25 Trendy Young Men Haircuts and Hairstyles
Read on and get inspired:
1. Deep Side Part
If you’re looking for a way to make a statement with your hair without committing to any drastic or irreversible looks, then a change of part is for you. Creating a deep side part in your haircut of choice is an easy way to make a subtle statement.
2. Full Beard and Head of Hair
The key to making longer hair and beard work in corporate spaces is making sure to stay on top of your grooming. Keep your strands and beard nice and neat to keep your look office-appropriate.
3. Find a Balance
If you’re determined not to cut off your long hair then you’ll have to find a way to balance the chaos. A neatly trimmed beard is exactly the streamlined counterpart you’re looking for.
4. Hard Part Fade
Looking for a haircut that’s both edgy and trendy? The fade is for you.
5. Grown Out, Combed Back
Grow it out and comb it back. Find a good comb from your local drugstore in the hair care aisle and use it to brush your damp hair away from your face when you get out of the shower.
6. Keep it Clean
Keep it clean while still staying on trend by pairing a fade with a closely trimmed beard.
7. Try a Man Bun
Refresh your man bun tying skills with our man bun guide and learn how to neatly tie your strands up to make them workplace-ready.
8. Surfer Style
The surfer style that worked for frat house parties will need an upgrade before interview season rolls around. Run a touch of Dove Men+Care Defining Pomade through the ends to give the look some streamlined intentional effort and hold.
9. Styled Waves
Opt for a fade that leaves the tops of your hair extra long so that your waves can do some attention-grabbing work. Keeping the sides short help you maintain a look that works for the office, while still letting your waves have some of the limelight.
10. Straight Strands
The same rule can be applied to straight hair. Keeping the sides short will help you avoid that all-over floppy style look.
11. Slicked Back
Our number one tip for using hair gel? Don’t overdo it! Remember that a little bit goes a long way and you can always add more as you style. We love Dove Men+Care Control Gel for all-day hold.
12. Piecey Layers
We’re willing to bet that you’ve never put too much thought into adding layers to your haircut. They can make a world of a difference in terms of adding texture and trendy flair to your overall look.
13. Natural Hair
Keep your beard in the cleanly shaved to minimal scruff range and let your curls do all the talking.
14. With a Twist
Alternatively, pair your curls with a fade to hit two trends at once.
15. Messy and Workable
If you’re determined to let your hair do what it wants then make sure to opt for a haircut on the short to medium side to keep things in check.
16. Long and Styled
Go for a gravity-defying style by teasing your roots for some major volume.
17. Cropped
Wear your strands neat and closely cropped.
18. Layered Fade
Make your thick hair more manageable by opting for a layered fade haircut. This is an ideal style for thick hair and will make your strands the focal point of your entire look.
19. Strategic Highlights
Listen up, guys: This is not an at-home option! Take a few inspiration photos to your stylist for a few strategic highlights that add some dimension without going overboard.
20. Curly Medium-Length Hair
Let your curls run wild and skip the hair products and the closely shaven cropped look. A curly haircut that falls into this medium-length zone remains office-appropriate while still showing off your texture.
21. Curly ‘Fro
If you’re determined to let your curls grow a little longer than use a defining mouse like TRESemmé Flawless Curls Extra Hold Mousse to keep those curls tight and defined.
22. Cropped Curls
Alternatively, show off your texture with a closely cropped curly haircut.
23. Closely Shaven
Keep it closely shaven all around with a cropped haircut and a barely-there beard.
24. Neat and Clean-Cut
Keep it neat and tidy with a classic haircut and a closely trimmed beard.
25. Brushed-Up Curls
Rock a fade with an overgrown top and brush up the top for a statement-making style. This is one of our favorite young men haircuts.
