If you think you're haircut should match your personality, you're wrong. It should match your wardrobe. Here's how to find the right style for your career.

Despite most people's assumption, your hairstyle
should be a direct reflection of your lifestyle — not the number of
candles on your birthday cake. So, if you picked your own clothes this
morning, you've basically picked your haircut. Take a look at the
following options. Find the one that most resembles what you wear to
work and you'll find your appropriate haircut, along with tips on
maintenance, styling, and how much you can expect to pay your barber.
Your Style: Business (see: Cooper, A.)
Your Hairstyle: Groomed but not uptight.
Maintenance: Your hair should look squeaky clean, so use a lightweight shampoo every day. Style with a little bit of pomade, like Redken's Polish Up ($16). And if you're going gray, be sure to pick something opalescent. Anything with color will show on your hair.
Cut: Every three to four weeks, by an absolute professional. Scissors only.
Expense: $$$$
Your Style: Business Casual (see: Jackman, H.)
Your Hairstyle: Formal enough to belong in an office, stylish enough to fit in at a pub.
Maintenance: Wash every other day to let your natural oils help weigh your hair down. Something like Shu Uemura's Frame Wax ($30) will give you a little control without looking too shiny.
Cut: Every four to five weeks. There's art in a cut that looks as if you did it at home. Be ready to pay for it.
Expense: $$$
Your Style: Creative (see: Downey Jr., R.)
Your Hairstyle: Carefree-looking layers that actually took all morning.
Maintenance: Wash two or three times a week. (Just don’t let anyone touch it on that third day.) Work a little bit of styling cream , like John Allan’s Tough ($18), through your hair for volume and hold.
Cut: Every six to seven weeks. Your barber should be talented enough to layer your hair, but your styling can hide a mediocre haircut.
Expense: $$
Your Style: Artisinal (see: Worthington, S.)
Your Hairstyle: Simple, for fear of ridicule.
Maintenance: Wash daily, with a dual-purpose soap, like Woody’s Meat & Potatoes Bar ($16), that’ll also work on your body. If your hair looks puffy, try a gel like L’OrĂ©al Professionnel Homme Strong Hold ($16).
Cut: Every two weeks at, say, Supercuts. And remember: The less dented your head, the shorter you can go.
Expense: $
