Deconstructing Adam Levine's Cool Coif

Adam Levine, front man for Maroon 5 and coach of Team Adam on The Voice, has one of the hottest coifs right now (and let's be honest; he's got a pretty hot bod too)! Here, Krista Beahm, stylist at patrick mcivor color studio, waxes on why Adam’s sexy style is heating up the airwaves this summer, and why it could be the perfect option for your guy clients too! 

“Adam’s cut is tapered and short on the sides, making it a great cut for the warmer months, and it's longer and textured on the top so it has an edge. It’s fun, versatile and so easy to style. Warm up Matrix Design Pulse Messy Couture Molding Paste in your hands and simply push hair in the direction you want it to go in, all forward, towards the middle for a faux-hawk or every which way for a messy look. It’s that simple,” explains Krista.

She adds that when the sides start to grow in, there are even more options, like pushing it forward for a hip look or scraping it back for a chic look. Color can also be fun to play with. 

“Men look distinguished with gray hair, so they should rock it," she adds. "There’s only one rule to follow: keep it cool. Warm tones are less flattering on men; I don’t know if it’s because it appears to look unnatural or if it’s because women can get away with it because they wear makeup and more color, but almost every single man will look best with cool haircolor." To achieve Adam's cool chocolate brown, Krista recommends trying Matrix Socolor 5A.
