With summer comes a fresh wave of stylish men’s haircuts to help showcase your personality with a modernized cut.
Medium Brush Up
The medium brush-up has quickly become one of the most sought-after men’s hairstyles for 2019. Ask your barber for shorter sides through the fade, taper, or undercut with a longer textured top styled upward with light products like clay or pomade.
Angular Fringe
The angular fringe haircut is an iconic style that adds texture and movement to your style. It pairs nicely with slicked-back hairstyles or hard-part combovers; it features longer sides that create an arc that frames your face and highlights eyebrows – perfect if you want a chic and rugged style!
Oval Face Shapes and Fringes
Oval face shapes make you adept at wearing almost any fringe style. Experiment with side-swept, long fringes for more formal occasions, and consider adding texturizing clay or pomade to add definition and dimension.
Messy Pompadour with Fade
Men with curly or straight hair can benefit from this versatile haircut. A modified pompadour features shorter sides and an extended top that can be styled into either an upward quiff or backward for a sleek back-slicked-back appearance. Low-taper fades are destined to become one of the hottest styles in 2019! Adding texture to this pompadour haircut adds extra dimension and character while giving it its distinct appearance that you can add to your style arsenal. This messy pompadour with fade adds a stylish element, channeling the rockabilly style made famous by stars such as Elvis Presley and Johnny Depp. Easy maintenance involves applying gel quickly once every couple of weeks, which is ideal for guys with textured hair.
Crew Cut
If messy styles aren’t your style and close-shorn buzz cuts are too extreme, the crew cut is an excellent alternative. This classic haircut looks sharp while remaining easy to style. This style features a short top with longer sides that can be styled into either pomps or faux hawks, using blind barber’s 90 Proof Pomade ($17). A small amount of texturizing pomade can create separation while adding matte or glossy effects – try Blind Barber’s 90 Proof Pomade for maximum effectiveness. For an informal take on the men’s crew cut, ask your barber to gently taper your sideburns while leaving longer top hair straight. It is an adaptable style suitable for nearly all face shapes but works particularly well on oval and round faces.
Burst Fade
A high burst fade haircut is a sophisticated and contemporary choice for men seeking an eye-catching, sleek look. This cut involves trimming an angled section of hair above and behind your ears before fading it to blend seamlessly with longer locks on either side of your head, creating an eye-catching style suitable for most facial shapes, beard types, and hair lengths. High burst fades are ideal for creating eye-catching looks at events. Pair one with a comb over, faux hawk, messy textured mohawk, or quiff for maximum impact on any occasion. Additionally, this hairstyle adds dimension and diversity without making the top too short.
Buzz Cut Lineup
Try opting Buzz cut for an Ivy League-inspired Caesar Crew Cut using a number 4 guard around the back and sides, or create more interest by dyeing your locks to add some flair. Dyeing will add even more character. Ask your barber to add a line to your taper fade for a modern take on the classic combover fade. This subtle contrast looks sharp and intelligent and works well with any length of facial hair. Complement it with a light-hold styling product for a clean, sleek finish.
