Men looking their best should keep up with the latest trends in hairstyles. Some excellent ideas can be customized to any style – especially those with fine or thin locks.
Spikes: Spikes can look stunning when properly styled. A textured quiff works particularly well when worn this way and can easily be managed using styling products.
Mohawk: As popularized by punks and rockers, this daring hairstyle offers men a bold way to stand out. To achieve it, grow your top section to 4 or 6 inches before getting it sheared short on both sides and shaving your back and neckline to create an undercut style that supports a a more extended top team. Finally, sweep hair away from the face with the product for added volume.
Faux Hawk Fade: Opt for a faux hawk fades for a less intense take on the mohawk instead of cutting all sides short. This style still creates an eye-catching contrast between your long top and short sides; however, the difference may be less extreme. This hairstyle works exceptionally well on men with shorter locks since they will still have plenty of lengths to work with daily.
Fringe and Layers: Fringe length can depend on your hair thickness and how naturally it falls, with Avan Jogia’s tousled strands looking like he just woke up! A light wax or texture spray is critical in creating this style for added piece-y movement in Avan’s look. Rupert Grint’s floppy fringe is an easy and low-maintenance way to frame his face and add height. To further simplify matters, ask your barber to leave out sideburns and fades and instead create long locks with a textured finish – it will look just like Rupert! Drake’s fringe is a modern take on the faux hawk, featuring perfectly shaped and layered layers that create an entire hairline and complement his unique facial structure. For similar results, use volumizing mousse or styling cream to give your locks more lift while maintaining that layered effect.
Pompadour with Beard: A classic pompadour styled with a beard can set you apart in style. For men with straight locks, adding texture on top adds visual interest while the lower skin fade and neat line up of sides gives this classic pomp an updated look. Full pomps with complex parts are great hairstyles for men who like a clean and tidy appearance. This look requires a tight skin fade and plenty of length on top, making this style great for thicker strands of hair. A full pomp with a hard part can also be an alternative to today’s messy fauxhawk trend; beards complete this cut.
Tricky Part: A hard part is an iconic hairstyle for men that exudes classic sophistication. Usually found as a medium-length haircut that deviates from its shorter-haired, slicked-back counterpart, this look features an elegant low taper fade on both sides. At the same time, its top layer pushes into an eye-catching pompadour style that exudes class. A timeless classic haircut that has long been beloved, this style makes you appear sophisticated, mature, and confident. Inspired by Don Draper himself, its tight side-parted quiff conveys an imposing yet professional aesthetic that stands the test of time. Wear this look with a high skin fade for maximum effect; add texture with pomade for a strong hold if necessary.
Medium Curls: Men with medium hair can take advantage of the same styling options available to those with longer locks. For instance, this layered look features a loose fringe and low taper fade that accentuates their mane above it. This style works exceptionally well on men with wavy or curly textures; it can easily be pulled back or into a quiff. If a pompadour or faux hawk is too aggressive for your tastes, try this more subdued variation of this popular trend. This cut emphasizes the natural volume and texture of your hair while being simple to add product through. Plus, it works great for beard wearers – its combination of hard side parting with short sides frames your face perfectly!
