A classic side-part haircut always looks timeless and sophisticated when combined with a fade.
This hairstyle features an indented part line shaved into your locks, creating a distinct contrast between the top and sides of your locks. It requires using high-quality pomades such as Suavecito Original Hold and Layrite Original for optimal styling results.
The Classic
The classic side-part haircut is an eternal classic and versatile must-have. It’s ideal for anyone searching for a versatile look. You can wear it casually with jeans and a T-shirt or formally with a blazer and chinos for formal events. This style features a skin fade on both sides, with tapering that ends slightly higher than usual for an eye-catching appearance. The top hair is swept back over to one side and styled using a high-shine pomade for an impressive finish that exudes masculine elegance.
The Lineup
The lineup, or an edge up or shape up, involves having your barber create straight lines and sharp angles across your hairline and parting area. It’s a great way to add texture and character to a hard part haircut when combined with fades or taper treatments. This sleek lineup haircut is ideal for men with long hair who wish to express themselves through heavy parts and strong-hold gel or pomade for maximum masculine style. Pair this look with an upstyle that features spikes for the ultimate masculine style!
The Side-Up
A side-up style can be the ideal compromise between formal and casual settings for men who wish to straddle both realms of fashion. Be sure to use water-based pomade so your locks remain in place throughout the day. A classic side part is an elegant, timeless style suitable for any event or special occasion. To achieve it, apply a small amount of pomade or clay to towel-dried hair before combing through with your fingers.
The Side-Swept
Nothing says modern and sophisticated, like pairing a side-swept hairstyle with an edgy fade. This look works best on guys with medium-length locks; however, shorter styles also work. It’s perfect for formal events and standing out from the crowd! Get a high fade on both sides and comb your top hair to one side to achieve this look. Add glossing pomade for a glossy shine or matte texture for a more natural-looking hairstyle.
The Pompadour
This classic pomp hairstyle, popularized by men such as Elvis Presley, combines short sides and fades with long locks at the top that can either be slicked back or swept upwards for maximum impact. Add a ginger hue to your pomp to give it an elegant yet chic retro look, and the lineup brings trendiness.
The Puff
Selma Blair shows us that puff hairstyles can look chic at formal events. Use gel on the back hair to achieve the look, and style the top section into a low puff ponytail. Backcombed and sprayed into place, shorter strands can be styled into a puff shape resembling a beehive for an authentic Sixties aesthetic. For something a bit different, add a curly bang for an extra edge!
The Quiff
Few men’s hairstyles have had as profound an effect as the quiff, which brings an instantly modern aesthetic to any ensemble—originating with pompadour styles popularized by wrong boy style icons like Elvis and James Dean in the 1950s. A disconnected quiff works well on shorter hair, featuring a distinct top with immaculately tapered sides. If this look is your goal, try adding texture throughout your hair length before spraying with firm-hold hairspray for added hold.
The Backcomb
Backcombing (also known as teasing) may get the reputation for creating an unruly mess of locks, but with the proper technique, it can create modern and subtly seductive styles. With a regular comb with fine teeth, comb down through thin sections of hair towards your scalp until volume builds up. Please repeat this step to add specific styles like those worn by Robert Smith of The Cure or Russell Brand, and Amy Winehouse, who wore her backcombed locks in an iconic beehive style.
