Super Short Side Part Hairstyle for Men
About this video
McGoff demonstrates how to style the classic short-on-sides, longer-on-top men’s haircut immediately after getting it cut. He explains product selection for thick hair, towel-drying techniques, and three styling options: a casual middle-forward look, a side part, and a slicked-back style that works well during the awkward growth-out period.
Key takeaways
- McGoff argues that thick hair requires high-hold, matte-finish products like putty rather than pomade to keep the style in place without a shiny appearance
- McGoff recommends working product thoroughly into hands and coating all hair strands evenly for optimal hold and styling
- McGoff suggests that consistently styling hair in the same direction trains it to naturally fall that way, making future styling easier as it grows out
