  First things first, there’s something we need to make very clear. As you’ve probably seen with many a male celebrity, there is a world of difference between simply deciding not to cut your hair one day, and growing your hair out with actual effort. And yes, you can tell the difference between the two. There are a few things you can do to make sure you don’t fall into the former category though, starting with…  Get As Many Opinions As Possible Before you decide to go full-Fabio, do a serious evaluation as to whether the product of your spent time and effort is actually gonna look good or not. Take a look in the mirror, use a snapchat filter, ask your family, ask your Mrs, ask your mates, ask anyone how they reckon you’d look with long hair. Also, don’t be afraid to cut it back if you don’t think it’s going to go as well as you thought. There’s no shame in trying, but we can’t all be Chris Hemsworth.  Match Your Style To Your Features There’s a few things that can determine just how good your mane is likely to look, and they all rest on your face. Having thicker hair in certain places (for instance a heavier top and thinner sides, or vice versa), can help accentuate or balance the features of your mug, meaning it’s important to get everything proportioned correctly. If you have large features (big nose, big lips etc.) or a rounder face, go for bigger, larger, more textured styles to soften them. Early Mick Jagger is a good example. If you have smaller features and a thinner face, a thinner, longer style is probably more suitable. Think Zlatan or Jared Leto.  Adjust Your Style As It Grows Of course, before you reach a glorious mane you’re going to go through months of awkward lengths, styles and unruliness that’ll make you question whether or not you want to continue. The answer to this issue is twofold. One, make sure you’re giving your hair the best chance to grow healthily by eating a decent diet and using conditioning products as it grows. Two. Don’t be afraid to get a little product involved to keep things looking presentable. It’ll take time for your hair to reach a long enough length to weigh itself down and look properly natural, so you may have to compromise for a while. Once It’s Grown, Let Your Barber Take the Reigns If you’ve grown your hair out right, it should need as little maintenance as possible to make it look good. If you want to blow dry it, go for it, but lay off on the styling products, unless of course you’re trying out for a Motley Crue tribute act. The hallmark of a grown-out hairstyle that works is that it should look good sitting naturally. If it doesn’t, then let your barber fix it or consider a change of style altogether. That being said, take care of your hair. Short hair might let you get away with being a little more relaxed on the shampoo and conditioner, but as any girl will tell you, long hair won’t afford you that luxury.  Always Keep It In Check Keeping your hair healthy often boils down to making sure you’re touching it as little as possible, but depending on how long you decide to go, you’re gonna have to figure out ways to make sure it’s not going everywhere when you’re playing sport, doing manual labour or even just walking in a windy day. The key here is to experiment with what suits you. Take as much inspiration as you’d like when it comes to buns, ponytails, headbands, bandannas or whatever, as long as you’re avoiding the top knot.

Now I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, I’m not a big follower of trends. I am, however, a big believer in doing what you want, wearing what you want, and experimenting as you like. With the closure of barbershops in 2020 (and into 2021), we were forced to decide, “do I grow it, or do I shave it?” As such, guys like us were given the opportunity to experiment with style. The hairstyles that we are seeing this year are the development of these lockdown looks. 1. Short & Textured I know from the video that I did about the death of the Skin Fade, there were so many comments saying, “what do you know… no, never… never giving up.” That is fine. Go wild. But with this ‘short & textured‘ hair trend, it’s less about solid structure and it’s more about movement. You can still go with your favourite fade, but it doesn’t need to be so severe. Try working with slightly longer length on the sides, or move the fade placement lower, to allow for a more tapered (and classic) look. With the hair on top, it’s all about adding shape and definition – for a choppy, textured, messy finish. This will then allow you to style with matte finish products for a really gritty finish.   2. New Longer Length‘New Longer Length’ is for anyone, like me, that experimented with longer hair in 2020. Now, these long hairstyles are going to be slightly more reminiscent of the nineties – think grunge with a really live-in finish. Again, it’s all about movement and texture. This hairstyle trend is all about just letting go and going with it. Enjoy it!   3. Natural Curls One of the biggest video trends that I’ve seen on YouTube is ‘curly hair to straight hair’. Loads of guys seem to be searching for it. But not in 2021! This year is about embracing those natural curls, from the Afro high-top skin fades (really short on the sides with a high, square top) to accentuating the curls on top with a shorter fade. There are loads of options. This trend really is about that juxtaposition of the short and the long. So keeping it really, really short on the sides and then having all those curls and the waves on top.   4. The Mullet Now, if during lockdown you completed Netflix, then I’m sure you watched Tiger King. Joe Exotic really did bring back that mullet… but maybe for all the wrong reasons. The mullet did, however, start to work its way back into the mainstream. Check out this mullet look on Troye Sivan.   5. Bald to Buzz For a lot of men struggling with hair loss and/or receding hairlines, a hairstyle’s primary purpose is to disguise bald patches. But 2020 saw men embracing the bald and going for the buzz cut. 2021 is less about the extreme buzz cut but more about experimenting with different types of buzz hairstyles. Even just the slightest change in length on the sides versus the top can make such a difference.  Watch The Video from Man for Himself
With barbershop and salon time limited this year, long hair and big beards are in.  Hockey and hair go together like peanut butter and jelly or a burger and fries with a milkshake on the side. They're a long-storied winning combination: from mullets to mustaches to playoff beards, the two are intertwined through the annals of sports history. This year is a special one and may go down in the record book with the best hockey-hair game ever. Why? Well, it's 2021 and we've been in a pandemic for almost a year. Many cities have shut down hair salons or people may not be clamoring for a new do right now. As a result, the flow this year is off the charts and the beards are already in grizzled, deep playoff-run mode. This list is going to take a look at the styles on the ice as opposed to the nicely-quaffed headshots (looking at you Rasmus Ristolainen). Here's a look at some of the early candidates for best hockey hair in 2021.  Mika Zibanejad, Rangers Zibanejad potted a career-best 41 goals and 75 points in 57 games last season, which included a five-goal night on March 5 against the Capitals. Comparing these flowing locks to the pics from then, it looks like the Rangers star forward hasn't cut his hair since then.  Kyle Palmieri, Devils It's been a few seasons since the veteran forward was in the playoffs, and almost six since he made a deep run with the Ducks, but this heavy beard is already playoff-worthy. The look also helps set him apart from some of his more babyfaced teammates, such as 19-year-old Jack Hughes and 22-year old Nico Hischier.  Adrian Kempe, Kings The Kings centerman has his hair slicked back in his headshot for 2021, so it's hard to gauge whether this is a traditional mullet. Regardless, he's got some serious lettuce going on.  Joe Thornton, Maple Leafs Timeless. Iconic. While he scared us all back in May when he shaved the beard off, it's back in all its glory for 2021. Jumbo Joe is on the shelf for a few weeks with a fractured rib and we'll surely miss seeing the whiskers.  Duncan Keith, Blackhawks The Chicago defenseman sported long locks in the bubble over the summer and it doesn't look like he's trimmed much off since then. Keith may have had long hair and didn't care, but he reportedly snipped his strands about 10 days into the season. Hopefully the three-time Stanley Cup champion didn't lose his hockey powers with the trim.  Brent Burns, Sharks Like Thornton's, this beard is an icon all its own. And it came in pretty handy when he was, what else, a Viking on the Amazon Prime series "Vikings."  Filip Forsberg, Predators Hockey player or evil cartoon character who spends his days twirling the ends of his mustache? Hard to tell, but it's a pretty fantastic look.  Jon Merrill, Red Wings The veteran defenseman may be wearing the winged wheel of the Red Wings now, but this mullet from his Golden Knights days is still flowing strong.  The Tanev boys Chris (Flames) and Brandon (Sabres) may be having a who-can-grow-their-hair-longer contest, but the younger brother has officially won the craziest headshot award.  Braden Holtby, Canucks Checking out this beard, and its unruliness, the Canucks netminder — and 2018 Stanley Cup champ — is ready for another deep playoff run with his new club.  Artemi Panarin, Rangers The Rangers forward is representing the curly-haired guys with aplomb as his ringlets pop out of his bucket. from SportingNews
