2. Messy Short Curly Hairstyles for Men

Is there another thing ladies love about curls? Yes, when they’re messy and unkempt. It reminds them of when you were a young teen in high school or a heartthrob in college, and all the girls were chasing after you.

This haircut is all about being serious in the back with a very short and classic cut and having a handful of pretty curls falling carelessly over your forehead and just above your eyebrow line. Tip – let her brush them away from your eyes.

If you want to look slick and elegant as far as short curly hairstyles for men are concerned, we suggest you consider a hard part. It’s way better than your natural part, and it will allow for some depth in your hair.

Short curly hairstyles for men can also be tamed down if you want them to. All you need is some high-quality hair care product to add some moisture into your locks and a soft brush, and you’re there.

There are so many amazing things going on with this hairstyle that it’s hard to focus on just one.

Now that’s a haircut!

13. Asymmetrical Short Curly Hairstyles for Men
