It's time to reveal the secrets behind these two hairstyles. Today, the focus is on hair! Gracie Opulanza is your guide to the world of luxury men's grooming. No matter what anyone says, opulence is not just for women. If you are a man, then you should get on board and look fabulous!

Let's begin with the wet, slick look. Think Leonardo DiCaprio's style in The Great Gatsby. Then we'll delve into the bedhead, that "I-just-rolled-out-of-bed-but-I'm-still-irresistible" style that's got a little rockstar, a little "I don't care," but let's be real, it's all calculated. Both styles have charisma and say a lot about the man wearing them. Do you consider yourself a smooth operator, or a laid-back rebel. You can be both with the right products, and some confidence. Let's get started.

Slick Wet look: The Gatsby Experience

The slick, wet look. Doesn't this look classy? Imagine wearing an Italian suit with a glass champagne and a tailored Italian suit. This is the hairstyle for the man that knows how to be in charge, whether he's walking into a meeting or closing a deal. You know what type of man this is: perfectly polished, with not a single hair out-of-place.

The hair product is the first step in achieving this look. Gel or pomade with strong hold and shine is what you need. Don't skimp on the product. More product is better! You want to appear as if you have just emerged from a downpour, but in the most chic way possible. It's important to part your hair to one side. Leonardo DiCaprio is the perfect person to channel. Not in his Titanic days but as Jay Gatsby - that mysterious millionaire with the freshly pressed look. Let the world know that you are serious by slicking it back.

Let me tell you that I love the drama and sexiness this hairstyle creates. This is the type of hairstyle that would be perfect for a red-carpet event or a business lunch. It's classic yet modern. A bit like an old Rolls-Royce, but with a new electric engine. It's the juxtaposition of old world charm and new world efficiency that I love! This would be the look I'd choose if I were a guy for a night out at the opera, or even casually attending a yacht party. Who says that you can't enjoy a bit of opulence every day?

Bedhead: The Rock & Roll Rebel

Let's now switch to the bedhead style. The bedhead look is like a neat whiskey, on the rocks. This is the hairstyle of the man who does not follow the rules, but still looks dangerously good. Adam Levine's charm and rebellious attitude are the perfect example. It's a bit rough around the corners, but that is the point.

Texture is key to achieving the perfect bedhead. Remember, this is not your military fade. This is rockstar-style hair. Texturizing powders and sprays will be your best friends. Schwarzkopf "Dust It" is a great product. Sprinkle a bit at the roots, and then massage through. It gives you that matte finish without gloss, and adds the perfect hold. It's important to look as if you haven't done anything, but in fact you've spent 15 minutes to perfect your hair. Ironic, right?
