Best Hairstyles for Men with Short Hair
Maybe you found your signature haircut, or you are still wondering how to experiment with your looks this year. Well, regardless if you are testing something new or refining an older style, there are quite a lot of options you could try.
Looking stylish can be achieved regardless of your hair length. However, when it comes to short hair, there are a couple of options that are always a safe bet. Plus, they are easy to get.
1. Skin Fade with Undercut
Keeping a bit of length at the top and fading the sides will create a subtle contrast. This will gently direct the attention towards your eyes. Clean sides and nape also allow you to expose those strong jawlines. It looks extra cool with a shaved beard and with freshly trimmed arches.
When you have a special occasion coming up, you can easily add some fixating spray to achieve the awesome texture visible in the photograph. Plus, the undercut is not so difficult to maintain. It only requires occasional visits to your hairstylist to keep the look fresh.
2. Military Buzz Cut
This is considered to be one of the most low-maintenance haircuts for men! To obtain this same-length short hairstyle, ask your barber for a 1/8 inches long clippers trim. If you are willing to take a risk, you could also ask a friend to help you out with the cut. After all, the procedure is pretty straight-forward, and it requires minimal effort!
The military buzz cut is one of the most frequently requested short hairstyles for men. One of the main reasons for its popularity is that it is easy to maintain at home, once you had a professional barber give you the exact design and contour. It is the perfect option for guys who prefer ease and do not want to put too much time and effort into their appearance. Another benefit is that it will take years off your appearance and instantly give you that light, extra-fresh vibe.
As the name suggests, the cut is inspired by the military. However, it has become a rather common style in all environments. Still, in the minds of many, the military association lives on. This makes the hairstyle give off some serious bad boy vibes.
3. Wavelength Drop Fade
If you prefer crisp, short, shaped haircuts with a bit of texture, take a look at this wavelength fade with a smooth transition around the sides. It will help you gain a perfectly textured crown. The zero faded sides will help create a high contrast with the top. Furthermore, you can play around with the look by trying different combinations of beards and moustaches.
This wavelength drop fade requires no styling effort. The only thing you will need to worry about is the next appointment at the barbershop.
4. Spiky Textured Caesar Cut
This centuries-old haircut has enough length to allow multiple styling options. You can arrange the top with some medium-hold hair pomade. To achieve those sleek spikes that bring a modern air to your crown, switch to a wet styling product.
The shorter the sides, the more masculine and edgy your final look will be. So be sure to visit your local barbershop for frequent trims if you want a killer look.
