The Powerful Men of HBO’s True Blood

trueblood-mouth2

Since 2008, Alan Ball’s HBO drama has entranced its viewers with the special goings on of the supernatural world of vampires, shapeshifters and psychics. Now into season 3, the fervor for this overwhelming trend in entertainment is ablaze for these politically challenged blood suckers.

What makes this show unique is its amazing cast of men which includes Stephen Moyer, Alexander Skarsgard and Ryan Kwanten. These sexy hunks have wet the appetite of viewers with their intensity, individual style and allure. In addition, each of these men exhibit the casual, modern trend of wearing hair longer than traditional clipper cuts.

In the first season of True Blood, we saw Alex’s character, Eric, with a shoulder length style which eventually morphed into the shorter version it is now. This style is long on top and front and layered through the sides. This is a very versatile style as it can be slicked back or parted on the side. A great product for this style is Easy Rider by Kevin Murphy. It uses shea butter to soften the hair for control and give it flexible hold.

In contrast to Eric, Stephen’s character, Bill, looks like he has a long layered cut with added razor texture. This thins the hair out and creates more of a “piece-y” quality. This technique is great for darker colored hair that isn’t prone to frizz as it provides more interest to the style than a basic haircut. We recommend styling with Texturizing Glaze by Alterna to aid in defining the style.

Lastly, the wayward Jason Stackhouse character’s hair is sporting a shorter shear cut. This cut is brought in close through the back and sides and then softly layered through the longer length on top. This haircut can also be razored for fullness but is not recommended on finer or low density hair types. Styling this look is easy with Extreme Wax by Alterna. Apply the product and muss the hair in an upward motion with your fingers.

We are so excited to see what surprising plot twists are in store for us as we watch Bill and Sookie struggle to keep their love alive amidst all the vampire chaos. We’re sure no matter what, we’ll see these creatures take a bite out of life in 2010!
