One of my favorite ways to wear my hair, is pulled up (full up fat twist below, but it can also be a bun or any other up hair) with my guys down. My guys are all the little wisps around my face. It gives it such a romantic, natural look. And who doesn’t love a little romance?
These guys are supposed to look accidental, but they are very intentional. They were undercut to be at just the right parts of my jaw and neck. I prefer some at the hollow of my jaw, the corner of my mouth and just past my chin. My stylist friends and I have a million names for them. I have always called them “guys”, but others call them “fall downs”, “friends”, “wisps” and my favorite- “man catchers”. The “man catcher” is for the guys that fall right around your mouth, all sultry like.
These are pretty easy to do on yourself, and I think I’ll do a little tutorial pretty soon! I don’t usually recommend cutting your own hair, but these are easily covered/blended if they don’t turn out exactly how you like.
Do you like to have some guys around your face when your hair is up? Or are you more of a sleek lady?
Im so happy to get on here everyday for my daily dose of inspiration, which is exactly what I get every time I read one of your posts
I am a hairstylist also so its nice to see other peoples ideas. I tell of my other friends about this blog too!! Keep on doing your thing, its inspiring me to do a blog of my own!
i love the look of “guys” on others but i’m a sleek lady. mostly because i don’t have wispy guys just random hairs around my face that curl and don’t grow!
I’m going to start calling them my ‘guys’ too – I love a loose updo
I love your new blog header!!! and your “friends” I think I may start using that term with my clients. I love how it looks but I can’t stand when I have little pieces that fall out…
*meant guys, but either way still so fun!!
the shorter my guys are, they cowlickier my forehead is. so i like guys and i’ve had guys multiple times, but right now no guys. maybe i should swing that way again…
I need to have them for when I wear updos because I’m not crazy about my jaw from the side and the “guys” make my face look softer
It’s usually hard for me to get these cut just right when I go to the hairdresser, but the last time I went I finally got some great ones.
Oh I love my guys too! I don’t like my hair to look too polished. If it doesn’t have a few bumps and loose pieces, it’s not me.
I’m a lover of both sleek and “guys”. Unfortunately I’m incredibly boring when it comes to doing my own hair. It’s either down and straight or up in a boring gym-going pony tail. Boring boring boring….but I still love reading your blog and dreaming that I could someday have awesome hair do’s like you. {sigh}
And I LOVE the way your banner or whatever you want to call it turned out. All of the pictures are beautiful. Jake did an awesome job!! I like how it’s different pics every time you log on…yes, I’ve already been on here a couple times this morning. What can I say….I’m obsessed (in a good way, not a creepy way). Hope you have a good Monday!
Yes! Please do a tutorial on how to get “guys.” Glad to know this is a thing! I’ve always wanted to ask for it at the salon but wasn’t sure if it would be a weird request or not lol.
Please, please, please do a tutorial soon!!! I love “guys”, but I’m never quite sure how to ask my stylist for them. I love this blog!
I am more of a sleek girl myself but they look great on you! I have tried to do messy but it doesn’t really work for me, so I’m just trying to go with a smoother look and put my own spin on it!!
I love both looks, but usually opt for a sleek style.
Can I just say that I love the new look of your blog? Of course I can, I LOVE it!!!
Yes!!! would LOVE to know how to get a couple of my own “guys”
Can’t wait for the tutorial!
You blog is amazing ! You’ve inspired me to start blogging!!
The “guys” are a great way to not feel so naked in your updo!
Try a little light weight texture cream to control your “guys”. https://www.helpfulhairstylist.com
I want guys! Would love a tutorial
I’m so glad to hear that these are intentional. I’ve always wondered why some were blessed with this look but not others. I need them asap! Would really love a tutorial! Thanks!
i love “your guys” too! so pretty! a tutorial would be great, thanks!
PS: i am your number one italian fan
I LOVE YOUR GUYS! Definitely need a tutorial… otherwise I am sure I would ruin my hair trying style them my way:)
Depends on the outfit wether or not i will create a sleek up do or a more effortless look (hair around the face). Either way with the right hair color these looks can define facial features and look very sexy.
Would love to see the tutorial on this one!! Also adore your blog. You are the cutest
the statement said, the company decided to make a
Would love to see a tutorial on cutting your own ‘guys’.
Awesome blog!
Lol, mancatchers.
Oooooh! Guys! I want them, asap. I am sort of a newbie when it comes to hair-stuff, or at least that’s how Ive always felt.. Maybe the year of 2013 will bring me cool hair-doing abilities? Well, I am sure a tutorial on guys (!) will help me a lot!
In the Hispanic culture (I know for sure in the Dominican Republic) we call them “busca novios” (“boyfriend seekers” in English) which is basically the same as your “man catchers” how funny
