The desire to look beautiful is inherent in both men and women. Therefore, most modern people try to follow fashion trends and experiment with their appearance. Many people know that even such a trifle as a hairstyle can tell a lot about its owner. A grunge haircut is no exception.

Peculiarities

This style is far from new, because it originated in 1960. At this time, almost all young people living in the West were fond of rock and punk music. The founders of this trend are considered to be such groups as Pearl Jam or Nirvana. In this way, they showed their state of mind and attitude to life. After all, the word "grunge" itself is translated as "dirt", and the founders of this style chose it to show their protest against luxury.

They emphasized their dissimilarity from others by choosing certain clothes and hairstyles. Wanting to be like their idols, young guys also began to do such hairstyles, popularizing this style. Later, they were joined by those who were not familiar with classical rock, but just wanted to emphasize their appearance in a similar way.

Now the men's grunge hairstyle is back in fashion again. It is also popular among creative people. From the side, grunge haircuts for a man seem a little untidy, especially if the picture is complemented by a careless styling. In addition, many young guys are not averse to experimenting with hair coloring. Cold shades are usually used, in some cases the haircut is complemented by shaved temples. It looks pretty stylish too.

But in order to get the desired result, you need to turn to those who know how to do everything at the highest level. Only a professional hairdresser will help to emphasize individuality, and not to make the image untidy. By the way, before deciding on such a haircut, you need to think about whether there will be enough time for styling in the future. After all, you will have to spend time on it every day.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any hairstyle, grunge has both pros and cons. It's worth starting with the first ones:

  • it is suitable for people with any type of face;
  • a haircut immediately makes the image more stylish and modern;
  • no regular brushing required.

The disadvantages include the fact that it is difficult for men with thick or curly hair to maintain such a hairstyle in the desired form. In addition, it is not suitable for those who work in companies with a strict dress code. It is inappropriate to go to a business meeting or negotiations with such a hairstyle.

Haircut options

There are several options for this hairstyle. Each of them is suitable for people with a certain type of appearance.

  • Wet look... You can create this hairstyle using special styling products. The fixation must be strong so that the styling can hold out for the whole day. You can use gel wax.
  • Grunge chic. This is an "elite" variation of the classic grunge hairstyle. It is she who is fully compatible with elegant male looks. To create such a hairstyle, you need to make a high styling, and carefully shave the whiskey. It is usually done for short hair.
  • With fleece... Among those who like to draw attention to themselves, this hairstyle is especially popular. In this case, the fleece is done and the hair is either lifted or laid on one side.

In general, grunge haircuts provide a huge scope for experimentation.

Necessary funds

Guys with grunge hairstyles need to know how to handle styling products. Now there are a lot of them on the market and everyone can choose the most suitable product for themselves.

Styling gel

This is the remedy that men choose most often. It can be used to style both short and medium hair. In addition, the degree of fixation can be completely different: both light and strong. It is not necessary to apply a lot of gel to get the desired effect. Even a small amount of the product will help to cope with such a task in the best possible way.

Wax

Another medium used to create grunge hairstyles is wax. With it, you can create a messy hairstyle with separate strands. It is best to use wax for thick, medium-length hair.

Modeling paste

It is most suitable for fine hair. This tool practically does not harm the strands, on the contrary, it makes them more lively and elastic. Besides the fixation using the paste is quite strong.

Clay

Mainly used for styling oily hair. This product is made on the basis of blue clay. It is enriched with nutrients such as calcium, iron and aluminum. Unlike other styling products, it does not leave shine on your hair. To fix the hair, the clay must be thoroughly rubbed in your hands, and then applied to the strands.

Varnish

Such a tool is used most often at the final stage, that is, when the hairstyle is completely ready. In this case, you only need to select a product with the desired degree of fixation.

On your shelf you can store either one product for all occasions, or several at once, so that you can change the image if necessary.

Styling types

Styling in grunge style can be done on hair of different lengths. To understand how to deal with this, you need to consider all the options in more detail.

For short hair

It is easiest for men with short hair to achieve the desired casualness in their hairstyle. First you need to thoroughly wash your hair, then dry it with a hairdryer, or just let your hair dry naturally.

Then the hair needs to be combed and any styling agent applied to it. Before that, it must be rubbed in the palms to the desired state. The hair should be dried and combed again. After that, you need to give them the desired volume or shape.

With the help of an iron, you can fix the required number of strands, if you want them to stand out against the general background.

On average

The styling technology for medium-length hair is much simpler than the previous one. The head also needs to be washed and dried. When the hair is completely dry, apply a mousse with a strong degree of fixation to each strand. Then the hair must be combed well and given the desired shape.

For long

Particular attention should be paid to long hair, which must be styled daily. You can cope with the task in different ways. But first, you will need, as in previous cases, to wash your hair and dry it. After that, you need to comb your hair. A round comb is best used. Next, you need to make a fleece, and then fix everything with a styling agent.

It is best to use a high-hold varnish or wax.

All styling options are suitable for both straight and curly hair. In any case, do not use too many styling products so that the hairstyle does not look unnatural.

  • With curls... If your hair is straight but you want it to be slightly wavy, use a curler or diffuser. When the strands are ready, they must be laid, creating a slight mess, and then fixed with varnish.
  • Tail. Another styling option is a simple tail. To create the desired hairstyle, the hair must be collected in a bun, and then tousled and sprinkled with strong hold varnish.Very beautifully, such a ponytail complements the hairstyle with shaved temples.
  • One-sided. Laying on one side looks quite original. To do this, on one side, the hair is completely shaved off. On the other, bouffant is done. You can complement the hairstyle with an original pigtail at the bottom.
  • Bright style. If you want to add brightness to your look, you can dye your hair or use a tonic. The most unusual shades, for example, red or yellow, will do. You can dye both individual strands and all hair. It all depends on the desired result.

The grunge hairstyle can be complemented with accessories. For example, a headband or bead woven into a thin braid. But overdoing it with jewelry is clearly not worth it, because the hairstyle should still remain brutal. If we talk about clothes, then fans of the grunge style, as a rule, do not wear business suits, but simple casual outfits. These hairstyles work best with jeans, plaid shirts, printed T-shirts and sneakers.

To summarize, we can say that grunge is great for modern men. Over the entire period of its existence, it has changed slightly, and now representatives of any social class can choose original hairstyles. But what remains unchanged is that grunge is the same protest against pathos, glamor and ostentatious luxury.
