Most popular hairstyles for men - and the one everyone thinks suits them
A poll of 2,000 males found most men have stuck with the same hairstyle because they don't have the confidence to change it The typical bloke has had the same haircut for over ten years. A survey of 2,000 men revealed most chaps have kept the same style because they don't have the confidence to switch it up, or worry about what people might say if they do. According to the study men settle on their look by the age of 31, with short back and sides being the most popular choice (35 per cent), followed by the buzzcut (16 per cent). The 'alpaca back and sides' – inspired by the animal's fleece – emerged as another trendy option, especially amongst 25 to 34 year olds. Following the research commissioned by Alpacalypse Session IPA by SALT Brewery, a pop-up Shearer Shop offering one haircut – the alpaca back and sides – has been launched. Brewery spokesman Edd Simpson said: "We knew Alpacalypse would turn heads - we just didn't expect it to be at the barbershop. Now everyone wants the alpaca back and sides." The study discovered that amongst those yet to try the style, most regard it as a 'cool' cut and reckon it would work for them, with a quarter saying they're 'likely' to have a go. It emerged those polled were most experimental with their style aged 22. Yet, of all the things men are most likely to experiment with – such as clothes and cuisine, their hair is the area they are least open to doing something new with. A third of respondents said they 'might' be open to changing their hairstyle after consulting with a trusted hairdresser, and a fifth confessed they might contemplate a new look following a significant life event such as a break up or a job change. The study, conducted by OnePoll, revealed that 38 per cent care about others' opinions on their appearance - with 28 per cent believing they are more fashionable than their friends. Those surveyed also disclosed which animals they believe have the best hair – the male lion topped the list, followed by the Samoyed dog, highland cattle, and the alpaca. Richard Tucker, senior barber at Ruffians, who has partnered with Alpacalypse Session IPA by SALT Brewery for the pop-up, stated: "We're delighted to host the Alpacalyse Shearer Shop as Brits embrace a new look."
