Get this:

The quiffed blowout style works well for both formal and informal events. It is ideal for men with long top hair.

For this style, blow out top hair straight up away from the face, then use a comb to push the ends of the hair back. You can also comb your hair to the sides rather than the back.

Styling Tips:

  • Use styling gel to mold your blowout into a chic shape at the front hairline.
  • Partner this style with a taper fade to highlight your edges.
  • Keep hair short on both sides of your blowout style.

Conclusion

All in all: 

Although the blowout hairstyle looks great with long or medium hair, it also works well with short hair. On the other hand, people with straight hair might have to put in an extra effort since this hair type has less volume and might not be able to stay in place for a long time. 

So:

If you pair the blowout hairstyle with a fade, you might need to visit your barber regularly to maintain the fade style. In addition, you will need to apply styling products to your blowout hairstyle to maintain its shape.
