You will also find options depending on what type of hair you have, be it fine, wavy, curly, thick, thinning, straight, fine hair, and so on. Therefore, without much ado, let’s take a look at our list of mens hairstyles!
1. The Man Bun with Undercut
The uber famous man bun has been on the rise for a few years now and it shows no signs of backing down. However, if you want an upgrade, you can always pair yours with an undercut or a slight fade. Also, did you know they make attachable man buns now? Yup.
2. Mens Hairstyles for Special Occasions
Here’s one which you could wear to your prom or even your wedding. It’s a high pompadour combined with a buzz cut on the sides. The icing on the cake are the two fine braids that accompany the pompadour on each side.
3. Wavy Mens Hairstyles
If you happen to have wavy hair and you love it, the best thing to do is to get a medium, textured and layered cut. Don’t part it on any side and use copious amounts of wax or mousse to give it a tousled look.
4. Long Mens Hairstyles
When you have long hair as a man, there is little you can do about it, other than looking completely awesome and badass. Pro tip – invest in a range of high quality hair care products to take care of that mane.
5. The Short Afro
Keep it funky and cool with a short afro. It’s the best of both worlds since it still has all the benefits of an actual afro but less of all the taking care of it. Use some hair oil to soften it up and make it easier to tame.
6. The Pompadour with Thick Beard
We have now come to the look that has become almost a uniform in the past two or three years. It seems there’s isn’t a man, or celebrity for that matter, alive who hasn’t gone for the sleek back hair plus beard look. Jump on the trend!
7. Long Meets Undercut
Two worlds meet on top of your head with this haircut. One side is cut very short, almost boyish, while the other enjoys a very bohemian, long haired treatment. Be careful because this cut requires a lot of trimming.

Curly haired men are heartthrobs and they know it. There’s just something about the way they run their hands through their hair that gets all the ladies. Let your hair grow and try out some highlights that will bring out your eyes and complexion.
9. The Undercut
Here is a very modern and hip way to look butch. It’s called the undercut and it basically means that you can shave the sides of your head, while leaving the rest of your hair intact. It works great if you’re wearing accessories or have tattoos.
10. Natural Mens Hairstyles
Sometimes, natural really is best. When you have very curly hair, that envelops all around your head in tiny ringlets, why not go for a medium cut? It’s very trendy right now. As you may have noticed, all the male models are wearing it.
11. The Hard Part
The hard part is the line, usually on one side of the head, created with a razor, that used to feature in many of the old classic haircuts. Nowadays, barbers have put some new spins on it, making it a bit more theatrical.
12. Modern Punk Mens Hairstyles
In fact, barbers nowadays have managed to put a new spin on everything, including the old-fashioned cuts, such as the punk one. Here is what it looks like now. By the way, it also includes a beard, so you’d better start growing one.
13. Silver Fox Mens Hairstyles

17. The Man Braid
Braids are gaining more and more attention when it comes to mens hairstyles. They have long stopped being the realm of the ladies and it’s a good thing too. Just look how fabulous a simple three strand braid can look.
18. The Pink Short Afro
If you are really bold and artistic, you can always dye your afro in an unconventional color. This is a very short one in a bubble gum pink shade that we simply fell in love with. The idea here is not to be afraid to experiment with color and texture.
19. The Blonde Afro
In the same way, you could also go for a longer afro, but blonde this time. The really is no barrier left in mens hairstyles in this day and age and the sooner you come to realize that, the better. Enjoy your hair freedom!
20. The Viking Braid
Speaking of braids, we couldn’t possibly miss the daddy of them all, Ragnar Lothbrook’s braid in hit TV series ‘Vikings.’ It’s one long, traditional, warrior braid, with shaved sides, which later on in the series, Ragnar decorates with tattoos.
21. Short Sides and Messy Tops
This is a haircut that will make you look fresh and young. The shaved sides will give your face a much slimmer and slender appearance, while the tousled top will make you seem like a teenager.

24. The Modern Mohawk
The Mohawk was faced with an upgrade as well in the past couple of years. It might have lost a bit of the punk edge it used to have back in its glory days, but it gained a lot of sparkle and glamor in its latest version.
25. Dreads in a Man Bun
You can also combine two trends if you want to show your creativity when it comes to mens hairstyles. For example, here is a gorgeous man bun, made up of dreadlocks. The best part of this look is that you can wear it at the office as well.
26. Curly with a Design
Continuing the idea of combining two trends, here is curly hair with shaved side and hair designs. The main advantage of this cut is that it looks phenomenal from every side you choose to look at it.

28. Long Braids
As mentioned before, braids are truly in this season as far as mens hairstyles are concerned. Here’s a tip, though. Don’t be afraid to grow them as long as you want. Pair them off with a killer beard and you’re good to go.
29. The Jamie Dornan
When actor Jamie Dornan decided to take the lead role in ’50 Shades of Grey’, the world took notice of him and his outstanding good looks. Here he is sporting a massive beard and a haircut which is called a widow’s peak.

Spikes were a huge craze in the 90s and early 2000s, we all know that. However, if you are nostalgic after those lost days, you can revive that hairstyle, provided you upgraded it a little. For example, you can always dye your spikes platinum blonde.

34. The Classic Side Part
When talking about mens hairstyles, we also need to refer to the classic one. And we’ve chosen none other than Cap himself, a very elegant guy, to exemplify the classic side part. Personified by actor Chris Evans, Captain America is hair goals all around.

If you’re a very ‘no fuss’ kind of guy, then this is definitely the type of haircut for you. Grow it to a medium size and then simply use a small blob of wax every time you want to style it. Run your fingers through your hair and you’re done.
36. Business Mens Hairstyles
