What we’re talking about

History of the haircut

“The Canadian haircut appeared in Canada in the middle of the 20th century. Initially, it was popular among athletes and military personnel. This is not surprising, since the haircut keeps a neat look even with an active lifestyle. In the 1970s, the “Canadian” was at the peak of fashion. Then it began to be worn by Canadian hockey players.

Actually, it was Soviet athletes, having seen the new image of their colleagues at matches, gave it the name “Canadian”. In the USSR, this haircut quickly gained popularity. It became one of the most popular among men.

Over time, the versatility and ease of care made the “Canadian” popular all over the world. Many men continue to wear it since it came into fashion. Although modern haircuts such as the moth and cropped have somewhat squeezed the Canadian, it remains one of the most versatile and popular.

Technique of the “canadian”

The main feature of the haircut is that the hair on the top of the head remains quite long – up to 5 cm. Temporal zones and the back of the head are cut short with a machine. This creates a characteristic contrast between the top and sides of the head.

In the classic version of the “canadian” the length of hair in the temporal zones is about 6 mm. But modern interpretations often provide for the start of the haircut with zero length at the temples. In the “canadian” it is important only to observe the only condition. You need to create a smooth transition between hair lengths to avoid sharp lines and create a harmonious image.

With a parting in the middle

If you want something new, you can try a “Canadian” with a parting in the middle. This option looks unusual and stylish. The hair on the top of the head remains medium length, usually from 5 to 7 cm. The key element is a parting exactly in the middle. It gives the haircut an interesting look and emphasizes the facial features.

This option is suitable for different hair types and face shapes. The haircut can also be adapted to the individual characteristics of a man. The medium length of hair on the top of the head allows you to experiment with styling. They can be pulled back. You will get a more formal style. Give your hair texture and volume if you want a casual look.

Slicked back

Another interesting type of “Canadian” is with a slicked-back style. The length of hair on the top of the head is medium. Usually barbers leave from 5 to 10 cm. This option allows you to comb the hair back, creating a good volume. The temples and the back of the head are cut short, but a smooth transition from the sides to the top makes the image harmonious.

However, such a haircut requires careful care. To maintain the shape, it is recommended to visit the barber every 4-6 weeks. At home, it is important to use special shampoos, balms and masks. They will help to keep the hair healthy and shiny.

The haircut can be combed back with the help of styling products. A hair gel will work great. It will give the “canadian” even more volume and fix it for the whole day. If you want a more natural look, you can use a comb to lightly ruffle the hair and give it texture.

How to style the “Canadian”?

The “Canadian” haircut requires no special care. However, to give it a more groomed look, it is recommended to use a hair dryer. For styling, a matte paste is best suited. “Kanadka” does not require strong fixation, so you should not use clay, pomade or hairspray. Having dried the hair with a hair dryer, evenly distribute a small amount of paste on your hands. Apply the styling product to the entire surface of the hair at the top of the head.

The versatility and simplicity of the “Canadian” make it one of the most popular haircuts today. It will suit absolutely any man, regardless of age and lifestyle. The most important thing is not to be afraid to change and experiment. “Kanadka” will definitely help to create a stylish image.
