As a highly regarded barber, it’s my job to not only create stylish looks but also to guide my clients through their hairstyle options. Men’s hair has come a long way and there are now a variety of trendy styles to choose from. In this article, I’ll provide you with the top ten men’s hairstyles and some tips on how to style them and examples of the different styles should you request a specific hairstyle.
Whether you’re a creative type, a business professional, or just a guy who wants to look stylish and confident, choosing the right hairstyle is essential. With so many options to choose from, deciding what hairstyle to go with can be dependent on a number of different factors so I’m here to help. I’ve worked with some well-known celebrities and sports personalities but mostly everyday people who want to look a cut above the rest!
1. The Classic Side Part
The classic side part is a timeless look that will always be in style. To style this look, ask your barber to create a deep side part and leave one side with more hair than the other. Use a pomade or wax to slick back the hair on the side with less hair and provide volume to the side with more hair. This style works great for those with wavy hair or those who prefer a more polished look.
2. The Quiff
The quiff is a sleek and modern style that has been trending for a while now. To achieve this look, apply a strong hold pomade to the top of your hair and comb it straight back. Then, use a hair dryer and a brush to push the hair up and back into a voluminous style. This look works great for those with thick and straight hair.
3. The Buzz Cut
If you’re looking for a low maintenance option, a buzz cut is the perfect choice. With one length all around, there’s no need for any styling. The only thing to keep in mind is the length of the buzz cut. If you have a rounder head, go for a shorter length, while those with a more elongated head shape can opt for a longer cut.
4. The Slick Back
The slick back is a classic that has made a comeback in the last few years. It’s easy to achieve – just apply a strong hold pomade to your hair and comb it straight back. This style works best for those with thick, straight hair. It’s perfect for a formal event or even for an everyday look.
5. The Undercut
The undercut is a trendy and popular hairstyle amongst men. To achieve this look, keep the hair on the top long and use a clipper to cut the hair on the sides and back short. To style, apply some hair pomade, comb the hair on top back and let it fall into place naturally. This look works great for those with an oval face shape.
6. The French Crop
The French crop is great for those who want to keep their hair short but want a little variation. To achieve this look, keep the hair on top short and textured, while keeping the sides and back shorter. Use some hair wax to style the top in a messy way and create a textured finish. This style is great for those with thicker hair and prefers low maintenance styling.
7. The Modern Pompadour
The modern pompadour is a contemporary twist on a classic look. To style, keep the hair on top long and use a clipper to cut the sides and back short. Apply a strong hold pomade or moulding clay to the hair on top, and blow-dry it up and back. To finish, use a little pomade to create more texture and volume. This style works best for those with thick hair.
8. The Faux Hawk
The Faux Hawk is an edgy and modern men’s hairstyle. This style features a buzzed back and sides, with medium to long length on the top. To style the faux hawk, first use a razor or clippers to create the desired shape and buzz the back and sides. Next, add a styling product to the top sections to create texture and definition. Finally, use your comb or fingers to sweep the hair in one direction.
9. The Fade
The fade hairstyle for men is a popular and stylish haircut that features a gradual transition from short to long hair, with a tight taper at the sides and back of the head. The hair is usually cut shorter at the bottom and gradually gets longer as it moves up the head. The fade can be done with different lengths and styles, including a low fade, mid-fade, or high fade, depending on the person’s preference. This trendy haircut is versatile and works well with various hair types, including curly, straight, and wavy hair.
10. The Crew Cut
The crew cut hairstyle for men is a classic, short haircut that features hair that is cut short on the sides and back while being slightly longer on the top. The hair is usually styled up for a clean, sharp look. This versatile haircut can be adapted to suit different hair types, lengths, and textures, making it an ideal choice for many men. With a crew cut, men can enjoy a low-maintenance hairstyle that is both timeless and easy to style.
As always, be sure to talk to an experienced barber about your desired look. I will be able to provide you with advice on which style will work best for your hair type, face shape and lifestyle.
When it comes to styling, there are a few tricks to keep in mind. Always start with clean and dry hair. If you’re using any kind of product, start with a small amount and work it into the roots first, then distribute it evenly. Use a comb or brush to distribute the product evenly and style as desired. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different looks and find the one that suits you best.
