Bro Flow Hairstyles
Bro flow hairstyles for men have become an increasingly popular option after frosted tips and Kurt Cobain-inspired grunge styles became trendy. This layered bob with back-swept fringe looks excellent when worn with beards, while being easy to maintain compared to other short male haircuts.
Textured Layers
Layered hair can make your locks appear thicker, especially if they have waves or curls. However, it’s important to remember that maintaining this style requires high-quality styling products and regular salon visits to look polished and healthy. Layering can add volume, lengthen a round face, and help slenderize it. Plus, this style works with all lengths and face shapes!
Fade Undercut
This style combines an undercut with a fade for a contemporary take on an undercut, perfect for guys with curly or wavy locks, and works for all hair textures. When selecting this cut, it is best to go for a mid or higher fade length. Discuss with your barber which fades height would work best with your facial structure and desired style. Consider pairing this look with a side-swept beard for an alluring masculine yet seductive aesthetic.
Bald Fade
Bald fades (also called skin fades) are an easy and creative way to highlight the contrast between dark hair and beard without taking all its length away in one big cut. A high bald fade also looks fantastic with complex parts for added edge and an eye-catching style statement. For an understated take on this trend, try opting for a medium bald fade that begins just above your ear and gradually lengthens as it progresses – this style makes a less striking statement when worn with a quiff on top.
Messy Layers
Unintentionally messy medium-length layered hair looks fantastic and rebellious, not to mention being an effective way to conceal a broad forehead with straight bangs and work well with any style and color combination. Long layers can be an ideal way to alleviate the weight of thicker locks while adding movement and body to both wavy or hyper-straight locks. Try pairing this style with vibrant pink hues for an appealing and playful aesthetic!
Platinum Under Lights
Men with thin or receding hairlines may benefit from opting for a layered haircut as it can mask imperfections while creating the appearance of fullness and volume. To add texture and dimension to a layered haircut, platinum blonde balayage can make for an eye-catching accent. Use a lightener on your face frame first for a longer lift, then tone with Illumina Color 10/69 1.9% for an intense platinum blonde finish.
Faux Hawk Fade
This style combines a faux hawk with a fade for an eye-catching, high-contrast look sure to turn heads. Perfect for men with textured hair, as it highlights its shape while remaining neat and tidy. For a more refined take, combine a faux hawk with a skin fade for an aesthetically pleasing style. After styling the top layer with non-greasy shine pomade, use some non-greasy shine pomade to style and secure hair in place.
Tousled Shag
Style long, tousled shags with a center part for an effortlessly stylish look that recalls Farrah Fawcett era glamour. Use a texturizing spray such as Ouidad’s Advanced Climate Control Heat
