The Buzz Cut
The traditional buzz cut is a short hairdo that features short-length clips across the entire head. It is popular among military personnel and often worn with skin fades on the back and sides. This look works for men of any face shape, especially those with receding hairlines. Nick Jonas showcases an updated buzz cut featuring longer top layers and tapered sides with straight taper. It is completed by his signature short beard trim. Razor-shaving an L-shaped part line on the forehead gives this style an eye-catching edge, making it the ideal way to add distinction and drama to an otherwise subtle appearance. It is a unique take on the classic buzz cut that pairs well with beards or tuxedos!
The Pompadour
The Pompadour is a timeless style perfect for formal or casual events. Traditionally, it involves slicking back the top layer and sweeping to one side for traditional settings. It may feature any combination of these techniques in casual environments to suit personal style preferences. The Pompadour works best for men with straight locks, but it can also work on those with curlier or wavy hair types if maintained regularly at barber shops. This impressive slicked-back Pompadour is quite captivating with its pushed-back fluff and taper fade on the sides. Pair this style with a beard for an eye-catching appearance that exaggerates recesses or deep jawlines yet remains sophisticated. A pompadour works for many facial structures but tends to accentuate certain features more pronouncedly than others.
The Taper
A taper fade is an increasingly popular style that gradually reduces hair length around the back and sides of your head, creating contrast and playing up proportions. Curlier locks often benefit from this look as it adds subtle definition. For an updated and trendy style with this signature look, pairing a side-swept pompadour with a low taper fade for added purpose while significantly cutting down styling time and grooming product needs. A high taper fade is an elegant way to add dimension and depth to any style while still leaving an unbroken graduation to the skin. The effect creates an angular effect as frontal weight increases while back weight decreases for an eye-catching style that looks refined yet dapper. Pair this style with a Caesar crop for the entire bright effect.
The Mohawk
Mohawks are an eye-catching hairstyle ideal for men looking to stand out from the pack. This mohawk may not be as dramatic as others on our list, but its contrast between short sides and longer tops still creates an eye-catching style. Plus, this gentleman sports an individualistic spiky mohawk featuring a shaved peak on his nape to complete its uniqueness! Don’t let a mohawk intimidate you if you have curly hair! This gent’s scruffy, messy mohawk pairs short ringlet curls with a spiky top that flows down his nape for an easy-to-maintain style that is entirely his.
The Long Top with Short Back and Sides
This style is ideal for men looking for an eye-catching yet dapper appearance. Featuring a long top combed over and gelled into a classic pompadour shape with loose pieces falling free, this look can show off thicker locks with plenty of volume while providing ample opportunity for beard or mustache wearers. Skin fade or taper fade on the sides will add contrast and make this style stand out. It is an excellent choice for men seeking an updated, sophisticated, and masculine appearance that still looks good for any event. This haircut is easy to maintain and style into multiple looks.
