We’ve all been through phases where we want to change our look, imagining hairstyles that suit us. The problem is that you won’t know which hairstyle will work for you until it’s there, and we occasionally regret our decision.
Rather than talking about hair loss, we want to help you with your new look by steering you away from some choices from a bygone era. Let’s take a look at some curious decisions.
The Man Perm
The perm has made a bit of a comeback over the last few years, but it’s very easy to get wrong if you don’t have the correct hair type. We’d advise against the man perm because it’s likely a fad that doesn’t scream timelessness.
The perm was a very 80s look for women and some men. Speak with your barber to see if they feel a perm would suit you, but if you’re unsure, don’t risk it.
The Rat Tail
The clue’s in the title. It’s hard to say if the rat tail was ever fashionable, but we can confidently say that this hairstyle is no longer in vogue.
This hairstyle is reminiscent of Italian or South American footballers in the late 80s or early 90s, and whatever you thought of their appearance back then, it’s not something you should ever try to bring back.
Frosted Tips
If you think of frosted tips, your mind might jump to N-Sync or the Backstreet Boys. However, they were a very 90s/early 00s hairstyle that is no longer sought after.
We understand the appeal it might have had before, but it’s fair to say this hairstyle has run its course and is no longer wanted as much as it once was.
The Faux Hawk
It seems like David Beckham has inspired a couple of these hairstyles, and while he pulled them off all those years ago, they’re not worth bringing back. The Faux Hawk was a huge trend back in the early 00s, and that’s precisely where it should stay.
Punk bands 20 years ago would go for this look, and it would seem appropriate in that kind of music video then, but it’s not a wise choice for everyday life, hence why you rarely see it.
Flock of Seagulls
It’s a bizarre hairstyle, but you must admire the courage it took some men to pull off this audacious look. It takes a good head of hair and plenty of confidence to sport the Flock of Seagulls look. However, this one might make those who wore it grimace if they look back on old photos.
Whatever hairstyle you opt for, using the best hair products to maintain your hair’s vitality and strength goes a long way.
