Haircut for men EVERYONE can wear!

Hey guys, welcome back! I cut my hair … AGAIN! This time I did a completely different cut. I shaved off the sides and made the hair on top a bit shorter, but still rather long. That way I can style it in many different ways: to each side, flat or with volume.
Of course I didn’t cut is myself, my friend Chris was helping me out. Excellent barber!

Before we were ready to get going, we had to wash the hair. But I guess you already know that from your own barber 😉.

Step 1 – rough form sides

To get the rough form in, we started with the sides. We shaved them to a particular length, so we could still adjust them later on. Don’t get them too short!

Step 2 – fading up

When we got the right length on each side, we continued by cleaning the outside and started fading up. That’s the reason I told you not to get it too short from the beginning. The way we did it, we could still adjust the fade.
We started with 12 mm and went up to 20, which isn’t that short for sides, but in comparison to my longer hair on top looks really cool. Find out, what length fits you!

Step 3 – top

Cut the top. The top hair, of course! 😉 We really cut a chunk, because my hair was already so long, it had to be done. But you can play with the length. Again, find out what works for you.

Step 4 – thin out

Because I have very thick hair, we thinned out the top. Doing that allows me to actually style my hair in any direktion I want to. And it will grow back anyway. 😀

Step 5 – clean the back

To finish up, we cleaned out the back, so that it doesn’t look as „round“ anymore.

Step 6 – Styling

Styling: Here is where the fun begins! We started by using sea salt spray, because my hair still was very thick and heavy and falling in any direction. With blow drying that spray in, we gave it more texture, so it was much easier to style afterwards.
Then we continued with dry shampoo, which gave my hair even more texture, more grip and more volume.
Now it gets interesting. After we applied the hairwax, we used hairspray to make it hold. But we didn’t do it the ordinary way: Chris sprayed it on his fingers, going through my hair afterwards.

And thats it! A look that everyone can wear and that’s very versatile. I hope you enjoyed this post and I could give you some useful advice.

Take care and see you soon, peace!

How to trim a beard?! – Tutorial 3 Day Beard MEN

Hey guys, welcome back! Today I want to talk about a very important asset to a man’s face: the beard.

When I was younger, I dreamed of having a real „man-beard“. Well, I am slowly getting there. Now I want to show you how I shave it, so it looks like a proper beard.

Before shaving

It is very important to let your facial hair grow for some time, even i fit looks horrible. To get the best out of it, you have to have something to work with. I try to work with one centimeter, that takes me about two weeks to grow.

Rough shave

I use a beard trimmer with millimeter adjustments, so I can be very precise. I always start with 5 millimeters and do a rough shave against the beard line. I start at the middle and do the sides after that (I go up until the middle of my ear, but you can change that up). Try to stretch your face a little bitt o reach every part of your face, otherwise some tiny hairs may be overlooked.
The moustache comes last. Here I adjust the trimmer to 4 or 3,5 millimeters.

If you have parts of your beard that are darker than the others, trim it a bit shorter, so it looks like it is the same length.

Details

After doing a rough shave, you have two options for the details:
1. Use a dry, electrical one blade
2. Use a wet shaver
I normally start with the dry blade and do the lines of my beard, later I clean everything up with the wet shaver.

To do the bottom lines on your throat properly, put one finger right where the chin ends and the throat begins. This is where you want to have your line. From there you go tot he sides and up to get a clean cut just along the transition of your chin to throat.

Some people (like me) don’t have that much facial hair on the sides. So I try to shave everything above the visible hair and create an intentional line that way. I basically draw a beard into my face. 😀

After that clean everything out with shaving cream and the wet shaver. Remember: Always cut up to down, otherwise you might destry your skin.

Aftercare

When you are done, wash the remaining cream off with water and dry your face with a towel. Don’t rub it in, but rather dab and press it against your skin. That way it is much more skin friendly.

Having done that, it is time to use after shave cream. I don’t really use proper after shave with alcohol in it, but natural products with aloe vera inside. Again, don’t rub it in, but rather to little dabs.

And after that, you are done! I hope I could help you with your beard routine and some of you will walk around with a massive beard shortly. 😀

I am looking forward to see you! Take care!

Hairstyle Tutorial: Leonardo DiCaprio

Hey guys, I hope you are all doing great!

I cut my hair. Yes, I did it. For 12 months I grew it and I wanted to cut it for so long – and I finally did (well, not me personally, but you get it :D).
New hair, new style! There are many different ways I can style my hair now. This time I want to show you a style that I think is very cool. I call it „The DiCaprio“. As you can tell by the name already, the look will be quite similar to Leonardo DiCaprio’s hairstyle – but in the 90’s. At that time he wasn’t the absolute megastar he is today, but rather a very talented up and comer, who started to land his first major roles. Oh, and a ladiesman as well.

 

Step 1: Wet your hair

You don’t need any products in your hair to begin with. You don’t even have to wash them beforehand. Just make sure, it is evenly wet and not dripping.

 

Step 2: Put volume in it

It doesn’t matter which product of volume mousse you use, it is just important that your hair has a little bit more strength in it and it doesn’t fall down so easily. Make sure that you don’t overdo it on the back and the sides though, because we don’t want to have too much volume on those parts, only at the top.

 

Step 3: Dry and form

Use a hair dryer and a brush. The main goal here is that your hair doesn’t fall down in your face anymore. You should also start on your middle parting by brushing your hair to either sides. After that you already should have a nice Leo-effect.

 

Step 4: Lean over and mess it up

Now your hair should be almost dry. In the final steps I like to bend over, so the hair falls straight down, and mess up the front strands to give them even more volume.
Now when you go through it with your hands (front to back), the Leo-effect is even more obvious.

 

Step 5: Matt paste

It is important that you use dry matt paste, not wet one! Even if you want to have a wet look, there are other ways to do it, just wait and see. 😉
With the same movement as before (front to back) you can give your hair now a nice form. To get the right texture, be sure to really mess it up at the end and brush it in. Now you can form it into place.

 

Step 6: Beard oil

To give your hair a more oily and healthy look, brush in some beard oil. You can even give yourself a little massage. Don’t use too much, otherwise it will look cheap. That is the advantage beard oil has to wet gel. It is much easier to get a cool look with beard oil, and in addition to that you can make fine adjustments without having to worry about soaking your hair.
After that the Leo-effect should be in full display. Damn, what a hairstyle!

 

Step 7: Hairspray

If you want it to hold, use some hairspray. Again: less is more. Make sure it holds, but don’t empty the bottle. 😀

 

That’s it for this awesome hairstyle! Tell me which styles you want to see next and I will try and make them happen. In the meantime, check out my Youtube Channel @fabianxarnold for more content! I recently uploaded a video, in which I tell you the story of how I became a model – of course you will find that on my website, as well.

So long, you guys, enjoy your day! Until next time. 😊
