Your Ultimate Guide to Popular Hairstyles for Men
1. Two-Block Haircut
This haircut for men features a long top and shaved sides and back. The shaved portions are not as short as those of the undercut. With a two-block haircut, your hair at the back falls just above your nape while the sides fall just above your ears. This haircut is a popular look among KPop stars, so if you have them as style pegs, consider trying out this haircut.
Anti-Dandruff
CLEAR Cool Sport Menthol Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Men
Editor’s tip: Don’t let dandruff ruin your style. Make sure your hair is dandruff-free with CLEAR Cool Sport Menthol Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Men. It helps activate your scalp’s natural protective layer so you’re better protected against dandruff. It also has cooling mint that leaves your scalp feeling fresh.
2. Pompadour
The pompadour is originally a woman’s haircut named after Madame de Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV (monarchy drama, let’s leave it at that). Enter Elvis who copped the hairstyle and owned it, and well, the rest is literally history. The pomp is characterized by short sides and a long top, which is swept up and back over the head. It’s super stylish and sophisticated but it’s also high maintenance—you need regular trims and you can’t just shower and go, it has to be styled. If you don’t mind allotting some time to style your hair in the morning, this ‘do is an excellent choice.
For Control and Hold
Axe Ice Chill Pomade
Editor’s tip: Nail your pompadour hairstyle with the help of Axe Ice Chill Pomade. It lets you shape your hair while giving it a firm hold.
3. Quiff
The quiff is quite similar to a pompadour hairstyle. It’s actually a combination of the pomp, the flat-top and the mohawk. It features short sides and back and longer hair on top that‘s brought upward and backward. This short haircut for men is different from the pompadour in that it can be styled messy and tousled or worn straight and neatly brushed back, while the pompadour is usually really glossy and very precise. You can also tone down on the volume if you want to make your quiff more updated.
4. French Crop
This haircut for men features longer hair in front that’s styled like a fringe. You can get shaved sides or faded sides to go with your French crop, or an undercut if you want to highlight your fringe.
For Weak Hair
Dove Men + Care Strengthening Shampoo
Editor’s tip: Nail different hairstyles for men by making sure that your hair is strong and full-looking. Wash it with Dove Men + Care Strengthening Shampoo. It is infused with Trichazole Actives and caffeine that help fortify your strands so your hair grows uninterrupted by hair fall. It gives you healthy-looking and stronger hair.
5. Classic Fade
The fade is one of our favorite trendy hairstyles for men that start off long at the top and get shorter on the sides and the lower back. The hair creates a seamless blend as it goes from one length to the other.
6. High Fade Haircut
This short haircut for men has shaved sides that are extremely short. The fade also starts higher up on the head, sometimes even above the temple area. It contrasts starkly with long and bouncy hair on top, making it a head-turning look for men.
7. Side-Parted Wavy Hairstyle for Men
Wavy hair sometimes seems to have a life of its own. Knowing how to style it, though, can make a big difference. You can start by putting a small amount of pomade or gel on your hair to make it easier to manage and control. Then, comb it to one side or use your fingers to direct your hair. If you want some waves but your hair is straight, you can make some by curling the tips of your hair using a flat iron.
8. Easy Comb Over
This is one of the most popular hairstyles for men, as it is simple and easy to achieve. Just comb your hair over to one side, style with wax or putty, and you’re all set.
9. Long Top

10. Straight and Brushed Back
This is another hairstyle you can do if you have faded or shaved sides. Just brush your hair backwards while blow-drying it, then keep your hair in place with gel or pomade. That’s it!

15. Crew Cut
The crew cut is one of the classic short hairstyles for men. It’s tapered on the back and the sides, with the top about an inch long. It’s also a very short haircut that doesn’t require a lot of styling, making it a perfect cut for men-on-the-go.

18. Korean Comma Hairstyle
If you want to cover a part of your forehead, try the Korean comma hairstyle. It’s great for men with short or medium-length thick hair. Naturals waves help add texture and volume, but if your hair is straight, you can create waves using a flat iron or a curling iron. The most important part of creating this hairstyle for men is to take a section of hair in front and create a comma shape by clamping it using your flat iron. Then, spritz some hairspray to make it stay in place.
19. Messy Side Part
Even men can wear a messy hairstyle. To achieve this ‘do, you can simply scrunch and style your hair with your fingers. It’s a great way to look stylish on weekends when you want a break from super polished hairstyles.

21. Long and Flat Top
If you’re looking for a clean haircut that isn’t really short, then, this long and flat top hair is all you need. It is long enough to still style but with sides that are thin and clean. You can even style the long top part into a quiff on your off days to exude a relaxed vibe.
