french crop

El french crop It is one of the most flattering cuts out there. Characterized by some very short sides contrasting with a slightly longer, forward-combed top with bangs. We could say that it is the second option after shaving for those who bet on very short hair. What many do not know is that the french crop It is an evolution or reissue of the classic hairstyle of the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus, who wore it with his recognizable curls. It triumphed in the 90s among other things because many celebrities like Brian from the 'Backstreetboys' wore it; and, now, in 2016 it has returned with strength and to stay. By the way, this cut works well for both straight and wavy hair and, in addition, within it we can play with different lengths of bangs.

Medium long bangs

The long pop-style bangs could well be an evolution of the french crop. For this cut, the bangs are left longer and more populated like the sides that, instead of going in a hurry, are left slightly longer. It is a cut to be done with scissors, leaving the area of ​​the sides more unloaded as opposed to a very dense fringe. It also works great for both straight and wavy hair. The hairstyle became very fashionable in the 90s by bands like 'Blur' and today it has made a strong comeback due to its versatility.

Undercut

El undercut It is the haircut of the moment, the hairstyle that sweeps social networks like Instagram. A haircut that is basically done with the fade or fade technique. The cut is characterized by a long and voluminous top, contrasting with short sides that are decreasing from longer to short, top to bottom. The cut can be done by creating a more subtle evolution of the length of the hair or, on the contrary, creating large and emphatic contrasts. This type of cut has so many possibilities that today we could say that it has become a viral phenomenon.

Short blunt

The blunt cut is characterized by short locks that are very discharged. It is usually worn with the sides very tight and is done emphasis on the toe of the top. It is a very versatile cut despite being quite short since it can be played with hair in different finishes. It works well with hair up or spiky and, in the same way, playing with the strands in different directions.

Pompadour and Toupee

The pompadour had its heyday in the 50s. The hairstyle characterized by combed hair like a toupee swept at this time thanks to the 'Grease' phenomenon or the popular Elvis. Although, what not everyone knows, is that it owes its name to the aristocrat Madame Pompadour, one of the lovers of Louis XV, who wore these raised and voluminous bangs. Nowadays he has made a strong comeback thanks to style icons such as David Beckham or Bruno Mars. The modern pompadour has been reinvented with heavily faded and short sides, as opposed to heavily bushy bangs..

Side parting on short hair

The stripe to the side is a another of the classics of men's hairdressing that never goes out of style. In fact, it is a hairstyle that has been in trend since the 4th years. It has never stopped getting carried away. The side parting is the wild hairstyle, a style that suits most men and that can be worn with both short hairs and longer hairs. The last update of the cut is the one that marks the line in a fixed way, an effect that is achieved by drawing it during the cut with the shaving machine.

Style against

It triumphed in the sixties popularized by the urban tribe of English origin. The mods they made this fashionable hairstyle with short and straight bangs with semi-long sides that become more prominent in certain areas such as the sideburns. The cut can be worn as we see with a slight movement at the ends or combed for an ultra-smooth effect. Groups like 'Oasis' have been champion of this cut that timidly begins to become fashionable again.

Asymmetric

The cut is marked by a great asymmetry in which the tight sides contrast with very long layered bangs. We could classify it as a variant of undercut, as it is also achieved with the gradient or fused technique.

Today, there are those who have marked the radicality of this cut with shaved lines on the sides achieved with the razor.
