Question
I just had my hair cut today, and I love it so far.
But I have a question. My hair is cut and razored pretty much like Alex Evans. I wanted to know how to style hair like his.  I have product, like Paul Mitchell's Wax, Lab glue, etc. I'm sure its some sort of technique. I hope you can help!

Here is the picture of Alex:

Thank you for your time!

Answer
Hiya Josiah,

Your stylist should have shown you how to work with your new haircut so if my advice here doesn't help, make an appointment for a little lesson.

The less you do the better it looks. Put a bit of wax in and blow dry. Don't try to hard. Blow your hair toward your face and hold it out away from your scalp a bit but don't try to get it perfect. Once it's dry you can use the wax or Lab Glue to piece it out and push and pull it where you like it. I like to rub the Lab Glue in my hands and then squeeze the hair to get it to lift and the wax I put on my fingertips to pinch the ends for separation. Don't make it too perfect or you'll look, well, too perfect. It should pretty much dry in the right direction so it shouldn't be too hard to get the hang of it.

Cool haircut.
