EXPERT TIP #2 – Kevin Murphy, International Stylist
#1 The current look for medium hair is basically short hair and has been slightly grown-out, just over the ears. Whatever you do, don’t over style it, you want the hair to have a natural texture and matte finish.
#2 The great thing about medium length cuts is that they’re so versatile and with the right products, you can have a new look every day.
#3 Many men don’t wash their hair properly, but if you’re going to let your hair grow out, using a good shampoo and conditioner is vital to keep it looking great.
#4 And the cut is really important. Make sure you ask your hairdresser for a square shape, because if the cut is too round it will look feminine.
