Key men's hair looks from 2014

2014 has been one of the most adventurous year’s for men’s hair since the heady days of the 1980s. Here we look back at some of the key men's hair looks that shaped the past 12 months. The Man Bun Love it or hate it, you couldn’t ignore the man bun in 2014 – and it’s still a key look for 2015, all be it in a more relaxed form. This award-wining shot from Michael Francos at D&J Ambrose epitomises the more dressy buns that prevailed in the early part of the year.

But the beard isn’t about to disappear any time soon.

Curls While sides often remained shorter, many men’s looks embraced natural curls and texture.
