The male grooming scene is undergoing a seismic shift towards individuality. Forget the days of cookie-cutter cuts; today’s gents are carving out their own style identities with gusto.
“Men won’t go and just get a plain buzz cut nowadays, they’ll do something to personalize,” explains Nate Masterson, a hair expert for Maple Holistics.
Indeed, grooming is no longer a taboo topic for the modern man. With self-care in vogue, fellas are proudly flaunting their locks and embracing grooming routines like never before. From rocking their natural hair textures to playing with fades and lengths, it’s all about showing the world who they are through their strands.
And let’s talk tech! Thanks to advancements in razors and electric shavers, shaping up has never been easier. “Because of this we possibly see an increase in the number of men who take hair care seriously,” notes industry insider Nate Masterson.
With a surplus of grooming goodies at their fingertips, men are diving headfirst into experimentation. It’s a playground of possibilities, with styles ranging from classic with a twist to daringly avant-garde.
So, what’s hot on the hair horizon for 2025? Get ready to feast your eyes on these head-turning trends:
A perennial favorite, the textured crop is here to stay. “The key here is the added texture on top, giving it a more relaxed, lived-in look,” says hairstylist extraordinaire, Sophia Bolotina, citing versatility and easy maintenance as key strengths. With its laid-back vibe and effortless charm, this cut is a winner for all hair types.

Believe it or not, the mullet is making a comeback, but it’s not the ’80s party in the back style. With a refined touch, a gradual fade on the sides, and controlled length at the back, it’s for the bold guys unafraid of experimenting with their appearance. “I really like the look of the curly mullet which is categorized by a mullet cut with a burst fade on the sides and back,” says Masterson.

It’s a nod to the classic looks but with a contemporary flair, where sharp meets soft in a stylish fusion. “It works great for men who want a cut that’s both professional and edgy,” beams Bolotina. It also complements beards seamlessly, resulting in a chic, well-groomed appearance that enhances facial features.
