What summer hairstyles started for men, fall is continuing and going one better. Expect to see longer styles that find their style from products that give body and hold. The length is anywhere from long in the front to the middle of the neck. This “long hair” trend isn’t the long hair of the ‘80’s but it’s definitely making a statement that men’s hairstyles haven’t seen in almost a decade.  

This long hair trend means a little more work to get out the door looking great, but it also means more diversity and the retro GQ look that gave the guys who could pull it off the hair every girl wanted to run her hands through. To be in step this fall, you’ll need a cut that focuses on layering your hair so that it follows your natural hairline and any unruly cowlicks or waves that are more easily managed with short, close-cropped hair. You’ll definitely need products that work with your hair type and that provide the hold you need. If you’re like most guys, you’ve got a spot or two where your hair just refuses to cooperate. Long styles can be more forgiving if you have the right products because you can style your way out of unwanted waves or parts. To find what you need either go to a professional stylist with a picture and let him or her go to work cutting, styling and selling you what they used to achieve your look. For do-it-yourself styling, fix your hair the way you’d like it to look taking note of the difficulties you have getting your look to come together or stay put. Then go shopping for the product designed specifically for your need – super hold, straightening power, curl creation…

The trend for fall leans more to clean styling and less to the messy tresses of the late ‘90’s. Styles are more business casual. Look for long bangs that almost feather or go behind the ear. Bangs will also frame the faces of stylish guys this season and aren’t afraid to show off low lights. Lengths in the back range from short layers to mid-neck. Look for layers that will style with gel or longer lengths that look best straight and smooth. The goal is styled but smooth and soft and irresistible.

The bottom line for fall hairstyles is, put down the scissors and pick up the styling products. Don’t be surprised to hear more men become knowledgeable of straightening irons and products they once never knew existed. The look is throwback to the GQ guys of yesterday with the unmistakable twist of 2008. Get ready to attract the attention of ladies who just can’t keep their hands off.
