Men with straight hair can be quite lucky chaps. There are a variety of hairstyles available now that pair well with hyper straight locks. Plus, this hair type requires less styling and upkeep than others as you will unlikely suffer from frizzy or unruly curls or waves.

How to Take Care of Your Straight Hair

Most hair care rules are the same irrespective of the type of your tresses if you want healthy hair. However straight locks can be quite unforgiving as they will show damage and poor cutting more easily.

Here are top tips for keeping your hair in tip-top condition:

• Use a mild shampoo and wash a maximum of 3 times a week or you will run the risk of stripping the natural oils from the hair.
• Condition and rinse the hair with cool water to enhance shine.
• Be gentle when brushing and drying hair to avoid breaking strands and causing weakness.
• If using a hairdryer then gently dry the hair around 6 or more inches away from the scalp and use a heat protection spray.
• The cut is critical as straight hair will show off any unkempt edges or poor styling. Make sure you trust your hairdresser and that they fully understand your needs.
• Get your hair trimmed every 6 weeks to keep hair in top condition.
• Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet and this will be reflected in your hair health

Hairstyles for Men With Straight Hair

To get the best from your hair type, aside from caring for your tresses, you will need to opt for a great style cut. Here are some great inspirational haircuts for men with straight hair.

1. Undercut

The undercut is an unfaltering and resolute staple within men’s hair fashion and is a great way to add volume to men’s straight hairstyles.

Ideal for: Oblong, oval and rounded face shapes.

How to Style: If you have an oval or round face then make sure you leave more length on the top of the head. To add drama, go for a sleek and short haircut at the sides and blow dry around the crown to add volume at the roots.
