Most men have a natural part as hair tends to fall more to one side than the other. Emphasize this by creating a deep part that fades on the shorter half and is curly and sculpted on the other. It’s quite a distinct look that is still workplace appropriate.
If you work in a more relaxed and casual environment, edge it up a bit with an etched parted hair design. It stands out more and really pops against dark hair. This is an ideal style for a contemporary young man.

Extended fringe swept to one side creates asymmetry and adds intrigue to your overall appearance. This style requires medium to long length and works best with straight or slightly wavy hair. Regular trims keep the fringe from looking overgrown.

Mohawks are nothing new, but for the latest upgrade to the classic haircut, you may add some color. Pink is no longer just for Barbie, incorporating the rosewood brown hue into a shaved style gives it a fun boost. Plus, it’s an exciting look that is sure to stand out in pictures.

Sometimes a wild hairstyle no longer suits your lifestyle, and you need to clean it up. Men who are starting a new job will appreciate this well-groomed glam. Make sure to go easy on the gel so that you don’t look like you stepped into the office with wet hair.

Just because you have a short haircut does not mean that you have to style your hair falling to one side or the other. A great option for round faces is a back-swept style with some lift of the quiff. The parted side gives it more structure and adds a bit of edge.
@barber_charles
Thick hair looks fantastic in men’s hairstyles with a part. Slightly brushing your quiff to one side, you will avoid a blocky appearance. It’s a good option for a weekend date.
@nastybarbers
A faux Mohawk in a modern interpretation is a great option for thick hair. When you keep it tight and structured, the hairstyle does not overwhelm your overall appearance. It is definitely a look that takes a confident man to pull off, so make sure to pair this with your best slim cut suit.

For finer hair textures, avoid heavy products that can make hair appear sparse. This streamlined approach uses lightweight styling agents to achieve a polished finish without weighing down delicate strands. The result looks intentional and well-maintained.
@barber_charle
Another way to tackle thinning hair is to simply embrace it. A side-parted men’s hairstyle with closely clipped sides and side-swept top section makes it appear as though your hair is generally thicker.
@nastybarbers
Tall styles like Mohawks and pompadours may not be flattering for long faces because they elongate visually. A slicked back style will be much more flattering. Add a parted detail and fade on the sides for a modern upgrade of the classic look with a retro feel.
@thebarberpost
If you are a man who believes frills are for the weak, this straightforward haircut is the best bet for you. The length is meticulously tapered for a super neat look. It’s a men’s hairstyle that can work well virtually anywhere.

Rather than hiding a prominent widow’s peak, the cut incorporates it as a distinctive feature. The defined part and medium length add contemporary styling to what might otherwise read as severe. This approach works particularly well with dark hair.
@barber_charles
Many praise the undercut hairstyle because it allows you to wear the long sections of your hair in a variety of different ways. It is versatile and individual. Personalize it further with a fun shaved design. The style is perfect for a young man who frequents the skate parks; it was made for life cruising through the fast lane.
@victorinostylo
Although this is very similar to the style above, it is better suited for men with long faces. Smoothing the hair down and to the side takes away from the unflattering extra height and length that a Mohawk would provide.
@nastybarbers
A polished, sophisticated cut featuring a clean taper and precisely defined part. This refined aesthetic has gained renewed popularity in contemporary culture while maintaining its classic appeal. The sleek finish works particularly well with textured or coiled hair types.
@georgecoady_
