Evan Lysacek is part of the US Olympic men’s figure skating team and will be competing soon at the Vancouver Olympics. He is extremely talented on the ice and is one of the tallest skaters to grace the competition. He is 6’2″!!! Yet, he performs fluidly and with great technical difficulty as he sweeps Grand Prix and National Skating Competitions.

Evan tends to shirk the sport norm of donning sequins and glitz to get attention on the ice. “I think I’m bringing an element of style and showing that this is my idea of what a modern man should dress like and look like,” Lysacek explains. “It can still be stylish and it can still have some element of fashion, but [also] be masculine at the same time.”

Evan’s hair is also quite modern and very versatile. He keeps it slightly longer with a heavy fringe area so that he can create multiple looks. It looks good forward and messy or to the side and more coiffed. Want to achieve this look? Ask your stylist for longer round layers with a taped nape. Light texture on the crown and sides gives the look movement and play. Try using Kevin Murphy’s Easy Rider for control and light hold or for more defined looks try Sculpting Putty by Alterna.

Good luck getting the gold medal Evan! We’re rooting for ya!
