Metro sexual is the buzz word of the moment but what is so wrong with guys taking as much interest in their appearance as their female or gay counterparts.
The beauty industry as a whole has finally worked out that your half of the market has been very neglected, so look out for make-up for men (check out the new Jean Paul Gautier's range) and the hairdressing industry has suddenly been flooding publications such as ours with what used to be scarce male images.

The
No-Hawk!
Looking
for a little hair inspiration? Tired of that same old style? Well,
get on board with the No-Hawk, a short cut where the hair is styled
to form a spikey peak at the top of the head (think of it as the
21st century mohawk).
US
stylist Louise Moon recently created the No-Hawk for Newlywed
Nick Lachey for a recent magazine photoshoot; it's simple
to create but still packs a serious punch. Using L'Oreal Professionnel
Textureline and Kiwi Colorflector products, below is a step-by-step
guide to creating the newest 80's fashion throwback.
For men who crave secret styling tips from the pros, this is how
to do it:
-
Begin by vertically ironing small pieces of clean dry hair with
a narrow flat iron.
-
Rub Textureshine between your hands and grab small pieces of
the hair, smoothing it up away from the head with your fingers.
-
To get a firm, spiky hold, mix Textureshine and Kiwi Colorflector
Illuminator Firm Gel, regulating the hold by how much gel you
use.
-
Finish by lightly misting the sides, front and back of the No-Hawk
with Kiwi Rock-It Spray.

Classic cuts
for men are always going to be in fashion but long or medium length
hair has also made
quite a comeback. Ponytails however are not a happening thing
and can definitely look sleazy!
If you are going
to keep it on the long side, make sure there are no hard blunt lines,
keep your hair feathered and a little unkempt looking.

If the
idea of longer hair is really not you then don't despair
as the short groomed men's look is never really out of fashion.
To give it a current edge though keep it hard and mean (think
Olivier Martinez and if you don't know who he is ask your
girlfriend because she will)!
