Gentlemen, get ready to turn back the clock! Classic styles are making a major comeback, and your hairstyle is the perfect place to incorporate a touch of timeless flair. Here at The Refined Man Barbershop, we’re not just about sharp cuts – we’re your guides to achieving iconic looks from any era.
Let’s explore some popular vintage styles and how to adapt them for the modern man:
-
1920s Slick Back: This polished style oozes sophistication. Achieve it with a modern water-based pomade for strong hold and a natural shine. Apply on damp hair, comb back straight, and define side partings for extra sharpness.
-
1930s Wavy Undercut: This textured look adds a touch of rebellion. Ask your barber for a short undercut on the sides and back. Use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment to create loose waves in the top hair. Finish with a matte clay product for a relaxed, textured hold.
-
1950s Pompadour: This iconic style screams rock and roll. Talk to your barber about creating a tapered cut with significant volume on top. Apply a strong-hold pomade to damp hair, blow dry while sweeping hair back and upwards. Pinch the front section to create height and secure with hairspray for a lasting pompadour.
-
1960s Mod Crop: This clean-cut style is perfect for the modern professional. Ask your barber for a short back and sides with a blunt cut across the top. Use a lightweight styling cream to achieve a polished, textured finish.
Pro Tip: Modern Products for Vintage Styles: Don’t be afraid to experiment with modern hair products to achieve a vintage look. Water-based pomades offer strong hold without the greasy feel of traditional options. Matte clays provide texture and definition, while hairsprays ensure your style stays put all day.
Beyond the Haircut: Remember, a vintage hairstyle is just one piece of the puzzle. Consider pairing your new look with classic clothing or accessories for a truly immersive experience.
