Even though wavy and curly hair is often described as unruly and tricky to manage, this hair type is a perfect base for so many hot-on-trend and contemporary men’s haircuts. Wavy hair normally has plenty of body and naturally holds volume, hence every man’s hairstyle works for a specific texture. Keep scrolling to see a variety of some of the trendiest wavy hairstyles for men to match any of your preferences and needs.
A great choice for thick wavy hair, this haircut doesn’t require excessive effort to style it: just brush your fringe back and use some pomade for a sleek yet textured finish. However, you will probably need to visit a barbershop at least every 4-5 weeks to maintain this style fresh and clean.

Natural waves and ringlets have a lot of texture and volume, which looks great accentuated by the crisp, clean skin fade. Ask your barber to leave the top at least two inches long and shave the sides gradually to achieve this glam.
@ceejayfadez
We love the versatility of this haircut – classy and trendy at the same time. A great choice for any type of spiraled strands, the hairstyle is relatively low-maintenance: apply some texturizing paste to push the fringe back and accentuate the texture.
@criztofferson
Embrace the natural movement and flow of your hair with this relaxed, messy mid-length hairstyle. Some subtle bleached highlights would add to the style and emphasize the waves.
@joshlamonaca
Make a statement with a bold haircut with long curls on the top and an immaculate high skin fade on the sides and the back. Some sea salt spray and pomade will help you to achieve this perfect salon-like finish.
@andrew_the_barber
To get the look, specify the position of your future ponytail or bun and ask the barber to clipper cut all your hair below this point. Make sure you explain your needs as precisely as possible, to get the fade as high as you need.
@mohagan66614
Short, buzzed sides make a striking contrast with those thick, unruly curls. If you’re considering some hair dye, it’s the right time for highlights as those are high on-trend now.
@sami_barbershop
Classy and masculine, a short crop suits most head shapes and always looks amazing. Pair it with a neat taper fade to add contrast and dimension to your hairstyle.
@mattjbarbers
Textured hair is literally made for disconnected haircuts, like this edgy style with a longer top and seamlessly faded sides. Combine it with a crisp cut beard for the ultimate trendy look.
@soul_tonic
Subtle, but bald enough to be noticed, this haircut looks totally on point. Use a texturizing paste to tame the locks and enhance the texture or apply some gel for a sleeker and more polished finish.
@glennmcgoldrick
A perfect style for shoulder-length hair, men’s top knot requires some maintenance to the side and back area. However, once you start with a great haircut, it won’t require any maintenance. Ask the barber for a hair design to highlight the immaculate fading.
@clayton.machado.de.lima
Ultimately cool and stylish, this style is not for the faint-hearted. To wear a quiff hairstyle, the hair length must be at least 4-5 inches, so if you like the haircut, be prepared to grow your hair to a certain length.
@mohagan66614
Are you looking for an easy but modern and classy wavy hairstyle for men? This haircut is all you need: ask the barber to keep the top area longer, taper the sides, and fade the temples.
@marcosmessa
Conforming enough to be dressed down for office or school, this modern take on a Mohawk style is a total showstopper when styled with full volume and movement. Crisp shape up is a great addition if you want to set off the burst of texture on top.
@clayton.machado.de.lima
The longer strands contrasting with a crisp bald fade look edgy and daring. Use some polishing pomade to slick the fringe back and tame all the fluff and frizz.
@bymyguybarber
Although this haircut is timeless and suitable for any occasion, the low skin fade gives it a modern vibe and feel. Use a matte hair paste or clay to create that spiky finish. Is your hair too heavy to hold the shape? Make sure you use some finishing spray to keep the shape in place.
@javi_thebarber_
Could you pull off a mullet cut? If your hair has enough density and you pride yourself on a good sense of style, give it a try. A temple fade will make the overall look more modern and put together.
@georgespicer_hair
If you have thick hair and prefer wearing it longer, consider styling it back with a quiff. To create this look, use some volumizing mousse and blow-dry your hair back with a hairdryer.
@alan_beak
Both modern and vintage, this haircut is an utter head turner. To get the cool, polished look, work some gel in your wet hair, brush it back with your fingers, and let your locks part naturally.
@tomyz_barber
Embrace your hair texture with this tousled wavy haircut for men. With a subtle ‘90s vibe and a nod to a box haircut, the style looks terrific combined with a messy curly texture.
@4hairpleasure
The tight fade seamlessly blended into thick locks on the crown makes a bold, contrasting look. Use plenty of hair cream or gel to give definition to your wave pattern.
@erickgomezz1
One of the best features of curly textured hair is its ability to hold shape and plenty of volume. Ask your barber to leave longer strands on the top and go for a low fade on the sides to embrace your natural texture.
@cal_newsome
Short, classic sides and full, messy back perfectly represent the good old concept of the mullet cut: business at the front, party at the back. This haircut is literally made for wavy hair but if you prefer a more defined finish, use some hair cream or pomade.
@savedbarber
The timeless taper cut looks amazing across textures. How to make sure it works for coiled hair? Keep the sides neat and short for a clean finish and leave the top longer for contrast and style.
@alan_beak
Textured hair sometimes tends to look messy and unstructured. If you are all into sharp lines, then cutting the sides extra short and adding a pop of color would give your hairstyle that edgy finish.
@jose.crespo_
Longer hair at the front combined with short, tight sides and back looks just as great on wispy ringlets as it does on straight locks. This style, however, would require some effort to style on a day-to-day basis.
@adrianbarron__
Edgy yet relatively low-maintenance, Caesar cut doesn’t require to be styled, however, you’d need to have it tidied up every 4-6 weeks. It’s definitely the right haircut for those with a strong jawline and a prominent chin.
@r.whitehouse_cuts
If you like to keep your hair longer but prefer a fresh and crisp look, low fade is your best bet. Brush your hair upward or wear it with a parting, and make sure to use plenty of hair conditioner to keep your hair moisturized.
@__thomasmitchell
Embrace your curls with this stunning classic fade and long textured fringe. The sharp contouring lines of the haircut and the beard look masculine and trendy.
@_nicolerenae
The haircut would suit those with tighter coil type and is great for those working at the office, as well as guys who are into sports. Seemingly low-maintenance, this wavy hairstyle for men would need to be regularly freshened up before it starts to look untidy.
@sirpaulcharles
Are you looking for a low-maintenance medium-length haircut? The tousled shag might be the answer. Featuring the same hair length to emphasize the texture, this haircut literally styles itself.
@andrewdoeshair
Longer hair at the front and short disconnected sides create a modern and sophisticated look. Pair it with a well-groomed beard for a killer effect.
@depbydrip
The wolf cut, a combination of a shag cut and a mullet, is one of the currently trendy haircuts for medium to long hair. Featuring curtain bangs and long wispy sides and back, it accentuates the natural hair texture.
@ichi_ishiguri
While this haircut is not for the faint-hearted, it’s certainly an impressive source of inspiration. Cut the top shorter to tame your texture and ensure it effortlessly styles straight.
@r.whitehouse_cuts
Who said you can’t have the Elvis look if you have wavy locks? In fact, a little texture is a perfect base for creating big statement glam. Backcomb the root area and use some matte pomade to achieve this style.
@bodiabarber
This ‘tattooed’ high fade and choppy wavy top combo is utter perfection. Finish it with a brow slit and a short tidy beard.
@howtobarber
Longer and wispier wavy fringe can help to conceal the receding hairline. Keep the sides short and tight for a classy, neat look.
@wax.t_life
If you love contrast as much as we do, you’ll love a superb haircut with mussed-up texture. In fact, would it even look this cool on straight hair?
@victorkanavarrooficial
An avant-garde version of the mop-top haircut, this wavy hairstyle for men combines a full choppy crown area, sharply shaved fringe, and an undercut. Bold and daring, the cut is perfect for those with thick hair.
@calicutchris
Make a statement with this ultra-snazzy cut. Extra low temple and back fade and loads of texture on the top make a fantastic contrasting look.
@crispy_jeannie
Style it slicked back with some gel, go for a laid-back, tousled look with pomade, or keep it natural – whatever you choose, the right wavy haircut for men will bring out the charm of your textured locks.
