Curly hair for guys, much like the alleged existence of a men’s hair product that doesn’t double as a body wash, remains a mystery to many. Are you supposed to brush your curls?

In order to help you manage your curls in one of their most challenging seasons, we’ve created a roundup of inspirational styles. Curly hair for guys isn’t as complicated as it seems. Read on to get inspired:
