American Psycho's Patrick Bateman is the personification of 1980s excess. His mannerisms and outlook are so outrageous that they almost seem mocking. Even his hairstyle is extreme: it has a wave at the front and a sort of sleek back. We advise having your hair cut by a skilled barber or stylist who is experienced with short hair if you want to get an edgy appearance like this one. The appearance that Tom Cruise sported in Top Gun is strikingly similar to Bateman's haircut. It's a highly popular haircut for men who want to be fashionable and manly at the same time, and it looks well on thick hair with some structure like Tom has done in this look.
Keep your beard tidy and short if you plan to include it in your appearance as well. When you think your beard is getting too long, it's best to shave it. Use an aftershave balm to maintain your hair smooth and to keep your skin clear and healthy.

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.
To blow-dry the top section back you will need to take your brush and firstly make sure that the section is no wider than the diameter of the brush. Next, place your brush on top of your head and under your section. Using your blow-dryer on a medium setting, blow-dry your hair from the roots, slowly lifting your hair up and working your way to the ends. Make sure to keep the blow-dryer in front of the brush at all times. Continue this step until the top section is completely dry.
Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.
Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
