Crew cuts work best if you have thick hair. Taper the length of the hair on the side of your head to give your crew cut a more prominent appearance.
Use a blow dryer as you comb your hair if you want to straighten out your waves. If your hair still doesn’t stay in place, apply some hairspray to help it hold.
Fades pair well with other longer styles, such as fringes, quiffs, and pompadours. You can either start from bare skin or with any hair length that’s shorter than what you have on the top of your head.
Fringes work well no matter your hair length, but longer hair might get in your eyes. If you want to accentuate your waves, wrap some strands of hair tightly around your fingers to define the curls. If you want an asymmetrical look, keep your hair pushed to one side of your forehead and leave the rest natural.
Quiffs can also help hide any thinning hair on the crown of your head. If you have a long and thin face, keep the hair on the sides of your head a little longer and avoid adding volume or height to the top of your head.
Use hairspray when you finish styling your hair if you’re worried about it losing its shape throughout the day. If you have thick heavy hair, use thinning scissors to remove some of the weight on top of your head. However, this might make your hair frizzy or more textured if it’s dry or coarse.
Faux hawks look great and more defined when you pair them with a fade or undercut.
If you want a looser style, run your fingers through your hair and let some of your natural waves show through.
Visit a barber every few months to trim the tips of your hair and get rid of split ends. Use a comb instead of your fingers if you want your hair to look more neat and structured.
If you want to show off your natural waves, only put half of your hair in a bun and let the other half hang loose.
