Turkish men. Photos, what they are like, appearance, models

Turkish men are easily recognizable due to their unique appearance and style. Their distinctive appearance and sense of style stem from their deep cultural heritage and fusion of Eastern and Western elements.

Turkish men are renowned for maintaining a clean, polished look, which extends from their customary grooming practices to contemporary attire. Many have striking facial features, thick hair, and a distinct sense of style that embodies both masculinity and elegance.

Turkish male models have drawn attention from all over the world recently for their diverse range of looks, which span from tough to sophisticated. They are well-liked not only in Turkey but also on international catwalks thanks to their charm and self-assurance.

Features of appearance

Anthropologists attribute Turkish men’s vivid, striking, and alluring appearance to their membership in the Near Asian branch of the Balkan-Caucasian racial group, which is a subset of the larger European race.

Its defining characteristics include the following:

• a wide rounded skull and a face with large, memorable features;
• dark hair;
• brown or green eyes;
• a nose with a convex hump;
• strong growth of a beard and secondary hair.

Despite this, scientists claim that it is impossible to discuss the anthropological homogeneity of Turkey’s population because of the continuous mingling of Ottoman Empire residents with members of other peoples and ethnic groups throughout the empire’s history.

For instance, the Meskhetian Turks are descended from Georgian regions that were once a part of the Ottoman Empire. As a result, men with prominent facial features, thick secondary facial hair, blue-black hair, large lips, and a large nose have become common among the nation’s current residents.

Anthropologists claim that the Ottoman Empire’s aggressive actions, which extended over several centuries to include modern-day Greece and the Balkans, also account for the prevalence of men with traditional European facial features, blue or gray eyes, and blond or red hair among Turkey’s population today.

The Ottomans, who conducted frequent bandit raids, captured women from the conquered peoples, including the Slavs, Georgians, Armenians, and Greeks. As a result, the genotypes of both the common people and the empire’s rulers were constantly changing.

The Janissaries, Christian children taken from their parents and given as tribute to the Ottomans, were largely responsible for the spread of blue eyes among the modern male population of Turkey. These boys were mostly fair-haired, gray-eyed, and blue-eyed.

Due to the blending of Western Asian and European types, modern Turkish men have a mixed appearance.

The majority of them differ by:

• dark skin;
• dark brown, black straight or curly hair;
• dark brown or green eyes.

Fair-haired and red-haired people also exist. Men have large, expressive features on their faces, including full lips and a straight nose with a distinctive hump. The range of heights is 173–190 cm.

Dark hair, well-groomed beards, and sharp facial features are common characteristics of Turkish men, who are recognized for their unique and captivating appearance. Many Turkish models have become well-known worldwide for their distinctive appearances, and they take pride in their ability to combine traditional and modern fashion influences. Turkish men embrace a wide range of styles that reflect both their rich cultural heritage and current trends, from smart suits to casual streetwear.

Haircuts

Turkish men take great pride in their appearance, and having a trendy haircut is a need for a put together, fashionable look.

Boys are instilled with good hair hygiene from an early age, emphasizing the need for thorough washing and product styling.

Turkish men are known for their early onset of gray hair and propensity for hair loss, which forces them to use hair dyes to cover up gray hair or turn to a hair transplant procedure that is common in Turkey.

For 3,000 Turkish Lira, you can get it done at any cosmetology clinic in Istanbul, Ankara, and other cities.

Beard styling

The active growth of secondary vegetation on the face and body is a characteristic common to Turkish men.

The hard, dark hair of the mustache and beard is preferred to be cared for in salons, where stylists use specialized products to style the hair, give it the desired shape, and tint it if needed.

To nourish and soften hard hair, special oils are also used in beard care.

Men who like their faces smooth use razors, even the dangerous ones. Turks can grow a coarse, three-day stubble because they only shave once every two to three days.

Style and personal care

Turkish men prefer to dress in the business or casual styles that are popular in the USA and Europe, rather than following fashion trends. When they visit the office, they wear shirts, pants, and business suits (if there is a dress code).

They dress in jeans, T-shirts, and breeches when they’re not working. Going to public places in shorts is not a good idea. Only on the beach are Turkish citizens permitted to wear clothing above the knee.

Turkish men also give particular consideration to:

• Eyebrow shaping procedure, for which a thread technique is used, helping to give the brow ridges the necessary shape and remove excess hair.
• Body depilation, removing secondary hair with sugar paste, wax or laser. A trimmer is also used to combat excess hair, which also helps to trim your mustache, eyebrows, sideburns yourself.

• Facial care, with the help of nourishing and moisturizing creams, masks. Turkish beauty salons also offer special care programs for men, including facial cleansing and massage.
• Perfumery, using sweet, spicy, musky aromas of both national companies and popular international brands Boss, Paco Rabanne to complement the image.
