Men’s haircuts no longer include only basic buzz cuts; there is now an array of different styles available from classic pompadour cuts to sleek business shark looks. This style of haircut features a full-volume top with short, buzzed sides and back. This versatile style can be combined with either a high or low fade.
Pompadour
Pompadour is a timeless men’s hairstyle made famous by rock icon Elvis Presley, featuring both modern taper fade and traditional pomp elements for an appealing dapper style that adds some rock n’ roll flare into everyday wardrobe. The pompadour requires some density in their follicular mass to achieve its shape, making it more suitable for men with thick or medium length hair, though thin locks may work if supplemented with high-quality pomade. When worn correctly and given the appropriate haircut, this style can be extremely flattering for most face shapes and bone structures.
Quiff
A quiff is one of the most adaptable men’s hairstyles around, offering anyone looking dapper an instant way to stand out. Channel Elvis or Don Draper for maximum impact; adjust this style according to your personal style and facial structure. Styling requires strong-hold pomade to achieve rigidity and height, with extra shine provided by using some wax for smoothing out flyaway hairs or adding shine. Before trying this look, be sure to wash and towel dry your hair first; having natural texture on top is best as this will give the best foundation.
Caesar
A Caesar haircut is ideal for almost every face shape and pairs well with beards. This modern take on the classic style is further distinguished by a faded side detail to accentuate its unique character. This version of the Caesar haircut is perfect for those with textured hair, as it highlights their natural texture. To give an edge and depth to this style, use matte dust or clay for some added flair and grit. Bleaching your hair before getting a Caesar cut can also give it a unique touch. Style the top section in a messy manner while being careful not to look disorganized.
Comb-Over
Comb over fade haircuts often get the bad rep of hiding bald spots, but this timeless style can actually help men with thinned-out locks maintain their masculinity while maintaining their style. Wear this look on an evening out or business meeting and be sure to use holding gel for added hold! This low comb over fade stands out when combined with a hard part and line up. This style works best on guys with straight or wavy hair, though you could add extra shine with some pomade or putty for extra effect.
Bald Fade
Tight afro curls paired with a bald fade can create an eye-catching style, but to ensure this style remains chic as well as daring, make sure to use a texturizing pomade. For an elegant take on the bald fade style, opt for this mid-skin fade. Starting higher up the sides than its low counterparts, it draws all attention towards a brushed-up pompadour sitting above. This cut is ideal for men looking to update a timeless throwback look with modern edge.
Box Braids
Although waist-grazing box braids may have made waves recently on Instagram feeds, this protective style dates back thousands of years to African tribes – and is still going strong today! A skilled braiding technician should take great care in installing your braids loosely and in such a manner that does not cause excessive tension on either your scalp or hair, which could result in abrasions. Therefore, it’s wise to conduct an interview prior to scheduling an appointment for braiding services. Experiment with unique accessories like cuffs and beads to personalize the appearance of your braids – and don’t forget to moisturize!
