Hair styles for men?

[matt6326]

Are there any 'vintage' styles that anyone could inform me of that would NOT include my hair being longer? It seems the most common style includes slicked back hair, but i like mine high and tight, I find it most comfortable that way

Here is the "short cut" from Practice and Science of Standard Barbering:

It's vintage, but if I saw it on the street it would probably look more like a military cut than a vintage cut.

Yeah, I agree. I'm not going for that look.

Sounds like yours is gonna look pretty militaryish if you want high and tight. You could do a slicked back sorta thing without it being huge and Elvisy though.

Or just keep it long enough for a deep side part.

here's a good collection of men's cuts (they are mostly geared to the rockabilly crowd but you might find something or a variant of one of them you like) for inspiration. What "vintage" era did you mean?

I'd be interested in a 50's era look. I might consider growing my hair a little longer and do something similar to one of those photos.

My husband does his sides and back high and tight and leaves the top a bit longer (not too much, maybe a couple inches max at the front) so he can do a business man's cut (parted and slightly slicked down) or a pomp. it looks great (or at least I love it, lol)

That sounds great, and comfortable. I'll try that.
