Men’s haircuts may change more slowly than fashion trends, but a well-executed style can still be impactful. Here are some of the latest haircuts and styles popular among modern gents.
The Comb Over Haircut
The combover haircut is one of the chicest and most sophisticated hairstyles, quickly transitioning from the boardroom to the bar on Friday evening. Its versatility makes it suitable for virtually every facial structure.
The Slicked-Back Style
The slicked-back style also works well and can be tailored to meet individual preferences.
The Quiff
The quiff is one of the classic men’s hairstyles. It adds plenty of personality and character to any ensemble. This hairdo suits almost all face shapes, particularly round or square-shaped faces.
Styling the Quiff
If you prefer more formal looks, hair wax or pomade can help achieve an uncluttered and defined finish. Or go for an unruly version for an effortless style that looks more natural and carefree.
Use Premium hair Products
No matter which looks you opt for, use only premium hair paste or styling clay that provides flexible shaping capabilities without leaving you sticky or oily. High-quality hairspray will also keep your locks looking their best throughout the day.
The Faux Hawk
Men looking for an unconventional hairstyle should try the faux hawk. It features heavily feathered layers that create depth and thickness to the locks, perfect for adding an edgy-chic twist. The faux hawk works exceptionally well when combined with low fades and dark colors.
Styling the Faux Hawk
This classic variation on the mohawk haircut has long been associated with rock musicians such as David Beckham. It can also be worn for more refined occasions, provided its sides remain short. This style works best on square-shaped faces, accentuating the jawline and chin area. It can also be flattering for heart-shaped faces if the softly-textured crest of hair is kept flowing over the shoulders. However, people with diamond-shaped faces should avoid this style as it could make their foreheads appear too narrow.
The Bowl Cut
A bowl cut emphasizes the hair’s natural shine and offers many styling possibilities, from side parts to full fringes. Taper and fade options can create more contemporary looks.
The Angular Fringe
The angular fringe is another way to give a bowl cut some dimension. It is increasingly popular as an excellent way to show off highlights. This sleek and sophisticated silhouette appeals to many, and it can be modernized using gel or pomade for different looks.
Communication with the Stylist
If you are considering getting a bowl cut, your stylist must know exactly what look you are after. Please make sure they fully understand your desired look by explaining it carefully. Some stylists may need to be made aware of modern trends, so clear communication is essential.
The Comb Over
The combover is one of the trendiest haircuts for men, perfect for any look, from suits and ties to jeans and T-shirts. Its ease of styling means it works equally well with straight or curly hair. Use Dove Men Care Defining Pomade to keep strands in place.
Comb Over with Fades
While a fade addresses only the sides of your head, combovers focus more on the top portion. Paired with low or skin fades for added depth and character, this creates an eye-catching yet bright appearance without becoming stuffy.
Choosing the Right Comb Over
Wearing a comb over might be challenging for some, depending on their face shape. Oval and square-shaped faces tend to sport it better. Avoid any lengths that fall over the ears, as this softens features and creates an unflattering effect. Triangle-shaped faces should avoid high fades, as they will reveal their jawline more readily.
