When you think of your textured clients, you probably envision a woman with a mane of curls, or untamable frizz or even long, loose waves. Guess what? Men have those textures, too. But with their short hair cuts, they often buzz off their curls and you can’t tell what’s really happening on top of that head.

Unlike women, most men don't have many preconceived notions about their
hair. This makes your job as a stylist even more fun. After you consult with your
male client (show him lots of photos so he knows exactly what you're thinking),
make sure he knows how versatile his texture can be. This is also a great opportunity
to retail texture products. Guys can be clueless and overwhelmed by the
amount of hair products on your shelves-your advice will not only be needed,
but sought out.
And whether your male client is 16 or 60, be sure to emphasize that longer,
texturized looks can be styled age-appropriate for anyone. Check out our roundup
of textured celebrity men for inspiration. Want even more textured styles, tips and ideas? Visit modernsalon.com and
