This kulot hairstyle for men has height and volume on top. If you shave the sides and the back of your head, you get a disconnected undercut as well. To create a pompadour, brush your hair upward and apply hair gel or wax to your curls to keep them in place.

Its Triple Anti-Dandruff Technology removes, resists, and prevents dandruff. It also has mint that leaves your scalp feeling fresh and cool.

Got long, curly hair? Here’s an idea: Shave the lower half of your head to get a trendy undercut. Then, put your hair up in a man ponytail. That’s two hair trends in one hairstyle!

Editor’s tip: Wash your hair with Dove Men + Care Refreshing Clean Shampoo to get rid of dirt and grease while giving your hair and scalp a refreshing feel. This shampoo also has caffeine to help with the growth of your hair follicles.

Another men’s hair trend that you can combine with your curls is the French crop. This haircut for curly-haired men is composed of a longer top that extends up to your forehead, or even eyebrows, like a fringe. Keep your curls in place by applying hair putty or mattifying clay.

No time to style your hair? Just scrunch your curls while applying hair putty, and wear your hair messy! This kulot hairstyle for men is perfect for busy days.

Editor’s tip: Does your hair break easily? Use Dove Men + Care Strengthening Shampoo. It is infused with caffeine and Trichazole Actives that help in fortifying your hair strands so hair fall due to breakage won’t interrupt the growth of your hair. 

5. Full and Thick Curls

The key to having a harmonious relationship with your curly hair is to work with it and not fight it. Have your barber follow the shape and movement of your curls when getting a haircut. A layered curly haircut will help distribute your hair’s volume, resulting in a haircut that flatters your hair’s natural shape and texture.

6. Tousled Curly Hair for Men
