Curly hair on men can make for an eye-catching style statement. Invest in a shampoo without sulfates to nourish and condition your curls properly to achieve it.
High Pompadour with Christ-shaped tuft
Curly hair works wonderfully for high pompadours that require natural volume and texture, such as this style, which adds an eye-catching Christ-shaped tuft on top for added eye appeal.
Fade Haircut
A fade haircut is an effective way to keep your locks short without making them unmanageably fast while still being versatile enough for styling curls however you please. Additionally, this look looks incredible with beards!
The fade haircut emerged in military and black barber shops before becoming widely recognized through Will Smith on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in the 90s. Now widely accepted and versatile among men of all backgrounds, its popularity can be found anywhere from military barber shops to Hollywood stars like Will Smith. Before getting it cut, you should discuss with your barber what height of fade you would prefer.
The ideal style is a low-to-mid fade haircut if you have curly hair. This will accentuate your curls while making them appear more masculine; it is straightforward to maintain. Just use medium-hold styling gel or hairspray so your loops stay put!
Faux Hawk
This relaxed faux hawk hairstyle is perfect for men looking to add an eye-catching, one-of-a-kind style. Combining elements from fohawk and pompadour styles with high skin fade sides, its top section is pulled back into a dome shape before finishing with some pomade, gel, or wax for extra style points.
This haircut is especially suitable for men with curly locks, as it allows them to highlight their natural texture while keeping its shape. Furthermore, this versatile hairstyle works for casual events and formal affairs.
Julianne Hough Inspired Punk-Style
Julianne Hough rocked this punk-inspired style at the 70th Golden Globe Awards. To recreate this look, start by misting your locks with texturizer spray and rubbing in some pomade. Next, separate the middle section using your fingers, creating a piecey texture. Tease roots while simultaneously raking them back into position before finishing it all off with some hair spray and ready yourself for success with your new style!
Modern Mullet
Whether you want to recreate Billy Ray Cyrus’ “achy breaky heart” look or Joe Dirt’s mullet-and-sideburns combination, modern mullets effectively show your rebellious nature. Particularly popular among punk communities, mullets help highlight the difference between your short sides and long tops.
Curly hair is ideal for creating this style because its natural volume softens the transition from longer to shorter lengths. Try bleaching it for a striking contrast to stand out and make your mullet!
Another variation on the modern mullet haircut, known as the Kentucky waterfall haircut, adds extra length to your back. However, styling this style requires quite a bit of fashion bravery, but the results of your efforts may prove worthwhile; remember to wear your hair up or behind your ears to not obscure your front.
Side Part Crop
Men with longer locks can achieve a sophisticated and dapper appearance if they choose this look. Combining the sleekness of a fade with long hair on top that can be styled into quiffs or combed across the forehead creates an appealing yet youthful aesthetic. Furthermore, this style can be secured using hair wax or misted with hair spray for optimal results.
Curly or wavy hair can be challenging to manage without proper care, but it can be ordered through good haircutting. A taper fade is an effective solution to help remove some weight for a clean cut that can be styled using gel or wax into an elegant-looking combover.
If you prefer wearing your curls short but aren’t quite ready to rock a full faux hawk look, ask your barber or stylist to cut a modern take on the classic crop with low fade and chill taper techniques that keep sides and back shorter while leaving plenty of length on top – guaranteed to turn heads and turn up stylishness!
