Men’s Short Hairstyles for Straight Hair: 3 Looks to Try
1. Comb Down Hairstyle
Grab a small dab of the Axe Clean Cut Look: Classic Pomade, lightly rub it between your hands, and run it through the top of your strands. Take your comb through the front strands of your hair and angle it down towards your face. The pomade gives even the straightest hair a piecey textured look and helps you achieve the laid-back/easygoing vibes you’ve been after.
2. Use Gel
If you have a history of trying hair products and not liking how they feel or look (ahem, greasy), then give this gel a chance. The AXE Spiked-Up Look: Extreme Hold Gel keeps your strands from looking greasy and gears your look more towards a healthy movie star-esque shine. Run a dime-sized amount of gel through the top of your hair, and use your comb to gently guide your hair away from your face. Gentle strokes are key and that’ll help you avoid the comb’s teeth from leaving a super defined trail.
3. Classic Styling
If you’re not really into hair products, simply try replacing your usual shampoo and conditioner with the Dove Men + Care Fresh & Clean Fortifying 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner. This two in one product will clean and refresh your hair and will have you looking your best. While you hair is still damp, run your comb through it and comb it to the side. It’ll dry in a soft and feathered style that is crunch-free.
