HAIR FOR THE MODERN MAN

The Leading Man

By Katie Jane Bailey, Hair Stylist at Larry King London, Notting Hill

Welcome to the first instalment of Hair for The Modern Man - a series designed to educate and inspire when it comes to men’s hair.

For our first look, I’m focusing on The Leading Man.

This is my take on an effortlessly classic haircut. It’s softly tailored through the sides, with natural movement left through the top, and a shape that grows out beautifully between appointments. 

The goal is always hair that looks intentional, but never overstyled. Polished enough for work, relaxed enough for the weekend, and adaptable enough to suit whatever your day looks like. A great cut should do most of the work for you - your styling routine should simply enhance what’s already there.

How to Style: Styling should be quick and uncomplicated.

Work a small amount of Larry King A Social Life For Your Hair finishing cream through damp hair, distributing it evenly from roots to ends. You can either air dry for a softer, more natural finish, or use a dryer to gently encourage movement and shape.

Once dry, lightly refine the shape using your hands and, if needed, add a touch more cream to define texture and enhance separation.

 

Book an appointment with a Larry King London stylist to tailor The Leading Man to your hair type - the best haircut is one that works long after you leave the salon.
