If you’re considering going short, consult a professional stylist first for advice that fits your face shape and hair texture to achieve optimal results. Doing this will guarantee the most desirable outcomes while preventing nasty chops from happening.
A Textured Pixie Cut
A textured pixie cut can be either curly or wavy, with minimal styling needed, making it the ideal option for those with afro-textured hair.
The French Crop
The classic French crop is an excellent option for anyone seeking an effortless alternative to more high-maintenance styles like pompadours and quiffs while still looking stylish. This cut can quickly adapt to fit any face shape while being suitable for all hair types.
Style Description
This look features short sides and back hair with a medium fringe that can be worn straight or combed over one side for a classic yet modern feel. To amp up the chicness, ask for your fringe to be longer than usual with added texture for added flair!
Make sure you bring along some photos as reference material so that your barber understands exactly the look you are going for and knows exactly how long the top should remain uncut. This will allow them to accomplish the look more effectively and deliver what is promised.
The Butch Cut
A butch cut is a short haircut with even length throughout the head, often found among athletes and military men, that features short length all over. It can be worn in various styles.
This style is also great for those who are looking to add some personality and flare to their look, with designs shaved into the hair making an impressive statement and creating an eye-catching butch haircut.
This type of cut is easy to manage and needs minimal styling products; however, if you want some added shine, tryy adding butch wax as a final step.
The Taper Fade
The taper fade haircut is an adaptable style that can range from bold and daring to demure and subdued, depending on your desired aesthetic. In essence, it resembles an upgraded short back and sides haircut featuring gradually decreasing hair length.
Your rate of hair thinning depends entirely on you and your barber; to determine what suits you best, show them a picture of what look you prefer.
This style can work with any short haircut, but is especially effective with quiff or slick back styles. Additionally, this approach is great for guys with thick facial hair that must be controlled.
The High and Tight
The high and tight is an effective option for men who don’t have time to style their hair each morning, providing a quick solution that fits most face shapes but may not suit coiled or kinky locks. It features a low skin fade with an easily-brushed-back strip of hair on top for creating a clean, professional appearance. This cut may only work for some face shapes.
Variations on the traditional high and tight include leaving some length on top, which can be styled into something similar to a quiff or mini pomp for added dimension and depth. This unique buzz-cut style remains neat yet dynamic at once!
The Messy Look
Certain hairstyles take time and effort to perfect, while messy looks are surprisingly straightforward to pull off when done correctly. Messy styles exude confidence while exuding nonchalant ease – this style works exceptionally well on men with thick or curly locks.
Create this sexy yet casually cool look by applying pomade or gel to your strands and tousling them into an adorable tussled style with some pomade or gel. Or, for something even more casual and effortlessly cool, try sweeping your strands off your strands off your forehead and letting them cascade backward across your cheekbones, leaving tendrils hanging freely along either side of your face for an easier-going vibe.
The Comb Over
A comb-over may have earned its unfavorable reputation due to its association with certain former presidents. Still, it’s back thanks to a revival in classic men’s style from the ’60s and numerous celebrities rocking bold parts in this short haircut style. Combining it with a low fade makes for an attractive yet classy combination that remains contemporary and classic.
Maintaining this cut is straightforward: trim it every four weeks to maintain its sleek, polished look and tidy.
The Quiff
Quiffs can help lengthen a round face. Combed upward or backward, this style can create volume and shape while being styled slick over with pomade for a sleek finish.
The quiff first emerged during the 1950s as a modification to pompadour and military crew cuts, popularized by rock ‘n’ roll icons Dean Martin and Elvis.
If you’re considering changing your short hairstyle, speak to a stylist or barber to help determine which cut will suit your face shape and lifestyle best. Be sure to bring photographs as references.
