Surfer Hairstyles

Men's Surfer Hairstyle

Surfer Hair became popular in the late 60’s and had a long life that lasted throughout the 80’s. A shaggy, tussled hairdo bleached blond by long exposure by the sun make this hairstyle very popular in warm, beachy areas such as California and Hawaii. But guys across the country long to have the surfer hair cut. A trend that comes and goes, but never stays away for too long, surfer hair is summer.

The hair is kept long and in layers and the salt sea water, plus sand and tanning oil, make the hair a wind swept lovely mess. Nowadays, those seeking the surfer look can get it in any hair salon or right in front of their own mirror. Hair gels, hair wax and pomades create the "surfer look” in addition to some products that are specifically named for beach hair. Products such as those by Bumble and Bumble Beach Hair that actually has salt water in it, create just the perfect look.

The surfer hair cut has changed throughout the years. What was once made up of very long hair to the shoulder has not become shorter hair but with long layers. Bangs that can be put behind the ears but with the back barely hitting the shoulders. Parted to the side versus down the middle, creates this updated surfer look.

You can get thicker hair like a surfer by taking good care of your hair & using a good product/shampoo for the illusion of having thicker. It will give volume to your hair.

it sometimes helps the way you dry it, i kind of use a towel and go in circles in the back, (different direction each side) but it drys kind of like wings but looks good. lol it sounds gay but im serious.
im still trying to find a shorter cut tho cuz long hair is annoying

to thin your hair out just go to a beauty supply store and buy a comb with a blade in it and then before you take a shower be sure your hair is dry and comb through your hair as you regularly do then as you comb the blade in the comb will cut the top layer of hair off. and the good thing is that there is absolutely no way to mess up using a bladed comb.

my hair gets really curly, how would i achieve this kind of hair?

Stephen said...

You could straighten it with straightening irons or blow dry from root to tip using a brush to help. :) Hope I helped.

try actually going surfing and not washing it..the salt will seperate it out but you need to rinse it occasionally or it smells really bad and starts to dreadlock..not good, my ex will vouch for that

that is the ugliest sh*ttiest hair do ever

i have asian hair: black and straight. but it looks so thin. when i use wax, it tend to fall down, as if like i were never use any wax. i think my hair is too dry. and i use shampoo that cleans oil away. is this right?
this surfer-style hair looks really cool. i wanna try it!

Anonymous said...

If you use shampoo that cleans oil away, your hair will get dryer.
You should use a dry-hair shampoo that can add moisture to your hair. Conditioner is a must. Don't wash your hair too much.

Here is a little advice for anyone who is thinking about sportin' this do and has curly hair. First of, don't worry about getting this style or that style, just grow the shit out. When it starts to get long enough it will take on the "right" look. Second, take care of yer hair! This doesn't mean endless hours in the bathroom but keep it healthy. The "surfer" didn't style and primp.

::MaximuS:: said...

Third, don't forget to knick the ends of your bitchin' locks now and then, this will keep them from drying out, which is a real problem for those with curly hair. The forth, and most obvious tip is to just let your hair do it own thing when you get out of the shower/surf/pool. If you keep your hair a little dirty and keep it from drying and dying, it will dreadlock (not all frizzy though) itself. Those sought after tendrils the straight haired guys struggle for. I would also recommend getting your hair thinned out every three or four months, it will keep your mane healthier and managable, and it will increase your tousled, devil-may-care, look. The last tip is more of a Rule; don't be a sissy! There is nothing wrong with good hygiene and wanting to look nice but leave the curlers, flat irons, and $60 bottles of "Hair Serum" to the girls. The best way to look like a surfer is to act like a surfer, No Worries!

Hey there. Im 16, Have brown eyes and brown hair. My frindge has a split on the right so i try to cover it but i want my hair to grow into the surfer look...Any tips and could i do this style?

hogan said...

I have dark brown hair really thick never had it long always short was thinking of going with the surfer look. With blond high lights it seams my hair doesnt want to get long just thicker can I pull this hair style off I get really tan in summer will this look right on me.

Anonymous said...

hey all.

my hair is dark brown, i've got brown eyes, and tan skin (even in the winter) actually, i'm half-latino. :)

my hair is super soft. it get thick, but will also get long. it also is the kind of hair that will separate, hair by hair, so that, if unkept, will become a big globe of hair.

right now, i've got a bad cut, which disproportionates my hair. BUT when everything is equal again, i plan to do something different with it. if kept, it will naturally flick out. i would enjoy to try the surfer, but any other suggestions would be great.

seriously, living in a surfer community, the only real way to get the surfer hair style it to take on the surfer lifestyle, you know what i mean, water freak (swimming/watersports) and chilled out. that way, your hair may matt, but that is kinda the style. its a whogivesafuck kinda thing. i kinda stick to short hair tho as whenever i actually use a shampoo/conditioner, my hair looks like a perm. not good. but you can still take on the messy hair look with short hair. as i said, things come from your attitude.

Anonymous said...

well if you live near surf and sand get out there! they only way to acheive the real look is 2 live it! :) the sea salt and sand will turn your hair rough and un-tidy. grow your hair to about your chin or below and your kinda getting there!! :)

Tbh, this style suits just about everyone (: If you have short curly hair, it wont work - grow it long. My ex had short curly hair and when he came out of the sea he just looked retarded :L Just grow your hair down to the bottom of your ear-ish and dont get it cut. If you surf it helps to =D
I love guys who have this style hair (: it looks so natural! And Owen Wilson is just so hot (:

if you're having trouble achieving any of these hairstyles, but really really feel like it's the style for you, it's best to just cut your head off. it would look tons better... :D

I have semi-long hair, not quite to my jaw and brushing my neck.
Ive only occasionaly get chance to hang out at the beach, so when my hairs lookin tooo neat i rub shaving foam/cream in my hands and work it through.
It works, it feels the same as when ive been in the sea- but if you have greasy or oily hair already wash your hair before you do this. Then add when DRY
