With the long pushback haircut, the hair is kept significantly longer so that it can be styled back with volume and flow. Depending on the desired look, the sides and back of the hair can be tapered, faded, or left longer to either contrast or blend with the top. For men who prefer longer hair, this is a timeless yet versatile look that offers styling options ranging from sleek and polished to effortless and casual.
Towel dry hair. Apply a cream or leave-in conditioner that enhances curls and prevents frizz. Using your fingers, gently push back the curls to maintain their natural shape and movement. Let air dry, or use a blow dryer and diffuser on low heat to set the style and keep the volume. Finish with a light oil or serum to maintain shine and control frizz.
Towel dry hair. Apply a light pomade or gel to provide hold and shine. Using a fine-tooth comb, push the hair back to create a smooth finish. Let air dry, or for hold, use a blow dryer on medium heat while combing hair back. Finish with hairspray to secure your look.
Towel dry hair. Apply a lightweight matte paste or texture cream to add texture and create separation. Using your fingers, push the hair back to create a piecey, textured look. Let air dry, or to enhance texture and natural movement, blow dry hair on low heat while finger-styling. Finish with a light-hold hairspray to maintain your look.
