About the Lush Open Waves for Men
Who it suits
This style is ideal for those with oval, heart, or diamond face shapes as the horizontal volume at the shoulders balances facial proportions beautifully. It performs best on medium to high-density hair that possesses enough natural strength to support large-scale waves without going limp. Individuals with a straight or slightly wavy base texture will find it easier to manipulate their hair into these structured, wide-patterned curves.
How to ask for it
Ask for a long haircut with seamless internal layering and face-framing pieces that begin below the chin to add movement without losing the dense, lush feel of the ends. The perimeter should be kept relatively blunt to support the wide wave pattern, while long layers through the back prevent the style from looking bottom-heavy. Request a styling finish using a large-barrel iron, directing the waves away from the face starting at mid-length.
Upkeep & styling
Maintenance involves a professional trim every eight to ten weeks to prevent split ends from weighing down the silhouette and compromising the bounce. You will need a large-diameter curling tool and a heat-protectant volumizing spray to recreate the expansive shape daily, as well as a wide-tooth comb for softening the waves.
Lush Open Waves — frequently asked questions
Will this cut work for shorter hair lengths?
This specific look requires length that reaches at least past the collarbone to allow for the wide wave revolutions to form properly without looking too bouncy or round.
How does this style handle high humidity?
Because this look relies on structured volume, humidity can cause the waves to frizz or lose their specific open shape, so an anti-humidity finishing spray is a vital tool for longevity.
Is a middle or side part better for this look?
A deep side part maximizes the glamorous volume on one side, while a center part creates a more modern, symmetrical frame that highlights the broadness of the waves near the shoulders.
