Who can pull this hairstyle off?
The truth is, not everyone can pull this off. This hairstyle is not for men with overly curly hair or for those who have very thin locks. If you have curly hair, the top most layers will create a circular bush at the top of your head instead of suave and polished layers.
For men with thin hair, this is not for you. Remember, the top most layer will be kept solely at the top of your head, so if you have very thin hair, it will just be a small portion there and will not create the desired style.

- Let the top layers and front layers of your hair grow for at least three inches long.

Cut the ends of the top layers by putting some portion between your index and middle fingers. Cut it using a thinning scissors. Work on other portions until you achieve the desired length and style.
- Brush off the cut hair to see any uneven portion of the side. Grab a small amount of gel and apply to the top most layers. Comb it parting to one side for styling.
