Best Men's Hairstyle for Straight or Wavy Hair
About this video
Weston and guest hair stylist Kyle Krieger discuss the best hairstyles for men with straight and wavy hair, covering styling techniques, product recommendations, and how hair texture and lifestyle affect styling choices. They explain the challenges of different hair lengths, provide step-by-step pompadour styling instructions, and offer tailored advice for men with coarse or fine hair textures.
Key takeaways
- Weston argues that straight and wavy hair offer styling versatility, but middle-length hair is the most challenging to style well
- Krieger recommends that styling a pompadour requires a blow-dryer with a directional nozzle, a three-step product approach (pre-style, style, finish), and proper towel-patting technique
- Weston notes that men with coarse hair should work with the hair’s architecture by creating sharp fades and growing out length on top, while those with fine hair can use volumizing products like mousse, salt spray, or powders to add texture and height
- Weston emphasizes that lifestyle and time commitment are key factors in choosing a hairstyle, with very short or very long styles requiring the least maintenance
