Blowout styles don’t typically take too long to style either, once you become proficient in using the tools your haircuts will reach a new level of prestige.

A blowout on men’s hair requires that the hairs on top be longer in length.There are more options to style long hair than there are short hair. A proper blowout hairstyle requires the use of brushes and combs that work together in unison with the blow dryer.

Practice makes perfect when it comes to the blowout, but once it is mastered you unlock the ability to create a plethora of unique hairstyles.

1. Spiky Bang Blowout

One of the easier looks to achieve, the spiky bang is a simple blowout hairstyle that provides tons of volume in the fringe. The spiky fringe is a haircut that is achieved by layering the ends on top of each other.

The spiky bang blowout hairstyle has the hair lengths pointing up. Style this look by placing the nozzle underneath the moderately wet hair strands and directing the heat up.

Blow from the roots up. When the hair is adequately dry, apply your favorite product, a wax or pomade will do! A temple fade or a temp fade for the sides matches nicely with this haircut.

2. Swept Over Blowout

The swept over blowout hairstyle is an excellent way to introduce movement into your haircut. The long hair sweeps over to either side to create tons of visual interest. The swept over is easy to achieve.

Start with damp hair and begin to blow dry in the direction you want the hair to flow. Simultaneously combing or brushing the hair will create a cleaner look, while only using your fingers to direct the hair lengths will create a messier look. A fade haircut on the sides pairs well with the blowout on top.

3. Long Disconnected Blowout

Long hair is key for this blowout haircut. The long hair needs to be noticeable when it arcs over to the side, it must not blend. This look is sharp and any hair type will suit the disconnected blowout.

Using a brush will create the most volume and height, but for a more natural look and to create direction use your fingers to style, especially in the fringe area! This haircut looks great with the addition of mid fade on the sides. The mid fade suits lots of styles and is easy to maintain.

4. Blowout Pompadour

The pompadour is elegant and pristine. This blowout haircut places the majority of the texture at the fringe. If you can style the pompadour, you can style any haircut!

The best pompadour hairstyle look comes from using a 9 row brush to style. The brush creates the most volume and hold! To create a modern look have the side lengths cut either in a mid fade or high fade. A classic pompadour look has the side lengths uniform in length (all the same).

5. Short Hair Blowout

The short blowout is great for straight hair. It is a blowout haircut style that is quick to style. The lengths on top are just long enough style, and hold easy. The short hair blowout is accompanied with shorter sides.

A fade haircut is generally paired with the short hair blowout. A taper fade can also be introduced as well to add some edge. Styling is easy, a small amount of pomade or wax is all that is needed to hold the lengths.

6. Curly Hair Blowout

A curly blowout is fantastic for thick hair. Long hair is sometimes easier to curl and using mousse is a fantastic way to activate the curls. Using a diffuser is an excellent option to get maximum curl potential.

Blow-drying damp hair is a must. If you opt out of using a diffuser, run your fingers through your hair vigorously to form the curls.

The sides in the curly blowout haircut can be any length. The curls look the best when all the lengths are similar, but for a more modern look choose to go with shorter sides. A fade paired with curly lengths on top is a very popular look.

7. Blowout Taper

This blowout fade is currently very popular. The taper is very sharp and contrasts nicely with the lengths on top. The perimeter of the haircut is cut close to the skin and provides a bold appearance.

Regular visits to the barbershop or salon are required to keep up the tapered appearance. The best way to hold this hairstyle is with a medium hold product distributed evenly throughout the scalp.
 

8. Blowout Afro

A blowout Afro hairstyle is a blowout style that achieves great volume and shape. It is very important to keep the hair moisturized and protected, so investing in a good thermal protectant is a must.

Another great investment is an Afro pick comb. The comb will help direct the heat evenly throughout the hair which creates more volume. The blowout Afro style, if done properly, achieves massive height.

The best Afro style is a natural Afro style. Don’t try to control the lengths too much, let the hair go where it wants to! A natural look gives a more professional appearance.

9. Neat Blowout Comb Over

This blowout hairstyle is great in a professional setting. The blowout comb over gives a soft appearance. The hair in the font is directed one way, and the sides are combed down.

Using a comb to set the hair is a must for the neat comb over, no misplaced hairs should poke out. There has to be a bold distinction between the hair that is combed over, and the hair on the sides that is combed down.

The best way to mold the comb over is by using a low shine, medium hold product. The goal is to not make the comb over look too crispy, but to provide enough product so that it lasts throughout the entire day.

10. Undercut Blowout

The disconnected look is becoming a highly requested haircut. The undercut blowout is a style that is easy to manage. This blowout features very short sides that contrast with a longer top.

The top lengths are blown back and held using a styling product. The sides can be very short (showing a visible scalp) or just long enough to conceal it. Using a 9 row brush to set the hair back while blow drying will create a soft, desirable look.

11. Messy Hair Blowout

The messy hair blowout is a blowout style that has a ton of personality! The hair is very eccentric and the lengths fly all over the place. The secret is to keep it controlled.

A messy blowout is easy to achieve, but it is important to maintain some degree of direction in the hair. An idea for a great messy blowout is to start by air drying from the roots up in the bang area. Push or comb the bangs back as you dry.

From there you can focus on the lengths in the crown and have them go in any direction. Hold the messy blowout with a moderate amount of hairspray!

The activated texture in the crown is the main focal point in this haircut. The layered hair contrasts with the faded sides to give a sharp look. In order to get this hairstyle, ask for texture and movement in the crown from your stylist.

There should be movement in the bang/fringe area to create visual interest. Be careful not to over-texturize for this style, the overall look needs to come off as natural. Combining the soft fringe with a skin fade is a unique contrasting look that works well with many men.

3. Surgical Part

A visible line that is etched into the hairline produces a sharp image. The surgical part is almost always placed on near the temple area, but an edgier look can be achieved by placing it higher.

The surgical part honestly matches any haircut shape. It can be introduced into a fade or taper fade to add some zing, or it can be used to break up the monotony of a single length cut. A surgical part is seen as an addition to an already established side, it is not a stand alone style.

4. High And Tight Sides + Blunt Fringe

If you’re seeking short lengths and a detailed fringe, look no further. The blunt fringe outlines the face nicely, while the high bald fade highlights the perimeter. This hairstyle produces a square outline which is a desirable shape for men as it promotes masculinity.

The fringe lengths are hard and palpable. The key is to not keep the bangs too long, it will subtract from the overall squareness. The high and tight with blunt fringe is an excellent short length style.

5. Overly Textured Fringe With Short Sides

This hairstyle focuses on the, “go big or go home” attitude. The bangs in the textured french crop are left longer and are heavily textured to create tons of movement, which is good for thick hair! The bangs can be blunt, or they can sweep over to either side. All the focus will be on the fringe area.

The length needs to be longer in order to create movement. If the hair is short (especially for bangs) it is sometimes difficult to create direction. Longer hair equals more movement and more room for texturizing.

Combining the heavy blunt fringe and the mesmerizing textured crown makes for a jaw-dropping hairstyle. This textured french crop haircut has texture over the entirety of the head.

The overall look is very modern. Any short length side style can be paired with the blunt fringe and texturized crown, but if you want to keep the style fashionable choose to go with a taper fade.

The taper fade blends well into the crown. One of the best ways to showcase this cut is to highlight the difference between the crown and the fringe.

This fringe style places the focal point on the sides of the head. In the contrasting side lengths style the hair length rapidly increases. There is no tapering or fading of the sides, it jumps from one length to another creating a fascinating result.

Establishing the contrasting side lengths on the middle part of the temple is a good start. Generally, the contrasting sides do not dip down.

They tend to follow a straight line around the head which creates a square look. The fringe can be styled however you choose!

8. Curly Crop

Source: @artjompetrov via Instagram

Curls are in and so is the french crop so it naturally makes sense to combine the two. The curly crop must see curly hair in the fringe area and at least some texture in the crown. The best look comes when the side lengths are faded and the curls in the fringe are maintained.

A low fade is a safe match with the curly crop. Too much volume for the bangs will alter the hairstyle taking it out of the french crop cut niche.

A great way to get more curl activation is to run mousse throughout the hair and use a diffuser to activate them. The curly crop is an excellent crop haircut with tons of direction!

9. Drop Fade + Layered Crown

The drop fade complements the layered crown cut. The two styles combined form a pleasing appearance. The hair has an overall darker appearance due to the drop fade and the crown appears to rise seamlessly out of the back of the head.

The movement in the crown can extend towards the fringe to get maximum effect. When the hair lengths stack upon each other movement is achieved. The messy crown can be achieved by using pomade and vigorously running your fingertips throughout the crown.

10. Short Fringe + Short Sides

This french crop hairstyle resembles a modern bowl cut. The bangs are cut very short, and the sides are always faded or in a taper fade to show off the hairline. A distinguished blunt bang is one of the best ways to wear this style.

Going short all around is an excellent way to accentuate your facial features. Styling the crown is an option, but make sure not to overdo it. The focus should be on the fringe and short sides, an overly activated crown with the short lengths will tilt the balance scales.

11. Colored Crop

Adding color to the french crop haircut is a great way to spice it up. Ashy gray and platinum blond are highly sought after colours and are both excellent choices for this classic french crop haircut, but they may be difficult to achieve depending on your starting hair color.

Fashion style colors are a great choice as well. A neon green or a vibrant red would suit the style nicely.

Color is heavily dependent on your personality and should reflect who you are as a person. Wear the color with confidence!

French Crop FAQs

How can I style the French crop?

Everyone has different approaches to styling the french crop, but a nice way to get started is with a decent matte clay (pomade is fine as well, it just won’t bring out the texture as much).

Apply a small amount of product evenly throughout your hands, and begin placing it evenly throughout dry hair. Some men prefer to start at the back of their head and work their way forward to ensure that there is even coverage, but it is purely personal preference.

Once the product is in, you can begin to pick and direct the hair in the direction you want it to go.

How many times will I need to visit a hairdresser?

A french crop hairstyle will generally be touched up every three to five weeks depending on how long you are willing to let your hair grow. If you have a hair tattoo or surgical part, weekly visits may be required. It all depends on how sharp you want the outline to look.

What type of fade is best?

It is impossible to say which fade is best because everybody has different facial structures. Generally, a mid-fade is the safest option. It doesn’t sit too high on the side and it is more visible than the low fade. It is not boisterous, but it makes a statement.

How can I get my crown lengths to stay up throughout the day?

Sometimes the crown lengths will fall flat if they are not supported well enough. A modest amount of hairspray will lock the hair in place. Be careful not to spray it too close, it should mist down upon not hair, not drown it.

The key for tapping into the viking aesthetic is to revive a characteristic that made the warrior so daunting. We can’t fight the wars they fought, but we can mimic one aspect that made them so well known: the viking hairstyle.

The styles below take the generic long hair and thick beard that suits the standard Scandinavian viking and transforms them into something more presentable. The new looks create modern viking hair without appearing like an untamed savage.

The key for the best viking hairstyle is balance. Keeping everything tidy is a must. Hair, beard, and braid lengths can be long, but they must be kept tame.

The styles below are popular suggestions. They can be modified to however you see fit and satisfy every viking niche.

1. Comb Over With Beard

A stellar viking hairstyle look is easily achievable with the comb over. This men’s hairstyle has a thick viking beard on the bottom that complements the neat sweep on top.

When styling, use pomade and apply evenly throughout damp hair. Comb the bangs in the direction that you want it to go in. Make sure to comb the sides down as well.

Use your fingers if you want to achieve a more natural look. For extra volume use a blow dryer. Place the nozzle under the bangs and direct the heat upwards.The beard should be a decent length.

A stubble will not suffice if you’re aiming for a viking beard style. Keep the beard lengths clean and sharp, don’t let the untamed beard get in the way of this fantastic look! A proper comb over with a long beard style will have you feeling like you’re in the viking age!

2. Bald + Beard

This viscous style is awe inspiring. The facial hair is the main attraction and where all the focus will be placed. The balance shifts downward, all eyes will be on the viking beard style so proper maintenance is a must.

Keeping the scalp bald and growing an epic beard is also an optimal way to battle thinning hair or male pattern baldness. When growing a beard try to work with the shape of your face.

Here are some quick tips: If your face is round, focus on keeping the beard length square. This is achieved by thinning out the sides and trimming the bottom neatly. In a round face you want to keep the lengths longer at the bottom.

A longer face will have you keep the lengths shorter on the side, but situated higher up. You do not want to add length to an already long face. Basically you want to establish a nice balance, an equilibrium within your face.

3. Thin or Shaved Sides + Ponytail

Source: @rolandb95 via Instagram

The shaved sides paired with long top lengths in a ponytail is an imposing style. The absolute best way to achieve this viking haircut is to grow your hair length all around first, then work on shaving the sides.

Keeping the hair length consistent in the interim ensures that the hair is healthy and adheres to a natural growth pattern. Consistently shaving the sides while trying to grow the crown is redundant and time consuming.

Length is your best friend when it comes to this Nordic hairstyle as it allows for plenty of different styling options. A unique aspect about this style is that it does not need a beard to look good. The cut stands alone.

The addition of a long beard will accent the look, but it is definitely not a necessity. This style is achievable at home, but great care must be taken when shaving the sides. The key aspect for this style is the balance. There must be no crooked lines or razor slip ups.

Make sure to keep the hair moisturized when pulling it back. Conditioning your hair is a great way to keep it healthy, but be wary. Do not use it every day. Overuse of conditioner is a common mistake, aim to clean your hair once or twice a week.

4. Shaggy

If you want tales to be told about your legendary mane, keep it long. This men’s hairstyle focuses more on the long mane and less on the full beard. When seeking the shaggy look keep it natural.

Growing it long takes time and proper hair care is a must. As previously mentioned, some men shampoo and condition every day. If you’re looking to go for the shaggy natural look begin by changing your rinsing routine.

Shampoo strips the hair of the natural oil that it requires to grow. Depending on your hair type you should be shampooing only once or twice a week. The hair will also reach some, “awkward” stages. It is advised to see a barber or stylist to get a trim to keep the hair neat and natural. Shoulder length is an optimal length for the shaggy, and it is generally worn down.

A braid can be introduced to add some visual interest, but many men prefer the ease of wearing it down. Pairing the shaggy with a beard is a great option. Since the hair is long the beard will act more of an accent piece.

Keep the beard nicely groomed and tame. As soon as the beard becomes unruly the overall shaggy look falls to pieces as more focus is placed on the facial hair.

5. Braided/Twisted Beard + Short Sides

Source: @mogulchavis via Instagram

This is a great warrior look. The short sides make this viking hairdo tight which projects your masculinity. The braided beard style tells a story of courage, sitting majestically on your long beard ready to impress those who match your gaze.

For this style the beard length must be medium to long in length (good luck trying to braid a stubble!) Holding the beard in the braid or twist formation requires an elastic band or beard ring.

The sides of the head can be faded or tapered, it doesn’t matter just as long as the sides are blended. This is a style where emphasis is placed on the braided beard, make sure to keep the hairs properly groomed!

A beard brush is an excellent way to get rid of knots. Using beard oil sparingly will make the outline of the beard pop.

6. Mohawk + Thin Sides

This viking style is a classic and easily recognizable. The mohawk and thin sides is a good option if you do not want to throw your hair in a ponytail. The hair can remain free to be styled up.

Once again, the overall look needs to be natural. Product must be used, but the goal is to make it look as minimal as possible. Grab a low shine pomade or hair wax and apply it generously throughout the entirety of the head. A dime size should suffice.

The most volume comes from a blow dryer. Angle the nozzle in the way you want your hair to sit, and blow from the roots up. Never point the nozzle down pointing towards the scalp when sculpting the mohawk because it will flatten the hair and create chaos.

Apply a modest amount of low shine hairspray and let the hair rest. A crispy looking mohawk is not ideal when it comes to a viking look. Practice makes perfect when it comes to this style. Taking the proper time will ensure an outstanding style that is bound to impress.

7. Man Bun + Undercut

The fierce man bun is enhanced when an undercut is etched in. When your long locks are wrapped in the man bun they should nestle cozily just above the nape. Too much weight will bring it down, a low man bun is not desirable and looks sloppy.

The addition of the undercut allows hair freedom to express itself. When it comes to beards any style is acceptable. A close stubble projects the facial features and is one of the most common types of beards that is matched with the undercut.

Opting to go with a longer viking beard is an option, but do not let it get unruly. The beard should be in balance with the overall look. A properly executed man bun with an undercut should portray an image of elegance and ferocity. This style radiates confidence.

8. Long Braids + Beard

Source: @charlesandrade1986 via Instagram

Long braided hair on men gives an impressingly barbaric aesthetic. Matching it with a full beard is the ultimate viking look. Overlapping strands of hair travelling from the fringe to the nape create this braided hairstyle, it is not for the faint of heart! Rocking this look requires the lengths to be smooth and manageable.

The most natural and easy look has braids follow a straight line. The sides in this style look best when they conform with the lengths on top. The shaggy can be transformed into the long braids. Braiding takes time meaning this style is not for men who are constantly in a rush.

Viking Hair FAQs

Are there any secrets to growing long hair?

Growing hair takes time! A big key is to manage stress levels, drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet. How you treat yourself is a big factor in how your hair will look. If the body is under stress, the hair will pause from its growth cycle.

How can I make my beard thicker?

A non-plastic beard comb is recommended to tame the hairs. A wide tooth comb will separate hairs nicely. Start from the bottom of the beard and work your way up and out, this will provide the appearance of a “fuller” and more rugged beard. Beard oil can be used to accentuate the look as well. It all comes to personal preference when products are involved, and experimentation is key.

I can’t decide on a style, which one is best for me?

If you’re having a difficult time choosing a hairstyle, it might be wise to seek out help from a barber or hairstylist. They will look at the shape of your face and offer guidance.

The disconnected undercut man bun look provides a hipster-esque look. All the hair is swept back and wrapped in a neat bun near the back of the crown.

The lengths need to be longer in the top for this style to work. Keeping the sides one length provides a regal look while tapering or fading gives it a more fashionable style.

2. Quiff

A great voluminous style, the quiff satisfies many desires when it comes to hairstyles. It enhances the overall look of the facial features without being too exuberant.

The quiff style needs to have a defined fringe that is either swept over or styled up. Bald side lengths do not match well with the quiff.

A basic quick quiff look can be achieved with a blowdryer and some product. Apply mousse thoroughly throughout damp hair, and blowdry with medium heat in the direction you want the length to sit. Make sure to blow from the roots up to create the most volume.

Hold the quiff in place with hairspray. A quiff undercut projects a very sharp image.

3. Disconnected Combover

Source: @thegentlemennick via Instagram

The disconnected comb over is the edgier version of the regular comb over. The sharp sides can be in a faded haircut form, taper faded or stay one uniform length. T

he sides contrast nicely with the longer hair lengths on top to give a jarring appearance that is pleasant to look at. The disconnect can be sharp by having a deep cut near the part line or just be barely visible for a more contemporary look.

When styling the combover it is essential that you keep the hair neat. Messy hair will ruin a good comb over. Add a medium hold product (preferably with some shine) throughout your hair, then comb it slowly in the direction you want it to go.

For volume at the fringe comb up then over while applying heat. Thick hair may be hard to settle down, so extra products may be used.

4. Disconnected Long Swept Over

Source: @wa11y_d via Instagram

The long hair swept over juxtaposed by the short sides is an absolutely striking style that will have heads turning. The hair sweeps over like a waterfall in one direction showcasing your luxurious hair.

Longer hair is required to rock this style, there needs to be a distinct flowing motion that short hair doesn’t achieve.

The best way to wear the long swept over look is to wear it neat. Tons of messy and wispy hair will disrupt the aesthetic. The hair needs to arc over in one uninterrupted motion.

The best looking swept over look requires a brush and blowdryer to set the hair, and a clay or pomade to hold. A matching long beard is a great addition to the disconnected long swept over look, the long hair on the bottom matching the longer hair on top is a dramatic hairstyle.

5. Slicked back

Probably one of the most iconic disconnected undercut looks. The disconnected slick back is akin to what Brad Pitt donned in the action movie Fury.

This sharp look provides the ultimate contrasted look. The shorter that the sides are cut, the more edgier the haircut will appear. To style, begin by brushing the hair that you want to slick back towards the crown. The hair should be damp.

Once a direction has been established, begin drying with a blow dryer and start and the back, combing the ends down as you dry. The hair might floof up when it is dry, but running an ample amount of pomade throughout the hair will calm it down. The slicked back style is difficult to achieve with thick hair and curly hair.

6. Spike Blowout

Placing tons of volume on top is an excellent way to create interest. The hair lengths need to be longer for this style to work, and a proper blowout requires the use of a blow dryer.

The blowout is unique because everybody puts their own personal spin on the style. When getting your haircut to match the spike blowout, ask for layers that stack upon each other, or point cutting.

The more texturizing that the stylist does the more “spikiness” there will be! An easy way to get the spiked blowout style is to blow dry damp hair from the roots up.

Once the hair is dry, mold the style with pomade or wax using your fingers. Using a brush whilst blow-drying will amplify the style tremendously. The disconnected hair on tops pairs nicely with a taper fade on the side.

7. Pompadour

The pompadour is an elegant style that has volume placed at the fringe. The lengths do not have to be extra long, a pompadour look is doable as a short hairstyle The pompadour looks best when it is organized.

If you are going for a messy look, follow suit and keep all the lengths disorganized. If you’re seeking the neat look, make sure all the hair is properly set with no strands poking out.

Consistency is key for the undercut pompadour. This style is high maintenance and for good reason. As long as there is volume and lift in the fringe area you will get the pompadour aesthetic.

An undercut taper or undercut fade haircut matches the pompadour style nicely. The gradual increase of lengths in the taper complements the overall style.

8. Twists

The disconnected hair paired with twists provides the wearer a look that is timeless and sharp. The overall form takes on a square shape providing a masculine haircut.

The tight short sides match nicely with the longer twists on top. A safe starting length for the sides is about 1/4” in length or 6mm, but opting to rock a skin fade is also a great choice!

The twists on the top hair provide freedom. Styling can be however you choose. A standard style is to wear them up, but they can follow a multitude of directions. Experimentation is crucial when it comes to the twists. Some men prefer to have them arc over to one side or both!

9. Undercut Braids

The visual appearance that braids give is unparalleled. Combined with the undercut gives this style a gallant look. The braids should be established near the hair recession line (widest part of the forehead) and not any lower.

Opting to rock a braid comes with a plethora of style freedom. The braids can extend all the way down the head, they can stop at the crown and form a man bun with the remaining free lengths, or they can be a nice addition to an already established haircut.

One drawback is that the hair length needs to be longer. Extra care must be taken with the hair as well. It will be twisted and pulled, so keeping the hair properly moisturized is an excellent idea.

10. Disconnected Curly

Introducing curly hair into the disconnection gives a distinct look. The curls add a smidgen of chaos that creates lots of visual interest. The best way to achieve a messy curly look is to diffuse wet hair because the diffuser attachment allows the hair to dry in a wavy pattern.

Simultaneously scrunching and relaxing the hair while diffusing produces the most natural curly texture. The disconnected curly on the top hair is generally matched with a fade, it is a very popular look.

Disconnected Undercut FAQs

What side length matches best with these styles?

There are three options: fading, tapering or keeping the lengths a uniform length. Fading is very popular right now with the bald fade being chosen the most. Tapering provides a modern appeal. The uniform lengths on the side are usually paired with the slicked back, as it matches seamlessly.

How much product do I need to apply to my hair to make it stay?

When it comes to men’s grooming, knowing how to properly use products is essential. The goal is to get hair that sticks without looking like it is caked with product. Scooping your index and middle finger inside the container roughly gives a dime-size amount of product which is ample for most hair types. Rub the product vigorously throughout your palms to activate it. Product placement is the most important, it needs to be established throughout the entirety of the head not just the areas you want to style.

What is a good styling brush?

The Denman 9 row brush is an excellent choice when it comes to styling with a blow dryer, it allows for quick drying and builds volume. When wanting to add extra bounce to your hair look into a round brush like this Conair Pro Hair Brush as well. When properly used the two combine for killer styles.

The mullet is a flexible style and can fit with a variety of different cuts in the fringe. A combination form haircut is simply two haircuts combined on one head and is a current hair fashion trend.

To keep the mullet aesthetic, the hair has to be longer in the back and nape area and the hair must drape downwards. Other than that there is unlimited opportunity to style the fringe.

An excellent example of a combination mullet is achieved when the front hair is styled up. The hair in the fringe area can be styled to achieve a pompadour look, flat top style, or a messy jumble just to name a few.

The mullet hairstyle addition in the back allows for unlimited styling opportunities in the front. Creativity is key when it comes to the combination mullet!

4. Mullet With Hair Tattoo

The term hair tattoo is daunting, but it is simply a design that is etched into the hair by the use of clippers or razors.

Generally the hair tattoo is placed around the temple and nape area, forming an intricate design that is appealing to the eyes. The mullet haircut combined with a hair tattoo allows for absolute creative freedom.

The only limit is how well your stylist or barber can pull the hairstyle off (some may politely refuse). Simple lines dancing alongside jagged edges in the hairline contrast smoothly with the loud and boisterous mullet.

One downside is that hair tattoos grow in very quickly. If you are blessed with a good design that you love, you will need to visit your hair artist on a weekly basis to get it touched up.

Mullet FAQs

What defines a mullet hairstyle?

As long as the hair is short in the front and sides with the hair being noticeably long in the back the mullet look is achieved.

Will a mullet suit my facial features?

Mullets are an anomaly. One would think it should look silly! The loose definition of a mullet is basically, “business in the front, party in the back”. How would a haircut with that description ever look good? The crazy answer is, honestly, it just does. The people who don the mullet are confident and poised which contributes to the aesthetic.

You must not be ashamed to wear the mullet, or it will not look good on you. Own the mullet, and you will find it matches your face quite well. If you are tentative about rocking the mullet, it might not be the best fit for you.

How long does it take to grow a mullet?

Generally a mullet will take about six months to a year to grow out the lengths in the back. A mullet can generally start to be formed once the back lengths reach about two inches.

Is a blow dryer really a necessity for the mullet?

No. The blow dryer is not a necessity. However, by omitting the blow dryer when styling you are severely limiting your styling options. The blow dryer is used to quickly set the hair and to add volume which elevates the mullet to the next level.

Opting for finger-styling only is a fine choice, but to get the most out of your mullet definitely look into purchasing a blow dryer and learning how to use it properly. It is a small investment that pays out immense dividends in the future if you’re a fan of grooming.

Regular visits to barber shops or salons are required to keep the lengths at an appropriate level, but many of these cuts are doable at home. The use of a hair clipper is generally used to achieve the close styles.

Military haircuts are also a great way to highlight your facial features, especially if you decide to rock facial hair! All the haircuts listed below lack bangs so your face is greatly projected.

The styles are also greatly optimized as they are not avant-garde in any way and provide the wearer both security and versatility.

1. High and Tight

If you’re looking for a signature army haircut, look no further. The high and tight is the ultimate military style haircut.

This style has a commanding presence and appears to almost stand out on its own. The shaved sides are remarkably short, the remaining top lengths are snipped very close to the scalp just barely longer than the sides.

The higher that the hair is shaved on the sides, the tighter the haircut will be. A high fade is a military fade for this army style men’s haircut and will have you feeling like a military man in no time.

2. Crew Cut

The crew cut paired with tapered sides provides a dazzling look. The hair length in the fringe is a tad longer, but as it progresses to the crown it transitions into a shorter length seamlessly blending into the sides and back.

Keeping the fringe long is a must if you desire to style the hair in a certain direction. The sides are connected where the head rounds, giving a perfect blend.

The hair is tapered as the length progresses down towards the cheek. The tapered sides allow for a more contemporary and professional look. You can opt for a low fade as well. It matches the military aesthetic and follows the contour of the head which produces a nice men’s cut.

If you want to rock some facial hair, adding a well groomed beard solidifies the army crew cut look.

3. Buzzhawk

Making the sides shorter than the fringe will add some ingenuity to the buzz cut. The buzzhawk is tight around the ears and arguably projects the facial features more than the bread-and-butter buzzcut.

The sides are all cut one length, preferably one guard length to one and a half guard length shorter than the top. Basically, if you went with a 3 guard on the fringe area you would take a 2 or a 2.5 on the sides.

The buzzhawk mimics a mohawk, the outline being noticeable and flashy. The buzzhawk is a sharp military haircut.

4. Spiked Fringe

The contrast between wearing a spiked front and uniform hair length sides creates textual interest to those looking at it. This style takes minimal effort!

To achieve the spiked look, just push the front lengths up with your hand or comb and hold it with your favourite product. The more texture that is placed into the fringe the sharper the cut will be.

Choices may vary from person to person. Some men only want the front texturized, but the option to texturize to the crown is there as well. Going with a skin fade on the sides is another option and it will definitely draw attention to this military hairstyle.

A skin fade also defines the top hair as well. A properly styled spiked fringe projects an image of power and authority. A stubble beard matches the spiked fringe and is an excellent choice if you want to look more militarized.

5. Ivy league

The military ivy league haircut is very similar to the crew cut, the main difference being that the hair is longer in the front and sides. The longer hair in the front allows for it to be styled to the left or right.

In addition, the sides are also blended into the top to give an all around regal and professional look. A low fade or a high fade can be established to man this a contemporary men’s haircut. If you are not a fan of how short the crew cut is, go with the ivy league.

This look is timeless and can be a great military haircut.

6. Uniform Buzz Cut

A crisp, uniform buzz cut is a staple military hairstyle, it is also known as an induction cut. The hair length is the same all around the head.

If you decide to wear the buzz cut style, your eyes will appear to “pop” since the hair is so short the facial features are greatly exaggerated. If you have a strong square jawline this is the absolute perfect haircut for you.

Any clipper guard less than or exactly 2 is the best bet when going for a uniform buzz cut. The shorter the guard used, the less hair remains on the head.

Since a guard is used it ensures equal length around. There will be no tapering or fading of the sides.

One of the benefits of a buzz cut is that it is relatively easy to do at home and there are plenty of videos available on the internet that demonstrate how to do it properly.

If you’re going to add a beard, make sure that it is well groomed. A messy beard displaces the look.

7. Burr Cut

The burr cut is a safe version of the buzz/induction cut as it preserves the most length.

To achieve a burr cut, slap a 3 or 4+ guard on your clippers and remove the length. The look is very similar to the buzz cut, but many people prefer the burr over the buzz because the scalp isn’t as visible.

Some men have protrusions on their scalp that jut out when the hair is cut too short. Make sure to feel around your scalp and pay close attention to the back of the head before cutting short!

Remember, you can always go shorter in length, but never longer. If you are deciding whether to go for a buzz or a burr, start with longer lengths and work down from that.

The burr cut pairs nicely with a beard or stubble and it definitely adds to the army aesthetic. Another way to spice up the burr cut is to introduce a low fade or a skin fade on the sides.

The fade and facial hair combo is a knockout. Combined with the burr cut for the top hair it produces a high grade military style haircut.

8. Comb Over With Faded Sides

The comb over isn’t much of a gamble as it is a cut that looks good on everyone. The typical comb over generally has longer length in the front that makes a well defined sweeping motion, but you’ll be able to pull off a military version of this haircut if you keep the front length short.

To really solidify this army haircut, have your sides skin faded. The military fade addition on the sides makes the haircut square and masculine. If you don’t want to skin fade, a mid fade or a high fade matches nicely.

A medium length beard that adheres to grooming standards really promotes the comb over.

A comb over does require styling products to stay in place. A pomade is a great choice and is easy to use because a dollop of product is all that is needed. Make sure to apply the pomade evenly in damp hair, then style it in the direction you want the hair to lie.

9. Flat Top

Square is a masculine shape for men, and the flat top is as square as haircuts come. The absolute best way to showcase the flat top is to keep the sides clippered as close to the skin as possible, thus all the attention is drawn to the front.

A clean looking flattop has the lengths graduated from longest in the fringe to shortest in the nape. However, if you’re looking to make a statement, keep the lengths uniform.

A flattop is difficult to achieve solo so it is best advised to visit a barber. Creating the square outline takes time and precision is needed. Pomade and hairspray are your allies, use them to hold the flat top in place. A crisp flattop is a men’s hairstyle that definitely delivers on the military aesthetic.

10. Short Undercut

A short military undercut is an excellent option if you’re looking for attention. Establishing a “hard part” on the side that fades down is the optimal choice if you’re chasing the military look. The fringe length for the undercut style must be kept longer, the hair needs freedom to sweep over or to sweep back. If you have curly hair this is an excellent choice for a men’s hairstyle The dichotomy between the short lengths on the side and long lengths on the top defines the piercing undercut. Heads will turn when you decide to don the short undercut since it projects a confident aura.

Military Haircut FAQs

Do I need to purchase hair products if my hair is short?

No. One of the benefits of these men’s haircuts is the lack of styling products. Using a little bit of wax or pomade will help if you want the lengths to stick up, but if the hair length is miniscule don’t even worry about it.

How difficult are these cuts if I am cutting it at home?

Many of these cuts are achievable at home. If you are trying to be frugal I would definitely look into attempting the buzz cut styles yourself.

Attempting the fades and blending techniques requires practice, so for styles requiring those seeing a hair stylist is recommended because it is difficult to get a good blend.

The buzz styles are straightforward, they are perfect to begin with. See the tutorial below:

Do I need to shampoo and condition everyday?

No! Depending on your hair and scalp type shampooing should only be done once or twice a week, conditioning can be done the same amount or more, depending on how you like your hair.

Be wary of the shampoo and conditioner hybrids (2 in 1). They often leave the scalp dry and irritated, and with short hair that is the last thing you should be worrying about.

If you’re looking for a healthier scalp you need to invest in both a high quality shampoo and conditioner.

If I am shaving my hair at home what clippers should I use?

If you’re looking for quality cuts, the Andis Master Cordless is an amazing purchase. This clipper is not bulked down by any chords and smoothly glides over the scalp. They can be a little pricey though.

If you’re looking to save money, Wahl also offers great clippers as well that are easier on the wallet. A DIY haircut kit can be found on Amazon here.

For the sides, the fade style is in! A fade is basically hair length graduation from longer lengths to shorter, the hair appears to “fade” in from nowhere. It rivals the taper fade.

The fade is currently an insanely popular request and is dominating black men hairstyles, it fits a multitude of different haircuts and provides the wearer accessibility as many of the styles can be worn for both work and play.

Black men’s hair requires proper moisture to stay healthy. Some of black men hairstyles below rely on tension to get the desired look. Make sure to deep condition and moisturize when trying new styles to keep your natural hair healthy!

1. Uniform Buzz Cut

The buzz cut is a timeless haircut. Easy to sport and simple to maintain, this short hair style simply adds elegance to the wearer. The facial features will be greatly accentuated which provides a masculine aesthetic.

The short hair is one length all over the entire scalp. Keeping the haircut vanilla and not adding any fades or tapers allows the hair to hug the head which projects a professional appearance. The uniform buzz cut is both easy on the wallet and easy on the eyes.

The addition of a beard, or well groomed facial hair definitely amplifies the uniform buzz cut look by adding another dimension. See our article on the best beard styles for black men.

2. Buzz With High Fade

Fades look excellent on all natural hair types, so introducing a high fade haircut to the short hair on top is a stellar haircut combination that is currently very popular.

The buzz with a high fade is an overall short hairstyle and is perfect to combat the summer heat.

Make sure that the fade line is straight and doesn’t dip down. The key is to find a patient stylist. Ensuring that the line is straight makes for a sharp transition and palpable square outline which is very desirable.

3. Drop Fade

The drop fade haircut is a blessing. Itt matches almost any haircut type and can blend seamlessly into any style on top. The drop fade follows the contours of the head. The outline begins its journey near the temples and travels around to the back of the head, dipping down just below to ear only to resurge again.

This fade is an excellent choice if there are any ridges or bumps near the back of the head that need covering up. The drop fade is a safe style choice as it can match any hairstyle on the top. The opportunities are endless with the drop fade.

4. Cornrows

The cornrow style will never fizzle out. The tight intricate braiding on the scalp is the result of time and passion.

The cornrow is essentially scalp artwork. Simple lines extending from the fringe to the nape create this amazing style. Deciding to go with the cornrow is an easy decision.

The most important factor is finding a proper stylist. Braiding is an elaborate process and a skilled hand is absolutely necessary to achieve the elegant look. Long hair is easier to cornrow, but short hair is doable as well.

The sides look sharpest with a skin fade and adding a beard or facial hair is an extra style choice. The beard can follow the cornrow fashion and be wrapped in braids. The longer beard style suits any face shape.

5. Line Up

The line up is possibly one of the hottest trends on the market right now as it edges out the natural hairline only to replace it with razor sharp straight lines. The finished outline represents a square that is visually appealing. The line up focuses more so on the perimeter, but it can blend into the top and sides.

The line up can be matched with many haircuts, but it is commonly seen with shorter to medium length hair. A great example is to pair the line up with the short all over haircut, the result is a piercingly sharp do.

6. High Top High Fade

Short sides combined with a long top is the best way to describe a high top. This look is a classic. The contrast between the faded sides and upright hair makes for an aesthetically pleasing haircut that is perfect for everyday wear.

The faded sides definitely make this haircut stand out, with a skin fade being the optimal choice. The shorter the hair length, the “tighter” the overall look will be, especially around the ears.

7. Curly Afro

It is hard to pinpoint exactly what makes curly hair so desirable. The texture is unique and the natural curls seem to have a personality of their own. The curly afro is a game changer for many men.

It makes the face glow. The curly afro is best worn at short to medium length. This haircut can be worn with tapered, faded, or layered sides. A curly hair afro fade provides a strong appearance.

Choosing to go with a low fade makes the hairstyle appear longer. The low fade is great for any face shape. Opting to go with a high skin fade makes the cut square and tight as it shows the most skin, thus highlighting your facial features.

Keeping the sides short makes this haircut modern. A longer beard is an excellent match for the curly afro becasue it accents any face shape nicely.

8. Sponge Twists

The sponge twists look uses a hair sponge to get curly hair. It is a unique style that is currently trending. The key in achieving a healthy twist haircut is to keep the hair clean prior to applying the curling product by shampooing and rinsing thoroughly.

Once the hair is almost dry begin running either a pomade or curl cream throughout the hair. The goal is to get even distribution over the entirety of the head. Using the hair sponge, vigorously rotate your hand in a circular motion to activate the curly hair.

For extra moisture apply a leave in conditioner prior to using the holding product.

A good wave takes commitment, but patience pays off when it comes to this haircut. The medium fade is an excellent option for the sides because it augments the waves on top, making them appear to pop.

Quality waves come from a quality brush. Don’t skimp on products when it comes to the wave. If your natural hair is untrained, regular visits to the barber must be established to train and cut the hair. Thick hair may require regular brushing to lay down properly.

The wave cut pairs nicely with a well groomed longer length beard.

10. Dreadlocks With Bald Fade

Dreads are an imposing men’s hairstyle that draw attention to the silhouette of the face. The dreadlocks with a bald fade is a modern look that is trending. The juxtaposition of the short hair on the sides and the long thick hair on top is vital for the style.

Keeping the top length in the medium to medium long range is optimal. If the hair is too long on top it subtracts from the overall look.

11. Mohawk With Burst Fade

The burst mohawk fade cut is a striking hairstyle. The two styles combined form a sharp crescent on the head. In this hairstyle the hair appears to emerge from the nape, rise to its apex in the crown, then settle back down in the fringe area, mimicking a sunrise and sunset.

The burst fade features a burst fade around the perimeter of the hairline, softening the overall look. The mohawk can also pair with a taper fade as well that preserves some length. A low taper fade will match the mohawk nicely, as it adheres to the overall crescent shape. This is a striking men’s hairstyle.

12. Surgical Part (Hard Line)

A surgical line (or hard line) can be introduced to the sides of the head to add visual interest.

Creativity is a must when going with the surgical part and keen eyes and steady hands are definitely required. Surgical parts can range from simple lines that are cut in effortlessly, or long design lines that weave in and out from each other.

Facial hair can also have a surgical line cut into the natural lengths for a jarring appearance. The simplest way is to etch straight lines into the beard. Do not overdo it, or the lines will take away from the overall hairstyle.

Most hairstyles involve keeping the locks on top slightly longer compared to those on the sides and back, and that is preferred for a good course.

This brings us to this superb Ryan Reynolds hairstyle. It seems that he has mastered the art of designing the hair on top, as it appears trendy and fancy. In this haircut, he makes the fancy locks on top to swirl and then pairs them with a flawless fade on the sides to complete the entire look.

Though Ryan Reynolds doesn’t predominately rock this hairstyle, it is one among his fashionable haircuts that leave people dumbfounded by its elegance and charm. It is a very stylish and chic look that incorporates chopping the hair short to come up with textured bangs. As the rule of thumb for most of his haircuts, the back and the sides are kept short compared to the top. To complete the style, the locks on top are upswept to create a messy pattern. This is more suited for informal occasions, though you can still tame the texture on top and wear it for informal occasions.

The brilliant glow in this Ryan Reynolds haircut is the first thing that will attract your attention since it makes the hair appear healthy and flattering. Ryan also incorporates an elegant cut with beautiful bangs on top and complements them with tapered sides and back. And to make his haircut distinct, he upsweeps the locks in the front for some lift and dimension.

What Is the Ryan Reynolds Hairstyle?

Ever since the release of the Deadpool four years back (to be precise in 2016), Ryan Reynolds has become a household name. There are no signs of going back for this Hollywood A-list comedian virtuoso. However, his contribution has not been limited to acting only, but he has given us some of the iconic short haircuts, popularly known as Ryan Reynolds haircuts.

The Ryan Reynolds cut is a chic and sophisticated combination of hip crop haircut and conventional military buzz cut. Some people refer to these Reynolds hairstyles as “The Chop.” Well, the style exists in different lengths and rocked in a plethora of ways. The typical method of creating Ryan Reynolds haircut is leaving slightly longer hair on top of the head and clipping the hair to the scalp, both on the sides and bottom of your head.

In most cases, Ryan Reynolds rocks his extremely textured locks in a “just out of bed” look. Essentially, messy hairstyles are easy to style and ridiculously low maintenance. Besides, there are some times when this A-list star rocks slightly extended styles with hair slicked to the back.

Whenever you decide to don Ryan Reynolds cut, you cannot exhaust ways to rock this notoriously versatile look. All men are A-grade candidates for Ryan Reynolds haircut. Being as versatile in styling as it can be, Ryan Reynolds haircut can be donned for both formal and informal settings.

Whether you need a haircut for a wedding or a Friday night out, one of Ryan Reynolds haircuts will make an excellent fit. The haircut can be styled shaggy or slicked back by use of gel, pomade or styling cream.

Who Should Wear a Ryan Reynolds Haircut?

The Ryan Reynolds hairstyle might be an ideal cut for you if you want to rock a short style that offers you numerous styling options. However, before you get this look, you would want to consider the following aspects:

1. Regular Haircut Appointments

Short buzzed cuts might be easy to create, but they need some regular upkeep. To keep your haircut looking great, you should pay a visit to your stylist at least every two to three weeks.

2. Wash and Go

Though Reynolds haircut needs frequent upkeep, its day-to-day maintenance is like taking a walk in the park. By designs, this cut is all about creating a messy look, implying that it appears amazing even if you don’t style it. Most guys rock that ‘just come out bed’ look.

3. Face Your Shape

Thought Ryan Reynolds haircut is ideal for most men, guys with specific face shapes look great on it. To be precise, the cut is suited for folks with diamond, round and oval face shapes. The haircut per se is square-shaped, so diamond, round, and oval-shaped faces provide the perfect balance of curves to complete this style. If you have a square-shaped face or face shapes with prominent angles in the jawline, you would want to modify your cut slightly to benefit from it. The Ryan cut might appear too extreme on guys with angular faces. To reduce this undesirable effect, tell your stylist to round the edges around the fade.

4. Hair Types

The Ryan Reynolds cut is ideal for most types of hair. Whether you have straight, wavy, or curly locks, you can rock Reynolds haircut comfortably.

5. Check Your Hairline

The shape of your hairline is an essential feature to consider when evaluating your suitability for Ryan Reynolds haircut. The haircut is meant for straight, angular shapes. As such, guys with straight hairline stands a better chance of rocking this look compared to those with curved hairline.

Conclusion

1. Mid-Textured Hair Hi-Top

@bmadden59

In most cases, black African hair is full of texture. However, it won’t cost you anything to add a little more texture to your locks to rock this look. To rock this style, start by creating an undercut on the sides and leave medium length hair on top. The undercut should be gradually transformed into a skin fade as it approaches the occipital bone.

Finally, use a sleek water pomade to add more texture to the long hair on top. This style looks great with a clean and sharp hairline.

2. Long Top with Artistic Back

@a.woodcuts

What if you want something that will make you look unique? Well, if you have extremely long hair, that will be pretty like taking a walk in the park. Long hair and designs work perfectly together to give you a praiseworthy style.

To rock this look, grow out your hair to three to four inches long and shave the hair on the sides and back. Leave the hair on top as it is but trim it to give it some shape. Complete your look by drawing designs at the back. You can also draw them on the sides, it all depends on where you want to draw attention to. Either way, you will have a bombshell look.

3. High Top Mohawk Style

@donclubking

Mohawk is an excellent example of funky styles, and black men mostly rock it. The best thing about the Mohawk is a myriad of ways you can style it. For instance, in this look, it is styled with a high top, ending slightly above the nape of the neck.

This radical hairstyle is paired with faded sides. To rock a standout look, it is recommended to match your hi-top Mohawk look with a long beard. This gives you a look worthy of stealing the show wherever you go. Also, make sure to tell your barber to give you a clean and tidy hairline to open up your face and reveal your best facial features.

4. Curly High Top Fade with Surgical Line

@barbeariallves

The main reason why high top hairstyles have managed to stay for so long is that all men can rock them regardless of their hair type. For example, this hairstyle is styled on thick hair, where the fading drops below the crown and immediately faded into the skin.

This is a clean and neat haircut, and it looks amazing when observed from the back where the skin fading is quite prominent.

6. Classic Hi-Top Fade

@barbearia.ddione

The classic hi-top fade doesn’t include a lot of sophistication. As such, this is the easiest high top fade haircut to style. The haircut involves creating a low taper fade and trimming the medium length hair on top to give it some volume.

Technically, it is the shaping and combing of this hairstyle that makes it unique. In addition, a clean hairline plays an essential role in opening up the face, so that much attention is drawn on the facial features rather than the hair on the top.

7. Voluminous Flat Top with a Fade

@haircreatedbysophie_

This hi-top fade is best described using two words; clean and neat. The hairstyle features plenty of hair length on top with sharply trimmed edges that give the style an asymmetrical look. To make the hair on top even more distinctive, the haircut is paired with a high fade cut.

So if you are searching for something tidy and neat, you can’t go past this haircut. However, it is not recommended to wear it with a beard, unless you are ready to groom them like the hair on top!

8. Classy Hi-Top Fade With Shade Enhancement

@mrjeffjohnson

Want to look like the boss you are? Well, with the right high top fade, you can accomplish that effortlessly. In this hairstyle, the area around the temple is perfectly tapered, while the region around the occipital bone is styled into a clean fade cut. 

The faded sides connect seamlessly with the beard. If you need something more daring, you can highlight the hair on top or the beard with gray tints.

9. Quiff Pompadour Hi-Top Fade Haircut

@labarbosi_barbershopbacau

The quiff and pompadour hairstyles are two rudimentary haircuts rocked by men across the world. The best thing about these hairstyles is numerous ways in which you can rock them.  Think about what you get when you combine three phenomenal hairstyles to rock it as one hairstyle? Undoubtedly, the look is something out of this world.

Pompadour, quiff and high top fade is the latest trend right now. If you like the stylish look, choose this hairstyle. To style it, starting by fading the hair on the sides, starting from the middle of your head downwards. Finish the style by trimming the hair on top at the same length, but leave slightly longer hair in the front and comb it to the back. You are good to go!

This style looks great when sported with a tattoo on the faded side or the neck, but without a beard.

10. Natural Style with Half Razor Part

@360kent

This is a radical hairstyle created from natural manes. In this high top haircut, the back and the top are left extended and perfectly cut to offer the correct edges. To complete the look, a high fade is incorporated on the sides, and then a part is created using a razor, starting from the front and ending at the occipital bone. A clean hairline is a must in this haircut.

This is a great style for younger guys as it looks too youthful. When it comes to maintenance, you would want to visit your barber regularly for touchups to keep the shape.

11. Added Touch of Blonde

@curlsponge

Blonde is and remains one of the most preferred hair shade. So if you want to transform the look of your hair, then blonde will serve you better. When used on the hi-top fade, the attention will be drawn on your hair rather than your facial features.

To rock this look, start by fading the hair on the sides. For a bolder look, fade the hair to the skin around the skin and along the nape of your neck. Finish the look by incorporating a blonde tone into your black locks. The bucolic blonde shade highlights the hair on the top, creating a contrasting look and breathing a new life to your hair.

12. Retro Hi-Top Fade Haircut

@lgbarberia

This is a modern twist on the standard pomp look. The hairstyle is achieved by styling long hair in the front and trimming it short but flat towards the back. It is a great look for guys who need something different from the usual hi-top fade.

13. Artistic With Dreadlocks Hi-Top Fade

@vittorbrazz

This is another funky variation of high top fade, and probably it won’t be the last one since, with the hi-top fade, everything is possible. In this hairstyle, the long hair on top is styled into short dreads, and the sides are faded starting from the middle of the head.

For a more classic and standout look, the designs are included on the shaved sides, and this makes the haircut more prominent. Like the most hi-top fade cuts, a clean hairline is a must in this style. It looks great when worn without a beard.

14. Blown-Out Straight Pomp

@juninho_barberstyle

If you want to understand the right definition of sophistication and elegance, tell your barber to give you this hi-top fade variation cut. In this hairstyle, the pomp sits perfectly on top with a lot of texture to enhance shine.

The textured pomp is then paired with an edgy fade on the sides and back that gives a clear distinction between the two regions. This hairstyle also looks great when matched with a well-groomed beard, and this makes the disconnection between the top hair and sides more noticeable.

15. Nappy Hi-Top Fade

@vittorbrazz

If you are looking for a frizzy look, then you should opt for this nappy style. This hairstyle is characterized by a messy high top fade that adds attitude to the style. The neat and tidy high fade draws attention to the facial features and the front.

For a more prominent look, shave your beard such that there is little to no facial hair. This is an excellent look for folks who like stylish but casual styles.

16. Multi-Level Hi-Top Fade

@national_barbers_association

What if instead of having one level on your hi-top fade, you add one, two or more levels? This will undoubtedly, give you a funky haircut worthy admiring. The levels add dimension and depth to the entire haircut.

To rock this style, start by fading the sides and back, leaving long hair on top. Next, sculpt the hair on top into specific shapes to come up with a standout asymmetrical style. If you want to pair this style with a beard, make sure that you fade the hair into the skin around the ears and the nape. This will give a distinctive part between the hi-top and the beard.

17. V-Line Hi-Top Fade

@laclasica_salonmasculino

Everyone can rock a hi-top fade haircut, but this one is not for the faint in heart. With this hairstyle, your stylist will style a V-cut design and outline it with a sharp line. However, though the V-cut line usually is cut at the back where the fading starts, you can design it away from the long hair.

The manes on the sides and back gradually fade into the skin along the nape of the neck, but the hair around the ears is not faded into the skin. Apart from hi-top fade, the V-cut design looks great with many other haircuts.

18. Comb-Over Hi-Top Fade with Hard Part

@mokoymenswear

The high top fade cut looks suave with many hairstyles, but it seems even more dramatic and elegant when matched with a comb-over. Many reasons make a comb-over the best style when combined with a hi-top fade. Firstly, you can incorporate diagonal bangs in order to add texture to your hair. 

Secondly, you can manipulate your comb-over and rock different looks whenever you want. For instance, you can rock it with the hair swept to the sides or front. Besides, you can pair it with a middle fade or low fade and still look great.

19. Combed Back Hi-Top Fade Haircut

@hairbyara

Most hi-top fade hairstyles are polished and neat, and some men may find it challenging when looking for something dramatic and casual. If you need a casual look, then this is the right haircut you should opt for.

This swept-back high top style exudes that ‘I just woke up’ vibe. The hairstyle incorporates the volume of a traditional combed-back haircut, and when matched with a top fade, it offers you just the right amount of ‘shagginess.’ East to style and wear, this haircut will leave everyone wondering how you managed to rock such a seamless look!

20. Undercut Flat Top High Fade Haircut

@_barber_shop_styles

Having been donned by notable persons such as Brad Pitt and Beck, there is no doubt that the undercut fade is one of the trendiest hairstyles in the world. Perhaps, it has secured its place in the haircuts hall of fame!

This haircut incorporates mid to longer-length locks on top. The most amazing thing is that the top manes can be styled in a variety of ways. For instance, you can style it swept back, loose, or just top it off with a neat top fade extending to the sides and back.

21. Burst Hi-Top Fade Style

@curlsponge

If you want to rock something funky, but you don’t want to choose fauxhawk because you think it is too bold, you can opt for a less bold haircut such as the burst hairstyle and enjoy the same benefits you would have enjoyed if you chose the fauxhawk hi-top fade haircut.

With this hairstyle, extended locks are styled running from the front to the center where it gets wider and then tapers as it approaches the nape of the neck. The hair on the sides is then faded to make the top hair more prominent. If you can grow out a beard, you can pair your burst hi-top cut with it and rock a phenomenal style worthy imitating.

22. Bald Hi-Top Fade Haircut

@fadegod_izzybladez

I know you would not want to use the word ‘bald’ when describing to your barber the kind of haircut you want. However, this one is an exception, and you will know why.

The bald hi-top fade is a fade style where the skin fading of the hair starts immediately, where the long hair on top starts creating a visually high contrast look. Besides, as opposed to the hi-skin fade, the hair on top in bald hi-skin fade is slightly shorter.

23. Hi-Top Fade with Caesar Cut

@sbco.eli

This is a unique variation of hi-top fade. With this haircut, the manes on the sides are trimmed short, leaving longer locks on the top, which are then swept to the front.

 If the hair on top is slightly longer, you can sweep the bangs to the sides to rock a real Caesar cut with style. This is an excellent look for guys who want something more formal, but at the same time, classy.

What Is the Hi-Top Fade Haircut?

Often, most people use flat top and high top interchangeably. However, these are two different haircuts. Technically speaking, the flat top is an example of a hi-top fade, i.e., any hairstyle which features short sides and long and flat hair on top.

The hi-top fade was made popular by the legendary Will Smith, and since then, more and more celebrities have been donning it. Some of the notable celebrities who regularly sport high top fade are the son Jaden Smith and basketball luminary, Nick Young. 

However, not all black men can rock this hairstyle since face shape is an essential consideration when it comes to wearing this look. It determines how high to cut your hair and also how to shape the high top. I know you don’t want to get an imbalanced shape after cutting your hair! 

Once you get your favorite hi-top fade, the next thing you need to do is visit your barber regularly for touchups to maintain the shape of the manes on the top.

How to Style A Flawless Hi-Top Fade Haircut

If you want to rock a hi-top fade haircut, it is highly recommended that you look for a barber who is experienced in styling this type of hairstyle. Since the haircut needs a talented barber able to pay attention to detail and style, make sure he can style it before asking for the cut.

If possible, it is always clever to have a picture of the type of haircut you want so that he can understand better what you need!

Step 1: Clip the Hair on the Sides

The key to getting a perfect high top fade is clipping the hair on the sides and back perfectly. To achieve this, you would want to use clippers set at the guard size between “1 and “4.

Though there are different lengths, you can clip the hair on the sides. A hi-skin fade gives a sharper contrast between the locks on the top and the sides.

Step 2: Trim and Style the Long Hair on Top

You should leave at least 3-inches of hair on top. However, the length of hair that you want to leave on the top will entirely depend on your tastes and preferences, hair type, and of course, the style you want. Some guys prefer a full-blown afro while others prefer something short on top or slanting.

Step 3: Finish the Style

To keep the shape of your hair intact, you should apply hair holding product such as a gel. However, if you need a hassle-free style, you can leave it natural. If you don’t want to maintain it at home, be ready to make several trips to your barbershop weekly for touchups for your style to stay neat.

Conclusion

These suave and trendiest hi-top fade haircut ideas are the best for the guys who want to transform their looks. They are classy and chic enough to steal the show wherever you go. Before you wear one of these haircuts, it is essential to consult your barber for expert advice.

The crew haircut is a timeless and comparatively tapered haircut, with the hair on top trimmed short, and the sides trimmed even shorter. It is an ideal hairstyle that suits all face shapes, and that is the main reason why it is a predominant hairstyle among gents.

1. Typical Crew Haircut

@barbershop_vn

This had to be the first crew cut hairstyle idea in our list, and for obvious reasons. This haircut is short, edgy, and frequently rocked crew haircut. The minimalistic style is the best option for guys in the corporate world since it is tidy, neat, and looks great with a suit.

So, if you landed here because you needed a haircut that is fashionable and suitable for office, then you cannot get it wrong if you choose the crew cut hairstyle-going past this timeless crop will not be a good idea!

With this hairstyle, you will not bother with hair drooping on your face or the sides, and that will allow you to concentrate on your office duties. However, that is not the whole pie that you get when you choose this hairstyle.

In addition to that, it gives you a sleek and refined look that commands respect. Besides, it is a low maintenance hairstyle that will save you a lot of time during your morning grooming routine.

Want to rock this look? Well, keep the length of the hair on top at least an inch long and slightly taper the sides and back, and you are good to go.

2. Long Crew Haircut

@yutsaini91

While most people believe that crew haircut has to be short, that is not always the case. Sometimes you can decide to go overboard and style slightly longer hair on top if you want to stand out from the pack. While the typical crew cut hairstyle has hair on top that is not more than an inch, in the long crew cut hairstyle, the length of hair on the top can go up to 2 inches or more.

However, you should know that the longer the locks on top, the flexible the hair becomes and therefore fall flat. So, any haircut with hair length on top that exceeds two inches cannot be considered a classic crew cut. Typically, in crew cuts, the hair on top should remain in an upright position.

To keep the hair on top upright, you would want to invest in a quality gel. Using your hands, apply it uniformly on your locks.

3. Side-Swept Crew Haircut

@barbershop_vn

This is one of the ridiculously stylish ideas to style the crew cut. To rock this look, you would want to start by creating the classic hairstyle, but leave the hair on top two-inches long. Next, fade the sides and back and subtly brush the long locks on top to one side.

Whether you opt to sweep all your manes or just the locks in the front and leave the rest shaggy and texturized entirely depends on you. The side-swept crew cut is effortless to style and a low maintenance style you will like to wear regularly.

4. High-Contrast

@lepompadourbarber

Achieving this hairstyle is not challenging. All that you need to do is to trim your thick manes and leave them approximately two inches long. Shave the hair on the sides to create a slight contrast between the long hair on top and that on the sides.

The high-contrast style is a great look ideal for casual settings though it can be rocked by folks in the corporate world as well. Complement this style with perfectly-groomed stubble to enhance its effect! The style appears great if the hair on top is subtly tousled for a more natural appearance.

5. Taper Fade Crew Haircut

@kinyozikutsbarber

Classic crew cut hairstyles incorporate tapered sides that are trimmed from a longer length slightly below the top of the head to shorter hair length around the ears. While the fading in this hairstyle is done quite slightly, you can add a fade to increase the intensity and imbue a modern touch to your style.

As opposed to the typical crew haircut, the taper fade crew hairstyle incorporates sides that dramatically taper to expose the skin near the ears with an extreme-short shave. When styled correctly, the tresses on the sides and back of your head look like they are fading away to add an edgy and stylish aesthetic.

6. Crew Haircut with Highlights

@paul_mrbarbers

Popularly known as California crew haircut, this is an ideal crew cut for men with thick hair. To style this look, slightly trim the hair on the sides and leave the locks on top slightly longer. Highlight the entire hair to infuse a colorful twist and transform your otherwise-classic crew haircut!

For instance, in the hairstyle below, the thick hair on top is kept two inches long and highlighted. However, if you keep your hair length longer than two inches, you would want to use hair gel to keep it standing.

7. Textured Crew Haircut

@vitaliymoiseyev.hair

The hairstyle world is changing dramatically, and every day new ways of styling the hair are coming up. One of the common ways guys are styling their hair is by incorporating a textured look into their hairstyles. Textured hair gives you a more polished and less tight look.

Crew cut hairstyles haven’t been left behind from this trend, and guys who add texture to their hair look modern and cool. This is, undoubtedly, good news for the guys with naturally wavy locks since they already have the needed texture. However, for those with straight locks, you would want to enhance the texture of your hair by applying the texturizing product on your straight locks.
Applying texturizing products will also fight fleeciness of the hair, especially after washing it.

8. Ivy League Crew Haircut

@essensuals.hk

The Ivy League haircut is a typical hairstyle for men. The best thing about this hairstyle is several variations in which you can don it. For instance, an Ivy League crew haircut, which is popularly known as an Ivy League cut, is an extended version of the typical crew haircut. The haircut, which is attributed to the American Ivy League colleges like Princeton and Harvard, incorporate manes on top of the head, with enough length to be styled into a side-part.

Generally, this hairstyle appears dapper and fashionable. The hairstyle is ideal for a man who wants to grow out his current crew style and rock something longer. Just ensure that the sides are flawlessly tapered, and the hair on top brushed to perfection.

9. Short Crew Cut

@garagem93_barbearia

If you think that the typical crew haircut is longer for you and you need something shorter than that, there is an option for you. The short crew cut allows you to rock a style with the hair length on top slightly shorter compared to that on the classic crew cut.

The best aspect is that the short crew hairstyle provides the same fashionable look and practicability like the typical crew cut, but with more edge. The haircut resembles the buzz haircut, and it also incorporates sides, top and back that have been trimmed using clippers.

However, there is an aspect that differentiates a short crew cut from a buzz cut. While in a buzz haircut, the hair is maintained uniform all over, short crew haircut incorporates tapered sides and back. As such, the haircut maintains the vibe of crew cut style and just keeps the length shorter.

10. Brushed Forward Crew Haircut

@lostresdrugos

Do you have long hair on top, and you want to don a crew cut? If yes, we recommend that you opt for a brushed forward style. To style this haircut, brush your long locks to the front to achieve a short, textured, and contemporary look.

However, note that based on the type of your manes, the style might look subtly tousled as well, even after brushing it. To achieve the best look, trim the hair at the back to a short length, starting at the middle part downwards.

11. Side-Parted Crew Haircut

@executivecont

Well, rocking the same style of haircut can feel boring sometimes. But why rock the same style when you have an endless variation of hairstyles to choose from?

So, if you are in the corporate world and you have been rocking a typical crew cut, and you want to rock something different, you can try the side-parted crew hairstyle. By just incorporating a part in your style, you can create a focal point and make the entire hairstyling interesting.

While you will find it challenging to come up with a side-part on your short hair, you should start by washing your manes and then combing it before styling your side-part. If your locks don’t hold well even when they are wet, you can apply some product. That will help you define the side-part.

If doing so doesn’t help, you can tell your stylist to give you a hard part upon your next trip.

12. Fluffy Spikes Crew Cut

@beardsculptor

Are you looking for a carefree hairstyle that will convince people that you woke up that way? Well, that is one of the perks you will get when you opt for the fluffy spikes crew cut.

The hairstyle appears wholly natural and messy. The haircut incorporates an extended crew style round, with long spiked hair on top.

The ease of styling is not what makes many guys choose this hairstyle, but its effortless styling. All that you need to do is fade the back and sides and using your fingers, tousle the locks on top to achieve the messy effect.

How to Style a Perfect Crew Cut Haircut

Styling crew cut hairstyle at home is effortless, especially if you don’t want to include a lot of details to your haircut. All that you need is a functional hair clipper with varrying guard sizes.

Nevertheless, if you want to style a crew cut fade, this is not something that everyone can do perfectly. Creating a flawless fade requires a high level of skills and attention to detail, specifically when graduating from one length to another. Remember that the hair ought to blend flawlessly.

So, if you need a perfect crew cut hairstyle, it is advisable to visit your stylist and tell him what crew haircut to give you. But if you want to do it at home, here are steps to follow;

Step 1: Start With the Sides

Start with the manes on the sides. First, you need to determine the type of fade that you need. A high skin fade is suave and rebellious, and if you choose it, you should begin by buzzing the hair on the sides by using only blades on your trimmer. If you need a taper, use number 1 around the ears and along the neckline.

Step 2: Graduate the Hair on the Sides

The rule of thumb is that the manes should get gradually shorter as you move from the top of your head downwards to the ears and around the nape. To achieve this, increase the size of the guard as you gradually shave the hair up the head. Note that the transition from one hair length to the other should be natural and seamless.

Step 3: Trimming the Hair on Top

You should leave comparatively longer hair on top compared to the sides. For a classic crew haircut, utilize 1″ clipper size. For a long crew haircut, you should use a scissor. Otherwise, you can decide on how long you want to keep the hair on top.

Step 4: Styling the Locks on Top

There are myriad ways you can style the hair on top. For instance, you can opt for a swept-look, spiked look, short fringe, or just style it flat.

In Conclusion…

Despite being ridiculously practical and stylish, the crew cut hairstyle is effortless to maintain and style.
And if you want that mature look, you will be able to achieve that effortlessly with crew cut haircut since the cut incorporates an element of athleticism and confidence on your face. As such, it is an amazing haircut if you want to balance appearance and practicability.
