2008 Hottest Hairstyles for Men

It's almost as if 2007 rang in just a short while ago, and here we are at the dawn of another year. And, with a new year, comes new hairstyles, or of course the reinvention and renewal of hairstyles from the past.

Since I haven't really talked about men's hairstyles, I figured my first blog for 2008 hairstyles, should definitely be something for men, and while you wouldn't think that men would read this blog, you all have told me in person that you do, so this one's for you!

George Clooney and David Bekham are by far some of the most recognizable style icons of our time. Both Clooney and Bekham have also gone through several hair transformations from long, to short and everything in between.

While different hairstyles have come and gone, I feel strongly that two of the hottest trends for 2008 are the short, cleaner cut look as seen in Clooney and the mid-hair length ultra styled rugged look as seen in Bekham.

George Clooney's cut is nice because it requires very little styling and product, yet still looks well groomed and professional even while sporting the scruff. This hairstyle is easy to achieve but you'll need to get it cut approximately every three to four weeks to maintain the look. It has to be cut short regularly on the sides to keep it trimmed around the ears and loses its shape fairly quickly if not properly maintained. This look works for every type of lifestyle, from the professional white collar workers to athletes.

David Bekham's cut has much more of a rugedness and it seems this edgy almost unkept type look seems to be growing in popularity, especially with younger men. Bekham's hairstyle is cut almost the same length throughout the hair with lots of texturizing, and has also been bleached at the tips. This color can also be achieved by highlighting and creates and adds to the overall texture of the style. The upkeep, however, on this hairstyle is better in comparison to the Clooney cut because of the nature of the unkept style, however, it does require more product and a bit more time styling it.
