Men’s hairstyles in 2010 focused on appearing as polished as possible, where nary a strand was out of place (remember the side part?). You’ll be happy to know that men’s hairstyles in 2011 are about chilling out and keeping it easy. That means you can look forward to working with any natural waves in your hair and making fewer visits to your barber. Here we detail classic, office-appropriate versions of the styles that will rock 2011 and then, for guys who lead a more trend-driven lifestyle, we fill you in on how you can take each style in an edgier direction.
Square/Classic:
One of the biggest trends for black men in 2011 is short hair with a very square shape. This hairstyle is a throwback to the looks that dominated the 1950s, but supersharp lines and minimal volume keep everything modern. Check out Jon Jones’ cut for an example of how to do this style right, then head to your barber and request a cut of a uniform length that’s cropped quite close to your scalp, explaining that you want your hair to form a straight line across your forehead and also down the sides. An additional benefit of this cut is that it will make your face appear more masculine.
