The Most Popular Men’s Haircuts of 2018

The Comb Over

The comb-over is a practical haircut suitable for men of all ages. A classic, versatile style that looks great with fades, it can also be worn spiky or straight back, depending on personal preference.

The Skin Fade Crop

The skin fade crop is a contemporary hairstyle with rugged appeal. The style features a long top and short sides that can be styled either textured with texturizing pomade or smoothed back using high-shine gel for an informal or formal appearance; the style features long top pieces with short sides for styling flexibility.

Swept Back Haircut

Men’s hair trends are veering from short styles to longer ones that create a lived-in aesthetic. We are seeing an array of haircuts for men this year, including side-swept styles, Caesar cuts, and slick back locks.

Middle Part Fade with Low Taper

If you’re searching for an eye-catching modern style that can be styled to either the side or back, a middle part fade with low taper is needed to give you that sleek and contemporary feel. Worn by celebs such as Arthur Shelby from Peaky Blinders and Brad Pitt in Fury, this men’s haircut has quickly become one of the hottest looks around.

Loose Sweep Back Over a Mid Fade

Another popular style is a loose sweep back over a mid-fade. This haircut is easy to style and pairs beautifully with beards; use some form of wax or pomade to give the hair structure and shine. If you have long locks, ask your barber to cut them this way for an adaptable and polished finish.

The Quiff

Quiffs are an eye-catching style worn casually or dressed up and look good on all faces. Round faces may find it harder to elongate their features with this hairstyle; to achieve maximum height and body, try opting for an alternate hairstyle, such as side parts.

The Fade

A faded haircut features a short back and sides, with longer locks styled into a sweeping fringe at the top. This bold yet edgy style creates an eye-catching, stylish, and versatile look suited for men of any hair length, though commonly associated with those sporting short locks.

The Caesar Cut

Atop the 2022 men’s haircut trend is the Caesar cut. This low-maintenance style combines elements from pompadour and quiff styles with tapered sides and horizontal bangs for an eye-catching yet low-maintenance style, perfect for thick hairlines and robust features.

Varieties of Fade Haircuts

There are various styles of fade haircuts, from low skin-tight fades that almost approach baldness to high fades that reach French crop territory. The latter option often works better on men with shorter locks because it requires time and precision to create an even, skin-tight taper around their heads.

The Comb Over

Though often dismissed as uncool for those with thin hair, the comb-over has grown dramatically in recent years due to the ’60s revival and celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo sporting bold parts. This versatile haircut may remain fashionable thanks to these factors and others.

Creating an Elegant and Professional Appearance

Try opting for a brushed-back textured low fade to create an elegant and professional appearance. This mid-length style provides plenty of flexibility between slicked-back and pompadour types – enabling you to change your look depending on the ambiance or occasion. Pair this look with a beard for a more rugged charm or a sharply styled mustache for classic sophistication.
