After washing the hair, use a blow dryer to straighten the hair backward and add volume.

Apply a little bit of styling cream and finally comb to achieve a sleek precision.

Pulled Back and Side Part Hairstyle

This sophisticated look is a man’s must-have interview look.

Having the hair pulled back and parted to the side, psychologically makes you appear poised and keen.

To achieve this look, first wash your hair. Using a fine-toothed comb, create a parting or trace one that you already have.

Push the hair to the other end of the parting. Blow dry this hair upwards and back to highlight the side part.

Continue to comb and style the hair once it is dry. Use a tiny amount of wax or hairspray to create texture in the hair.

Stylist Arrojo from Brooklyn says:

“By keeping the back and sides short, you retain a strong masculine shape.”

Pushed Back and Curly Hairstyle

For job interviews, it’s a taboo that men with curly hair look immature and unkempt.

This curly hairstyle will instead make you appear optimistic and dedicated.

Jas, a finance graduate, gives his take on the hairstyle:

“I have curly hair and for job interviews I keep it pushed away from my face. It looks neat and gives me a positive appearance. It just does.”

All you have to do, is style the curly hair away and back from your face!

Buzz Cut Hairstyle
