Men’s Haircuts and Styling Wake up and sniff the hair gel, folks! We’re about to embark on a follicular voyage back in time—men’s haircuts and styling.  At first glance, you might think hair is just the stuff that keeps your head warm or why you keep a comb handy. But hair, precisely men’s hair, has always done much more than that. It has rocked out to the 50’s rebellious vibe, kept it calm with the 60’s counterculture, donned the groovy shag in the 70s, and shown some severe attitude with 80’s spiked punk. It’s plunged into the textured crop in the 2020s, and lord knows what’s next! Fashion? Culture? You bet your last hairpin is deeply intertwined. Elvis didn’t just happen to have slick hair. It was the era that styled him, and he, in turn, defined it. But remember, folks, style is a personal statement. It’s as unique as your thumbprint or how you secretly dance when no one’s watching. So, whether you’re a pompadour devotee or a buzz-cut enthusiast, let’s celebrate the glorious history of men’s hair. Hang on to your hats (or hairnets?); things are about to get hairy! The 1950s: Greaser Glory Alright, folks, set your time machines to the 1950s, an era where the music was jazzy, the cars were flashy, and men’s hairstyles were delightfully rebellious. Picture this: Elvis has just made his grand appearance on the stage. His hips are moving, the crowd is swooning, and what’s that atop his head? It’s the pomp and splendor of the iconic greaser look. Yup, the pompadour and quiff were the stuff of legend. Men would slick back their locks into these high-volume hairstyles as effortlessly as they would slip on leather jackets. Oh, and tuck a comb in your back pocket. You know, for a quick hair fix during a dance-off. And when you thought hairstyles couldn’t get any cooler, enter the ducktail. Those guys used to style the back of their heads to resemble a duck’s rear end. Sounds quackers. Ducks were the unexpected hair influencers of that time. It’s probably where the term “duck face” originated. (Okay, maybe not.) But seriously, I cannot wait to leap into the next era of hair history. Brace yourselves for the hippie vibes of the ‘60s! The 1960s: Hippie Vibes & Mod Style After slicking and ducktailing our way through the ’50s, we moseyed right into the 1960s, where the shears of convention got snipped and buzzed into oblivion. Peace signs were high, pants were low, and hair? Well, hair went wherever it darn well pleased. The revolution of this decade oozed into every follicle, with long, unkempt hair and beards becoming the main event. It screamed nonconformity louder than a hippie at a silent meditation retreat. But let’s not brush over the mod squad. Just when you thought every guy was out to prove their scalp‘s worth in hair farming, the mod look swooped in with its sleek geometry, proving that some chaps still fancied a comb through their locks. This yin and yang of the ’60s ‘do-scape was less about following the herd and more about expressing your inner flower child or dapper gent. The trends shifted as the sands in an hourglass held by a particularly indecisive beachgoer. So, whether you were letting your freak flag fly with a beard that could double as a wildlife sanctuary or slicing through the air with that razor-sharp side-part, the ’60s had you covered. And if you weren’t too busy avoiding haircuts, you might notice those mod influences subtly trimming the edges of the next shagadelic decade. The 1970s: Shaggy Disco Fever Hold onto your bell bottoms because the 1970s were a wild ride for men’s hairstyles. It was a decade of disco, questionable fashion choices, and an overdose of – you guessed it – hair… lots and lots of hair! Enter the shag – the hairy hero we didn’t know we needed. Picture this: long, layered locks with an optional center part cascading down like a hairy waterfall (mesmerizing, isn’t it?). The shag looked as if it had risen from the ashes of a thousand poorly-crafted wigs, and for reasons that remain a mystery, people LOVED it. Stars like David Bowie and Rod Stewart somehow rocked this style, and we can’t help but – regrettably – admit that the shag made these dudes look cool. Now, for the pièce de résistance of this decade… the undeniable Mulletravaganza. Embodying the “business in the front, party in the back” vibe, the mullet had its roots in the shag but took it to a new level of questionable taste. Picture this haircut as a rebellious teenage sibling who couldn’t quite figure out what it wanted to be. Short at the front and sides, with long hair gracefully swinging at the back like a hairy pendulum. Deliciously tacky and oh-so-memorable, the mullet gave rise to a feverish craze that would take the world by storm (and then haunt us in awkward family photos). The 70s was a decade of experimentation, and our beloved hairy comrades did not stand alone. Big hair infiltrated every corner of pop culture, with everyone sprouting afros, perms, and rebelliously long locks in a hairy uprising against the neat cuts of yesteryear. We want to take a moment of silence for all the combs and brushes lost in this tangled mess. So there you have it: a decade defined by more hair than common sense (kidding, mostly) and spectacularly peculiar styles that wrote themselves into the history books as the epitome of shaggy excess. Coming up next: hold on tight because the 80s and 90s are about to fade into a spiky whirlwind of eccentricity! The 1980s & 1990s: Fade into Spiky Eccentricity Enter the ’80s, and it was time to, quite literally, “cut” to the chase. The rise and influence of the fade became the talk of the town, and rightfully so. After all, who wouldn’t want to achieve the ultimate gradient transition from...
