How do you style your Lettuce?

Slicked back undercut
The popularity of shows such as Boardwalk Empire mixed with just how sharp this hair cut looks sees the revival of the slicked back undercut influenced by the styles of the early 20th Century. Follow the link to find out the options for the men’s hair cut, how to have it, cut and how to style it.

Good for: straight hair & hair that can be straightened


Brit-rock indie hairstyle
Inspired by many a British indie band (and a hell of a lot of Burberry catwalks in between), 2012′s Brit-rock indie hairstyle oozes kicked back and relaxed. It has nearly only one rule: sweep the hair forwards. The rest of the details, from the cut of the top to the length of the sides, allows you to work with whatever haircut styles suit you best. Read our guide to the indie hairstyle for a complete guide to all the different indie hairstyles for men in 2012, including ways to have it cut and products to use to style it.

Good for: straight hair, wavy hair, curly hair that can be relaxed


Rockabilly hairstyle
It might have been on trend for 2 years already, but that hasn’t stopped this mid-20th Century rock hairstyle from featuring amongst 2012′s men’s haircut trends. More attitude infused than the quiff hairstyle it gave rise to, the rockabilly hairstyle might be one of 2012′s more extreme men’s hairstyles, but it’s also one of the few that’s suited to most hair types. Follow the link to find out more.

Good for: straight hair, wavy hair, curly hair


Men’s quiff
The last time we saw the quiff popular as a men’s hairstyle trend it as infused with rock overtones. With the indie haircut dominating the music-orientated hairstyles, the quiff becomes something altogether more refined in 2012. It’s still infused with attitude, but, as far as men’s haircut trends this year, it’s a very different attitude. Read our guide to the new quiff for a run down for all the different quiff cuts, vintage inspiration, and styling and product recommendations.

Good for: straight hair, wavy hair, curly hair that can be relaxed


Short waves / short curls
2011 may have given us a completely fresh decade, but it’s in 2012 that we truly get to explore it. If the last decade was all about buzz terms prefixed by man and metro (think manscaping and metrosexual), then 2012 is all about exploring a masculine edge. Sure it’s refined, but there have been only a few periods in recent history where true masculinity didn’t come with a polished edge. Thus we leave behind a period where men and boy bands alike head to a hairstylist for the latest fandangled chemical straightening technique and instead, for those of them with curly hair, can opt for something au naturel. Natural, but no less stylish.

Who it is for

•A natural hairstyle for those naturally curly, or at least those with a head of seriously wavy hair. Don’t try and fake curls – this is a hairstyle that will work with natural, curly hair only.



Slicked hair with a side part
The slicked back undercut isn’t the only 2012 men’s hairstyle that is something of a classic haircut revived. Nor is it the only hairstyle that requires a sumptuous amount of product to achieve its slick look

Who it is for

•This is a hairstyle ideal for men with relatively straight hair as the hair is more likely to sit flat on the head complimenting the hairstyle’s ‘slick’ shape.
•Those with curly hair can straighten or give it a straight blow-dry before commencing styling.
•If you have a receding hairline or fine hair and are self conscious of either, then discuss this with your hairdresser before getting your hair cut. This is a hairstyle that can highlight areas where men recede – though that’s not a problem for everyone.



Curly mop top
Not tight enough to be an afro and with the mop top a hairstyle more akin to the Brit-rock than anything else, it’s hard to give this hairstyle a name that connotes exactly what it is. So, despite the naff sound to it, please forgive us: we’re labelling this evolution of one of last year’s men’s hair trends the curly mop top.

Who is it for

•This curly men’s hairstyle works best for those with natural curls and plenty of length. As with all curly hair in 2012, we don’t recommend that anyone endures a treatment to make their hair curly.




The undercut
If you’ve already read the in depth list of men’s hair trends above, the fact that the undercut is a key haircut for 2012 will come as no surprise. That look in particular though is a slicked back undercut that relies just as much on its styling as it does on its cut. But because the styling is so particular, 2012 is a year in which other interpretations of the undercut abound.

In fact, as a men’s haircut the undercut sits as one of the most fashionable and versatile options in 2012, one capable of working with most of the hairstyles we’ve noted above. Take the Brit-rock indie hairstyle as an example – given that’s its swept from the side it’s easy to work the hairstyle in with an undercut, keeping the sides short and the long hair on top swept over and forwards

Who it is for

•Any man with straight or wavy hair capable of growing the top long.
•It’s also a great hairstyle to conceal a receding hairline, but make sure there’s enough thickness to support the quiff.
•This style is not for those who hate hair falling on their forehead or moving at all.




Shoulder length haircut
Grecian God or not, shoulder length hair is never truly out, but it’s not always in either. The question for when it is in is always what style of man it’s being worn by. Is it popular the kick-back Indie kid, the guy whose life revolves around catching the next wave or an altogether different kind of man? In 2012, long, shoulder length men’s hair sits as a haircut with both a smart and sleek finish.

Who is it for

•Any man with long straight hair or managable waves not opposed to turning the heads of the sex they’re hoping to attract.

I definitely do....I have very versatile hair so I can switch it up quite often. I regularly do the "slicked hair with side part". I tried the "undercut" a couple months back, but its a one and done type of hair style.

Currently, I'm rocking the faux-hawk because I can slick it to the side, spike it up, or slick it back.

If it wasn't for the fact that I find long hair annoying when I play hockey, I'd grow mine out again.

Is long hair trendy? I don't keep up with trends.

Shoulder length haircut
Grecian God or not, shoulder length hair is never truly out, but it’s not always in either. The question for when it is in is always what style of man it’s being worn by. Is it popular the kick-back Indie kid, the guy whose life revolves around catching the next wave or an altogether different kind of man? In 2012, long, shoulder length men’s hair sits as a haircut with both a smart and sleek finish.

Who is it for

•Any man with long straight hair or managable waves not opposed to turning the heads of the sex they’re hoping to attract.
