The men's hairstyles of this year vary quite a bit, there is not one clear trend to be seen. Some well-known looks have remained popular, and other hairstyles have come back from their temporary grave. Time to give you some inspiration so you can try out a cool hairstyle that will refresh your look!
1. Permanent Curls
This is an example of a trend that is suitable as both a men's hairstyle or a boys' hairstyle. This style is quite daring and not for everyone, but we are thrilled to see this cool style from the 70s making a comeback!
How to get permanent curls?
To get permanent curls, a visit to the hairdresser is required. With a perm, your hair gets curls, even if you might have straight hair. Curls are popular and often seen as mysterious and charming. So if you want curls, go for it! It's possible. Go to the hairdresser, show what you want, and get permanent curls. A perm often lasts for half a year, after which your hair will gradually return to its own texture.

2. Pageboy Mod Cut
The pageboy mod cut has also been dusted off. This vintage 50s look has received a modern makeover that you see more and more in the streets. Look for hairstyles that many rock stars wore in their glory years, this hairstyle is often seen. So it's no wonder that this bold hairstyle would make a comeback. However, we know; this hairstyle is not suitable for everyone!

Let your locks grow until you have at least the length of a good bob. Have a short fringe cut into your hair and make sure it doesn't fall over your eyebrows - it should be shorter than that. Then make sure you can add a lot of texture to your hair. Do this, for example, with a sea salt spray or a texture spray. And what is equivalent to this hairstyle: wear it with an attitude and show that you, just like all the rock stars before you, can wear this hairstyle like no other.

This is a hairstyle that really needs to match your face shape (and confidence). This hairstyle is suitable if you have an elongated and oval face with full, straight hair. If your face is too short, this hairstyle will make your face appear even shorter, and that's often something you don't want. Additionally, you need a lot of confidence for this hairstyle because, believe us, you will stand out. You will set yourself apart from the gray mass, and honestly, only true rebels can do that.
3. Bro Flow
The bro flow is no longer just seen with Australian surf dudes. Nope, the bro flow has finally won over the tight manbuns that were seen a lot in recent years. Men with medium to long hair nowadays dare to wear their good locks nonchalantly loose, and we think this trend should stay. Don't know what a bro flow is? Bradley Cooper à la “A Star is Born,” look it up. This hairstyle has become so popular that when you search for the movie on Google, you immediately get the suggestion: “Bradley Cooper hair.” Says enough.
How do you get a bro flow?
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow. Stay away from your hair for the coming months and let it grow nicely. You will go through a few somewhat awkward phases, but it ultimately always comes down to the end result. And the nice thing is, once you're through those awkward phases, you really don't have to do much to your hair anymore. This is the definition of an easy hairstyle. If you use the right caring hair products, you won't need to use many products anymore. Of course, you can always add more volume by using a sea salt spray or volumizing powder.
Who is the bro flow suitable for?
The bro flow is suitable for every man, every face type, and every hair type. Whether you have straight, sleek, curly hair or a wave in your hair, you can have the bro flow. It's about having medium to long hair. You can choose to let your hair fall completely backward or just in a middle parting. Plenty of room for personal interpretation with this hairstyle.
4. The mullet

The modern mullet is styled a bit differently than the mullet from the 80s. Although you can, of course, choose to stick to the old-school style! You can create the modern mullet fairly easily. The lines of your hair don't need to be very tight but can remain a bit messy. The hair above your ears to your forehead should be made short, but do this in a slightly tighter line. The hair on your forehead is left and styled forward. The hair behind your ears is longer and falls backward. The rest of your hair can be styled loosely and left to hang as you like.
