Spikes became instantly liked by every man in that generation as it is easy to style and does not require much effort. Men have perfected the look since then and have been sporting the look with casual as well as formal outfits.
In the in initial stages, the only spike look was in the form of the front hair standing. But in the recent times the barbers and hairstylist have come up with different styles of spikes which have become a sensation in the hairstyle world. These hairstyles soon became trendy and a life changing style statement for men. The spikey look is famous not only for its unique style but also for its youthful look and it became even more popular as it was seen on many college goers. This hairstyle got better with time and many sport it on a daily basis and have become their permanent style.
Spiky styles are perfect for people who want to still look professional during their day job. The look can be quickly combed down for formal settings, and you can instantly slick the strands back up into party mode once the work has been accomplished. This will give you a lot more sway when making first impressions and those who know you may recognize your mood based on the up-or-down placement of your man locks.
Spikes can add texture to and style to your simple haircut whether it is a soft or messier spikes. Using gel was one of the main methods to get a spikey look. Many used hard gel or wax to keep the hair in place depending on the hair length and type. However, today’s spiked up hairstyles tend to have a more natural look. There are several versions of the spikes looks but the three basic versions of this look are the long spikes, the medium spikes and the short spikes.
The long spikes version is made from long hair (obviously). The hair has to be at least 3-4 inches long in order to be spiked up. The long hair can be gelled up or waxed to get the hair standing throughout the day. It’s mostly sported by young men and college goers who do not have to look professional and do not have to be under the yoke of any company norms.
The medium length spikes version, as the name suggests is done on hair lengths relatively shorter than the long hair. It’s a perfect balance between the long and short versions. This style of spikes provides a funky and cool yet a classy look. This version provides a balance between the shorter and longer versions of spikes.
Short length spikes are the last version in the spikes kingdom. This look is not the most popular hairstyle among men but it is definitely the most common and has always been.

Spikes look great when they are just made in front. The front spikes look is also known as the classic spikey hairstyle. In this haircut the hair in the front is kept standing while the rest is kept down. The rest of the hair can be cut very short to outline the long strands on top.
Many fashionable spiky hairstyles for men start with growing bangs and keeping the rest rather short. The way to keep the front spikes is by applying hair gel or hair wax. We prefer you use hard hold gel so that your hair stays up all day. You can style your hair with a comb if your hair is long or even with your hand depending on how you are convenient.
