Derek Hough is showing off a great go-to hairstyle for your formal events. The shorter hair on the side helps to frame your frame and cause some volume on the top of your head. This hairstyle is ideal for someone who might have hair that is thinning out as the cut helps to create volume and the style brings focus to the top of your head and not the bottom. All you need to do is lift your hair from the roots to create the volume as well as style your hair so that it covers the patches that are thinning out.

The highlights help to lighten this hairstyle which look great with this 'do. You are going to need to cut your hair once every 4 weeks or so to ensure that the cut stays in shape. If you are going to do the highlights as well, you are going to need to touch up your highlights once every 6 weeks or so to ensure that your color stays vibrant and bright.

To tie this look together, you can have the same beard as Derek. Make sure that you keep your beard trimmed and styled to ensure that it matches the formal look of your new hairstyle.
