Popular Short Haircuts 2020

Pixie Undercut

Sophisticated and elegant, a pixie undercut makes an eye-catching style statement. While closely trimmed at the back and sides, longer strands on top emphasize volume – perfect for oblong and oval faces seeking balance in proportions.

Textured Crop

Are you looking for something different with your short haircut? Consider adding texture with a textured crop. This retro-inspired style works exceptionally well on guys with wavy or curly locks.

High and Tight

The high and tight is a classic military-inspired cut for men with short hair. The low maintenance, hygienic shaved sides make upkeep easy, while its slightly longer top provides protection when wearing helmets. Furthermore, this style can easily be maintained using deep side parts and matte-textured pomade or clay products.

Slick Back

A slick back can be worn casually with jeans and a shirt or dressed up for formal events with a suit and tie. It complements any face shape perfectly and is an especially ideal style choice for men with thinned hair because the fade extends over the crown area.

Ivy League

A sleek bob can be either feminine or edgy depending on its texture, and adding some balayage highlights for an eye-catching style is sure to turn heads. Pair your sleek cut with feathered bangs to give it added movement and interest!

Layered Crop

A layered crop can be playful or sophisticated, like this example by stylist Julie Facer. The texturized layers add movement and volume while framing the face beautifully.

Blonde Pixie

Are you considering an upgrade for your blonde pixie? Give Kristen Stewart’s bold platinum shade a try; its striking appearance will stand out against its low-maintenance needs and busy lifestyles.

Peaky Blinder

Peaky Blinders has quickly established itself as one of the premier shows in Britain since debuting this year on season six, drawing fans comparable to Harry Potter or Disney movies. People don herringbone tweeds, flat caps, and collarless Henley shirts enthusiastically; indeed, some may wear these garments to an event! Peaky Blinder’s popularity led to a wave of merchandise sales, including beer bearing the show’s name and rising demand for herringbone tweeds and newsboy caps emblazoned with their imagery.

Side Part

For those not drawn to high fades and fade-to-the-side haircuts, the side part has experienced something of a revival. Though once considered uncool by Gen Z influencers on TikTok, trends come and go, and this one could stay around for quite some time. Add flair and dimension to any short hairstyle with this stunning twist, which looks particularly significant with wavy or curly strands.

Military Cut

This classic army haircut is ideal for men looking for an ultra-short style. Get your barber to shave down both the sides and back while leaving one inch of hair on top; an inch-wide chin stripe completes this military aesthetic, which pairs particularly well with solid jawlines and beards.

Comb-Over

This style works well with any hair texture, requiring little maintenance, and is ideal for men seeking an alternative look or wanting a more stylish aesthetic. Additionally, it complements facial hair beautifully. This unique style combines the traditional side part with a challenging position for added definition, creating an eye-catching combination from far away and sharp up close. For an unconventional take on this classic style, ask your barber to use a taper fade instead of a skin fade to achieve this look.

Textured Crop

This year has seen an apparent resurgence of crop haircuts, and for a good reason: They offer unparalleled versatility that complements almost all hair lengths and textures. The textured crop works beautifully with both fringes and quiff styles or can even be styled into a faux hawk for an edgier appearance. Additionally, this look can help men with thinning hair hide visible signs of hair loss by disguising its visible signs with this style. Pair a textured crop with fades, taper, or skin fades for an effortlessly dapper and stylish haircut that can easily be maintained through regular visits to your barber.
