How to Get Surfer Hair for Guys

Surfer hair can really mean one of hundreds of hair cuts. From Owen Wilson to Ricky Martin, surfer hair includes a lot of different styles. But for guys, each surfer hair style has several elements in common. Follow these steps, and you could have cool surfer hair.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Grow your hair out. Surfer hair on guys is usually longer than the average male hair cut. Even the bangs need to be long. For the average surfer hair length, grow your hair until it reaches just below your chin.

2. Search the Internet for a good picture of surfer hair that you would want to have. But be realistic. If you have wavy hair, pick a picture of a guy with wavy hair. If your hair is straight, pick a photo of a guy with straight hair.

3. Get a barber or a hair stylist to shape up you hair. Guys should have bangs long enough to put behind their ears. The rest of the hair's ends should have a slightly zigzag shape. Go to a seasoned stylist, and show her a picture and you'll get exactly what you want.

4. Buy some styling products. Generally, surfer hair should be very low maintenance-even for guys. But if your hair is excessively curly, you might want a little gel to keep down the frizz. If your hair is straight, you may want some texturizing cream to give your hair a wet, fresh-off-the-waves look.
