10/17/2016 0 Comments The Shag is BACKThe shag hairstyle is very rock’n roll — casual, mussy and visually effortless. Think “bedhead.” The typical features that make up a shag hairstyle include choppy ends, loads of layers around the crown and lots of texture.
The shag works on almost every hair texture and in every hair length. One has to be careful with the shag because a hairstyle with too many layers can appear dated. Search online for shag hairstyles (or on Pinterest) and the images that appear show women with hairstyles that seems straight out of 1999. The modern shag is choppy, has lots of texture but doesn’t resemble an 80s hair band. The images in this gallery show off the very best shag hairstyles today. 26 of the Most Amazing Shag Hairstyles Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017. Yes, you read that right, Spring and Summer 2017. See what's trending (already) for next Spring.
Every year, New York Fashion Week sets the style and beauty trends for the upcoming season. Known for its often wild, always chic looks, this year's Fashion Week didn't disappoint, emphasizing everything from natural beauty, to stylish sophistication, to high-fashion drama and more. Below, are compiled some of the standout trends from the NYFW Spring/Summer 2017 runways so you can get a leg up on the looks that are sure to take over salons this season. Urban Girl: Ease meets edge in this trend that's all about the effortlessly cool girl with major street cred. Put together but never prim, the look is equal parts rock and roll, laid back, and totally flawless. Boho Beach Babe: Salty sea strands extend the warm, sunny days for spring 2017, while sun-kissed skin and wave-inspired nails have us dreaming of an endless summer. Perfectly imperfect, feminine and carefree, these just-off-the-beach looks never go out of style. Natural Beauty: What's more beautiful than the uniqueness of the individual? Not much, as this trend that emphasizes natural textures and styles proves. Desert Chic: Inspired by the soft, muted colors of desert scenes like California's Joshua Tree National Park and nomad drifters that inhabit the landscape, this trend is all about earthy, airy locks that are both light and effortless at once. Minimal Muse: Sleek and structured, the minimalist look seen on this season's runways was not to be confused with the effortless trend. Though simple in nature, minimalist hair is all about high-shine and intricate styling for an ultra-polished, ultra-put-together finish. Whimsical Wonder: Sometimes it's good to just have fun with hair, and thankfully this season's trend of lighthearted, whimsical looks is lighting the way. Emphasizing natural texture coupled with fun, easy styles and attention-grabbing accessories, the whimsical trend is sure to delight all your young-at-heart clients. 90s Babies: The era of the Millenials - the 90s - ruled this season's runways, with grungy waves and rebellious cuts taking over at shows. Meanwhile, a nod to 90s hip hop found its home in "Around the Way" cornrows and Kool-Aid colors and Millenial-inspired strands dominated the DKNY runway. The overall consensus? The Nineties are back, baby! 60s Sirens: All the style of the Sixties with a new twist, this trend payed homage to the decade of transitions. Sometimes soft and feminine - but always with a fierce independent streak - the 60s sirens of this season's runways captured the simultaneous youth and elegance of a new era of womanhood through classic styles, newly deconstructed. Above Average Accessories: What better way to jazz up a classic hairstyle than with accessories? It's basically Hair 101, but Fashion Week took it one step further this year, incorporating unusual and eye-catching accessories from strips of woven-in fabric, to bandanas, to tightly cinched belts.

Have you ever been scared to try a taper because you think it goes down to skin? Do you even know what a taper is? This post is going to answer all of these questions and much more. You will pretty much get the break down on "The Taper." What is a taper? Ta-per: diminish or reduce or cause to diminish or reduce in thickness toward one end. Now what does it mean in the barbershop? It's not rocket sciences! It means the length of the hair reduces size in the "temple" area and/or in the "nape" area....Got it? No? Let's dummy it down for all y'all knuckleheads. It pretty much means the hair gets shorter on the sideburns and the neck area. Got it? No? Shit, at this point stop reading and head to the barbershop. Ask for a taper. They'll know. Not all tapers are "bald" tapers There are so many times when I recommend a taper to a client and they refuse because they think it goes down to skin. I mean, yes it can go down to skin but that's just one of the few. Tapers come in different shapes and sizes. Examples of different tapers Long on top + Size 4 on the sides + Size 2 on the neck? TAPERED
Size 3 all around + Bald on the neck and sideburns? TAPERED Finger length on top + Size 4 on the sides + Size 2 on sideburns + Bald on the neck? TAPERED Get the picture? Who's it for? Let's be honest, if you're not getting your hair tapered, you're stuck in the 70's and probably rocking a mullet (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). It's definitely recommended for everybody to get a bit of a taper. The benefits? The haircut looks a little bit cleaner, the ladies love the shorter hair on the back of the neck, and the haircut can last a tad bit longer. Conclusion? Get a Taper. Men do not usually study beauty in the same manner that female consumers do, and it is the stylist or barber’s job to teach your clients on maintaining their look weeks after they leave the salon.
For a well-rounded approach to personal care and a clean start to spring (or fall), here’s what you should be doing (and dodging) for the rest of your life: TO TAKE 1. Treat yourself to a pedicure. 2. As the weather warms up, all men should treat themselves to a pedicure. Spring means breaking out the sandals after months of hibernation in boots and thick socks, so there’s no shame in getting a much-needed scrubbing and buffing. 3. Tend to your skin. 4. Most men abide by a wash-and-go routine for their face, neglecting to replenish their skin with moisture. But building a skincare regimen is vital in maintaining healthy, smooth skin. Wash, tone, and moisturize daily—and don’t forget to exfoliate regularly. 5. Tame those errant hairs. 6. Follow the three commandments of putting your best face forward: Trim your eyebrows if they’re overwhelmingly bushy, wax away ear hair, and eliminate visible nose hair. Electric trimmers and mini scissors were made for keeping these features in check. Nobody likes to see unruly hairs poking out and taking care of the little details will go a long way. 7. Know your texture. 8. When styling your hair, make sure you choose a product that actually works for your texture. A heavy wax will weigh down fine hair, so opt for a lightweight texturizing product like Grooming Cream Ultralight Hold. For thick, coarse hair, avoid matte pomades in favor of liquid-based serums, gels and balms like Control Balm Strong Hold. 9. Frame your face. 10. Any kind of beard, whether it’s a full-grown forest or a five o’clock shadow, can be tailored to flatter your face. For those who want a well-defined beard line, adhere to the line of your jaw rather than your neck, as doing so can lead to a rounder shape and deemphasize the natural angles of your face. For a more lived-in look, taper your scruff slightly, so that it takes on a subtler but still flattering shape. 11. Keep it short and simple. 12. For guys who have receding or thinning hair it’s best to keep things on the shorter side. Don’t attempt to grow out fine hair—a shorter cut adds density and gives the appearance of fullness. TO TOSS 1. Dirty tools. 2. Consider this a PSA: grooming tools don’t clean themselves. If you’re guilty of going weeks without sanitizing your razors and clippers, remember that unsanitary tools are a breeding ground for bacteria and dead skin buildup. Disinfect them regularly and store them in a dry place. If you leave them on your sink or in your shower, they can easily rust and lead to an improper shave. 3. Using body products on your face. 4. Stop washing your face with bar soap. The ingredients are formulated for your body and can dry out and tighten the skin on your face. Instead, invest in a facial cleanser formulated for your skin type. 5. Neglecting your nails. 6. Ragged, overgrown claws are as unsightly as they are unhygienic, so it’s best to always keep your nails neat and trimmed. Well-groomed hands are an integral part of making a good first impression. 7. Shaving without prep. 8. Razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and red skin are prime offenders of a poor shaving routine. Prepping your skin and softening the beard before a shave is essential, as is shaving along the grain of the hair, not against it. Start with a warm towel followed by Beard Oil, Smooth Shave Cream or Clean Shave Hydrating Gel Cream. Treat the skin post-shave with a cold towel and aftershave or moisturizer to soothe. 9. An overpowering beard. 10. Don’t let your fuzz wear you. If a burly, lumberjack beard is your look of choice, continue to rock it but keep it clean and shaped. 11. DIY haircuts. 12. Leave the haircuts to the pros. Even if you’re in between trims and tempted to use that stray razor to clean up your neckline, more often than not doing it on your own leads to a crooked line.
