This look is great for guys who want that slightly longer style, but don’t want anything too extreme or high maintenance. This loose, wavy cut and styling how-to will show you exactly how to control his subtle chaos. And once the look is complete, we recommend suggesting a cleaner-looking shave to keep the attention on his hair. Here’s how to make the look come to life.   Learn more about the Esquire Barbers!
