Men’s Hair Trends Fall/Winter 2012


Congratulations Gentlemen, for a rare occasion in trendsetting, men’s fashion is actually ahead of the ladies!  Take this opportunity to reinvent your style, whether it be a subtle change or one worth working towards. The biggest influence we are seeing in today’s trends for you guys is 1920’s fashion and that is not just limited to hair, hence: “Everything old is new again.”
So, first and foremost the most popular trend we are seeing in the Men’s department is shorter in the back and sides, yet lengthier on the top. The beauty of it is the hairstyle can be modified to whatever your personal needs are. Let’s take a look at some different variations of this style:


1. Michael Pitt ( James "Jimmy" Darmody )





3. Jon Hamm ( Don Draper )





As you can see, there is a gray area with this look. Luckily, we've taken the general idea and offered more options all the way from those of you who tend to be more conservative to those that want to channel an edgier (yet classic) style. It all depends on what your needs are and if you are willing to venture into the world of hair product and (minimal) styling. We promise, it is not as bad as it sounds!!
Speaking of product, this is the perfect opportunity to introduce you to your hair’s (potential) new best friend. Unite’s Liqua Versa Gel is the product we have nominated as the best candidate. Offering versatility, control, and strong hold, Liqua Versa Gel will virtually do the work for you! 

Tip #1: For starters, towel dry your hair to about 50%. We recommend using about a dime sized amount for styles and lengths similar to the of Zac Efron displayed in picture #4.  Play around with the hair on the top by combing to the side or styling up (using fingers) for texture
Tip #2: For the more pronounced  inspired style like #’s 1, 2, and 3, we say have at it! Don’t be afraid of using too much. This is not like all gels it is made with sugars instead of alcohol so it leaves you free of the stereotypical flaky gelled look. Definitely use your comb for styling whether it is the slicked back or side parted look you are going for. 
Tip #3 To create more volume try using a hair dryer for the top front section for just a couple of minutes in an upward motion.


Don’t be shy when it comes to your personal style, do what works for you! Discuss it with your hairstylist at your next appointment. We love being able to switch things up and if you want something with the longer lengths give us something to work towards. As we stated above, this is a very rare time in fashion in which men are ahead of women….embrace it!

Once again, congratulations men!! It seems we ladies have some catching up to do! Until then, enjoy this time in which the fashion is high and the hair is dapper. We are loving it!
