With the short pushback haircut, the sides and back are cut short, but the top is left long enough to style. Depending on the desired look, the sides and back of the hair can be tapered or faded to contrast with the top. The top can also be textured to add movement and create a more modern look. This is a great option for men who want a stylish, easy-to-maintain haircut that offers a variety of styling options.
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 keep their natural shape and volume. Blow dry with a diffuser on low heat to set the style and keep the volume. Finish with a light oil or serum to add shine and frizz control.
Towel dry hair. Apply a light pomade or gel that provides hold and shine. Using a fine-tooth comb, push the hair back to create a sleek finish. To lock in the style, use a blow dryer on medium heat while combing hair back. Finish with hairspray to secure your look.
Start with damp hair. Apply a lightweight mousse or cream that enhances waves and provides a light hold. Using your fingers, push the hair back to allow the waves to fall naturally while maintaining volume. Let air dry, or use a blow dryer and diffuser on low heat to enhance the natural wave texture and volume. Finish with a light hold hairspray to secure your look while allowing natural movement.
