Textured Crop with Tousled Fringe — Mens Short Top & Tapered Sides
A modern textured crop with a tousled fringe and tapered sides suits men seeking low-to-medium length styling with natural movement. Best for oval, square and heart-shaped faces (it softens angular features and adds height for rounder faces). Start with towel-damped hair: apply a light sea-salt spray or volumizing mousse from roots to ends. Blow-dry while lifting the hair at the crown using your fingers or a vent brush for separation; use a diffuser on wavy hair to enhance texture. Finish by working a pea-sized amount of matte paste or clay through the top with fingertips to define pieces and create a lived-in, matte finish; lock with a light-hold hairspray if needed. Tools required: blow-dryer, vent/round brush or diffuser, wide-tooth comb, and sharp barber scissors for trims. Products: sea-salt spray or mousse, heat protectant, matte paste/clay, light hairspray. Difficulty: easy–medium — straightforward daily styling but requires technique to shape texture. Maintenance: trim every 4–6 weeks to keep the taper and fringe clean, use a weekly deep conditioner, and avoid heavy oils that flatten the style.
Textured Voluminous Top with Soft Taper — Modern Mens Hairstyle
This look features a rounded, textured top with a soft tapered side—ideal for men who want natural volume and movement. Face shape suitability: flatters oval, square and diamond faces by adding height and balance; it also helps round faces by creating vertical length. It’s best avoided if you have an already long/rectangular face unless you keep the top shorter. Styling technique: start with towel‑damped hair, work a small amount of sea‑salt spray or lightweight mousse through roots to mid lengths, then blow‑dry with a diffuser or with your head upside down while scrunching to build lift. Finish by raking a pea‑sized matte clay or paste through the ends with fingers to define strands and separate texture. Tools needed: blow dryer (diffuser optional), wide‑tooth comb or fingers, clipper/scissor for maintenance. Products required: volumizing mousse or sea‑salt spray, matte clay/paste, light hold hairspray and a weekly nourishing conditioner. Difficulty level: moderate — daily styling takes 5–10 minutes. Maintenance tips: trim every 4–6 weeks to keep the taper neat, avoid heavy oils that collapse volume, condition regularly and sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce breakage.
Clean-Shaven Head (Bald) — Modern Mens Shaved Hairstyle
This clean-shaven head is a bold, low-maintenance look that flatters oval and square faces best and can be made to suit round or heart-shaped faces by adding facial hair to create balance. Styling technique: start by trimming remaining hair with clippers (use a #1 or shorter) to even length, then wet shave with a high-quality razor or an electric rotary shaver for a smooth finish. Shave with the grain first, then carefully against it only if needed for extra smoothness. Tools needed: hair clippers, electric shaver or safety razor, precision trimmer for edges, large mirror, and a soft towel. Products required: pre-shave oil, gentle shaving cream or gel, alcohol-free aftershave balm, lightweight scalp moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Difficulty level: easy to moderate — technique is simple but you must manage nicks and irritation. Maintenance tips: shave or buzz every 2–5 days to keep the silhouette clean, exfoliate the scalp weekly to prevent ingrown hairs, moisturize daily, and apply sunscreen whenever exposed. For a refined finish, keep neck and hairline regularly touched up by a barber.
Modern Short Crop with High Skin Fade — Clean, Textured Mens Haircut
This low-profile short crop with a high skin fade and lightly textured top suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces particularly well — it sharpens jawlines and keeps a neat silhouette. Men with round faces can use slightly more length on top to add height and balance proportions. To achieve the look, ask your barber for a high skin fade on the sides blended into 6–12 mm on top, with point-cut texturing for movement. Styling technique: work with towel‑damp hair, warm a pea‑size amount of matte paste between palms and rake through roots to tips, then tousle with fingertips to create separation. Tools needed: professional clippers (guards #0–3), barber trimmer for the skin line, scissors for top texturing, comb and a blow dryer for added lift. Products required: matte clay or paste for texture, optional sea-salt spray for extra grip, and a light hold hairspray for longevity. Difficulty level: low to moderate — easy to maintain daily but requires precise barber work. Maintenance tips: trim every 3–4 weeks to keep the fade sharp, use a gentle shampoo and conditioner, and protect exposed scalp with SPF when outdoors.
Clean-Shaven Bald Look for Men — Smooth Scalp Grooming & Maintenance
Suitability: The clean-shaven bald look flatters most face shapes but is especially strong on oval and square faces. Men with round faces should consider retaining light stubble on the jawline to add definition. If you have scalp irregularities or sensitivity, consult a barber or dermatologist before shaving fully. Technique: Start by trimming any hair down to a short guard (1–2 mm) with clippers. Soften the scalp with a warm shower, apply a quality shaving cream or gel, and shave in short, controlled strokes. Use the grain on the first pass and a gentle cross-grain second pass only if needed. Finish with a cold rinse to close pores. Tools & products: Electric clippers, safety or cartridge razor, shaving brush (optional), pre-shave oil, moisturizing aftershave balm, gentle exfoliating scrub, and broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+. A mirror and good lighting are essential. Difficulty & maintenance: Low-to-moderate — requires practice for a smooth finish. Maintain by shaving every 2–7 days depending on growth, moisturizing daily, exfoliating weekly, and applying sunscreen whenever exposed to the sun to protect the scalp.
Textured Crop with Low Fade — Modern Mens Short Haircut
This textured crop with a low fade is a versatile short haircut that suits oval, square and balanced round face shapes — you can lengthen or shorten the top to better frame longer or heart-shaped faces. To style: start with clean, towel-dried hair. Use clippers with a #1–#3 guard for the sides and a gentle low fade toward the temples; leave 1–2 inches on top. Texturize the crown with point-cutting scissors or a clipper-over-comb to create separation and movement. Blow-dry while lifting the hair with your fingers for added texture. Tools needed: clippers with guards, trimmer for edges, scissors for texturizing, comb, and a blow-dryer (optional). Recommended products: a matte paste or clay for natural hold and separation, sea-salt spray for extra grit, and a lightweight leave-in conditioner for scalp health. Difficulty level: easy–moderate — straightforward for a barber, achievable at home with steady clipper skills. Maintenance tips: refresh the fade every 3–5 weeks, trim the top every 4–6 weeks to preserve shape, shampoo 2–3 times weekly, condition regularly, and apply a scalp moisturizer if you notice dryness.
Textured Sculpted Quiff — Modern Mens Pompadour
This textured sculpted quiff suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces best; men with round faces benefit from higher volume at the crown and tighter sides to add length, while longer faces should keep crown height moderate. To style: towel-dry hair to damp, apply a heat protectant and a small amount of volumizing mousse or sea-salt spray at the roots. Use a hairdryer with a nozzle and a medium round brush to lift the hair at the front and sweep it back, directing airflow from roots to tips for lasting hold. Finish by working a matte clay or medium-hold paste through mid-lengths with fingers for separation and a natural matte finish, and lock shape with a light-hold hairspray for extra hold. Tools needed: hairdryer with nozzle, round brush, vent brush or wide-tooth comb, and scissors/clippers for the cut. Products required: heat protectant, volumizing pre-styler, matte clay or paste, light hairspray. Difficulty: moderate — requires daily blow-drying and shaping. Maintenance: trim every 3–5 weeks to keep shape, shampoo 2–3 times weekly with conditioner, avoid heavy oils, and rework with water and product between washes.
Mens Short Textured Crop with Forward Fringe
A modern short textured crop with a forward, slightly blunt fringe — versatile for men looking for a low-profile, contemporary look. Best suited to oval, square and long face shapes (it shortens the forehead visually), while men with round faces should add height at the crown or opt for a side-swept fringe to avoid accentuating width. To style: start with towel‑dried hair, apply a light sea‑salt spray for grip, then blow‑dry forward using fingers or a small round brush to shape the fringe. Work a pea‑sized matte clay or paste between fingertips and tousle the top for texture, keeping the sides neat and blended. Tools needed: barber scissors and clippers (for cuts), thinning shears for softening, blow dryer, vent or round brush, and a fine-tooth comb. Products required: sea‑salt spray, matte clay/paste, and a light hold hairspray for all-day stay. Difficulty: easy–moderate — quick daily styling but requires skilled cutting for the fringe. Maintenance: visit the barber every 3–5 weeks, avoid heavy conditioners that weigh down texture, and refresh with dry shampoo between washes.
Textured Curtain Fringe — Modern Medium-Length Mens Hairstyle
A textured curtain fringe is a contemporary, low-maintenance look that suits oval, heart and oblong face shapes particularly well; it also softens strong jawlines on square faces but can add width that round faces should manage carefully. Start with medium-length top hair (about 3–5 inches) and shorter, tapered sides. After towel-drying, apply a light heat protectant and a sea-salt or texturizing spray to boost natural movement. Blow-dry using a round brush or your fingers, directing hair away from the center part to form the curtain shape; a vent brush or medium round brush helps create subtle volume at the roots. Finish by working a pea-size amount of matte paste or light clay through the lengths for definition and flexible hold; a small dab of low-shine pomade can be used on the fringe for a cleaner finish. Tools needed: blow dryer, round or vent brush, fine-tooth comb, and scissors/thinning shears for upkeep. Difficulty: easy–moderate. Maintenance: trim sides every 4–6 weeks and tidy fringe every 3–5 weeks, use a nourishing shampoo/conditioner, and refresh texture daily with a bit of water and product.
