Men with long hair have plenty of creative styling options for their style. There’s so much variety, ranging from classic side sweeps and mohawks to masculine Dutch braids!
In 2020, mullets, curtains, and faux hawks will remain popular haircut styles for men. These trendy looks allow men to express their individuality through their hair and have fun while showing it.
Undercut Taper Fade
A taper fade haircut can add an elegant, modern touch to any hairstyle and be styled in various ways. Try styling it as a hard part, slicked back, or even a ponytail man bun for an eye-catching chic look; alternatively, you could opt for a lineup or shaved fade for more customized results.
Low taper fades are another popular style choice, offering a more subdued contrast between your head’s top and sides. A low fade can add edge to comb-over or quiff hairstyles as well as spice up your crew cut with its taper fade feature.
Men with longer hair may benefit from styling their locks in a brushed-up style with a hard fade to show them off at their best. Add medium-shine pomade for an even greater impact – perfect for work and social occasions alike.
Modern Faux Hawk
Modern faux hawks are an excellent choice for men looking for something stylish but short while maintaining some edge. They pair perfectly with any style of clothing and look great both casually and formally.
Faux hawks can add significant volume and texture to the top of your head, creating an engaging style. Beards should also be kept well-groomed if worn as part of this look; make sure they look neat and professional for the best results.
A classic hairstyle for creating a faux hawk, the high fade works particularly well when the top of your head features medium-sized spiky hairs that make the fake hawk shape. Coats can be styled either straight or wavy for an eye-catching effect, and it really draws the eye to this stunning style.
Try the mid-fade with a comb-over hairstyle if you prefer more subdued faux hawk styles. This hairstyle looks less aggressive while still looking sophisticated and dapper.
Curtains
One of the most iconic men’s haircut trends from the ’90s, known as the curtain-style hairstyle, has made its comeback and is currently dominating salons. This look features an eclectic combination of short and long strands styled into a strong middle part to resemble curtains – an effect particularly suitable for medium to longer locks.
Layered haircuts are perfect for those with naturally wavy or curly locks and can be enhanced using texturing paste for maximum impact. A soft fringe frames the face beautifully while balancing rounder facial structures.
Popularized during the ’90s by grunge bands and Hollywood celebrities like Leonardo Di Caprio, this textured haircut can be styled to either shorten for a sharply defined appearance or leave longer for more volume. When combined with an undercut taper fade, it makes an especially striking combination, while you can wear this style either neat or messy depending on your desired finish.
Fringe
Although choppy fringe has earned itself a negative connotation since its introduction during the emo hair days of the 1980s and new romantic waves in the 2000s, it can look quite remarkable when styled correctly. Straight hair types benefit significantly from styling their bangs with sea salt spray before before blow drying, adding a piece-y texture for easy movement with a surfer aesthetic.
If you have longer hair, an updated faux hawk is easy to achieve by simply letting the sides and back of your head grow out to match its length. A few quick blow-dries and light coats of matte pomade or hair gel will finish this style off perfectly for this unique, sleek look that is especially ideal for longer lengths with natural textures like long or thick locks.
