Short hair is attractive to men who don't want to spend hours in the mirror in the morning. It is fairly maintenance free, looks fresh and you still have mega options. But... we need to talk about those options. Because it's not like there's only one way to style your short hair. Nope, there are lots of ways. When you start your search online, you often end up overexcited. There are so. many. choices. Time to list the most popular, beautiful and currently trending short hairstyles for men!
Crew Cut
Don't let all the fancy names these hairstyles have fool you. In fact, the Crew Cut is a relatively easy hairstyle. It's easy to keep neat, fresh and stylish. But then you have to know how.
With the crew cut, your hair on your head is a little longer than the sides. At the crown (front of the middle of your head), the hair is again a bit longer. This creates a horizontal line when viewing your hair from the side. Note: The crew cut is particularly suitable if you have a rectangular face, and especially in combination with thicker or fuller hair.
Undercut
The Undercut is somewhat similar to the Crew Cut, yet it is essentially different. The basics remain the same: the hair on your head is longer, the sides shorter and all the way up the crown of your head longer. The difference with the Crew Cut is that your hair on your head and crown is a lot longer. Therefore, the hair can be worn in many different ways. The most popular way to wear the Undercut is to style the longer hair back for a neat cut. This men's short hairstyle is one of the most popular hairstyles of 2022 for good reason.
Buzz Cut
Ah, the Buzz Cut. A true timeless classic that can be seen on the streets every year. With a classic Buzz Cut, the hair is short and the length is the same on every part of your head. The best thing about this hairstyle is that you have absolutely no need to style it. You never have a bad hair day, it is maintenance-free (except for a haircutting visit from time to time), and it is always a neat hairstyle. These short hairstyles for men are ideal for the man who doesn't feel like getting different styling products and spending hours in front of the mirror.
Also, the Buzz Cut has again skyrocketed in popularity due to the mega popular series "Peaky Blinders"! Just pay attention the next time you watch it. This short hairstyle for men is on your screen every episode.
French Crop
The French Crop appeared out of nowhere years ago. This hairstyle was out of the picture for a while, but in 2022 we saw the rise of the French Crop return.
This is one of the hairstyles for men who want short hair. This is because the sides are shaved short, while the hair on top is longer. However, with this haircut, the longer hair on your head must be the same length. With the Crew Cut and the Undercut, the hair often flows subtly, but the French Crop is very clear in its transition. This makes the hairstyle very low maintenance and if your hair is a little thick, you often don't even need to use any product. Ideal, if you ask us!
Ivy League
The Ivy League hairstyles, named after students of famous American universities like Harvard or Princeton. Not for nothing is the hairstyle named after these types of students, given that the hairstyle exudes a certain professionalism and businesslike attitude. It is a classy, neat hairstyle that is just right for nightlife in addition to a business life.
The hair on your head is a little longer than your hair on the side, but no horizontal line is necessary here. The longest hair is officially only 2 cm. Because it is so short, you will not create a big crest, but rather a subtle "mini crest.
Fade with Spike
This hairstyle is perhaps less known, but certainly worth mentioning. Actually, this hairstyle is tremendously similar to the shaved hairstyles. But whereas with the shaved hairstyles you often wear your hair backwards or forwards, with the Fade with Spike you wear your hair in a point upwards. Hence the name "Spike. It takes some time in the morning, but this is an edgy hairstyle that suits many men.
Comb over Fade
This hairstyle became popular in the 1920s and is back on the scene today. This is a modern and soft hair choice that is no longer popular only with true vintage lovers. Nowadays, a modern twist, such as a fade, is often added to this hairstyle which has allowed it to make a real comeback. It is a stylish, edgy option for today's gentleman.
With the Comd over Fade, your hair is shorter on the sides and a lot longer on your head itself. The sides are often shaved up with a fade making it gently over until it hits a parting. At this parting begins the long hair on your head that you subtly wear to one side or back.
Men who like their hairstyle short often become happy with the Comb over Fade. If your face is round or circular, this short cut will make it appear less round. This short hairstyle is suitable if you have thick hair, because the Comb over Fade makes your hair look thinner. So if your hair is already thin, this is not the best hairstyle for you. In that case, opt for the Buzz Cut or the Caesar Cut, for example.
Caesar Cut
Obviously, this hairstyle is inspired by, yes, Julius Caesar. This is a hairstyle that combines classic and modern in a unique way. In fact, this short hairstyle stands out because of the straight line it creates on your forehead.
When you want to have this hairstyle, make sure you comb your hair forward. Make sure that it is not too long, otherwise it will fall too far on your forehead. At the front, a fairly straight line forms on your forehead, of course it doesn't have to be perfectly straight. That way you can still keep it a little playful.
So here they are, our favorite short hairstyles for men who want it short!
