This list is especially for guys that are looking to redefine their style or simply up or try something new. I’ve rounded up the hairstyles that promise to adjust or boost your look.
Whether you’re going for a complete style transformation or just looking to refreshen up your look, I’m pretty sure there’s at least one style here that suits you.
The Side Part
So, we’re starting with the ‘Old Money’ hairstyle—don’t get thrown off by the name; it’s simpler than it sounds. It’s got this cool, classic side part that never goes out of style. It’s low-key, sophisticated, and it looks good on just about everyone. It’s my top pick for its sheer versatility and understated elegance.
Quick Tip: If you’re trying this out, ask your barber to keep the sides neat, around an inch, and go longer on top, like 2.5 inches, for that nice, flowy vibe. For guys with medium to thick hair, try Forte Control Clay to get that textured yet refined look. If your hair is on the finer side, opt for Forte Styling Cream for a softer, more natural appearance.
Natural & Taper Fades
Moving on to the fades—more specifically the Natural Fade and the Taper Fade. Both are super adaptable and a bit subtler than your usual harsh fade cuts, making them perfect for almost any setting. Plus, they grow out nicely, so you don’t have to rush back to the barber every few weeks.
Why It Works: Apart from their low-maintenance charm, it’s incredibly versatile and suitable for most settings and face shapes. Plus, as the hair grows out, these styles maintain their neat appearance longer than most cuts.
Styling Tips: A lightweight styling foam or mousse can enhance the texture without weighing down the hair. Work the product into damp hair and blow-dry for added volume and a natural finish.
Quiff
Variations
The Classic for those more formal moments, and the Textured or Messy Quiff for a laid-back, dynamic look. Depending on your vibe, switch it up between polished or playful.
How to Style It: For both styles, you’ll want to maintain enough length on top to play around with volume. Then using a blow dryer and some Styling Cream , it can help achieve that perfect quiff by adding volume and texture while ensuring it stays in place without looking too stiff.
Curls Gone
Wild
This style is for those who love a more natural, untamed look. It’s about embracing the curls and waves that nature gave you and making them a statement.
Product Recommendations: Use a curl cream to define and tame frizz or a sea salt spray for adding a bit of edge and texture, perfect for achieving that effortlessly cool look. For more defined curls, a good curl cream can enhance your natural curls and keep frizz at bay. If your hair is on the finer side or you prefer a slightly messy look, a sea salt spray can add texture without weighing down your hair.
Crew Cut
Classics
The modern crew cut offers a bit more length on top for styling flexibility, making it both practical and trendy.
It’s a cut is perfect for those who want a low-maintenance style that still looks sharp and intentional.
Styling Tips: Keep the top slightly textured for a modern twist. Use a light pomade or wax to give the top a bit of lift and separation without appearing overly styled. It’s great for making thin hair appear thicker and giving fine hair a voluminous boost.
Remember, experimenting with your hairstyle is more than just a change—it’s about expressing yourself and enhancing your personal brand. Keep styling, keep shining, and most importantly, stay confident in your unique journey!
