Bryce at Hair Fair 2009

Gentlemen, pay attention.  Many of you are oblivious to mens’ hairstyles in RL.  You think it doesn’t matter; you like the way your barber’s been cutting it the last decade; you don’t want to worry about upkeep.  (Ok, metrosexuals, perhaps this doesn’t apply to you.)  I ask you to scroll through the six hairstyles below.

Hairstyles are important.  Hairstyles help to tell the world you are; they express a certain personality.  Bryce Tully, the talented creator behind Bryce Designs, has six offerings at hair fair, and each has its own flavor.  Bryce is one of the leading mens’ hair creators, which means one of the leading creators of ladies’ short styles.  Sorry boys; we’re stealin’ your stuff again.

Look at those textures.  That’s the kind of thick, silky hair that, in RL, demands that you run your fingers through it.  I just love it when visual textures capture a tactile quality so well.

The style above, Hinder, is my favorite of the bunch.  I have a thing for the classic Caesar cut, and it’s a tough style to replicate in SL, because it’s so damn short.  It’s no-nonsense sexy on a man, and delightfully pixieish on a lady.  Bryce has done a gorgeous job here.

Are you seeing what I mean, gentlemen?  These pics have identical shapes and skins; the only change is the hair.  And yet, there’s no doubt, when you look at these pics, that they’d be very different men and women, with their own unique personalities.  That’s the power of a hairstyle.  That’s also a testament to the talent of Bryce Tully, who’s created it all.

Sidenote: the style above, Brewce, has a scripted color-changing cap.  Just click on the cap and choose from the pop-up menu.  There are a total of 6 solid-colored caps, and 3 caps with a design on the front fold.
