facial hair styles, from sideburns to short beards, and can be worn with or without a hat. Furthermore, its versatility also lends itself perfectly to various fade options ranging from tapering fades to skin fades. Compared to other hairstyles, the crew cut is straightforward to keep looking its best without much styling. Should you decide to use any products such as wax or pomade with low sheen levels – this will ensure your locks appear natural without appearing clumpy!

Taper Cut

A tapered haircut gradually reduces hair length from long at the top of the head toward the neckline, beginning long on top and shortening progressively as it gets closer. Many styles incorporate some form of taper, suchh as the comb over or faux hawk. When discussing your vision with your barber, be sure to communicate clearly so they understand precisely what you desire. Low taper cuts are one of the most popular variations of this style, beginning at a lower point on the head, typically around the ears. They’re great for maintaining some length on top while giving your face more definition. The fringe taper fade is an eye-catching haircut combining fast, short hair styling and texture. This style works best on wavy locks, and can be easily slicked back using high shine pomade or even styled into a pompadour for dramatic effect. Perfect for any event and sure to turn heads!

Long Haircut

If a man wants an extended style, one of the most popular cuts for men is a mob (men’s bob). This type of haircut helps remove weight while adding volume through layers. When cutting this style, it is best to wash, condition, and towel-dry your hair first, as wet hair appears longer, while it is easier to make precise cuts dry. Blending techniques allow shorter locks into longer ones for a softer and fuller appearance.
