Hairstyle has always played an important role not only in making the first impression but also in how we feel from the inside. Agree that when you look your best, then success immediately appears in business.
The styles of men's and women's haircuts have changed over time, but it seems that fashion is always returning to the classics: natural long hair for women and functional styles for men.
Hairstyles vary based on career, age, ethnicity, racial origin, genetics, and other factors. Hollywood celebrities, influencers, and politicians play an important role in haircuts’ history.
The ancient Egyptians, known for their attention to beauty and cleanliness, used combs and hairpins since the 4th century BC. The wealthy Egyptians were visited by hairdressers and barbers. In ancient Egypt, men often shaved off their hair due to the hot climate.
In ancient Greece, men's hair was short and sometimes even shaved off. Later, hairstyles became more decorative. Hairdressing became popular and the upper classes were served by slaves or attended barbershops.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, European men grew or cut their hair to shoulders, while very fashionable men wore fringes or sideburns. In Italy, men used to dye their hair. At the beginning of the 17th century, men's hairstyles became longer, wavy or curly hair was considered fashionable.
The men's wig became popular during the reign of King Louis XIII (1601–1643) of France in 1624 when he began to go bald prematurely. The wig also began to be worn by his son and successor Louis XIV of France (1638-1715), which contributed to the spread of this fashion in Europe and countries under European influence. Wigs for men were also introduced to the English-speaking world, where they became especially popular among judges in England.
Men's short hairstyles are a product of the neoclassical movement. The classic men's haircut that became popular at the time was the “Bedford Crop” haircut, which is possibly the forerunner of the men's “Crop” haircut in modern times.
In the early 19th century, the beard, as well as the mustache and sideburns, became popular. It was associated with the romantic movement. This style remained very common until the 1890s, after which young men stopped wearing them when the First World War began.
By the late 1880s, men were wearing Pompadours, combing their hair high up from their foreheads. Artificial hair strands were often used to add height and depth to the hairstyle.
From the 1920s to the 90s, the haircuts’ fashion was changing almost every 10 years. In the 1930s, Western men began wearing hairstyles that were popularized by movie stars such as Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Rudolph Valentino. Men wore short haircuts, with a side parting or in the middle, the hair was combed back using hair pomade, cream, or tonic for long-lasting hairstyling. At the start of World War II and for some time afterward, men's haircuts became shorter - the military haircut “Buss”.
In the early 50s, “Pompadour” was worn by almost all-male fans of Elvis Presley. In the 70s, men's “Beatles” haircuts were popular, and a little later, due to the Hippie movement, men began to grow long hair that did not require special styling. In the 1990s, this fashion changed a lot and men became more minimalist in their approach to men's haircuts. Shaved heads were at their peak of popularity.
Modern men's haircuts have come a long way since ancient times. Now every man can come to the barbershop Mr.Colt, where professional barbers will select an individual haircut for everyone. The combination of different hairstyles will help you look fashionable, well-groomed, and different from others, which is one of the trends of 2021.
