Where did the Hitler Youth come to us - is the haircut relevant and fashionable today, and why is it called that? This hairstyle of the 30s, at first it was worn only by men. Its roots go back to the war during the reign of Adolf Hitler, and it got its name from the notorious SS children's detachment, which included minor girls and boys who wanted to defend Germany and serve their Fuhrer. Growing up, these young soldiers wore similar haircuts, the top of which was neatly combed, and the rest of the hair on the head was shortened. But modern stylists have already dubbed this hairstyle a new name - "preppy", which translates as "high school student." The new meaning of hairstyles does not recall the National Socialist pages of history, but the appearance of children from wealthy families of America who dressed expensively, had a well-groomed
appearance and wore parted or combed back hair.
The German image in modern fashion and the assessment of stylists
Despite the confusion of names, the Hitler Youth is a haircut that quickly became one of the fashion trends of 2013 and still holds its position. Critics attribute
this to the versatility of hairstyles: it can be worn by both young girls and men. It attracts an unusual combination of a long top and smooth
hair texture. Also, it is characterized by the presence of parting, smoothness, and sometimes the effect of wet hair. In 2014, the Hitler Youth haircut (photo attached) began to be performed a little more accurately, complementing the image of the “ideal German”. When creating it, avoid glued ends, try not to emphasize the artificially created hair texture - the hairstyle should look as natural, smooth as possible.
How to get a haircut?
"Hitler Youth" - a haircut that requires a certain
length of hair. Their
average length , at which it will look beautiful, should be at least 10 cm at the top (this facilitates its daily styling) and up to 5 cm (maximum) to the sides. It is better to remove the hair from the side to a minimum, the rule works here: the shorter the better. Elongated strands can be stacked on the parting or combed back. What to use for styling? Gel and wax in this case will help you create a wet texture, and a medium or strong fixation depending on the type of hair will help to give the hairstyle a finished look. Use your fingers instead of a comb, this will allow the haircut to look natural, not to push, as if you just woke up and smoothed your head.
To summarize
As a result, the Hitler Youth style haircut creates the effect of a true German officer, accurate, punctual and serious. If the preppy option is closer to you, then turn into a diligent student who believes in success and does everything to start a promising career. This allows you to look beautiful both at ceremonial receptions and in everyday life. Do not forget that the Hitler Youth is a haircut suitable not only for men. For girls, the more "hooligan" version with hanging strands and shorter shaved temples is common. You can create it on the male head, it all depends on how you want to look in a particular situation.
