Long and wavy
Worn here by Simon Baker, aka the Mentalist, this cut is great for hair with wave and textures that are more difficult to keep in check in a shorter cut.
Cut: To enhance the wave, ask your stylist for an all-over layer cut about 2&1/2 inches on top, and slightly longer in the back. A razor cut will help enhance texture.
Products: A spritz with a salt spray to add volume and texture, then a bit of mud for definition. Finger comb and let dry!
Long and low maintenance
Next we look at a little longer cut from the good guy/bad guy character played by Colin Farrell on True Detective.
Cut: You want a scissor cut with mild layering, keeping a heavy perimeter.
Products: Start with a great shampoo and conditioner such as American Crew Thickening, then add grooming cream for the finish. Either lightly dry or air dry for a natural finish.
Long and natural
Now on to someone who almost anyone can relate to, actor and style icon Johnny Depp.
Cut: A square layered scissor cut is what you want, about four inches on top with corresponding length on the sides and back.
Products: Apply a volumizer like Schwartzkoff mouse, followed by an application of Argan oil and a light blow dry for a natural finish.
