10 Best Men's Haircuts: Names, Styles & How to Ask Your Barber

The Faux Hawk: Edgy Without the Commitment

Not ready to commit to a full-blown mohawk? The faux hawk gives you the perfect balance. This trendy style showcases a longer mane spilling down the center of the head, a little like the mohawk silhouette minus the shaved sides. Great choice for style-conscious men who want an edgy touch without going overboard. This cut also works exceptionally well for men with round faces as it adds height and definition.

The Comb-Over Fade: Classic Sophistication Revived

The comb-over fade is a classic that's made a blockbuster return in recent years. Characterized by medium-length hair on top, it's styled with a sleek side-parting for a touch of sophistication and charm. To nail this hairstyle dead-on, be mindful to lift the hair as you comb, so you don't end with a flat look.

Pro tip: Achieve that perfect hold and shine with a high-quality hair wax or styling product. A strong hold product ensures your style stays put throughout your busy day.

The Slick Back: Modern Elegance for Men

Basking in the spotlight of modern popularity is the slicked-back style. This super-duper look can be achieved with medium to long hair (about 3 inches or more). For a refined finish with a matte finish, apply a strong-hold product like a wax, pomade or gel.

The Buzz Cut: Practical & Masculine

For the gents big on practicality, the buzz cut is the ideal match. Have your barber use a short clipper length (preferably a number one on the guard scale) and you'll have a masculine, low-maintenance style that complements your persona.

The Crew Cut: Timeless Military-Inspired Style

Inspired by military styles, the crew cut offers a timeless look that never goes out of fashion. The style originated in 1927 with Yale rowing teams and has remained popular ever since. Defined by short, faded sides and back, with slightly longer hair on top, it's a neat and easy-to-care-for option that's always been a popular choice.

The Side Part: A Stylish Twist on the Classic

The side part is basically a stylish twist on the classic comb-over hairstyle, that works like a charm. Use a comb to create a clean parting line, then style the hair around your face for a suave and trendy look.

The French Crop: Textured Fringe with Personality

Similar to a crew cut, the French crop adds a textured fringe to the front for a touch of personality. This chic and popular style remains a hit for its effortless yet polished look.

The Man Bun: Long Hair, Effortless Style

The man bun has become a 'go-to' haircut for men with long hair in recent times. It's an easy, effective solution for keeping your mane out of your face while still effortlessly expressing your style. All you need is a hair tie to create a casual, yet put-together look.

The Topknot: Edgy Hipster-Inspired Aesthetic

Similar to the man bun, the topknot involves tying your hair back. However, it sits higher on the head and is often paired with shaved sides for a more edgy and hipster-inspired aesthetic.
