It’s time to look at the popular hairstyles for men. Many of the cool, trendy men’s hairstyles of earlier years will likely carry over to the new year, meaning that the most popular haircuts will likely continue to be fades, undercuts, pompadours, comb overs, quiffs, slick backs, and even man buns or top knots, if you can pull them off.
More specifically, expect a lot of “short sides, long top” hairstyles which combine a low or high fade with texturized hair on top. Perfect example would be the disconnected undercut, modern pompadour, slick back fade or cropped hair, all of which are included below. However, be on the look out for longer styles that are worn textured and loose.
Looking around the fashion industry, here are the latest and most popular new hairstyles for guys.
Low Fade with Long Fringe - Longer styles has been a popular trend this year. This thick and textured fringe on top is coupled with a low taper fade on the sides for a stylish look. And with just enough length on top to let your hair become wavy, we highly recommend this cool men’s haircut for young guys!
High Fade with Fohawk and Design - There are endless variations of hair designs, but this one is paired with an awesome fade haircut. What makes the fade so cool is how versatile yet low maintenance it is. Whether you pick a high, mid, low, bald, or taper on the sides, a fade works well with any modern short cut for men.
High Fade with Loose Pompadour - Getting the pompadour haircut is easy, and requires only a good pair of clippers and 3 to 5 inches of hair on top. For the sides, guys can get a fade or undercut. Styling your pomp will require a quality pomade or wax, allowing you to add height and style. This pompadour incorporates a clean skin faded undercut and a full beard.
High Fade with Hard Part and Quiff - To get the quiff, you will need at least 3 inches of hair on top of your head. The sides will then be buzzed into a taper fade – how short is up to you. Guys have the option of a high, low, mid, or skin fade. For an extreme look, a very short clipper setting will create a lot of contrast, while those wanting a classic look can choose a gentler taper.
Long Messy Hair with Low Fade - This fresh low bald fade and line up balance the messy, textured hairstyle up top. By working a small amount of pomade into your hair, guys can create a natural look that stays in place all day.
Braided Razor Part with Pompadour - With enough length, any section of your hair can be braided. While braided hair is a unique style, it can add some flair. This pompadour combines high skin fade, thick razor par, and some braided hair.
Man Bun and Beard - The man bun’s popularity has slowly waned, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get the look if you have long hair. Paired with a beard, the man bun hairstyle looks masculine and strong.
High Bald Fade with Cropped Fringe - As one of the newest men’s haircuts to hit the scene, this cropped fringe features a high bald fade. Styled in a natural, textured way, this hairstyle is good for guys of any hair type, including fine or thin hair.
Short Sides with Medium Length Hair on Top - This low skin fade is combined with a spiky side swept fringe and short textured hair in the back. Coupled with a cool beard, this look will make the girls swoon.
Classic Short Hair with High Skin Fade and Crew Cut - The crew cut is another short hairstyle that’s stylish yet easy to maintain. The high skin fade and line up also make this a clean look.
Slicked Back Hair with Short Sides - The slick back has traditionally been a retro style, but the modern version works best worn loose and textured.
