Grooming the Groom: Men’s Wedding Hairstyles

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

From our experience, brides will scour the web, flip through dozens of magazines and tirelessly Photoshop new hairstyles on themselves in the search for the perfect wedding hair. Grooms, on the other hand, tend to roll out of bed in the morning, shower and call it a day.

We know some men won’t be too excited about their grooming options, but a man who takes care of his skin and hair before the wedding gets a thumbs up in our book! We encourage you to talk to your guy about making an appointment at a spa or dermatologist before the wedding to consider his skincare options.

Popular spa treatments for men include:

  • Gentleman’s facials to cleanse and exfoliate the skin
  • Microdermabrasion to remove scars and fine lines
  • Eyebrow shaping for a natural appearance
  • Polish-free manicures to make sure his nails are in top shape

Plus, when it comes to hairstyles, conservative cuts with texture tend to come out on top. He shouldn’t sacrifice any of his style, but he might consider growing out that buzz cut or trimming his long locks for the big day. Here are a few of our favorite groom’s hairstyles:
