A disconnected undercut is more daring than its counterpart; its distinct contrast between short and long locks makes it an excellent look for those with longer hair.
Queer cuts require less maintenance than shorter haircuts, since you won’t need regular trims. Find an LGBTQ-friendly salon or barber shop specializing in queer cuts to help you achieve this look.
Taper Fade
A taper fade is a hairstyle that gradually shortens the sides and back of your head while leaving the top longer, perfect for guys seeking to add style and sophistication to their appearance. It can be worn with nearly any haircut but is particularly suited to shorter types; low taper fades are a particularly subtle transition between your longer locks and any short sections, while mid and high taper fades can be more aggressive; as such, a low taper fade is the least aggressive of these three options.
The mid-taper fade is another variation of this style that creates a clear separation between longer hair and the short sections on the sides and back of your head. It works well with various hairstyles and adds contrast while simultaneously adding structure. Furthermore, this cut requires minimal upkeep and is suitable for all hair colors (blondes and grays alike!).
Loose Curls
This style exudes Farrah Fawcett vibes, and looks best with hair that reaches at least chin-length. To achieve it, start with clean hair and apply lightweight products like our Honey Infused Wash and Go Combo before sectioning and curling each strand away from your face in large sections – be sure to alternate each time to avoid one giant ringlet!
Once your hair is dry, experimenting with texture by spraying salt spray adds volume and creates an effortless style. Loose curls work beautifully with long or asymmetrical bangs that fall to one side of your forehead, or standard straight across bangs that reach past your eyebrows. However, looser coils require additional care in their care routine for optimal styling.
Tapered Fade with Bangs
A taper fade with bangs is an incredibly stylish haircut, ideal for long, loose locks that can easily be styled with water-based hair products. To achieve the look, simply have your barber taper your hair down into either a low or mid-fade and keep the top section around 4 inches long.
A fade is distinct from a taper in that it gives the appearance of hair fading into the skin while tapering simply creates a gradual decrease in length. A fade can start at any height – from low or high near temples or ears or just above them.
When searching for a barber or hair salon offering taper fade with bangs, always read reviews online to help find someone with experience working with various hairstyles that can accommodate your personal preferences.
Van Dyke
Van Dyke beards are the dream of many men because they embody masculinity and drama in one stunning look. Perfect for expressing one’s macho side while adding elegance to any look, Van Dyke beards make for an eye-catching statement!
Variations on the Van Dyke look can include donning it with a mustache and beard of unequal lengths, creating a striking yet sophisticated appearance. Apply some beard wax or oil to shape and maintain its appearance around your chin area for the optimal effect.
