Hollywood Hair

If you like following celebrity trends, you’ll already know that the big hairstyle in Hollywood right now is the close shaven look. Men are opting out of elaborate locks which require stylists, mousse and effort and embracing a low maintenance new trend.

Some of Hollywood’s hottest hunks are now sporting the super shaven look – from David Beckham and Matthew Fox to US President Barack Obama – even Britney joined in when she famously shaved off all her hair in 2007.

You can emulate your idols by investing in a pair of electric hair clippers. These can be bought fairly cheaply from the shops or online retailers to allow you to achieve a shaved look at low cost. Many people use the clippers at home as this is a lot more convenient and cost effective than regular trips to the barbers. Clippers will start to make their money back from each use. Various attachments will allow you to achieve the desired length, for example, a Number 4 trim will keep hair around half an inch long and no clipper attachment can completely remove all hair for a close shaven look.

In the 1960s shaved hair was strongly associated with the working classes. Now, the hairstyle has shed its negative connotations and has been adopted by men from all walks of life, including professionals. This is no doubt due to its celebrity following, as people like Justin Timberlake demonstrate that a “buzzed” hair cut can be considered attractive and even sexy.

The perception of the shaved hair style has irrevocably changed. Men with shaved hair are viewed as attractive and even sexy by many women. For others, the attraction is simply the convenience of a DIY haircut which requires very little maintenance.

Whatever their motivations, more men than ever are adopting the “buzzed” look, and the trend is set to continue well into the future.
