Curls or out-of-bed look: Siddhartha Lal, Brian Chesky tell men how to get the hair right

Lenders to the debt-laden IL&FS group of companies may have to take a 10-15 per cent haircut. If you’re on the list and want to take the advice literally, here are some stylish men that you can take direction from.

Idris Elba
Elba’s hair, or rather lack of, is one of the reasons why he has been named the Sexiest Man Alive.

Elba’s skinhead close shave is easy to maintain, hides thinning hair and the faded sides add an edge. This is an ideal cut for a man who wants to be stylish and spend as little time doing it.

Siddhartha Lal
A call for curls. Lal’s style may seem effortless, but it requires quite a bit of TLC and product. A mousse or leave-in conditioner is a must for those who want to rock a longer curly style or your bedhead look may just have you thrown out of the boardroom.

Conor McGregor
The perfect combo of sporty and stylish, the boxer’s style can make you stand out from the crowd.

With a taper fade to show off the jaw line and a sleek combover for added drama, this haircut works for those who have thick hair. And a thick beard to bring it all together.

Enrique Peña Nieto
With never a hair out of place, the President of Mexico is the epitome of business buccaneer.

He never seems to get his feathers ruffled and his hair has been compared to a Lego man’s — perfection with a touch of plastic. This style is not for those who don’t have a thick, lustrous mane.

Brian Chesky
A rough-around-the-edges version of Nieto’s, Chesky’s cut is all about fun and functionality. With a tendency to curl and fluff out, Chesky’s haircut does require regular trims as it is short on the sides and longer on the top, sometimes with a Superman S-curl for added effect.
