43. Invisible Hair Part
A new and trendy look to try this season is the invisible part, and it’s fairly easy to do. To begin, wash hair with Dove Men+Care Thick & Strong Fortifying 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner to give your hair a visibly thicker look before styling. (Here’s the thing: With an invisible part, you want your hair to be thick and fluffy enough to hide it.) Once dry, use your hands to create a barely-there part and separate your hair. Apply a fingertip’s amount of AXE Smooth Look: Shine Pomade to your hair then use a blowdryer to set your look.
44. Quiff with Subtle Edge
If you’re just tired of styling your hair into a clean and smooth quiff, try something edgy for a change. To create this spiked quiff hairstyle start by washing with a formula that provides a bit of volume. Wash hair with Suave Men Thick & Full 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner. To style, warm about a dime-sized amount of AXE Spiked-Up Look Extreme Hold Gel into your hands, then apply to your hair while finger-combing it through—from left to right—to encourage movement. Mold your spikes the way you want and you’re done!
45. Blonde Buzzcut
Shaved styles are nothing new, but we love the look with a yellow shade of blonde. Get creative with your buzzcut by going for a bold color to pair with the style. This cut is perfect for guys who want a low-maintenance cut but a look that will still stand out in a crowd. Because you will be rocking a buzzcut, it’s important to make sure your hair is hydrated and flake-free, no one wants to see dandruff! We recommend trying Bed Head for Men by TIGI Wise Up Scalp Shampoo for your dry scalp needs.
46. Long and Slicked to the Side
For all the guys who rocked the long hair trend during the winter, keep those locks for summer! Longer hair is one of the best summer hairstyles for men because it’s highly versatile and works well with bun weather. But don’t just grow your hair out, give it some texture and high shine factor, too: Go for an extreme side part and slick it over with AXE Spiked-Up Look: Extreme Hold Gel. This gel will make sure your hair stays put so you don’t lose the drama of the slicked style and will give it a high shine factor.
47. Curly and Carefree
In case you haven’t heard, curly hair for men is a go! This trend is one of the best haircuts for men with naturally curly texture who are tired of over-styling to remove their beautiful curls. Embrace bouncy locks with Dove Men+Care Defining Pomade. Pomade is great for curly hair because it enhances your natural texture and keeps the style in place.
Editor’s Tip: Once you’ve applied the pomade, don’t brush out your strands or you will risk losing a lot of work the pomade just did.
48. Simple Pompadour
A pompadour may seem like a dated ’50s style, but it’s actually one of those quirky looks popular on the runways this year. The best part of the pompadour is that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. To get the look, simply ask your stylist to slightly fade the sides and back of your head, but keep a good amount of hair on the top.
Styling your pomp isn’t too complicated either: Whether you wear it sleek and polished, or pumped up and playful, using a good styling product is essential to achieve this classic look. For a helpful product that can help up your style in seconds, use Dove Men+Care Control Gel on clean, damp hair to carefully mold your pomp into place.
49. Suave Quiff
Like the pompadour, a textured quiff is another style that reigned supreme on the runways and streets this year. To get this trendy cut, ask your stylist to keep your sides short, keeping the top part of your style a bit longer. When it comes to styling this look, a straight and sleek quiff will look fresh and on-point. However, if you want to take your style to the next level, use a styling product like Bed Head for Men By TIGI Matte Separation Workable Wax on the top part of your style to get a naturally undone wave.
51. Smart Undercut
Undercuts have been pretty trendy for a while. While the style’s popularity doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon, achieving this look is something you’ll want to do in a salon as it is a disconnected style that requires a good eye and a steady hand. To get a true undercut, ask your stylist for a short fade (almost bare-walled) on the sides, keeping the top part of your hair longer.
To style your cut, use a good wax or gel to get that slick and cool finish. Or, wear your style textured and wavy—up to you!
52. Natural Texture
Natural textures are also having a well-deserved moment right now, as natural afros, braids and twists are finally finding the space they deserve in the mainstream style arena. Being that these looks usually require minimal styling, you won’t have to worry about subjecting your hair to additional heat styling or damage. Just style as normal with some leave-in conditioner (and perhaps a hair pick), and enjoy your natural look!
53. The Swirl
The look of the slicked side part hairstyle already stands out due to the attention-grabbing shine the hairstyle requires. However, some men just like taking a step further. If this sounds like you, try adding this swirled fringe into your style.
After smoothing hair down with a gel, like Bed Head by TIGI Hard Head Mohawk Gel, part the front section of hair, comb through to detangle, then brush hair flat against your forehead. Using a fine-toothed comb or your hairbrush, swirl the ends of your fringe to create the swoop effect as shown above. Use a blow dryer to dry in place and you’re done.
54. The Classic Combover
There’s nothing wrong with keeping things on the simple end of the styling spectrum. Try this classic combover style. Create a clean hard part on the side of your hair and apply a generous amount of Bed Head for Men by TIGI Power Play Firm Finish Gel onto your hair and brush it in place. This gel provides your style with a non-greasy shine and a firm hold.
55. Disconnected Fringe
Much like the disconnected fade hairstyle, this disconnected fringe style has a section that stands out on its own. After smoothing clean hair into place, comb-over style, create a section of hair on both sides of your hair. Brush the hair forward to create a fringe effect. Style your fringe with Bed Head For Men By TIGI Matte Separation Workable Wax. On one side, you can mimic the look of sideburns if that’s the look you’d rather go for!
56. Side Part with Long Hair
Whether your side part is hard (a.k.a. extremely prominent) or not, it adds a sexy feature to your hairstyle. We love how this partition neatly disconnects the lengths between your low fade when paired with a high-top hairstyle.
57. Combover with Color
Sleek, slick, and under control, and probably what you’ll see when defining the combover. This hairstyle has made its way from the red carpet straight to the pavement. The combover is versatile, as you can comb it back, or to the left or right. Be sure to keep it in check with the help of some pomade or gel.
58. Top Knot with a Beard
One of the coolest and carefree, yet cool hairstyles for men is the top knot. Why? It’s so easy to master and is great for when you have your roll-out-of-bed moments. Wake, smooth your locks on back into a bun, secure, and go!
59. Natural High Fade
Whether worn on textured hair or not, this funky 1980s-inspired fade haircut hairstyle earns major cool points as it’s making a huge comeback this season in a contemporary way. Men are pairing up the higher middle section of their hair with an undercut and even sometimes a crew cut. Either way, this hairstyle is unique and great for the guy who loves to play around with his personal style.
60. Slick Pompadour
The voluminous effect of this haircut is what really makes the style. The versatility of this haircut allows you to wear it to work or for play and is fairly easy to achieve. Don’t believe us? Check out our pompadour haircut tutorial.
61. Man Braids
Almost every guy is rocking braids these days. Whether it’s multiple cornrows, worn as a single long braided man ponytail, or in lieu of a man bun, this style can be dressed up or down. But we feel it looks most neat when forelocks or flyaways are kept at bay with the help of your go-to pomade.
62. Tousled Cut
Nothing screams effortless other than the tousled cut. We love this hairstyle especially on men with medium-length hair with a wavy texture that gives the style a much more natural look.
63. 360 Waves
Waves on a spin! The circular wavy effect of this hairstyle is super slick and impressive, don’t you think? Use a hair sponge or wave brush, as above, to help urge that natural curl pattern in.
64. Skin Fade for Thin Hair
Clean-cut and well balanced, the skin fade haircut is shaved in one length all around. We get why men are opting for this haircut: It requires minimal styling. Seriously, wake and go! But to keep it tamed and at this hair length, a weekly haircut will do.
65. Long and Messy
Something about this hairstyle screams sexy. And we don’t mean that long hair is kept by being unkempt, but more like giving it a wispy appeal which gives it that masculine and slightly disheveled vibe. Whether it’s finger-combed back by running your fingers through your hair or associated with a barely-there side part, this long and messy hairstyle for men is great for those who can’t imagine parting ways with their long hair.
