If you’re opting for a short-side haircut, consider including a fringe. This will frame your face beautifully while looking fantastic when worn back or brushed forward using hair gel for a windblown effect. These styles work great for those with wavy or curly locks.
25 Great Examples of Men’s Short Sides Long Top Haircuts
Here are 25 great examples of men’s short-side long-top haircuts to inspire your next trip to the barbershop.
Fringe
Short-side haircuts provide a prime opportunity to showcase your individuality through the fringe, so use them to showcase your fashion sense! Make a complex part with a razor or use AXE Urban Messy Look: Flexible Paste for added texture and movement. Pair this look with an expertly groomed back or glorious beard for a timeless, sophisticated appearance.
Casual Side-Swept Part
An informal side-swept part is an everyday style that still frames your face and is ideal for men who keep their top hair longer. Use light pomade to style it up, or go natural for a windblown appearance. Add a hard side-swept pompadour to the mix if you want a more polished look. This hairstyle boasts a neatly combed hard side part, sharp mid-fade lines fading downward, and mint dye that screams fashion. To achieve this look, start with a cleanly cut crew cut or Ivy League haircut and use just a tiny amount of pomade to slick back the back section. Additionally, comb up the sides upward while playing around with different textures on top to achieve an eye-catching textured effect.
Textured Faux Hawk
If you need more time to prepare for a fierce mohawk haircut, this style can add texture to your short, top hair. The back and sides feature precise tapering, while the front features a thicker quiff styled with matte pomade or clay. Men can achieve a stylish yet modern hairstyle using quality gel or pomade. Keep your style sleek and fashionable using either of these products to keep it smooth. This short and textured faux hawk haircut effectively highlights the length of your curly or wavy locks on top, particularly if they’re curled or wavy. Pair this look with a low fade for an eye-catching summertime style perfect for any event – it even works well when paired with pompadours or other backcombed styles!
Along Quiff
A wavy quiff is one of the top short sides haircuts that lets you experiment with your hair texture, creating an ideal short sides look that combines rugged with sophisticated features. Pair this cut with casual mustaches and beards for an overall appearance of masculinity and elegance. A sharp burst fade with a medium crop is an innovative twist on the traditional quiff that looks modern while being understated – perfect for men with thick hair that tends to hold styles well. A low skin fade could be needed if you prefer a more subdued approach to a quiffsiss style that focuses on your top while offering more professional impressions than other short haircuts.
Cleanly-Cut
A classic short back and sides haircut look good on most face shapes; however, to pull it off successfully requires having thick enough locks. Combining high skin fade with a quiff, comb over, or mini pomp styling techniques will help thicken and volumize your locks for this style. This style is ideal if you want a stylish haircut that requires little maintenance. To keep your locks in peak condition, try CLEAR Cool Sport Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Men with Triple Anti-Dandruff Technology to avoid dandruff flakes. The high and tight is a military-inspired cut, making for an effortless style suitable for work or formal events such as weddings. Add some skin fade details for an eye-catching combination that makes a stylish statement wherever it takes place.
