Men with long hair can wear a side part for an elegant, refined look. Though this requires patience and skill, the end result will be an eye-catching side-swept quiff with a faded undercut. Don Draper from Mad Men popularized this style, making it timeless and sophisticated. Additionally, it highlights height and dimension – perfect for men with curly or wavy locks!
Classic Side Part
The Classic Side Part is an adaptable style for casual or formal events. To elevate its elegance further, add other types like Quiff or Pompadour with high hold pomade for additional refinement. This haircut is ideal for men looking for a sleek and sophisticated look, featuring either a skin fade, or low shadow fade for an eye-catching accent. You are also referred to as a businessman’s haircut or traditional side part. To ensure you receive precisely the style and cut you desire, show a picture to your barber or stylist, and they will ensure everything goes as smoothly.
Lopsided Fringe
Men who want to add texture to their look may prefer a lopsided fringe as an effective solution. Unlike its full counterpart, this style doesn’t cover the entire forehead and instead has shorter sections towards the back for easier styling. This style is ideal for balancing out a fade haircut with long side-swept bangs, featuring both a textured top and a clean fade haircut. This combination creates an appealing, modern, and refined balance; its shaved hard part adds visual interest and intrigue. No matter the product chosen – wax, clay, or pomade – this hairstyle provides a quick and effortless way to achieve that side-swept look. Just rub the product between your palms before combing through your locks.
Low Fade
The low-skin fade haircut is an elegant style for men with long hair. This subtle yet sleek style can be worn in many different ways and looks fantastic with quiffs to elongate their faces or can add style to an otherwise uninspiring crew cut. A low taper fade hairstyle begins at an upper-ear level. It gradually reduces in length until it blends with skin color, offering men a practical yet fashionable style suitable for office work environments. This cut can create an eye-catching, professional, and sophisticated appearance that can easily make an impression at interviews or business meetings.
Slicked Over
Add retro flair to your look with this style, featuring a classic side part with a slicked-back finish for maximum visual impact. Wear this with gel or use clay or pomade to create texture; this hairstyle makes a lasting impression no matter where or when worn – make sure you use quality hairspray to ensure ongoing success! Longer hair can also benefit from having a hard side part for a more defined style.
Classic Afro
When growing out your afro, parting it on one side effectively defines its shape and creates a professional appearance for work or evening events. Furthermore, this helps prevent your afro from becoming flat and droopy – remember, a small amount of hairspray may help hold it all in place! Soft side parts make an excellent casual style statement. They appear more relaxed than complex side parts and work well on shoulder-length natural curls. Run your fingers through your hair while applying hairspray regularly throughout the day to keep the style in place.
Skin Fade
The skin fade is an effortless way to express yourself with a unique side part. Your barber will shave down almost all the hair at the nape of your neck and head to contrast this shorter mop on top and its lengthier roots below. Perfect for any special event or casual gatherings with all hair textures – keep this style looking authentic by adding matte pomade and styling gel for consistency – the skin fade is also ideal for men who desire a clean yet bold style.
