For a lot of guys, a short cut is a license to do what basically consists of nothing with their hair, especially if curls are involved. This is because leaving it to its own devices tends to be a lot easier than wrestling with a fine-tooth comb and a whole host of different products. But, if you can get enough hold from one product, you can do something with it.
It's all about asserting a little control over the hair to give it a more polished finish for something like a job interview, a formal occasion... or anything where you're not necessarily going to get away with the whole scruffy thing.
Your hair, your way
