Brushed Up A laid back style great for gents with thick hair and a fairly low-maintenance hairstyle as it doesn't matter if it gets a little messy. Ask your barber: This is a low clipper cut on the back and sides then blended up with scissors. Keep the top all one length (medium) and no thinning out! However, we would recommend going shorter on the sides and longer on top (Number one on the sides and Number three on top) to add a bit of interest and style to your cut. You can blend up from a 0 to a 3, which then becomes a skin fade. How to style: Start by applying a 5p piece of Ultramatte by American Crew on towel-dried hair and work it into the hair from the roots up. Using a vented brush and a hairdryer, lift the hair up applying the heat from the roots to tip. Once your hair is dry, apply a little Featherweight by Uppercut Deluxe as a finishing product. Featherweight is a soft wax that doesn't set too hard, so you will still have movement in the hair, as well as giving it a natural sheen. -Porters Barbers Photo Credit: Pinterest 5
