Top 10 Men’s Haircuts

An excellent haircut is one of the critical components of any man’s wardrobe, not only as an investment but also as an asset. Before heading into any barbershop, it’s wise to know precisely what style of haircut or hairstyle you desire. Luckily, an impressive array of men’s hairstyles is available that can help ensure you look your best.

Back and Sides

As its name implies, this haircut features long hair on top that is scissor cut while its sides are trimmed using a number 2 guard (1/4 inch). This authentic 2 length haircut should be secured or slicked back using pomade for an aesthetically masculine finish that works well with or without beards. The hair on top can be styled in many ways, from pompadour, quiff, and French crop styles to being pulled forward into a faux hawk spike style or left uncombed for Mafia-esque styles. As with other numbered haircuts, 2 on the side cuts expose more scalp than different types do and therefore require regular upkeep such as shampooing and conditioning the locks as well as regularly refining lengths to avoid becoming too long and unruly, especially true if worn under or without beards!

Pompadour

A pompadour is an iconic style, providing the weight and volume necessary to stand out. It is ideal for men with receding hairlines, strong jawlines, or round cheeks. Thick hair lends itself well to creating the classic pompadour look, as its easy shape can be achieved with more pomade. Styling thin locks into pomps may require additional time and effort, but it can still look great. If you want to add a modern edge, try opting for a low taper fade on the sides and ears instead of full bearding – this can help make your pomp appear cleaner and more professional. Straight pomps can be an elegant look for guys looking for a sophisticated alternative to going too short up top. Easy to manage and slick back with some pomade, these styles don’t get messy as quickly if paired with hair gel to stiffen and stiffen up their locks before heading out the door.

Fade

A faded haircut creates a stylish and structured appearance by shaving the sides and back of your head while keeping more length on top. Choose between low, mid, or high skin fade styles depending on your taste and hair texture – this style works particularly well for men wanting a modern and sophisticated look with thin hair or as an alternative to full bald fades. A complex part fade is an ideal style for a casual yet more modern appearance. This haircut leaves a clean line around your ears and works well when added as an undercut styling option – creating a subtle contrast between facial hair and short cuts on either side of your head.
