At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we believe that a great haircut isn’t just about the trend it’s about what works best for you. And the foundation of a great style starts with understanding your hair type. Whether your hair is straight, wavy, curly, or coily, knowing your texture helps you pick a style that enhances your look, suits your routine, and keeps your hair healthy.
1. Straight Hair: Sleek and Easy to Manage
Straight hair lies flat and naturally reflects light, giving it a shiny appearance. It's easy to manage but can sometimes lack volume.
Recommended styles:
-
Classic Taper: Adds clean structure
-
Textured Crop: Brings in movement
-
Pompadour: Elevates volume for a stylish lift
Styling tip: Use light pomades or volume-boosting products to prevent a flat look.
2. Wavy Hair: Natural Texture and Flow
Wavy hair has gentle bends and natural texture, offering a great balance between straight and curly. It gives hair character and volume effortlessly.
Recommended styles:
-
Messy Quiff: Highlights natural wave
-
Side Part with Fade: Keeps it structured while showing off texture
-
Loose Fringe: Perfect for laid-back, casual styles
Styling tip from Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing: Use sea salt spray or curl-enhancing mousse to define waves and fight frizz.
3. Curly Hair: Bold, Unique, and Full of Personality
Curly hair adds volume and personality but can be prone to dryness and frizz. The key is choosing styles that work with the curl, not against it.
Recommended styles:
-
Short Curly Crop: Easy to manage and stylish
-
Undercut with Curls on Top: Focuses attention on texture
-
Taper Fade with Natural Curls: A clean and modern option
Styling tip: Keep curls hydrated with leave-in conditioners and curl creams. Avoid sulfates in shampoos.
4. Coily/Kinky Hair: Textured, Dense, and Versatile
Coily hair is tightly curled and dense, offering a rich texture that supports many structured and protective styles.
Recommended styles:
-
High Top Fade: Bold and iconic
-
Short Buzz or Line-Up Cut: Minimalist and sharp
-
Twists or Defined Coils: Add style without over-manipulation
Styling tip from Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing: Deep condition regularly and use natural oils to maintain softness and prevent breakage.
