Description: Stressed out about your graying mane? Don’t be!
Keyword: barbershop NYC
Unfortunately, graying hair is something all of us can not get away from. Many
men think silvering of their temples and facial hair to be the foretokens of
the upcoming old age. Oftentimes it’s not the case. Hundreds of adult men rock
graying beards and lion manes even though they are barely in their 30s! So stop
being a metaphorical spoilsport and learn to adapt to your silvering curls with
grace. Since you are a spoilsport, who is probably still not persuaded, we are
here to help you, pal. Here are three main facts why you shouldn’t hurry to the
nearest NYC barbershop and ask to be covered in layers of whatever they call a
hair dye!
The argument number one is… ladies love it. Yes, believe it or not, but most
women favor men with some miles on them. Nothing screams “miles” more than a
nice patch of graying hair. Speaking teen lingo “chicks will dig you”. If you
didn’t like this bout of douchebaggery, then congratulations, you are not an
immature teenager wannabe. You are probably a self-aware and proud male, who
would prefer being recognised as such. It also means you are more likely to be
into more sophisticated women, who will doubtlessly appreciate the “life
experience - gray hairs” package deal.
It’s fashionable. Yes, buddy, wipe that unsure look from your mug and don’t behave
so dumbfounded. Graying hair is a trend among both mature gentlemen and
adolescent boys. The second, evidently, can not wait to wear a natural full
head of gray locks. We are nearing the time, where every single male famous
person, who is thought to be desirable, is rocking a graying mane! Why would
you perceive yourself to be worse than George Clooney or Brad Pitt? Why would
you consider to refuse something young men all over the world try to aquire
with the help of peroxide and silver hair dyes? Rock your salt-and-peppered ‘do
like the trendy, sexy alpha male you want to be! Honestly, you don’t even have
to do anything to be fashionable!
It gives you the atmosphere of self-confidence and power. We’ve already
commented on the “miles” fact, but what you probably don’t understand is – gray
hair makes you look refined and worldly-wise. Furthermore, it doesn’t necessary
suggest old age. If worn with care and pride, it signifies the milestone in
life you’ve always dreamed of reaching when you were a boy. Hit the gym to keep
your body youthful and strong if you are afraid of losing muscle mass. Get a
nice haircut at the good NYC barbershop, revitalize your wardrobe with stylish,
age-appropriate clothes, and be the best version of yourself you can be! We
also suggest finding a pleasant, suitable fragrance. Leave that ocean-freshness
garbage to lads, who barely hit puberty. Opt for something worthy of a
confident, authoritative male you are. Preferably something musky, spicy, and
warm. A sharp dressed man with gray dusting his temples, who smells amazing.
Can you imagine something more awe-inspiring and worthy of admiration? Because
we surely can’t.
If you are still not convinced, make an appointment at your local barbershop
and ask for advice there. The specialist will be much more qualified to sort
out your mane than you and us combined. He will be able to explain how to take
care of the graying hair properly.
If you are a more mature gentleman, we suggest sticking to the classic
haircuts. Ask the specialist to give you a shorter cut. The French Crop will be
a wonderful option. It is perfectly suitable for sophisticated men, while
staying rather popular. It is also flattering for males with a receding
hairline or thinning hair. Another bonus is – it’s relatively low maintenance.
You won’t even have to style it if you don’t want to! Just let it fall into its
natural place. It will look good anyways. If you prefer to style it, opt for
using a lighter product instead of clays.
If you are into a slightly more sophisticated look, go for the slicked-back
haircut. It will look amazing with silvering of your locks. This hairstyle will
look the best if you have slightly longish straight hair. You can still work it
if you have a little curliness to your strands, but it is bound to be a little
bit more difficult to tame it. Ask the specialist to taper the back and sides
tightly – you don’t want them long and unruly, do you? Unfortunately, you might
need to avoid this particular style, if your hair is on the thinner side. It will
make the receding patches much more noticeable.
Go for a side-part if you are into a more dapper look. It will go well with
formal suits and semi-casual clothing. The base cut is rather generic – short
back and sides with slightly longer hair on top. The styling depends on your
facial structure, your preference, and your desires. We also suggest asking for
the advice provided by the professional. He will be able to evaluate the
situation adequately by deciphering your hair type and will recommend suitable
styling products. The parting process can be quite tricky. Use the medium-tooth
comb and apply the product when the hair is still damp from the shower.
If you want to be both classy and risky, ask for the pompadour! It will work
the best with thicker hair, but can be accomplished on a regular hair. If done
and styled smart, it might also be effective to hide some of the thinning
patches. Use blow dryer to add some volume to your hair.
The pompadour is too extreme? Go for a quiff! It is a slightly tamed version of
the aforementioned style. Ask a specialist in the barbershop in NYC for
recommendations on how to do it properly.
If you are on the younger side, and you sport a head of graying tresses, you
can get away with more modern cuts. You can probably pull off a textured cut
with a fringe. This particular hairstyle requires a little bit of length in
your curls. If you were blessed with a thick, gorgeous mane, this hairstyle
will be especially attractive for you. It might work on the thinning hair if
made slightly messier, but you are going to need to talk this over with a
professional hairstylist. Ask for the information about how to style this cut
correctly and choose the products suitable for this purpose.
Request a medium length scissor cut if your hair texture and thickness allow
you to! It won’t look as amazing if your mane is on the thinning side, though.
We sympathize with your desire to stay young and badass, but maybe choose
something, which actually might make you look at least somewhat good.
There are also a bunch of haircuts suitable for guys regardless of their age
and appearance. For example, you can always go down the memory lane to your
army days and choose a buzz cut! This particular haircut will never be out of
fashion. The only disadvantage is you need to have a nicely shaped head to
sport it the right way. If you are not blessed with the right shape of the
skull, go for the slightly square cut. The buzz cut looks good with both
fitting suits and sports gear, so you will be able to successfully wear it to
both a social event and to a hiking trip!
There are also cuts and styles we suggest ditching. Opt out of excessively
messy looks. They might be helpful when you try to mask the thinning patches,
but they are usually not a good look for a 40 something businessman. The same
goes for sharp and sudden undercuts. They do look good in combination with
silver hair, but usually only on young teenage boys. The last time you checked,
were you Zayn Malik? No? That’s what we thought. Lucky Blue Smith might work
it, but you surely can’t. Drop the idea of getting a quirky cut or style to
seem hipper. You don’t want to embarrass your kids, do you? However, we don’t
say you should ditch playing with lengths altogether. We just urge you to stay
withing the safe lines. Although, if you don’t have kids to embarrass, feel
free to experiment as much as you wish!
Remember that every suggestion is completely optional and there are no laws for
wearing a hairstyle. Do whatever you want to do and rock whatever hairstyle you
want to! Chop it all off or get yourself a hard part. Grow out a true lion’s
mane or shave a design in your sides. At the end of the day, it’s your hair and
no one can tell you what to do with it. Well, apart from your spouse. You don’t
want them to leave your sorry ass, do you?
Still, we suggest rereading this article the next time you decide to drench yourself in hair dye to mask your graying mane, and think about why you should not discard it so easily!.
