What are some of the trends that locals are interested in when it comes to grooming?

Here are some of the most popular trends in men’s grooming that Bloemfontein is loving right now:

Hair Comes the Groom

Weddings have always been focused on the bride’s big day, but recently there is a shift towards the importance of the grooms grooming. At the Chop Shop barbershop, we’ve seen an increase in grooms and their groomsmen coming in for the ultimate grooming experience before the big day. Our team ensures that the groom and his party look their absolute best with top-notch haircuts, nose waxes, and other grooming services. The best part of it all? The celebratory drinks and laughter shared over a few rounds while getting groomed. So, why not make your wedding day unforgettable by starting it off at the Chop Shop?

Rise of Maskculinity

Recently, gaining popularity, is skin care for men. That’s right – taking care of your skin isn’t just for women anymore. More and more men are investing in high-quality skin care products to keep their skin looking healthy and youthful. At Chop Shop Barbershop, we offer a range of skin care services, including steam shaves.

No More Grey Areas

For years, men have been conditioned to hide their grey hair with hair dye. But now, many men are embracing their grey hair and letting it shine. Whether you go for a salt- and-pepper look or go full silver fox, embracing your natural hair colour is a great way to show off your confidence and individuality.

Buzzed, Bold and Bearded

Short haircuts and beards have been popular for a while now, and for good reason. A well-groomed beard can add a rugged and masculine edge to any look, while a buzz cut keeps things clean and low maintenance. And if you want to take things to the next level, consider combining the two for a buzzed-and-bearded look that’s sure to turn heads.

Taper Fade Takeover

The taper fade has been a staple in men’s grooming for years, but it’s still going strong. And now, we’re seeing even more variations on the classic style. From high fades to low fades, skin fades to bald fades, there’s a taper fade for every style and preference.

The Return of the Pompadour

The pompadour has been around since the 1950s, but it’s still as popular as ever. And now, we’re seeing even more variations on the classic style, from messy, textured pompadours to slick, shiny ones. If you’re looking for a timeless style that will never go out of fashion, the pompadour is a great choice.

Scent-sational

Looking good isn’t just about appearances anymore, it’s also about smelling good. Men are investing in high-quality scented grooming products to add an extra touch of sophistication to their overall style.

The Executive Contour

Popular Men Hairstyle

Know it:

It’s not a cut. It’s a tool to get what you want. Rules boardrooms. Does awfully well in bedrooms, as well.

Get it:

The Executive Contour is a classic men’s cut. It’s a bit like a Hard Part Pompadour, but without the hard part and with considerably more length on the sides and back, so you can’t see scalp. Consider starting with a clipper guard of four. You can always cut it closer after that. The Executive Contour works with or without a hard part, depending on how structured you want it to appear.

Build it:

1. Scrub a towel over your hair, leaving it only slightly damp.

2. Use a comb to create a smart part, straight back from your hairline to your crown.

3. Blow the whole mess dry, maintaining the parting, using a Vent type brush to add a bit of a natural wave. 

4. When everything’s dry, smooth Reuzel Green Pomade evenly through your hair.

5. Comb The Executive Contour into place.

6. Use your fingers to create a natural curl in the bangs, laying it back against the hair on top. After all, there isn’t a single titan of industry who isn’t a bit of a rascal when he needs to be.

The Junior Contour

Popular Men Hairstyle

Know it:

Somewhere along the way, every l’il rascal starts to transform into a proper scumbag. This isn’t just a cut, it’s a rite of passage.

Get it:

Have the young gentleman tell his barber he wants his hair short on the back and sides, but rather long and thick up top. The intent is to create a natural side part.

Build it:

1. Shampoo with REUZEL 3-in-1 Men’s Tea Tree Shampoo. (Because lord knows boys don’t stand still long enough for proper conditioning.)

2. Thoroughly towel-dry the hair.

3. Use a comb to create a side part, and then blowdry the hair on top brushing up and back as you do.

4. Scoop out a liberal amount of Reuzel Red Pomade and smooth it through the hair, working from crown to tips.

5. Now comb the whole mop back into place, sweeping the long bangs up and back over the opposite side of the head.

6. Snap a photo now, dad. Because if your lad’s anything like ours, he won’t be returning quite as clean as he left.

The Scumbag Boogie

Popular Men Hairstyle

Know it:

Calling Jay Gatsby. This is the look that flattened women’s hearts during America’s Golden Age.

Get it:

The Scumbag Boogie is in every Reuzel barber’s wheelhouse. If you find yourself elsewhere, ask for a high fade and a relatively high side part. Tell them you want enough left up top to give your hair a bit of a wave.

Build it:

1. After a nice shower and daily shampoo, dry your hair with a towel. Use a comb to establish a clean part.

2. Blow dry hair with a vent brush, without lifting or creating excessive volume. (In fact, if you aren’t headed out for a bit, you can let the hair dry on its own.)

3. Once dry, apply a liberal amount of Reuzel Blue Pomade for a firm hold, smoothing it from the part sideways. Or use Reuzel Red Pomade for a hold that’ll loosen up after a solid hour of jitterbugging, if you know what we mean.

4. Comb hair into place, letting the teeth flow naturally with the wave of your hair. Let the good times roll.

The Vanguard Hairstyle

Popular Men Hairstyle

Know it:

The full-bore slick back. No part. No fuss. Nothing standing between your face and the world about to be laid at your feet.

Get it:

A Reuzel-certified shop will clock just what The Vanguard is. But a lesser stylist, who knows? So tell them you want to comb your hair straight back, without any obvious blending or undercut.

Build it:

1. Apply a generous palm of REUZEL Grooming Tonic to clean, towel dried hair. 

2. Run a comb through your hair to make sure the tonic is spread evenly.

3. For an extra-straight look, blow dry while directing hair backward with a 7-9 row Denman type brush. If you’d rather keep just a bit of natural wave, use a vent brush instead.

4. Once that’s done, you’ll want to put in some product to lock The Vanguard down. Use Reuzel Blue Pomade, and let the pork do the work.

5. Comb everything backwards evenly, so there’s no visible part.

6. If you’d like a bit of height, use a hair pick to lift up the front and top. But in general, keep it smoothed back from your face. After all, the whole point of The Vanguard is looking like you got nothing to hide. Even if you do.

The Low Fade Pompadour

Popular Men Hairstyle

Know it:

Keep it low, buddy. Get down to the scalp around the neck and ears. Then a speedy blend to create weight on the sides and back.

Get it:

Ask your stylist for a Low Fade Pompadour. The most common question you’ll get is, “How low do you want to go?” The proper reply is that you want the fade to blend one inch above your ears.

Build it:

1. Apply Reuzel Grooming Tonic to clean, towel dried hair. This’ll make your hair easier to control, and smell very nice indeed.

2. Use a comb to create a part, pushing the hair over and back.

3. Blow your hair dry, while using a 7-9 row Denman- type brush to direct your hair. The sides go backwards. The front goes up and then back over your crown.

4. When you’re done drying, scoop out a knuckle’s worth of Reuzel Blue Pomade for a clean, high shine. Or use Reuzel Pink Pomade, which will thicken your hair into pure grease.

5. Rub the product between your palms and smooth it through the hair, petting yourself like a good doggie from front to back, away from the part.

6. Comb everything into place, lifting your bangs up and back if you want even more height up front.

The Textured Long Crop

Popular Men Hairstyle

KNOW IT:

The textured long crop is a classic shorter at the sides and back with a bit of extra length on top haircut. Enough hair on the sides and back to cover the scalp and just enough length on top to show lift and texture. 

GET IT:

Tell your barber or stylist you just saw Steve McQueen in the movie “The Great Escape” and you’ve been inspired but you want the top a bit more texturized.  If they don’t know what you’re talking about, show ’em this picture.

BUILD IT:

Clean the textured crop haircut with one of our shampoos and condition the hair. Towel dry the hair and spritz on a small amount of Reuzel Spray Grooming Tonic. Comb the hair into place on the sides and back and tussle the top with your fingers. Allow to dry naturally.

For a strong textured top – use a dab of Reuzel Extreme Hold Matte Pomade and rub it into the longer hair on top until happy with the look. For a softer more natural look – use Reuzel Matte Styling Paste instead.
