Dude Hairstyles

Many celebrities are hairstyle connoisseurs.

Hairstyles for guys are less complex than women's. The length of the top, sides and back help create individual styles. Treatments such as straightening, styling products, texturizing or color help define individual styles or create variations of other styles. Celebrities often drive hairstyle trends for men and women. Some popular male celebrity hairstyle connoisseurs include Adam Lambert, Orlando Bloom, Jake Gyllenhaal and Chance Crawford.

Straight and Tousled

The straight and tousled hairstyle is a medium-to-long style. This hairstyle features a heterogeneous mixture of straightened and tousled strands. The sides and the back are textures and cut short. The top length is approximately half the length of the bangs. The bangs are straightened and swept to the side of the face. This style is used by celebrities like Zac Efron.

Side Toss

The side toss is a medium-length style. This hairstyle is worn casually without straightening. The part is graduated toward either side of the face without a definite scalp line split. The bangs are swept to either side, and bangs that do not sweep are trimmed to open up the face. The sides are left longer than the straight and tousled style and the transitional length from the bangs to the top is more graduated and less pronounced than the straight and tousled style. The side toss is used by celebrities such as Chance Crawford.

Layered Mess

The layered mess is a medium-length style. This hairstyle is cut short on the sides and in the back with clippers and a large guard or scissors. The top has a uniform maximum length with textured layers that sweep forward across the top of the scalp. There is no part with this style and the forehead is fully exposed, because the bangs are spiked up in the front with a dry pomade or hair mud. A highlight treatment on the long tips can enhance the spikiness of this look. Celebrities such as Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal have used this hairstyle.

Faux Hawk

The Faux Hawk is a short- or medium-length style. This hairstyle is derived from the Mohawk, because it features short sides and length along the middle of the scalp. The top is textured heavily and features layers that gradually transition toward longer strands at the center of the scalp. The outer layers on the left and right side of the scalp fall toward the center of the scalp. Pomade, paste or styling mud support the direction of the strands by shaping this style. Celebrities such as Orlando Bloom have used this hairstyle.

Emo Shag

The Emo Shag is a medium-to-long hairstyle. This style features asymmetrical long and short bangs, long sides and mid-length strands on the top and the back. The hair is shagged out and straightened with a flatiron. The crown is spiked and layered strands flow forward and to either side without a definite scalp line part. The sides are straightened to frame the face and fall over the ears. Celebrities such as Adam Lambert use this hairstyle.
