Ultra Short Hair
Step1
One of the biggest trends in men’s haircuts is taking it all off via a buzz cut. Very short hair works for those who suffer from hair loss or just don’t want to fuss with styling.
Step2
Have your stylist use clippers on the sides and back to keep these areas neat and tidy. Typically the hair will be 1/8 to 1/2 inches in length.
Step3
Depending on your preference or the amount of hair on the top of your head, you have options as to how short to have your hair cut on top. Leaving the hair a little longer, say 1 to 2 inches, gives you styling options with your hair.
Step4
For those who don’t mind taking it all off, go the full buzz cut route and get the top buzzed as well.
Short Hair
Step1
The classic man’s hair cut is created with short layers all over the head. The sides are trimmed close and cut above the ears.
Step2
The back is tapered short into the nape of the neck and cut above the collar. The hairline is typically squared off to create a neat and masculine appearance.
Step3
The length of the top can vary anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 inches in length. Ask your stylist what works best for your hair type.
Step4
Use a small dab of gel to style the top. You can create a style with a brush and blowdrier or let it dry naturally for a wet look. This style is still very low maintenance.
Medium Length Hair
Step1
For those who don’t like the short look, try an ultra trendy medium length men’s hairstyle.
Step2
This hairstyle is good for hair that is medium to thick in texture and works well with straight or wavy hair.
Step3
This men’s haircut is simply a longer version of the classic men’s cut with the layers remaining longer all around the head.
Step4
The top is cut anywhere from 3 1/2 to 5 inches long. For very thick hair, the layers may also be thinned out with a straight razor to eliminate excess hair and give the look some texture.
Step5
The sides and back are also left longer to blend with the top. Typically the sides will sit at the bottom of the earlobes, while the back will usually sit just below the shirt collar.
Step6
The bangs in this style are usually a full bang that sits on the forehead but are slightly swept to one side. A side part works best with this men’s hair cut.
Step7
To style, use gel or a styling cream on damp hair and blow dry your hair while styling it with your fingers. The key to this hairstyle is to give it a messy appearance. You want to avoid a structured look so use your hands to style instead of a brush.
Step8
If your hair tends to pouf a lot when blowdried, only dry hair until it is still slightly damp. Let it dry naturally the rest of the way.
Long Hair
Step1
Very long hair on men is no longer trendy. Today’s long hair is more tailored and above the shoulders in length.
Step2
A man’s version of the bob hairstyle is the most popular long hairstyle. This style still allows you to have some length to your hair but doesn’t look unkempt.
Step3
This man’s hairstyle typically sits just above or just at the jaw line with minimal layering throughout. The hair can also be one length, if desired, but a little layering gives the style some movement and keeps it from looking too bushy on thick hair.
Step4
A side part usually works best for this hairstyle. To style this haircut, apply a mousse or styling lotion to damp hair. Your best bet is to use the drier sparingly with this style.
Step5
If your hair is wavy, you can use a straightening balm and use a vent brush to help smooth out waves. For naturally straight hair, letting this style air dry as much as possible works best. Use the blowdrier to get out any excess moisture, but leave the hair slightly damp to avoid a “pouf-y” look.
