If you’re the kind of guy who doesn’t like to wear his hair perfectly coiffed all the time, beachy summer styles are probably right up your street. Whatever your hair length, there are plenty of disheveled, tousled hairstyles to try from long waves to short, messy ‘dos.
Below, we’ve handpicked five of our favourite beachy looks for men. Which one will you try first?
1. Tousled side sweep
This simple yet completely pulled together hairstyle is “done” enough for work without being perfectly polished. The texture has a really laid back, summery feel to it, and if you style this look with a flexible hold product like Advanced Hairstyle TXT IT Hyper Fix Putty, you can wear it smooth for the office, then ruffle it on your way to happy hour.
2. Long sideswept surfer hair
For anyone wishing to channel their inner surfer, even if the nearest large body of water is the local swimming pool, a long sideswept hairstyle is definitely worth considering. It’s the quintessential beachy look, and it works with straight, wavy or curly hair. All you need is a small amount of product like Advanced Hairstyle TXT IT Deconstructing Gum to add texture and keep it there throughout the day.
3. Brushed forward waves
If you have naturally curly hair, showcase the natural texture with a brushed forward hairstyle. Use some gel to define the curls then rake them into place with your fingers before it sets to complete the look.
4. Long shoulder-grazing waves
Long hairstyles for men are a huge grooming trend this summer, and if you really want to go for it, a shoulder-length wavy style is a great way to do so. This hairstyle is long enough to pull back into a knot, but it also looks great au naturel, especially with a few messy waves thrown in for good measure.
5. Messy voluminous waves
While rockabilly hairstyles are traditionally quite polished, this more modern take on the look has a really laid back vibe thanks to the tousled texture. With plenty of height on top, this style definitely isn’t uptight, but it isn’t too messy either.
