Acknowledging this will not only give you the tools to know what hairstyle exactly is the one for your hair but also will make you smart at the moment of buying hair products.
Here we present you this list to identify your hair’s texture:
Kinky Hairstyles
Kinky hair is probably the textured hair that requires most of care and grooming. This precise type of hair is more commonly seen in men with African heritage that’s why we could also find this kind of hair with the name of “afro-textured” though men with different heritage can also be portrayers of this hair.
You must be aware that kinky hairstyles in men are sometimes harder to perform due to its curls delicacy; the reason why it needs so much care and dedication is because the hair strands grow with a very irregular surface which means that a kinky-haired strand will have the least tensile strength and will be prone to damage or breakage.
Hence, if you are a man enjoying from this texture of hair you must be smart to show off your mane with astonishing hairstyles.
Before suggesting you some superb hairstyles for your afro hair, let’s check out this advice for the right care and groom of your kinky hair.
- Use a Rinse-Out Hair Conditioner
One of the major problems with kinky hair is that runs the risk to become dryer quickly if it is not well handled. Hence, you should start considering condition on your hair every time you wet it, which basically means every day; normal conditioners are products you can use to apply on your hair for about two minutes and then removed with water.
Also you must remember that the use of conditioner must be in tune with your shampoo use as well, this will prevent your hair from having an unwanted reaction and keep in mind that they will help you to have more control over your hair at the moment of performing any hairstyle.
- Use Oils to Detangle Hair Tangles or Knots
Tangles are just another rock on the path of having kinky hair, as we explained before, its natural texture and structure makes it susceptible to get lost in millions of tangles and knots.
However, to fight back these issues are not as simple as it sounds; takes a bit of time to really master the art of detangling without provoking the strands of your hair to get split and nonsense.
Natural oils or butters are a clever option when it comes the time of detangles; recent researches have proved that the best oil option for men hair is olive oil; it works brilliantly as a detangler, just as coconut and Shea butter.
The best way to use them on your hair is to coat the whole length of the tangled or knotted lock as well as the matted/knotted area.
There might will be several strands or locks of hair left out, so you should also coat them.
Once done, start with tight pitches on these areas with one hand and pull the preceding length with the other in order to achieve the styling and detangling.
- Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers for styling
Having now clear tips to know how to properly take care of your hair, it is time to style it. Most of men mistaken this kind of hair for something easy to style up as its own natural grace will do the entire job.
However, you must know that for kinky hair, you have to avoid the use of any other comb than wide-tooth or your fingers to style your hair.
Another thing to keep it mind is that the right moment to do so is when your hair is damp, never when is fully dried.
Apply your stylizing product and do not touch your hair any further as kinky hair’s locks may easily fall apart; style up with your wide-tooth comb and never pull hard in order to avoid this.
Now that we know how to take care and style up our kinky hair, is time to finally move on to the hairstyles for men.
As kinky hair has powerfully come though years as a trending and renewed type of haircut, hairstyles did not wait to make their presence.
From kinky spikes to sponge twists high fade, here we leave you some men’s hairstyles to style up your kinky hair:
Hairstyle #1 Kinky Spikes
Spiky hair is a fashionable and trending style seen a lot among black men.
This hairstyle has the perk of giving an eye-effect to the rest of people; if you look from distance you will think that the hairstyle has regular and thick curls on top, but if you look closer you will notice that the curls actually look like some fun kinky spikes.
Absolutely this is one of the black men hairstyles
If you already have the kinky hair, let’s focus on doing the spikes:
- The most important thing when doing this hairstyle is that your hair must be wet all the time during the whole process, so let’s start by shampooing your hair. Once you have finished, dry it off with a soft material (do not use a towel as it will completely dry your hair and as we said, must be damp) like a bed sheet
- Now we are onto products, so using an olive oil gel rub it on your hands and spread it all over and through your hair, use as much as you need to but make sure it is all covered
- This is probably the most important step, the brush. For this hairstyle to get successfully done you will need the proper brush, which for us, is the medium textured brush; so you’ll grab it and you are going to put it on your head and start spinning it around as you would do a sponge.
- Continue spinning around the brush in a circular way for five minutes top but make sure to wet it up once in a while so the brush will not the moisture fade away
- When you are done with the first brushing round, try to use a shea butter for hair in order to provide the hairstyle a more shiny and curly consistence. Basically you will repeat the same process as the gel’s and once you have applied the product start twisting circularly with the brush again on your head
- To prevent your hair from locking and to keep it moisturized, use conditioner, oil or some product that will help the hairstyle to remain moisturized the rest of the day, this will also make it easier when trying to get all of this stuff out
And there you go! As you could appreciate doing kinky spikes is not complicated at all and it could work with almost any kind of length so do not hold yourself back from trying this hairstyle for curly hair because it will definitely make your hair look pretty cool.

Meanwhile, the simplicity of the natural hair on top of the head creates a particular balance that will provide the hairstyle with the most flawless appearance.
To make it work along with the beard line is a really good way to help styling up the hairstyle but it will depend upon your barber (or if you know how to fade, upon yourself) to know how dense the fade must be done.

- Using your fingers, choose a piece of hair and section it off, how wide and how thick will it be depending on the size of the twist you desire. For example, slender twists might need less hair, but thicker twists will have to count on more hair
- If you already decided which sections are using, take two equally sized strands of hair and starting from the scalp, twist them around each other in a clockwise manner, left strand over right

More mature men usually tend to believe their age is reaching them, so they feel like not being in the mood for taking care of their appearance, (which of course includes hairstyles) or at least giving it the importance they maybe did before.
Grey hair? Thinning hair? Receding hairlines?
Do not make your world fall apart because of them anymore. Instead, use them in your favor! We encourage you to cheer yourself up again; when it comes to hairstyles for more mature men the options are as wide as the ones we have already shown.
Here are some hairstyles for men so you might get some inspiration and find the one is right for you:
Hairstyle #1 Two- toned
It is hard to deny that something provoked by ages is grey and white hair, this is mainly caused due to the aging of hair texture and lack of pigment.
Nevertheless, do not let this change of color dictates the path on your hairstyles or try to hide them, use it on your side!
With men who have the privilege of growing white hair only on the sideways of the hair, a very good way to style up their hair is by the two-toned hairstyle.
It is done by a short amount of grey or clearer hair on top of your head but leaving the whiter sections frame the features of your face.
If you also add to the look the salt-and-pepper scruff in the face, no matter how rushed your golden years are this hairstyle will not let them see.
Hairstyle #2 Wavy middle-length hair
For gentlemen who are patient enough to wait for their hair to grow a little more in order to gain more volume and texture, this hairstyle is one of the best options.
Thanks to the business friendly and natural kind look you will achieve a hairstyle that is pretty easy to maintain along with an air of wisdom and sophistication.
Another perk of having this hairstyle is the fact that it highlights your natural curls with layers done thanks to the length of your hair.
Make sure the hairstyle remains out of your face in order to show a neater look.
Hairstyle #3 Neat comb over
Generally, when we talk about hairstyles for older gentlemen we discover that they have a certain appeal.
Comb hairstyles have gained a considerable popularity over the years, they are classic and look great with any texture or length of hair.
If we mix all of the great features that this particular hairstyle carries, with the philosophic air that surrounds older gentlemen, we will get the air of a retro old styled man.
Neat combs have millions of variations and ways to be performed like: the side part, comb over undercut and comb over fade; so, do not lose the chance of trying on this hairstyle that could provide you the confidence you thought lost due to your golden ages.
As it has been appreciated, modern hairstyles have no age, length or texture.
Though choosing the right one might be difficult sometimes that does not change the fact that there is infinity of possibilities to experiment with, our golden ages must not be an impediment to hold ourselves back, remember that your body doesn’t reflect your inner spirit, and so do your hairstyles.
Moving forward, what if we go further and try to discover hairstyles that might be out of ordinary in this side of the continent?

Hairstyle #2 Throwback asian hair
Paying homage to the age of 90’s, this hairstyle has reborned to bring up the old fashion Asian days. Being conformed for a stylish undercut, paired with a long-brushed back top hair with the hairline gently placed half-middle, makes the hairstyle look more retro than before.
It also helps the application of gel or moisturizing to change the first look of the already good cared Asian hair.
Though the hairstyle is considered old fashion, Asian gentlemen have opted for it mainly because of the fact that looks formal and completely accurate along a suit or a pair of boots.
If you have decided yourself for this particular hairstyle, keep in mind that the fade technique should be also done correctly so it will give the wished effect.
Hairstyle #3 Dyed hairs
Back in the days, Asian men used to be really conserved with their hairstyles.
However, as times have changed so have they; every day more and more Asian men opt for modern, anime-inspired and new hairstyles.
This, of course, includes dyed hairstyles.
Old jet-black hair-colored are becoming in a thing of the past for several Asian gentlemen nowadays.
The use of dyed hair is giving Asian men a lot of possibilities when speaking of new hairstyles, no matter if you go for a spiked up or smoothed down hairstyle, there is a color for everything.
Is it that much that even has become a trend the combination of these cakes-colored hairstyles along with completely back attires.
How should I dye my hair?
As fabulous as this technique sounds, there are several things to consider in if you are thinking about making the jump to dye your hair.
First of all, you must know that your black hair needs to be bleached before it’s prepared to take in another color, otherwise your color will not only disappear in a short time but also, you’ll be just left with a faint sheen.
In this picture we have an example of one of the asian hairstyles men, super cool!
You can always go to a hair professional to give you a hand with bleaching, but there is always the chance to do it yourself.
Another thing you should consider for choosing the right hair color is the tone of your skin.
In order for you to look as cool as you possible want, try to pay attention to the warmth or coolness regarding to your unique skin tone so it can make the perfect contrast.
Finally, focus on the parts of your hair that you’d like to highlight, maybe the specific hairstyle does not require your hair to be all dyed but some parts of it only, so keep that in mind.
We hope we have helped some gentleman to find the hairstyle that will define him or that suits him best. Our final advice is not to hold yourself back from trying something fresh and new, after all hairstyles should depict our personality and spirit.
