Buzz Cuts - Very Short Hairstyles for Men
Brad Pitt's buzz cutThe buzz cut seems to stay in style. No matter what the latest style trend is, you still see the buzz cut everywhere. Why not? This is a great opportunity for a man to get a whole new look. It is also a perfect way to start off the summer, nice and cool.
You really can not ask for an easier to maintain hairstyle. The buzz cut is virtually maintenance free. You can literally have your hair dry with a towel in a matter of seconds. No fussing with gels and sprays and never a need for blow drying. The best part is that you can stop worrying about those bad hair days. With a buzz cut you can always know what to expect.
The buzz cut is a very simple and generally quick hair cut. It gets it's name from the sound that the clippers make while the hair is being cut. Believe it or not, the buzz cut does come in different lengths. Some people prefer to have a shorter cut. In this case a shorter clipper attachment is used. This allows the clippers to get closer to the head, causing a closer cut.
Having a buzz cut does not mean foregoing style. There are many available. Some people prefer to have only the sides buzzed, while leaving more hair on top of the head for styling. This will allow for many different looks depending on if the hair is straight or curly, thick or thin.
It seems that at times of heightened military awareness, the buzz cut has a resurgence of popularity. Obviously, for those in the service this is out of obligation. However, it seems that this serves as a reminder to many individuals of how much simpler this would be to maintain. Not to mention that it is a nice clean cut look.

Punk Hairstyles
When you think about a punk hairstyle, there are many different fashions that you can incorporate. This article will give a quick rundown of the history of the style than followed by some suggestions on the different ways you can use punk hairstyle to make a statement about yourself.
To give you a better history of the punk hairstyle, it hails back to the 1970s. The inspiration for the hairstyle came from the punk rock music of the time. The musicians often would dye their hair and spike it. This was used as a way to send a message confronting the rules of everyday society.
Today with punk hairstyle, you can still decide to dye the hair, spike it, or do both. Some people will go for the full effort and both dye and spike the hair. You can go for a Mohawk if you wanted to go this route as well when spiking and dying the hair. Some people prefer not to spike the hair so you can do an un-spiked Mohawk if it speaks to you. Deryck Whibley of Canadian band fame Sum 41 has dyed his hair occasionally and simply worked to get full spikes going in all directions. To do a Mohawk, it is recommended that you cut the hair not used for the Mohawk to about 3/8” to ½” while keeping the Mohawk part of your hair as long as you want it to be. There is not a standard length for a Mohawk and it has more to do with how much you want to push your punk hairstyle. If you are choosing to dye your hair, it is normally recommended to choose unnatural colors such as red, pink, or blue. You can choose to dye your hair whatever color you want but these are the types of colors that hail back to the beginning of the punk hairstyle.
Depending upon the constraints if you have a job, you can potentially do a more moderate look. A good example is Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day fame. He spikes his hair to show disregard for society but his hair is shorter. This could fit both for a conservative day job and then you spike it at night to get the punk hairstyle to show who you really are.
As you can see, a punk hairstyle is not for everyone. For that person who wants to stand out and is not for everyday conformity, this hairstyle can fit. Browsing through pictures can give you a better idea how you will really want to style your hair.

Gold Dreadlocks
Dreadlocks (locks) can be an expression of ethnic pride, religious, or a fashion preference. Matted hair can form naturally without the use of brushes, combs, razors or scissors for a long period of time. If you have a straight hair, you need a little effort to dreadlocks your hair by using backcombing. To make dreadlocks with gold color like this, usually you need to color your hair. Simply color it by putting on a two tone hair color. The front is a light brown & the back is gold. You can color it with a rinse. You can also lighten it with bleach. Gold color usually make you look sallow.

There is a myth that dreadlocks are not dirty unless you are just naturally a dirty person to begin with. In reality, you can and should wash your locks at least once a week. Dreads lock-up better when they are clean. By not washing your locks, you can actually ruin your hair permanently and your dreads will look less then appealing.

Mohawk Hair Styles - History, Versions, How to Style, & Pictures Gallery
Mohawk hairstyle. Russell Mitchell, a bike builder, with his distinctive mohawk hair.
The Mohawk hairstyle can be found through out history. It is most related to the Native American Mohawk Indian tribe, however, there have also been discovered, the remains of mummies, thousands of years old, sporting Mohawks.
The punk rock movement of the early eighties is accredited for the popularity of the Mohawk. It was seen as a symbol of rebelling against authority, which is what the basis of punk was, rebelling against all types of authority, social and political. In recent times, the Mohawk has again appeared on the scene, however, this time, it knows no boundaries.
Varieties
This hairstyle adds flair to anyone brave enough to wear it. There are several different versions of the Mohawk, but the classic version is always a hit.In the classic version of the Mohawk, the sides are shaved all the way up, leaving a strip down the middle of the head, usually approximately an inch wide. Some choose to have it stop at the crown, while others like for it to go all the way down to the nape of the neck.
The newest version of the classic Mohawk is the faux-hawk. In this version, the sides are not shaved completely, usually done using a two guard on the clippers, and blended up. Then the top is cut in an angled fashion, so as the wearer can gel the center up, with the sides coming in to form the ridge of the “hawk”. This style is good for business people, who like the style of the Mohawk, but can’t necessarily wear it to work. All types of people are wearing this hairstyle, from rockers to bankers, and rebels to state troopers. Men, women, boys, and yes, even girls…. babies too! It’s everywhere you turn. The faux-hawk can be worn down, in the “Caesar cut” style, or in a messy spike style.

There are more variations of Mohawk such as, Bihawk (two strip of long hair with shaved portions between), Trihawk (three strip of long hair with shaved portions between), Reverse Mohawk (the opposite of a Mohawk), Fanned Mohawk (resemble a fan mohawk), Frohawk (African-American/Afro mohawk), Liberty Spikes (look like the spikes on the Statue of Liberty's crown), Dreadhawk (dreadlocks-mohawk), etc.
How to Make a Mohawk
Once you have gotten the Mohawk style that you like, the maintenance can be fairly intense. You will need to have the sides shaved on a regular basis, and be sure to keep those lines clean, or you will end up with a much thinner version, or even a crooked version of your original Mohawk. When you are styling your Mohawk, the easiest way to achieve the height you are looking for, is to dry with a blow-dryer using gel. Apply the gel on the hair closest to the scalp first, and work your way up. Using your blow-dryer and a comb, dry from the scalp out, this will help to create a foundation for your Mohawk. A hard-hold paste works very well for this, as it is already somewhat dry. Once you’ve got the Mohawk up, and in the desired shape, use a hard hold hairspray, preferably one that is humidity resistant with little to no water in it.Mohawk Hair Gallery

Military Haircuts for Men: Flat Top, High and Tight Haircut
Military hairstyleMilitary hair cuts look great on men of all ages and are often seen on every one from little boys to professional business men. The military cut is called such because it mimics the standards that are required for men who are enlisted in the armed forces in America. As we all know, men in the military are required to keep their hair at a very short length. Men in the military are allowed to wear just about any style of short hair, but there are a couple of different types of military haircuts. Of course, you do not need to be in the military to wear one of these hair styles and some of these military haircut styles are quite popular. A man will want to take into consideration what type of military haircut style they want to wear. In the following article, we will review some of the different types of military haircuts.
High and Tight Haircut
First off, there is the high and tight cut, which is a variation of the buzz cut. The usual length for this haircut is one sixteenth of an inch. This is a length that is very nearly shaven. The reason that many men in the military and out of the military get this type of military haircut style is because it is known to make the face more attractive looking. With this haircut, there is more emphasis put onto the cheekbones and the eyes. Therefore, if you are interested in putting more emphasis in the regions of your eyes and cheekbones, the high and tight is the hair style to go with. The high and tight military haircut may very well be the most commonly worn military hairstyle. In US Military, many hairstyles are acceptable, as long as they are neat and conservative, as regulation explained on http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r670_1.pdf.

The flat-top military haircut is another one of the more popular military hair styles. The flat-top haircut is a style that is done to give the hair on the top of the head a flat appearance while the rest of the hair is shaved off. The hair on top will be kept anywhere from half of an inch to an inch tall. The men that choose this style in the military are the ones who would like to keep their hair just a little longer than the rest. For those men outside of the military who would like a military style haircut without having to nearly shave their head, the flat-top is the way to go. There are some other military haircuts, but these two are the most popular among the men who are in the military and the men who are not. Most of the other military haircuts are very similar to the two fore mentioned hair styles in this article.

How to Cut A Military Haircut
The edges of the military haircut define the cut. They are cut in what is commonly referred to as a high and dry cut. This means that the hairs around the back of the neck and the hairs around and above the ears are cut tightly along the growth of the natural hair line. There are no hairs left looking jagged or out of line, this cut is precise.The entire head of hair is electric razor or clipper cut; this is also commonly called a buzz cut or crew cut. The cut itself is performed with an electric razor over a comb or with various sized attachments over the razor, these attachments are numbered. This is how some men ask for their trim: “I would like a number three on the top and a number one on the sides and in the back.” You can ask the professional stylist that is performing your hair cut what number guard or razor attachment they are using for your cut. This will help you to be specific when you return for a trim.
The hair around the top of the head and the crown should be kept slightly longer and it should be blended into a very tight cut around the ears and neck hairline. The top can be cut into a box effect which will be a flat top or the hair can be rounded to take the shape of the head. The top is usually left no longer than one or two inches in length and the sides and back are usually faded into a eighth of an inch or even bald.
How to Maintain the Hairstyle
Military cuts for men are one of the easiest cuts to maintain and keep looking great day after day. They are a wash and go look that consistently looks great with very little hands on or styling efforts. This is one of the reasons that so many men enjoy these cuts. The other reason that men enjoy these cuts is because they are so versatile. They look great with formal clothing and with casual clothing; these cuts look great at the beach and at a wedding; these cuts look great on children and on business men.Maintaining a military haircut is fairly easy to do. Simply have the cut shaped up and the edges trimmed with an electric razor every few weeks. If the haircut is not consistently reshaped every four to six weeks (or sometimes even sooner) it will lose the sharpness of the cut and the style will begin to look sloppy and unkempt. There is nothing less professional looking than a man with a hair cut that looks totally great for several weeks and then awful before it looks great again. A true military cut is reshaped consistently and always looks sharp and cared for. The hair around the ears can also be shaped at home with an electric razor once or twice a week to keep it looking great each day.
