5 Common Hairstyles For Men

A pompadour

A pompadour is an iconic hairstyle dating back to the 1700s. Typically featuring long top hair combed back off the forehead, celebrities like Elvis also made this timeless look famous.

Disconnected undercut

Another famous men’s haircut is the disconnected undercut. This style entails a high fade that gradually transitions into a skin fade and can be worn with long or short top hairstyles.

The Crew Cut

The basic crew cut is an excellent way to keep hair short and professional-looking. This style features a neat fade on the sides and a small puff of hair at the top that can be styled into a quiff or pompadour for maximum effect.

Textured crew cut

A textured crew cut is another excellent choice for those seeking a stylish short hairstyle. This cut adds visual interest with its hard part in front, which can then be styled into a pompadour or bangs, depending on your preferences.

The Monk’s Cut

The monk’s cut is an easy, devout look that exudes spirituality and prayerfulness. To achieve it, shave off your top half, leaving a small circle around your forehead and temples as an indication.

The Military Cut

This basic cut, ideal for creating the soldier-inspired look, combines an inch-long quiff and smooth fade into one stylish style that can be easily maintained using strong hold gel to keep stiff lines. Updating the military cut with a high skin fade will add more contrast and modernize your appearance.

The Bob

The classic bob is an effective way to highlight your facial structure and emphasize the angles of the face. The classic bob provides a system ideal for acceptable hair types while accentuating curves on your features.

The Curtained Hairstyle

Men with curly hair can take the classic haircut one step further by creating a distinctive signature look through this technique. Curtain haircuts have become increasingly fashionable among young guys and millennials, especially men with thin or fine hair, providing a fuller appearance to light or fine locks.

The Two Buns

Basic cuts involve shortening the top layer with electric clippers and lengthening the hair on the back and sides to approximate shoulder length, creating what is known as a butch cut; this allows an approximation of a mohawk without shaving all of it off at once. This effortless style will instantly bring flirtatious charm and seduction to any look.

The Slick Back

The slick back is an effortlessly chic yet low-maintenance hairstyle. The smooth back style works exceptionally well when maintained regularly, ideal for any haircut style – particularly fade and undercut styles. Sonya suggests using Layrite Cement Clay or Superhold products, depending on what look you’re going for, to achieve the slick-back look.
