Long, curly hairstyles for guys require effort and time, but when done right, they look striking and trendy. This hairstyle combines two popular trends – the mullet and mohawk. Featuring a fade around the ears and length on top for an eye-catching finish, this look works best with men with either curly or wavy locks.
Taper Fade Blowout
The taper fade is ideal for highlighting your natural hair texture while creating a timeless style. Perfect for men who wish to keep their curly locks long while enjoying ease in styling without needing a full beard, this style gives men freedom in choosing how they style them without the added burden of facial hair.
Natural Pompadour
The textured relaxed pompadour is an effective way to display natural curls. This version of the classic pompadour combines a fade with curly locks, allowing the top layers to grow longer while seamlessly integrating them with beard growth. This style works best on men with naturally back-flowing growth patterns and full top heads of hair, who don’t mind spending an extra minute in the morning to style their locks each morning.
Low Taper Fade
Low taper fades for curly hair are an ideal way to emphasize its natural texture and shorter sections on the sides, while creating contrast with thicker curls and fuller ones. They also work well if your scalp needs attention drawn away from it. This style offers a refreshing take on the classic comb-over, and slick back look, featuring longer top layers for an eye-catching pompadour shape and low taper fade, with short sides kept short of forming an outline around the ears and curly top pieces standing boldly.
Mullet with Beard
The mullet is an increasingly fashionable hairstyle, which combines short sides with long and curly top hair for an eye-catching combination. For a more sophisticated aesthetic, this look can be worn casually or dressed up by adding facial hair, such as a beard or mustache.
Undercut
The undercut is an iconic cut for men with curly, thicker-than-straight hair that stands out. This style showcases your bangs while adding an eye-catching flair. Additionally, the undercut works particularly well when worn by those with full-face shapes, as it reduces their forehead height.
Spiky Pompadour with Low Taper Fade
A combination of spiky pompadour and low taper fade haircuts is an effective way to showcase your rugged aesthetic. Though somewhat messy in its execution, this look still looks sharp when using styling gel for sleeking down hair. This style blends brutal punk aesthetics with soft, bouncy curls for an iconic rock aesthetic. Pair it with a beard for added masculine charm; this look works exceptionally well on men with more round faces who wish to keep their locks long.
Middle Part
Middle partings may have a reputation for emphasizing symmetry and leaving no room to cover up flaws in your face, yet Gen Z seems to prefer them as an effortless style choice. They love slicking their locks back into a sleek bun or clipping it up casually for an informal finish. Curly hair textures benefit greatly from having a middle part as it helps enhance their natural movement, creating an elegant finish.
Faded Style with Side-Swept Bang
Another excellent way to rock a middle part is with a faded style, like this low bald fade with a side-swept bang. This look combines trendy and classic characteristics for an eye-catching finish that works with any dress style.
