7. Wavy Tapered Gray Haircut
Wavy hair really benefits from a tapered haircut. The cut is longer on top, and the perimeter is neat and short. Wavy hair can be parted on either side, or brushed back. Instead of fighting with your natural wave, the tapered cut, embraces it. Mens grey hairstyles with wavy and thick hair really shine with this style. If you want to have that messy yet controlled style, use a small amount of AXE Urban Messy Look: Flexible Paste and work it into your hair. Waves stay in place from the office to the gym and back.
8. Man Bun Hairstyle for Gray Hair
The man bun has become a mens style staple. And you don’t really need long hair to make one. The man bun should be in your grey mens hairstyles rep, as it’s a look that is equally as dapper in the boardroom as it is on the weekends. And it can be styled quickly too: It can be worn with a full, or neatly cropped beard, or let the man bun go solo. To style it, after hair’s been washed, apply AXE Natural Look: Understated Cream to damp hair. The cream works as a leave-in conditioner, anti-frizz agent and styling aid. Create that man bun and head to the office!
9. Fade and Undercut Men’s Hairstyle for Gray Hair
The fade undercut is a mens hairstyle that combines the fade (hair on the sides and back are angled cut neatly toward the scalp with fullness on top) and the undercut (tight sides). It’s been seen on male influencers of every age. As hairstyles for men with grey hair goes, it’s a hit out of the park.
10. Curly Tapered Haircut
Men with curls understand that it can be frustrating to style them. When hair starts to go gray, curls can become thicker and more stubborn to style. Look for relief in the curly tapered haircut. The cut is tight on the sides and the top can be as long or as neat as you prefer. For grey mens hairstyles that shine, try using Bed Head by TIGI Dumb Blonde Shampoo once a week to maintain silver tones in your hair. Naturally grey and silver hair can sometimes become dull or have a yellow-ish tinge, The toning shampoo brightens your natural hair color.
