Hair Styles

I used to use gel, and halfway through high school I started using some American Crew Fiber Creme, and its pretty great. Produce a similar effect to gel without the hard look. If you can, convince him that gel should be used sparingly, if at all, and that its much better to have a slightly natural look ... he has to find something that fits his personality.

 

Mohawk!

 

not quite what I Was thinking..
maybe he cuts off enough of it to make a nice lookin' fauxhawk?

fauxhawks are cool

 

Pictures would also be very helpful if you wouldn't mind. (of him)

 

I'd also suggest a more natural look. I think gel in the hands of even the most mature 14 year old will end up looking too stiff.

There are lots of hair puttys or fiber cremes that will let him style it and still have a pretty soft look. When I had longer hair, I used a brand called Fudge, but now a lot of brands have the same kind of products.

Of course the cut is important too, but most of that is about how he wants it to look. Maybe suggest he look for pictures of what he thinks looks cool and find a good stylist that can shape his hair in a similiar style.

 

This is where a good stylist will be important, because there will almost always be a different between the hair in the cool pictures and his own hair. Especially as far as individual hair thickness and hair density go. Head and face shape are also important.

A good stylist will be able to take suggested looks and adapt them to your nephew's face and head, and will also be able to explain some of this to him.

 

Then he definitely wants a putty or fiber creme and not gel.

Maybe just ask him to come up with a couple more people whose hair he likes and then see if you can find someone that can come up with his own individual look for him.

 

I second the mohawk idea, every kid should have at least one in their lifetime.

 

maybe if he cuts it, he can do the messy spike look or the push foward then flip it.... a lot of teens have this look...
whats his look, skater, prep etc

 

Yeah...



...or not.
