Runway-inspired men’s curly hairstyles
The loose afro
If you’ve got naturally curly hair with tight coils, why not opt for a loose afro this season? Perfect for laid-back guys, the key to achieving this look is keeping those effortless, bed-head inspired curls in place, which means minimal styling in the mornings.
Editor’s tip: Help to protect your coily texture from humidity and frizz by using TIGI Bed Head On The Rebound Curl Recall Cream. Just rub some product in your palms before evenly distributing on your curls using a scrunching action.
Long curls
Embrace your inner Tarzan and let your curls grow long ’till they reach your shoulders, as seen in the Maison Margiela AW16 show. Wear your hair in whichever parting you prefer, whether that be middle or side.
Matt curls
This season, it’s out with the shine and in with the matte! This casual, textured finish is perfect for those who like to keep their curls short in length, and effortless in attitude.
Editor’s tip: Just rub some VO5 Matt Clay through your hair to add texture and undone definition to your curls, and you’re set!
The full, front fringe
Fringes have plenty of benefits: they add an edge to your hairstyle, soften your face and look uber stylish with a great pair of sunglasses – not to mention, they’re great for camouflaging a larger forehead.
But bangs don’t have to be straight. Let your curls run wild in fringe-form by growing the front section of your hair slightly longer than the rest, and taking the back and sides a little tighter for ease of maintenance and styling.
The long, heavy side fringe
For a twist on traditional bangs, create a deep side-part and sweep your curls to one side to create a heavy side fringe. You can switch sides whenever the mood strikes you and, when using the right styling products, can create a contrast in texture!
Editor’s tip: Tuck the hair on the opposite side to your fringe behind your ear for extra neatness, and to help keep frizz at bay, work some VO5 Styling Wax through your curls to help style and define them.
