Although this layered and feathered medium haircut Jon Bon Jovi is wearing is very famous and has been copied worldwide, it’s nothing compared to the big, blonde, curly hair he used to have in the 80s during the glam rock period. Those were the days for blonde men hairstyles.
25. The Paul Walker
This would definitely be something that, in this day and age we could call the ‘good guy haircut.’ Or the ‘guy next door haircut.’ In a world filled with slick backs, man buns, and undercuts, you don’t get many of these anymore.
