Featured Style: Creative Loose Throwback
Undeniably, every barber's arsenal is equipped with Loose Throwbacks, and featuring this particular one was an opportunity we couldn't overlook. This innovative Loose Throwback is the ingenious creation of Nuno Silva, a UCDC member also known as Rocky Barber, from the renowned Bigorna Parlour barbershop. This was realized by pushing the limits of a contemporary barbering essential.
Usually combined with a snug taper, Loose Throwbacks offer a functional style for men with medium-length hair seeking easy maintenance and flexibility. Rocky Barber has innovated the conventional Loose Throwback by introducing precise, imaginative linework around the neckline while preserving the length on top for the style's continuity. The styling was achieved using Uppercut Deluxe Salt Spray for added volume and concluded with a touch of Matte Pomade for enhanced texture and control, making this haircut satisfy all requirements. The tone remains professional.
Nuno elaborated on his creative philosophy in barbering, stating, "Innovation is impossible without the potential for failure. Hence, failure is not only part of the process but a crucial element. Permitting yourself to broaden your thinking paves the way for endless exploration, a unique realm." If you're considering attempting this hairstyle but visiting Bigorna Parlour isn't feasible, a photograph can be an excellent guide for your barber. Given that a picture is as valuable as numerous words, it will provide your barber with the necessary tools to accurately deliver the style you desire.
The Uppercut Deluxe Salt Spray and Matte Pomade are the perfect tools to achieve a Textured Loose Throwback look at home. Initiate the process by dispersing a couple of spritzes of Salt Spray onto your wet hair, blow-drying it afterward to instill volume and slight hold. Proceed by taking a small quantity of Matte Pomade and blending it thoroughly in your hands, ensuring an even distribution of the product. Apply a minor portion to the bangs using the tips of your fingers, then start from the back of your head and progress towards the front, ensuring a uniform spread of the pomade throughout your hair. Use your fingertips to pinch and add texture, separating the style.
