Otherwise known as the ‘George Clooney’ hair cut.

This hair style derives from the ‘slick back’ style and drives home one key aspect: 2009 men’s hair cuts are now all about the classics. In some cases this type of style can be too classic for many men. It does convey a real American look and is very popular with Ralph Lauren - many of the male models are found to be wearing this style in their catalogues.

If you are looking to try this hairstyle, you need to consider how you will wear it because much depends upon whether your hair is wavy or straight.

Straight hair: if you have straight hair you will need a longer cut on top.

Wavy hair: if you have wavy hair then go for short hair on top with a few inches of length (this will depend upon how wavy your hair is).

Styling your cut

Not much styling needed here, but you will need to find the right styling product. You are best going for a wax or gel. The trick is to make sure that the side you decide to slick back will suit your face.
There may be some experimentation needed at first before you get the look you like.
