H a i r s t y l e s f o r M e n : Tr e n d i n g
in 2023
As world trends evolve and change, so do men's
hairstyles! In Asian countries, having an incredible
haircut makes a man feel confident – and GATSBY,
one of Asia’s most popular and trusted brands in
the men’s cosmetics industry, understands this
very well…

GATSBY diligently monitors men's hair trends,

carefully examining what's trending in Asia,
Europe, and the United States. Incredibly, they
have been tracking market changes for a long time!
The information gathered is used to craft tailored,
luxurious (but still manly) hair care products that
the modern man can enjoy.

This year, GATSBY expects to see a return of the

mullet, curtain bangs, crop cuts, bowl cuts, curls,
and ultra-short barber styles that serve as toned-
down, more casual versions of classic styles from
decades passed. This year, sea salt texturizing
products will work very well for naturalistic styles, a
combination that men (and women) will love.

Here are 71 hairstyles that the marketing team at

GATSBY predicts will be big hits in 2023.

M o d ern M ulle t - Popula r f r om 2022

In 2023, we expect to see the comeback of this

2000s wolf-like hairstyle. The modern mullet differs
from the classic mullet when you consider
technicalities. The term “modern mullet” is much
broader—it includes all mullet hairstyles widely
adopted today, the modern era. It includes short
and curtain mullet hair and women's mullet
hairstyles.

You can expect plenty of modern mullet variations

on both men and women in Asia this year.

Center Part Mullet, Curtain Mullet, Leaf

Cut

Recognizable by its long, parted bangs that

resemble a leaf motif, the leaf cut was popular in
Korea last year and has grown in popularity across
China and East Asia. It's a versatile look you can
tweak to match whatever look you want to achieve,
and it suits many face shapes.

Sh or t Mul l e t

Also called the "Fade Mullet" and the "Barber

Mullet," this is a mullet style in which the collar is
only slightly longer than it would be if the wearer
had the ever-popular fade cut. The overall length
of this mullet is pretty short, making it business
appropriate and easy to style.

Me di um M u l l e t

The medium mullet has a specific length at the

collar and on the top and sides of the head.
Because of this medium-long length, the medium
mullet is particularly popular with men passionate
about fashion. You can style it in various ways,
including curtain bangs.

Wa v y /C ur ly Mulle t

The wavy/curly mullet is just as versatile as the

medium mullet. Style it with tight or loose curls,
both of which will give the style a distinct look.
Tight curls give the style a Western feel, while
loose curls give more of the traditional loose mullet
that Asian men have loved the past few years. You
can achieve this mullet with naturally curly or wavy
hair or hair styled with hot styling tools beforehand.

Very Short Barber

Coming out of the years of COVID lockdown and

working from home, the very short barber style is
easy to adopt and take from the home office to the
corporate office. Unlike the old barber styles, the
very short style features a natural texture and
shine instead of the ultra-glossy shine that typically
comes from the product.

Ivy League Cut

The short barber style and its variations – including

the ivy league cut- are expected to make their way
around Asian countries within the next few months.
The ivy league cut looks similar to the crew cut.

Flat Cut

The flat cut's most distinctive feature is the stylish

straight silhouette created on the head's top and
back. The flat cut is sometimes called the
"chicoryander cut" in many Asian countries. It
became quite a hot topic after many actors in
Korean dramas sported it, and it is a style that
suits working professionals and students alike.

Neo Buzz Cut

Slightly longer buzz cuts are trending in the US,

Europe, China, and Korea – and the neo buzz cut
is no exception. Many famous soccer players who
participated in the Qatar World Cup have adopted
this short style and spread it onto the street-style
scene.

Perm, C ur ly Hair

Curly perm hairstyles are an excellent way for men

to break free of the monotony of COVID-era
hairstyles. They manifest longing for release from
the restrictions of lockdown. It’s a very appealing
trend, especially when you add silky curls to a
comma or curtain style that is being grown out.

Curly Undercut

The curly undercut has a distinct ridge, making it

stand out from other short styles. The idea of
adding extra dimension to hairstyles popped up
during COVID when the only thing visible to others
was a man's hair. Some adopters of the curly
undercut include numerous players of the World
Cup.

Curly Medium Mullet

The curly medium mullet is a variation of the

modern mullet that uses a curly texture. While it's
safe to assume that medium mullets will be
increasing in popularity this year, we expect curly
medium mullets to explode in Europe, the US, and
East Asia, where salon technology has
dramatically advanced over the past few years.

Korean Perm, Mash Perm

In addition to the mash style popular in East Asia

and Korea, the Korean perm is a short-medium
length hairstyle that works with both wavy and
curly hair. You can also pair it with fades and other
short-sided styles. Sea salt spray is a useful
addition to this style, as it gives the hair added
volume.

Curtain Bangs Popular from 2022

Curtain hair was a hit in 2022, and this year, in

2023, it's continuing to be a trend. Not only is the
popularity of curtain hair continuing to hold, but it
also seems to be increasing.

S- S haped C u r t a i n

The S-Shaped curtain hair is very similar to the

standard curtain hair except that the S-shape
variation sees the hair of the fringe bending
inwards once and flipping back out at the ends,
forming an S shape instead of the classic C shape.
We recommend hard spray or sea salt spray to
style the gentle curves of this style.

Curly Curtain

Men with naturally curly and permed hair can rock

this hairstyle easily, as it complements this hair
texture fantastically. It requires minimal effort and
works with long or short hair. In addition, you can
wear it regardless of how curly your hair is. If your
hair is longer on the sides and back, your overall
hairstyle will look more relaxed and casual, while if
your hair is shorter, it will look professional,
mature, and more suitable for the office. Curly
curtain hair can help a man achieve a "grunge"
look with sea salt spray.

Me di um / Lo n g C u r t a i n

Medium/long curtain hair is another variation of

curtain hair that can take on a "grunge"
appearance. This style was trendy in the 90s – a
decade that saw rock stars adopting the trend. It
can be worn with wavy, curly, straight hair, left
natural, or styled with sea salt sprays for extra
texture.

Medium/long curtain hair grew in popularity

organically during the lockdown, as men visited the
salon less often and favored wearing their hair
longer for convenience.

Comma - Popular from 2022

The comma hairstyle is a medium-length curtain

style in which the fringe is styled towards the face
to resemble a comma (“,”). The comma is popular
with Korean pop artists and celebrities. It is
versatile enough to be worn regardless of hair
texture.

Me ssy Com m a - P o p u l a r f ro m 2 0 2 2

The messy comma effortlessly combines K-pop and

chic style. It's ideal for men with medium to long
hair and those with thick, voluptuous hair. The hair
should generally be tousled and unkept to achieve
a messy comma. Still, the fringe should always curl
inward, like in other comma variations.

Crop Cut

Crop cuts are classified by their slightly longer tops

and substantially shorter sides. The extended top
portion of crop cuts can be curly, straight, or wavy
and combined with other styles, such as fades.

2 Block Haircut/Modern Bowl Cut

Also known as the 'Korean mash,' the modern bowl

cut is a modernized version of the traditional,
natural bowl cut. It has a straight horizontal angle
that connects the sides of the cut to the fringe in
the front. You can do several fun things to achieve
this style, including combining a short bowl cut with
a fade. As you can see from the photo, this style is
simple, easy to achieve, and works great with
color.

Did any of the 17 hairstyles above help you find
your next look? If not, don't worry! To help you find
the best style for your hair, we've compiled men's
classic hairstyles below that will remain popular
throughout 2023.

Short Hairstyles for Men

Short hairstyles can go from simple, low-key cuts
to longer, more striking hairstyles. They're
generally also one of the most accessible types of
haircuts to work with, but you'll need to frequent
your local barbershop if you're looking to keep up
with the look.

Sh o rt Quiff Ha ir sty les

The quiff is one of today’s most popular trending
hairstyles — especially among teens and young
adult men. It’s a safe pick for anyone looking for a
cool hairstyle.

Te x tur e d Quiff Moha wk

“Quiff” refers to hairstyles that combine different

aspects of various older hairstyles. It often features
aspects of both the flattop and pompadour of the
1950s and/or the mohawk. It effectively takes the
best aspects of these styles and combines them,
transforming them into something new entirely.

When you have a quiff style, its shape is very

important. That’s why it’s necessary to have a
variety of styling products on hand — especially if
you like to be active or spend time outdoors. It’s a
fairly demanding shortcut, but it’s well worth it if
you ask us.

Sh or t Cur l y Q u i f f

An alternative to the regular quiff, the short curly

quiff does more in terms of offering a natural-
looking quiff cut. It uses the curliness and messy
nature of one’s own hair and doesn’t rely so
heavily on hair products.

Low U n d e r c u t Hairstyles
Quiffs are good hairstyles for men who want to try
going short, however, they aren’t the shortest
styles on the market. There are, in fact, plenty of
styles that are even shorter and that require very
minimal effort to look good.

These styles have an undercut, which is a type of

buzz cut that is done on the sides and back of the
head. Today, we’re talking about low undercuts,
which aren’t as neat and tidy as middle or high
fades but are simpler and more natural in
appearance.

Low Fade & Hard Part

If you’re looking to stand out without using your

hair, opt for a hard part. As its name suggests, this
parting method involves parting the hair at the side
and top. Often, the hard part is paired with the low
fade, which has the sides and back of the hair
fading towards the edges of the hairline. This gives
the hard part the space it needs to stand out and
give you a classy, modern hairstyle.

Sh or t Cur l y H a i r c u t & L o w Dro p F a d e

An awesome cut to add to the list if you have curly

hair, this hairstyle focuses on looking neat and
polished. It might sound like a challenge, but this
style manages to pull it off quite successfully.

Curly hair is best left curly, and as such, you’ll

want to complement it with a natural style. Straight,
low fades don’t do the trick — they don’t blend well
enough with the curls at the top of the head so
drop fades are used instead. By fading behind the
ears, this style gives off a natural vibe that pairs
well with the curls.

M i d -F ad e Ha ir cuts
Mid-fades are fades that aren’t too small to be
considered a low fade and aren’t too big to be
called a high fade. They’re the perfect mid-range
option for someone who can’t decide which kind of
fade he wants. They’re also less severe than the
high fade but still offer a neat, polished finish that
those very fades are known for.

Sh or t Text u r e d Q u i f f & M i d F a d e

We’ve already gone over quiff haircuts, but they

weren’t combined with mid fades, like in this style.
Quiff haircuts are incredibly versatile, as they can
look rugged and manly or neat and tidy depending
on how they’re combed or styled.

H i g h a n d Ti g h t F a d e H a i r c u t s
The high fade is a guaranteed standout, because
the exposure of the scalp makes it hard not to look
at it. If fades could talk, the high fade would be the
loudest. But that's not all it does — with little to no
hair on the sides, the high fade helps focus
people's attention on your eyebrows and facial
hair.

H i g h Te m p F a d e & S h o r t S p i k e d Wa v y
Hair

Looking to add some extra edge to your style?

Look no further than a spiked hairstyle. At first
glance, spiked short hair might look like a quiff or a
fauxhawk, but there is a difference – and that is
how the hair is positioned. Spiky hair is styled
upwards, giving it the name “spiked hair”.

If you choose to adopt this style, we recommend

using a gel, wax or pomade for the best results.
You’ll need something firm enough to hold the
spikes all day, and, luckily, any of these products
will do just that.

M o h awk Ha ir sty les

Mohawks have long been the staple of boy bands,
rockstars, and men who pride themselves on
looking cool. Typically, the mohawk hairstyle has
both sides of the head shaven or very short, with a
strip of hair down the centre of the head that is
long and styled into spikes.

Nowadays, the modern mohawk is often curly,

wavy, tousled, or purposely made to be more
messy and natural.

Sh or t Moh a w k & F a d e

You know what the mohawk is and likely know a

thing or two about fading as well, but have you
heard of the mohawk fade? If not, you’re missing
out! This short style provides you with all the things
you love about the mohawk and all the most
popular aspects of the fades that everyone wants.

This style is easy to maintain and can be

customized to suit your unique likes and dislikes,
as well as your chosen profession.

Sh or t & S p i k e d M o h a w k

If you aren't sure what to get at all, then try going

for a short and spiked mohawk look. It's not too
bold, not too low-key, is relatively low-
maintenance, and can even be styled into other
hairstyles when grown out thanks to the top not
being much longer than the sides.

Faux Hawk

If you’re not a fan of the bold statement that the

mohawk makes but still enjoy the general premise
of the look, there is a more low-key, relaxed
alternative that could work for you. It’s known as
the faux hawk, which is a less defined version of
the mohawk.

Sp i ky Moh a w k

The spiky mohawk follows closely in the footsteps

of the classic mohawk, but it has a more modern
appeal. First of all, it looks much neater due to the
way that it’s styled. It also tends to be thicker than
the classic, punk-rock mohawks we’re used to
seeing, which gives the hair more volume.

High Fade Mohawk

A combination of the mohawk and the ever-stylish

high fade, the fade mohawk is gaining popularity
with both young and old generations. The mohawk
can be any length, which is what makes it such a
great option. In this style, however, the fade is
high, meaning it follows a clean, straight line as it
goes back from the forehead, becoming shorter as
it moves towards the back of the neck.

Sh o rt C om b-ov er Ha ir st yl es
Short comb-overs were designed to be paired with
a tailored suit, some nice shoes, and a day at the
office. The short-comb over never goes out of style
and has been in fashion since it first became
popular.

Classic Short Comb-over

One of the cleanest, most polished styles on this

list, the classic short comb-over has us thinking of
a child having his hair styled for his class photo or
piano recital. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the
comb-over is childish – in fact, we’d argue that it’s
a very classy, manly style, as many CEOs and
important businessmen can be seen rocking it.

Crew Cut Hairstyles with High Fade,

& Full Beard

Crew Cut, High Fade & Full Beard

Are you proud of your beard? Are you looking to

have it stand out? Then this is the hairstyle for you.
The crew cut has been and will likely always be a
simple style that’s ideal when paired with facial
hair that you’re looking to draw attention to.

When you add a high fade to the look, your beard

turns into the centre of attention.

Side S w ep t C r e w C u t

This is a great example of how a small adjustment

can mean all the difference when you think of
popular haircuts. The side-swept crew cut is a
modification of the classic crew cut, with the only
adjustment being that the hair is swept to the side.
Voila!

Buzz Cut Hairstyles

Popular among athletes, buzz cuts are shorter than
the crop, their distant cousin. They are often paired
with side fades.

Buzz Cut Fade

A simple style that looks great on almost anyone,

the buzz cut fade uses the classic structure of the
buzz cut and transforms it. It’s made more eye-
catching by the addition of a fade that starts at the
length of the buzz cut and gets shorter as it moves
towards the top of the head.

Buzz Cut with Beard

A buzz cut and beard pairing are bound to get you

some extra attention – there’s just something about
this style that boosts a man’s masculinity and gives
off an air of toughness.

Pairing a buzz cut with a beard is a simple

hairstyle trick that should be kept in mind.

Other Short Hairstyles for Men

Haven't found any short hairstyles that you like
yet? Fear not, we have a few more options that
don't really fall under any category so far but are
stylish enough to be featured here.

Sh or t P omp a d o u r

Named after a mistress of a former king of France,

the pompadour is now used to refer to a men's
hairstyle that's similar to a comb-over, only that
this time the hair is combed backward rather than
to the side.

As a side note, pompadours are just as versatile as

comb-overs. They're great when combined with
different fade lengths and even side parts. Just be
sure to use the right pomade or wax if you're
planning on getting this hairstyle as some may find
that their hair returns to its natural shape after a
while.

Flat Top

If you've played any of the Street Fighter games,

you probably recognize this haircut from the
character Guile. The flat top is a particular type of
hairstyle that gets its name from the flat shape of
the hair on top. Flat tops can be short, medium, or
long, depending on personal preference and how
well the hair can be held up with gel or pomade.

C u r l y F l a t To p

While the flat top is usually associated with straight

hair, curly flat tops are its own thing. Often not as
long as a straight flat top, a curly flat top shapes
the curls of the hair as flatly as possible.

What's cool about curly flat tops is that they can

look very different, depending on the type of curly
hair. Frizzy, curly hair (the kind that you'd see in
afros) can seem more voluminous. Meanwhile, the
wavier variants of curly hair look messier than the
average flat top.

Sh o rt Mes sy and Fr ench Cr op

In 2023, we’re still expecting to see short styles.
More specifically, short hairstyles are slowly
gaining popularity as the virus settles down, both
because the frequency of haircuts will increase
(some men just want to say goodbye to their long
hair) and because many men want to play with
their hairstyle. In the same vein, they may also
want to grow out their self-done short haircuts just
a bit, transforming their buzz cut or crew cuts into
a short messy or crop style.

Sh or t Mes s y

Short messy hairstyles are easy to pull off and can

be very versatile, making them a good choice for
men who work in a variety of sectors and hold
various jobs. Short messy styles can be paired with
other styles such as fades and beards. These
styles can be worn wavy, curly, or straight, and can
be cut very short or a little longer so that hair falls
onto the forehead.

Short messy hairstyles can do wonders for one’s

appearance when paired with tailored clothing or a
personal aesthetic. For example, when paired with
leather jackets, studded shoes, and bold
sunglasses, short messy hairstyles make the
wearer look like a rockstar.

Me ssy Cr o p p e d To p & L o w F a d e -
Po pul ar fro m 2 0 2 2

For those looking for a messier hairstyle that

involves low fades, there are few better options
than the messy cropped top. Cropped tops are
hairstyles that, as the name suggests, crop the top
part of the hair while cutting the back and sides,
usually in the form of a fade. Cropped tops are
typically paired with middle or high fades, but low
fades work just as well.

Low fades look best with cropped tops when

they're messy. Messy cropped tops aren't well-
suited with the neatness of high and middle fades,
which is why they work so well with low fades. If
you'd rather have a neater cropped haircut, you
may want to go for a middle or high fade instead.

French Crop - Popular from 2022

The French crop isn’t for everyone. It’s an

interesting mix of a traditional cropped cut and a
short-to-long fringe. The top of the French crop is
more voluminous than its most similar cousin, the
buzz cut. Admittedly, French crops are hard to pull
off, so before committing to one it’s important to
know that you’re a good candidate or, at least, be
aware that the French crop is a risk.

Te x tur e d C r op Top Fa de - Popula r fr om

2022

Since the crop is such a standout hairstyle as it is,

it’s seriously no wonder that adding a textured top
and a fade make this style go from 10 to 100 on
the style scale. The textured crop top fade haircut
is a careful combination of a traditional crop and a
high fade. The style gets its name from the fact
that the fade is so high that it almost seems to be a
‘top fade’.

With this hairstyle, the voluminous portion of the

hair is textured; it might be spiky, curly or wavy,
which gives the haircut an added boost of
dimension and intrigue.

Sc i ssor Cro p & M i d F a d e - Po p u la r f ro m

2022

The scissor crop and mid fade are similar to the

messy cropped top, but this time with a mid fade
instead of a low undercut. This hairstyle uses a
scissor crop on the top of your head, which is a
variation of the crop haircut. As the name
suggests, the scissor crop involves the use of
scissors instead of shavers to get the job done.

Combine the scissor crop with a mid fade, and

you've got yourself a neat-looking hairstyle, which
is perfect for men who are a little insecure about
their forehead size. Don't worry, we’ve got you.

Icy Cold Young French Crop & Highlights

- P opul ar f r o m 2 0 2 2

Not happy with the Crop hairstyles above? If you

really want to stand out, this playful variation of the
crop hairstyle should do the trick. French crops are
already standout material, and with some extra
highlights, you'll be looking younger and more
colourful than usual. You can even take it one step
further and dye your hair before adding highlights.

Medium-Length Hairstyles
for Men
For a lot of men, the medium-length spectrum of
hairstyles provides the most options. It's basically
the goldilocks zone of hairstyles, as it isn't too
short nor too long for the average Joe. You can
quickly tell who'd look great (and not so great) in
short or long hairstyles, but it's challenging to do
the same for medium-length hairstyles. They work
well with most face shapes and types, making them
extremely popular among men.

C l a s s i c Ta p e r H a i r s t y l e s
The classic taper cut is, in many ways, a
disconnected undercut. Hair on both the back and
sides of the head is tapered and relatively short
while the top is slightly longer and allows for
various forms of styling. This short-to-long gradient
gives it the name “taper”.

Sh or t Text u r e d H a i r c u t & L o n g F rin g e

For many millennials, this particular haircut will

bring back a ton of memories. Popular within the
“emo phase” of the early to mid-2000s, this cut is
still in fashion. A long fringe paired with a short cut
looks surprisingly stylish and is versatile, too, as
the short pair of the haircut can be anything from a
buzz cut to a fade.

A r c h F r i n g e & S c i s s o r Ta p e r

Looking to drop the shaver? Great! Why not opt for

a look that’s heavy on the scissors? Taper cuts
already use a longer fringe which is primarily cut
using scissors – this makes adding in some extra
scissors work a reasonable idea.

This haircut can look great, but it’s important to

find a barber that knows their way around a pair of
scissors.

Mo der n S li c k e d - b a c k M e n ' s Ha irc u t

While this slicked-back style can resemble a

pompadour, the two are completely different. The
pompadour does give off an air of slicked-back
aesthetic, but the term “slicked-back hair” is a
category of cuts all in itself.

Classic Combed-back Hairstyles

Everyone loves the classics — including the
combed-back hairstyle. It requires more
maintenance than a buzz cut or crew cut, but it’s
almost always looked at as incredibly stylish and
fashion-forward.

Confident Quiff Brush-up

The quiff can be rocked with medium-length hair
too, giving off a lot of attitudes. To achieve the
correct look within this style, you’ll need to have a
bit of pomade or gel on hand, as well as a brush
and a comb. Simply apply the product and use a bit
of combing to brush up and back from the
forehead. Voila — a confident quiff brush up!

Side-shav e d C o m b - o v e r

If the quiff doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can

always opt for a straightforward combed cut like
this one. With the long, voluminous comb-over and
very short sides, this comb-over is the definition of
fashionable. It pairs well with both casual and
business attire and is fairly easy to maintain. To
give your local hipster a run for his money, add in a
beard or moustache.

Brushed-back Scissor Crop

Generally, scissor crops are short. But if you’ve

grown your crop out or have intentionally decided
to keep it a little longer, this might be the perfect
hairstyle for you. All you have to do is brush out
the hair on top of your head.

M i d -l en g th Pom pa dour H a i r s t y l e s
Here are a few more pomp ideas for all of you out
there who think that the short pomp just isn't long
enough.

Mo der n P o m p a d o u r U n d e r c u t

If you appreciate a good head of hair, you’ll

appreciate this cut. The pomp is the main attraction
for this style, obviously, but the best part is that it
looks great on a clean-shaven face or in the
presence of a beard.

Since the undercut is still popular, it’s common to

pair this giant pomp with a classic undercut, which
adds intrigue to the look while also giving the pomp
plenty of room to be the star of the show.

Te x tur e d Pom pa dour Fa de

Pompadours and fades; a combination that no one

would have seen coming but continuously proves
to be one of the most popular hairstyle combos
among men. This textured pompadour is best done
when paired with medium and high fades.

Me ssy Tex t u r e d P o m p a d o u r & L o w F a d e

While low fades aren’t generally a great idea when

paired with pomps, there is one exception and it’s
this ultra-modern haircut. When you’re sporting a
messy or wavy pompadour, a low fade compliments
it well, since it is neat and tidy. Using this pairing,
your pomp will have a natural and rugged, manly
feel.

Classic Pompadour

The classic pomp is exactly that — a classic. If you

have a pomp of any kind, it’s almost certainly been
inspired by the classic pompadour. The main
difference between the classic and the modern
pompadour is the cut on the sides of the head, with
modern pomps sporting super short sides,
undercuts, or shaved sides and the classic having
slightly shorter sides and a slicked-back
appearance.

Undercut with Stylish Pomp

This fashionable pomp is the perfect length — not

too short and not too long. Its unique length makes
it great for adding volume to the hair.

hairstyles that make good use of a nice mid fade.

If you’d rather finger-comb than use an actual

comb, a side-swept haircut is just the thing for you.
With medium-length hair on the top of your head,
this haircut gives you enough volume to look
fashion-forward and stylish, while also keeping it
short enough to be easily managed using pomade
or gel.

Curly Fringe

Even though the curly fringe is a style that will

likely always be in style, it’s a look that only a
small percentage of men can pull off. If you’re one
of the lucky few who can, then you should
definitely give it a go.

C u r l y F r i n g e & C l a s s i c Ta p e r F a d e

There’s a lot going on in this hairstyle. From the

youthful, fun curly fringe to the modern fade and
tasteful tapering, this style draws the eye in a
million different directions. Say hello to a show-
stopping look.

M en 's H air s tyle s with Added M ess

Feeling a little wild lately? A messy hairstyle can

really go well with that personality. If you've got
thick hair, though, you may find it difficult to shape
it the way you want. Fortunately, some styles can
make you look as wild as you want without forcing
your hair to stand up in weird shapes.

Si d e P art Ha ir sty les

Side parts, in a way, are more of an accessory to a

hairstyle than a hairstyle in itself. For example, you
can add one into a quiff, a slicked-back haircut or
even a pomp if you're feeling daring. There are
plenty of reasons to throw in a side part, since they
make your top more pronounced while presenting a
cleaner look.

Relaxed Side Part - Rising Popularity

A relaxed side part is the less severe, more

natural-looking cousin of the classic side part. It
suits just about any face shape and works the best
on medium-long, and has been getting popular in
recent years.

Natural Hairstyles

Natural Bowl Cut

Though bowl cuts were at their most popular during

the ’80s, there are still renditions of them that pop
up today. The natural bowl cut can make a great
hairstyle, provided that you have the face shape
for it and the time to maintain its length in order for
it to keep its signature round shape.

Bowl Cut with Short Bangs

Yet another variant of the modern bowl cut, this

shorter-fringe bowl cut has the fringe stopping just
above the eyebrows. Its signature feature is the
straight, forward line that runs from the ears and
across the forehead.

Bowl Cut with Side-swept Bangs

If the regular bowl cut doesn’t interest you, mix it

up a bit! Instead, keep your fringe a little longer
and direct its flow to the side of your face by
running your fingers through it. A simple side
sweep is a great way to transform a basic bowl cut
into something more modern and exciting.

Guile Cut

The guile cut is trending among South Korean

men. It is a mixed hairstyle with prominent sides,
which are achieved by using both clippers and a
razor. Adopters of this style can utilize their natural
hairline and hair growth pattern, making it one of
the most naturalistic styles on our list.

Haircut

While it’s impossible not to appreciate a hairstyle

that takes a lot of time, it can sometimes be best to
let your hair do all the hard work. This hairstyle lets
your hair do the hardest part, requiring nothing
more from you than a light combing.

Ea r Tucke d P a r t

As a basic style that uses either a side or middle

part and has the wearer tucking both sides of the
part behind their ears, this style shouldn’t and
doesn’t require a lot of effort to achieve. It’s ideal
for those with medium to long hair as well as those
who have naturally wavy hair or a long fringe.

Long Hairstyles for Men

Long hair isn’t for everyone — especially those
who live in warm climates or who lack the time and
patience to style and maintain it. But if you’re
interested in making a statement with your hair,
long is often one of the best ways to go.

Long Curly Hair Fade

The long curly fade is a contemporary style that

complements its wearer’s confidence. It’s a
powerful way of embracing the aesthetic of natural
curls while also keeping your hair care routine
short, sweet, and simple. By leaving some length
on top, you’re able to show off your curls, while the
undercut and fade on the sides work to emphasize
the look.

Longer Men's Hairstyle for Curly or Wavy

Hair

If you've got curly or wavy hair, one of the best

ways to show it off is by just letting it all down. It
never hurts to keep it simple, and with curly and
wavy hair, you don't need any elaborate hairstyles
to stand out. Just be prepared as you'll need good
hair products and regular combing to maximize the
look.

As a complement to your long hair, you can grow

out your moustache or beard to match. You could
go for a simple, minimal look or a more elaborate
look like the anchor beard shown in the picture. If
you'd rather just get a clean shave, then that works
fine too.

M o d ern Under c uts & Lo nger

Hairstyles
If you want something longer, fancier than short
undercuts, but are not interested in something as
simple as growing your hair out and calling it a day.
Then we’d recommend undercuts paired with
longer hair — the perfect combination.

U n d e r c u t w i t h L o n g To u s l e d To p

Tousled hair can make you stand out, however, it

can also be challenging to pull off. To achieve a
look like this, you’ll need long, thick hair and a
handful of products including a matte hard wax.
When it comes to styling a tousled look, take your
time to get the hang of it as it’s important to find
the perfect balance between classy and messy.

Side S w ep t U n d e r c u t

Side-swept undercuts are the little cousin of the

tousled hairstyle. Instead of having to toss your
hair around and risk creating knots, this style
involves only a comb and some good pomade. As
the name suggests, this cut features long hair
that’s been combed to the side, as well as an
undercut on the sides of the head.

Long Spiky Hairstyles & High Skin

Fade
Yeah, undercuts are cool and all but if you’re the
type of person who prefers a clean-cut style, then
high fades are a great alternative. These cuts
erase almost all of the hair on the sides of your
head, allowing the eyes of everyone around you to
be drawn to the top of your head, where the
volume and intrigue is.

Long Hair Slicked Back & Shaved Sides

The long, slicked-back style is one of the most

popular hairstyles that frequently makes use of
high fades. Chances are that you’ve seen a
number of men on the streets who sport this style,
and if you have, you probably agree with us when
we say that this style oozes manliness and
confidence. Since there is no hair on the sides, the
slicked-back top hair gets all the attention.

This style looks great on its own but also goes well
with a beard or beard-mustache combo.

Sa m ur ai H a i r c u t ( To p K n o t o r M a n Bu n )

Loosely based on the traditional hairstyles of the

Japanese samurai but known for being “hipster”
and cool today, the man bun is both high-fashion
and manly. When paired with a high fade and some
facial hair, this style screams confidence,
relaxation, and laid-back, good vibes.

If you’re looking into adopting the man bun, be

sure to have the products you need on hand. In
addition to any styling products you like, you’ll also
need an assortment of hair ties, varying in size
based on how large you want your bun.

Low Fade & Long Curls

Long curls with a low fade might be the perfect

style for you if you like the natural look. If your hair
is naturally curly, this style does wonders to
enhance its appeal by leaving those luscious curls
untouched. This is a similar style as tousled but
gives a more natural atmosphere while being less
disheveled-looking.

Haircuts for Long Hair

Long Hairstyle & Beard

Long hair is great, but sometimes you just don’t

know what to do with it! Perhaps you’ve grown
attached to it or are hesitant to change your
signature look. Regardless, there’s nothing that
says you have to cut your long, hard-grown locks.
Instead, why not just grow a beard?

Beards and long hair have gone hand-in-hand for

decades and continue to stand the test of time.
They are a pairing that makes the wearer look
manly and carefree, but also make him look stylish
and professional when paired with the right outfit.

Ma n Bob

Typically, the bob features straight, jaw-length hair

and may or may not include a fringe. In the case of
 the man bob, this style is set apart from the
traditional woman’s bob with the addition of thick,
hipster-like glasses and/or a beard.

Johnny Depp, an American actor who’s known for

his role in the ever-popular Pirates of the
Caribbean franchise, is known for rocking this
style, with a long bob that hits his shoulders and
falls straight down.

Men’s Hairstyles FAQ

Which haircut is trending right now

f o r men ?
The modern mullet is trending for men around the
world right now. The modern mullet is typically an
alteration of the traditional fade/undercut style,
with longer hair at the back of the head. Its roots
return to the Y2K wolf-style movement. But really,
any modern haircut with a longer back is
considered a modern mullet, so it’s highly versatile!

How do I tell my barber what I

want?
If you're switching up your hairstyle for the first
time, you might wonder how you'd specify to your
stylist what you're looking for in a haircut. The first
step is telling your barber the style you want by
name. For example, you might say, "a crew cut."
When you go in for your appointment, bring a
photo or two of the style you want the stylist to
recreate.

The stylist can look at your head shape, face

contours, and hair texture to adjust the style to suit
you best.

Be sure to communicate with your stylist as the cut

is underway.

How do I know which hairstyle suits

me?
To determine which cut will look good on you, you
need to figure out which face shape you have and
then search for flattering styles on that shape.
Once you find one that you like and that suits your
face shape and jawline, feel free to bring it to your
stylist for a second opinion.

What is the easiest haircut to

maintain?
Typically, shorter, barber-style haircuts are the
easiest to maintain for the long term. They tend to
require more frequent trips to the salon but less
time on a daily basis. For longer styles, the
opposite is usually true.
