Men’s haircuts can be an expressive way to showcase your individuality. However, only some styles may be appropriate for workplaces or special occasionss. If you want a stylish yet professional hairstyle to try, consider the faux hawk hairstyle. This variant of mohawk has shorter sides shaved or cropped closely while longer locks remain on top.
Buzz Cut
Men who want to look dapper without spending too much time styling their hair should opt for a buzz cut. The ultra-masculine style suits many different face shapes while making thinning hair appear less noticeable. Jared Leto, Kanye West, and Zac Efron all sport this look. It pairs nicely with an Ivy League undercut or faux hawk and will complement most beard styles. However, if your hair is very thick, it may look out of proportion – avoid kinds close to your scalp, as this may cause flaky or red skin issues.
Ivy League
The Ivy League consists of eight schools located in the northeastern US (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, and University of Pennsylvania) known for their academic renown. Each year tens of thousands of applicants vie for admission – so before considering attending any Ivy, it is wise to do your research first and understand that just being an Ivy doesn’t guarantee it’s right for you – There are various factors such as learning environment reputation, academic reputation, extracurricular opportunities that need to be considered before making your decision.
Comb Over
The classic comb-over is an ever-classic style that suits many hair colors and textures. Typically shorter on the sides and longer in the back, this timeless style can be styled either to one side or combed upward to create a pompadour effect. While combovers are usually associated with men with sleek, straight locks, they can also work well for those with wavy or curly locks; ensure that a smoothing pomade or gel is used to keep it in place. This look combines the comb over with a fade to create a classic and professional style, perfect for business settings.
Medium-Length Shag
Medium shags are great for all hair types but are especially suitable for curlier or wavy textures. Their layered cut helps define curls without looking choppy or unruly. One potential drawback to a shag haircut is its potential to look like a mullet when cut too short, so to prevent this look, it is recommended that extra layers be added, or you use volumizing mousse throughout the day to hold your locks in place. Add bangs and medium shag to create a soft and romantic look, or opt for a more rocker 70s vibe by leaving face-framing wisps slightly shorter in the center.
Afro
The Afro is an attractive hairstyle for men with long locks. This look is versatile enough to suit casual and formal events and works particularly well if they possess an oval or square facial structure. Afro curls add an air of audacity and femininity to any ensemble and pair beautifully with natural colors. Furthermore, this style requires minimal upkeep.
Man Bun
Men who sport man buns often pair them with fashionable clothing or other accessories to complete the look. It is an effortless hairstyle that adds an edgy edge to their ensemble and looks dapper, adding dapperness and character. Man buns often get an unfavorable reputation, but it can be the ideal style choice for men with long locks. This particular hairdo requires plenty of length and patience. Before wearing a man bun, your hair must be in excellent condition; keep the sides short and sleek for optimal results.
Medium Curls
Medium-haired men with natural waves can achieve an effortlessly dapper yet relaxed style by embracing them and wearing loose braids that reach their collarbones paired with bandanas for vintage flair. This look works especially well on round or oval face shapes and suits men from 20-50. Use styling mousse to tame your waves and add definition for a tailored look. This result can easily transition from casual and relaxed to sophisticated and professional looks and pairs well with styles like fade haircut, comb over, slicked back undercut, and faux hawk styles.
