" Here&amp;#039;s something we noticed just in time for the Democratic National Convention: One of the most trusted names in liberal-leaning news has some pretty great hair. We&amp;#039;re talking about Jon Stewart, obviously, whose style crosses the aisle in some ways: It&amp;#039;s traditional yet progressive, smart but also a little sporty. &amp;quot;This is not your Sam Donaldson newscaster hair,&amp;quot; says Elle Medico, men&amp;#039;s stylist at Paul Labrecque Salon in New York. &amp;quot;Nor is it your typical funnyman cut either. It&amp;#039;s actually just a great look for a professional guy who wants a longer, more versatile cut.&amp;quot; Especially if you&amp;#039;ve got fine, medium, wavy, or even straight hair. To get the look, ask your stylist to keep long layers on top (about three inches) and then ensure it gets shorter on the back and sides, to about one inch. If it&amp;#039;s too tightly tapered, the style completely changes. It&amp;#039;s also not going to work well on coarse, curly, thick, or noticeably thinning hair. Sorry. Stewart&amp;#039;s style looks best on round and oval faces. Tread carefully if you&amp;#039;ve got a square or narrow face, as the length could make your face look too long. To push it into professional mode, comb back with some Aveda Pure-formance firm hold gel ($22) while it&amp;#039;s wet. If you want, finish with a light hairspray to keep it in place. You can also keep it casual by running some Kiehl&amp;#039;s Cream with Silk Groom for Men ($30) through when its still damp, then letting it dry. One warning, though: It&amp;#039;s still on you to keep everyone in the room laughing. This is part of a new series where we help you steal the best haircuts of our time.
