9 Celebrity Hairstyles for Men

I’ll admit to being vain when it comes to fashion. If it doesn’t have a quality brand label sewn on the inside, then it’s not going on my body. Whoever coined the phrase “clothes don’t make the man” obviously never donned a Valentino suit with a corresponding pair of Kenneth Cole shoes. Since high school I’ve prided myself on the regular compliments earned by the keen sense of style I’ve continued to hone over the years. Oh, I’ll say thank you, should anyone mention how good I look in Ralph Lauren, but underneath this feigned modesty, I’m thinking, “Yeah, I know.”

I’m equally narcissistic when it comes to grooming, yet for all my savviness in pairing patterned, silk ties with modern cut, poplin shirts, the same cannot be said when it comes to how I wear my hair. Keep in mind I’ve consulted men’s books and stylists. I am fully versed on basic head shapes; and I understand which cuts best frame them. Even so, I’ve never found a style that has completely worked for my noggin.

Naturally this has fostered an insecurity that forces me to stop dead in my tracks and critique my hair anytime I’m within five meters of a mildly reflective surface. Furthermore, my lack of coif confidence has made me susceptible to outside influence, namely celebrities whose look I’ll attempt to mimic in the hopes of finding my hairdo’s doppelganger. It’s been a strange dream of mine to have random strangers approach me for no other reason but to say, “Wow. For a second there, I thought you were [insert famous personality]. I think it’s the hair that fooled me.” To date, however, this has yet to happen as my history of celeb-inspired ‘dos are actually a long list of “don’ts” dating back to kindergarten.

Joe B. Hey, how about some pics for those of us who don't know wtf the "Tom Welling" is. Jesus H....who is running this site? - 05/08/2011

Ron M. Hey, Ras A, ironically that's what most people say when meeting me for the first time. By the way, props to you for the proper contextual use of "bedizen." It tells me you probably also understand the definitions of "hyperbole" and "self-deprecation." It's just too bad you don't recognize them in action. I'd love to stay and chat, but Payless is running a special on shoes, and I gotta get there before it's over. Have a good'n. - 01/09/2011
Larry V. At least, unless I missed it , you never had a mullet. Try to feel my pain as I look at the pictures. - 12/20/2010
Ras A. The entire first paragraph makes you sound very douche-y. I understand fragile egos can paradoxically present itself as huge egos in public. The fact you need a name brand label sewn inside your clothes makes you sound like an ass. This is the bedizen equivalent to sucking your thumb. - 12/14/2010
Ben L. you think way too highly of yourself. kenneth cole shoes? try ferragamo at a minimum. valentino suit? look up savile row. as for your hairstyle, it does need work, but it's not as hard as you think. nobody cares. - 12/14/2010
Beta D. Hilarious, dude. And as I have said before of your hair woes, the bald and balding community really feels terrible for you. Jerk. - 12/10/2010
