Let’s explore the hottest and most popular haircuts for men right now.




Fade Haircuts

The skin fade-high fade is a classic haircut suitable to complete an androgynous style outfit or look.

The high fade follows a line that goes straight back from the corner of the forehead.

The skin, or bald fade, tapers hair right down to the skin while the shadow fades and goes from short hair at the hairline to even shorter hair at the neckline.

1. Skin Fade Haircut (High Fade)

High fade haircuts for men

The term ‘fade’ first appeared in black-owned barbershops to describe a tight tapering style.

The hair on the sides and back is cut (tapered) as close as possible to the skin, with a machine or clippers, ‘fading’ up towards the top of the head.

The hair on top can be styled neatly or given a messy texture with gel, paste, or strong pomade.

The faded haircut is incorrectly called a ‘military regular’ haircut because military services have different hair length regulations that can’t be generalized to all haircuts.

2. Mid-Fade Haircut

Mid fade haircuts for men

A mid-fade haircut is a fade cut that starts at a level between the temples and the ears.

The fade halfway down creates length and contrast and looks fabulous with or without facial hair.




3. Bun Fade Haircut

Bun Fade Haircuts for Men

A bun fade haircut is an edgy hairstyle that combines a fade haircut with a bun.

The bun fade haircut is a popular choice for men who want a stylish and contemporary hairstyle that is easy to maintain.

The hairstyle peaked in 2020 when famous figures like Christiano Ronaldo cut their hair in a bun fade style.

4. Taper Fade Haircut (Tapered)

Taper Fade haircuts for men

Tapered haircuts are longer at the top of the head and shorter as you go down to the natural hairline on the nape of the neck and sides of the head.

Ask your hairstylist for a long taper – when you want to grow your hair long – or a short taper – in this case, the hair comes closer to the skin.

5. Close-Cropped Fade Haircut

Close-Cropped fade haircuts for men

The crop is a short textured haircut paired with a fade on the back and sides.

The haircut goes well with a trimmed beard and subtle men’s makeup to hide acne or skin imperfections.

Often worn with a blunt fringe, the crop top haircut can also work with a short fringe cut towards the hairline or a long fringe down the forehead.

6. Comb Over Fade Haircut (Skin Fade Comb)

Comb Over Fade mens haircuts

A comb-over fades, or skin-faded comb mixes the fade length cut with a textured comb over and side part.

Use dry shampoo for volume and piece the ends of your hair with a matte pomade to finish the comb-over faded haircut.




7. Classic Fade Haircut

Classic Fade haircut

The most incredible fade haircut; remember, not all faded haircuts are cut super short on the back and sides.

The top hair is left longer and tapered down with clippers – on the sides and back – to blend into the skin at the nape.

Brush it with a slight part, like in the pics above, to give this ‘longer fade’ a polished final look.

8. Razor Fade Haircut

Razor Fade haircuts for men

The razor fades haircut, sometimes called the straight razor fade, is a type of skin-tapered fade cut where the guy’s hair is shaved on the sides and back.

Suitable base for slicked-back hair, taper fade haircut, comb-over hairstyle, and even a medium haircut – messy hairstyle cut with a razor blade fade.

Also, it is a base for sophisticated hairstyles such as under wavy locks, mohawk fade, or undercut textured spikes.




9. Curly Hair Fade Haircut

Fade haircuts for curly hair men

There are many curly hair fade variations, some longer, some shorter, some skinnier, some meatier, as the barbers trained and like to cut.

But, as a general rule, curly hair should be longer on top with nothing at the sides or shorter with faded edges.

The more curls you have, the lower the fade – the best example of this style is the British heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua.

Also, you can concentrate texture and length on the top of the head with a high fade.

If neither works, there are plenty of medium fade options somewhere in between.

10. Fade Buzz Haircut

Fade Buzz haircuts for men

The faded buzz haircut reflects the shaving of the back and the sides to one uniform length.

However, the hair on top of the head is trimmed to a slightly – just slightly – longer length.

Essentially, this forms the basis of a ‘fade’ as the shaved sides blend into the top hair.

This style is the most popular choice of short haircuts for men, working great with a well-manicured beard.




Classic Haircuts

Designed for medium hair, thicker hair, and wavy hair, the following classic haircuts are ideal for achieving a classic Preppy look.

Perpetually stylish, these classic style staples include many timeless styles, from modern pompadour to textured and curly hairstyles.

1. French Crop Haircut

classic French Crop haircuts for men

Similar to a Caesar cut but in Italian style, the French crop consists of hair cut short on the back and sides and kept slightly longer through the top.

Depending on the length, you can keep it combed forward over the forehead or pushed to the side.

2. Buzz Cut Haircut

Classic Buzz Cut hairstyles

Men’s buzz cut was initially adopted and described as a traditional American military-style cut.

As the processing speed of hundreds of soldiers was vital, the classic buzz cut was done with machines, fast!

With one size on the sides and back of your head and one size up on the top, the buzz cut creates the illusion of height – even on short, buzzed hair.

However, the contemporary buzz cut features a slightly closer trimmed back and sides with a more extended patch of hair left on the top.

3. Slick Back Haircut

Classic Slick Back haircut for men

The classic slick back remains one of the most fabulous hairstyles around.

The slick back hairstyle confers a simple and sexy look at the same time and can make the wearer appear mature, sexy, and casual business-like.

Create your slick back style by brushing all your hair back and using some pomade on damp hair to preserve moisture and secure the final shape.




5. Side Parting Haircut

Classic Side Parting haircuts for men

Side part haircuts are regular, professional, standard, or businessman cuts.

To create a side part, hold the tip of a comb down towards the scalp.

The comb should be positioned a couple of inches to the left or right of the imaginary center line running down your head.

With the tip held down, draw the part in a straight line down the back of your head.

Ideally, you’ll ask your barber to help with side parting; specify which side part style you want.

5. Shoulder Length Haircut

Classic Shoulder Length haircuts for men

Shoulder-length hairstyles are for men who can flaunt a healthy, well-kept head of hair.

If you’re well-endowed in the hair department, shoulder-length hairstyles are absolute head-turners.

Paving the way for quiffs, pompadours, and modern-style textured crops, shoulder-length men’s haircuts open up a Pandora’s Box of possibilities that short haircuts can’t provide.

6. Hi-Top Fade Haircut

Classic Hi-Top Fade haircuts for men

The high-top fade haircut reached peak popularity in the early 1990s fashion and is trending again now.

The cut has come a long way from Kid of Kid’ n Play’s unforgettable look, and regardless of how you wear it, the hi-top fade remains a very cool haircut for men.




7. Pompadour Haircut

Classic Pompadour haircut for men

Named after Madame de Pompadour (1721–1764), a mistress of King Louis XV of France, the pompadour hairstyle is a key part of the Rockabilly, Greaser, and Teddy styles.

Although there are numerous variations of the style for men, women, and children, the main idea is to create a large volume of hair swept upwards from the face and worn high over the forehead.

A men’s pompadour haircut features longer hair swept up and back at the top and flanked by slick sides or shorter sides.

The hair is the tallest and most voluminous at the front of the hairline, receding in size and scope as it flows back.

8. Quiff Cut Haircut

Classic Quiff Cut mens haircuts

Quiff is a British term describing a prominent piece of hair brushed up and back from the forehead. A forelock is an excellent example of a quiff.

Start with a close buzz (about #1-1/2) at the neckline and a mid-level fade way up for a quiff cut.

The sides and top should be blended without a disconnect, while the hair at the top of your head should be around 3 inches long.




Men’s Fringe Haircuts

A shorter section of hair cut straight across the forehead is called fringe in Britain, while in America, the correspondent of fringes is ‘bangs.’

A bang means that a part of the haircut is ‘bang off’ – or abruptly off and this hairstyle is ideal for achieving an Emo, Boyish look or complementing a Tomboy style.

1. Side Fringe Haircut

Side Fringe haircuts for men

Above all fringes, the side fringe is making the biggest comeback.

Whether your hair is long, short, bobbed, or cropped, there’s a side fringe to suit every type of hair!

Uhh… I guess apart from those of you with afro hair.

2. Straight Fringe Haircut

Straight Fringe haircuts for men

While pretty much everyone suits a fringe, it’s all about where the edge ends’, especially with a straight fringe.

If you go for a long straight fringe, know it will accentuate your cheekbones or brow skimming.

Ideally, a straight fringe hairstyle will fit the face shape and the jawline.




3. Angular Fringe Haircut

Angular Fringe haircuts for women

The angular fringe haircut is a style in which the sides are kept somewhat short, and the top is left relatively long.

The ‘short on the sides, long on top’ concept is the same one on which styles like the undercut and the pompadour are based.

The vital difference is that the fringe is left hanging over the forehead.

4. Textured Fringe Haircut

Textured Fringe classic haircuts for men

Textured fringe haircuts are just as the name says: fringe-style haircuts with some layering instead of classic fringe cuts or blunt bangs.

However, textured bags require more hair than other bang styles, often up to 2 inches back from your hairline.




5. Short Fringe Haircut

Short Fringe haircuts for men

The short bang trend is also known as baby bangs, cropped bangs, or mini fringe and reflects a look that’s grazing the forehead, in some sense.

These bangs are short, like really short.

Settling higher than the brow bone, this bang style makes long; curtained fringe look like a waterfall.

A great hairstyle for a rebellious look works wonders, especially when matched with tattoos and accessories.

6. Long Fringe Haircut

Long fringe haircuts for men

While long hair length varies from culture to culture, long bangs that cover your hairline or forehead are a cut every stylish individual should try once.




7. Curly Fringe Haircut

Curly Fringe haircuts for men

Curly bangs are a hairstyle where the fringe is curled by iron or left alone to grow if the hair has a naturally curly texture.

No matter your natural curl type, from 2c to 4c, every man can rock a curly fringe.

It’s all about how you style and work with it; a thorough consultation with your hairstylist is needed.

8. French Crop Fringe Haircut

French Crop Fringe haircuts for men

The French Crop fringe is a classic style that works with either skin fade around the head or a semi-cut style.

The key to a French crop lies in the fringe; high if you’re going for a faded cut or a bit longer in case of a messier hairstyle.

9. Faux Hawk Fringe Haircut

Faux Hawk fringe hairstyles for men

The faux hawk hairstyle, also known as Fohawk, has been one of the trendiest haircuts over the last few years, and for a good reason.

This haircut mimics a mohawk — hence the name “faux hawk” or “fake hawk” — with the ‘wave’ riding through the top.

Yet, this modified style gives you much more freedom regarding what you do with the sides.

While the faux hawk hairstyle might give the impression of a simple to-achieve cut, this style requires the help of a specialist hairstylist.




Military Haircuts

A military haircut, or induction cut, is the shortest possible hairstyle without shaving the head with a razor.

The style is the first haircut given to new male recruits during initial entry into many of the world’s armed forces, and it works wonders to complete Chav and Blokecore styles.

A low guard clipper is used around the sides of the head, and the hair is left around 1 inch long on the top.

There is no gradual tamper between the sides and the top of the head.

1. Burr Cut Haircut

Burr Cut mens haircuts

One of the most straightforward haircuts on this list, the Burr Cut, can be done by most of you at home.

Start at the sideburns and buzz upwards, keeping against the grain.

Work your way up through the crown once you reach the back of the head.

2. Crew Cut Haircut

Military Crew Cut mens haircuts

A crew cut is a haircut in which the hair on the top of the head is cut relatively short.

However, the style graduates in length, from the most extended hair that forms short pomp at the front hairline to the shortest at the back of the crown.

As such, in the side profile, the outline of the top hair approaches the horizontal.




3. Regulation Cut Haircut

Regulation Cut mens haircuts

The regulation cut is one of the longer army haircuts you might see – James Bond is the perfect candidate to exemplify this hairstyle.

This style is built according to army haircut regulations, which involves trimming the top down.

The sides are then tapered off completely, leaving it up to you to decide how much skin you want to be visible.

The cut has its perks: low maintenance, looks great, is practical, and works in almost every environment.

4. Flat Top Haircut

Flat Top haircuts for men

Very popular in the 1950s fashion era, the flat top is also a short military-inspired haircut.

The hi-top is also called a black hairstyle flat top or flattop, influenced by the unique hair texture of people with dark skin and dark hair.

It is a variation of the military cut but with short sides and long or very long hair on the top.

5. Induction Cut Haircut

Induction Cut haircuts for men

The induction cut is the shortest possible hairstyle without shaving the head with a razor.

The style is so named as it is traditionally the first haircut given to new male recruits during initial entry into many of the world’s armed forces – particularly in the United States.




6. Ivy League Haircut

Ivy League mens haircuts

Not an army haircut per se, the Ivy League style defines one’s face, making it best for men with solid cheekbones or a prominent jawline.

The haircut leaves enough hair on the top of the head to be parted or combed aside.

Brad Pitt is an excellent inspiration for this cut, sporting a popular induction cut style in the Inglourious Basterds movie.

7. Military Buzz Haircut

Military Buzz haircuts for men

The typical buzz cut is buzzed to one length all over, with no transitions in length between the sides and back, and is used in the military because of its ease.

Initially, the Army used this hairstyle as ‘field sanitation,’ aiming to control the spread of body lice.

8. High and Tight Haircut

High and Tight haircuts for men

The high and tight is a military variant of the crew cut.

A very short hairstyle, the high and tight cut, is characterized by the back and sides of the head shaved to the skin.

Then, the slightly longer hair on the top is blended (faded) in.




Skater Haircuts

If you are into extreme biking, skating, streetwear, or even Grunge style fashion, you will find the classic skater haircut quintessential.

Generally, with a medium length, all skater hairstyles and haircuts feature swoopy front bangs, styled to avoid covering the eyes.

Skater haircuts’ natural flow and shape allow men to wear helmets for a modern, edgy look.

1. Skater Short Haircut

Short Skater haircuts for men

This skater haircut is perfect for those who don’t want to stand out of the crowd but still wish to have a little zest in their style.

The zest is created by a short textured fringe, usually above the eyebrows.

2. Skater Long Haircut

Long Skater haircuts for men

An ideal haircut for thick and straight hair, this cut is often found in the surfing community.

The hair cascades down the neck, and long hair strands are a must in this case.




3. Skater Long Curl Haircut

Long Curl Skater haircuts for men

This haircut is equivalent to an extreme sports lifestyle.

Whether you are a skater, blander, or surfer, you know what it means to rock this messy, curly cut, potentially with a side part or back style.

4. Undercut Skater Haircut

Undercut Skater haircuts for men

This is a fantastic look without much styling.

It gets the side swept long, almost like a disconnected undercut.

The sides and back are cut short, up to the hairline, with much longer hair on top.

5. 80s Skater Hairstyle

80s Skater haircuts for men

The neat part about the 80’s skater haircut is a messy undercut designed to make you look young.

Try a clean shave and add some hair styling products, especially if you have medium-length hair.

Although unsuitable for business people, 80’s skater haircuts work wonders for boys with straight, fine hair.




6. 90s Skater Hairstyle

90s Skater haircuts for men

Ryan Sheckler was one of the most influential skaters of the late 90s, sponsored to perform – unique for those times.

7. Dreadlocks Hairstyle

Dreadlocks skater haircuts for men

A signature haircut, dreadlocks are a hairstyle that intrigues others thanks to their unique beauty.

Although around for decades, dreadlocks still garner loads of well-deserved attention.

From extra long to super short and everything in between, dreadlock styles for men run the gamut of styling possibilities.




8. Surfer Cut Hairstyle

Surfer Cut mens haircuts

Surfer’s hair falls into the category of ‘tousled hairstyles.’

Purposefully messy, cluttered, and untidy, the surfer’s cut isn’t a style that looks the part.

The haircut takes its name from the stereotype of a hardcore surfer whose hair has been bleached by the sun, soaked in salty sea waters, and receives minimal care.

9. Mullet-Mohawk Hairstyle

Mullet-Mohawk Skater haircuts for men

A fantastic haircut in the 80s, the Mullet Mohawk has made waves around the punk rock era.

The style returned in the 90s with an athletic twist since many footballers sported it.

Some use medium-hold pomade, but I prefer shiny pomade (and a stubble beard) to create that bit of shine needed for this style.

Whether you hate or like it, you can’t deny the iconic look of this style.




Spiky Haircuts

Very popular in Y2K fashion, the spiky haircut offers a youthful and energetic look.

Great if you don’t have particular job requirements or strict school hairstyle codes.

It is a fun, carefree style with an attitude that works with most hair types since it relies heavily on hair products.

1. Spiky Fade Haircut

200+ Most Popular Haircuts for Men Right NowA sharper version of the classic spiky haircut, the classic spiky taper is longer on top and relatively simple to achieve.

3. Spiky Long Haircut

200+ Most Popular Haircuts for Men Right Now

It’s all about texture when creating spiked looks for long hair.

If you have thick locks, rock a messy style by creating spikes with pomade and your hands.

Grey hair is excellent in the case of a textured crop, working wonders with various facial hairstyles.




4. Spiky Faux Hawk Haircut

200+ Most Popular Haircuts for Men Right Now

200+ Most Popular Haircuts for Men Right Now

This is the best way to give the classic, smooth pompadour style a spiky edge.

But, before finishing and securing with hairspray, pull apart a few pieces and lightly twist them to form peaks.

6. Single-Length Haircut

200+ Most Popular Haircuts for Men Right Now

Just because you have curly hair doesn’t mean you can’t still get in on the spiky trend.

Use some texturing powder in your roots, coat your fingertips in wax, and spike only the top section of your hair.

As curly hair can be heavy, it’s best to lightly cover your locks with a layer of stronghold hairspray to ensure it stays in place.

8. Spiky Windswept Haircut

200+ Most Popular Haircuts for Men Right Now

Windswept spiky hair is easy to achieve and requires low maintenance.

All you need to do is create your spikes as usual, but sweep them all to one side rather than straight up or backward.

Doing so will leave you with an effortless yet sharp look.




Undercut Haircuts

Very suitable with Old Money, Sloane Ranger, and BCBG styles, the undercut hairstyle has the back, and the sides shaved underneath the longer hair on top.

1. Disconnected Undercut Haircut

The slicked-back undercut is a famous men’s haircut like the disconnected undercut.

4. Blowout Undercut Hairstyle

200+ Most Popular Haircuts for Men Right Now

Part of the buzz-cut family, this hairstyle is suitable to complete fashion styles such as Acubi, Bleak Crush, Cyber Y2K, and Avant Apocalypse.
