Beauty: Slick & Stylin'



Men’s hair trends for 2010 are numerous and diverse, with something to satisfy all male hair types, face shapes, personalities. We are seeing a return to classic philosophy in all ventures, creating an ‘out-with-the new’ and ‘in-with-the-old’ mind frame. In the hair department, the resurrection of the slick back (that sexy and stylish hair style sported by the suave and handsome Cary Grant) is a prominent example of this philosophy.

Since appearing in 2008/09 designer fashion collections, the look has been gaining much momentum and has since been flaunted on the red carpet by fashion icons like George Clooney; helping to popularize the slick back look amongst the masses.

The slick back is a classic yet modern hair trend not to be confused with the "comb over." If unsure how to create this look, take direction from the pictures shown or check out Ralph Lauren’s male catalogue models at: www.ralphlauren.com

With the real decision being to part or not to part the hair; keep in mind both looks are on trend, so it basically depends on which one better flatters the facial structure.

Tamper around with different variations and side parts to see what works best for you. As for hair product, there is no need to break the bank - keep strands in place while achieving the classic, wet, slick look with some good, old fashioned Brylcreem.
