2016 NBA Draft Style Guide: Do’s and don’ts

Do something fun with your hair.

The draft cap comes eventually for all hair-dos but before their names are called, the draft class needs to look good in the green room and styling hair is a major key. Not everyone is gifted with the endless and tangled locks of Elfrid Payton but at nineteen few have to worry about receding hairlines like LeBron James. This season, the NBA’s hair styles were led by Jeremy Lin, who kept a rotation between a side part, man bun, ponytail, mohawk, and a brushback. In the NBA Finals, Iman Shumpert even tried out a perm and an odd kind of poofy-bun.

Getting to a barber for a fresh cut is required for the best dressed out there. The hair styles are still boxy with the hightop fades.  Although the better haircuts now have visible parts and geometric cut designed into the fade. Others opt for the contrast of a fade on the sides with curls on top like Kelly Oubre, or a mix of a fade with dreads.

Any players that are still looking for inspiration should look no further than the Euro 2016 competition, where all styles of parts, mohawks, and undercuts are on full display.
