Hairstyles for men with thick hair can encompass any style — from short to long and sleek to messy — that creates shape and definition without appearing too bulky.
A short cut is a natural choice for low-maintenance individuals, but you can still flaunt a longer look with the right style. The modern mullet or shag is an excellent way to sport a longer hairstyle, keeping it light and manageable for denser hair.

Here’s a photo gallery of popular hairstyles for men with thick hair. Choose one that aligns better with your aesthetic!
#1 Timeless Side Part for Men with Thick Hair
The timeless side part for dense hair requires minimal upkeep. Simply use a comb and choose your preferred side; you’re all set to exude sophistication. For a modern twist, consider shaving the sides to achieve a disconnected undercut look.
#2: Textured Crop Hairstyle for Mature Men
A textured crop for mature men is timeless and ideal for men with medium to thick hair. This stylish cut endures 6-8 weeks without appearing disheveled. The front strands are longer with softened edges. Short hairstyles for men can be styled in numerous ways to achieve a rugged masculine look.
For men with thick hair, it’s a casual style that’s simple to manage in the mornings. It’s a traditional form designed to highlight masculinity, suitable for various gentlemen. I suggest using a matte pomade to enhance such a hairstyle for men.
#3: Frosted Mullet
Mullets are making a comeback with a vengeance, as showcased by this frosted mullet. The hair has been previously lightened and toned to achieve the grey hue, and a great way to maintain the tone is to use a purple shampoo. This mullet has been cut to resemble a shag style with choppy layers and a good blow-dry for volume. Sea salt spray and styling powder will be ideal for achieving the look. The beauty of this style is that it looks just as good in its natural state as it does when styled.
#4: Voluminous Hair with Facial Hair
If your hair lacks definition, adding a voluminous texture, along with facial hair, can be an effective solution. This hairstyle not only works well with various hair types but also minimizes bulk on the sides for a streamlined appearance and prolongs the life of your haircut. Request your barber to create texture on top, which will make styling easier and facilitate hair growth. Don’t forget to ask for product suggestions tailored to your hair type. Typically, while most hair types benefit from matte clay, those with fine and thin hair should steer clear of shiny products to avoid a greasy appearance.
#5: Polished High Fade
This polished high fade for men is reminiscent of Jason Statham’s haircut. This thicker hair is trimmed all around and maintains all of the hair in the short to medium thick hair range.
#6: Disconnected Long Top with Shaved Sides
If you’re seeking a longer hairstyle, disconnected long top with shaved sides might be just what you need. It has faded short on the back and sides, then blended to the temple. The top section has been disconnected and left long for him to style as he prefers. To achieve this look, you must dry some sea salt spray into it for the base of the hold. Then, finish off with some styling powder. Remember to ask your barber to recommend some products.
#7: Elegant Pompadour Prep Hairstyle
This elegant pompadour prep hairstyle is high yet soft. Try Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray. It does double duty, providing a strong hold and a medium shine finish. Styling hair with a round brush while blow drying is essential to creating a look that lasts throughout the day.
#8: Textured Shaggy Brush Cut for a Casual Look
This textured shaggy brush cut features a thick and messy finish that’s simple to achieve. With its inherently messy nature, just run your hands through your hair for effortless styling. I suggest using Layrite pomade to maintain the look of this thick men’s hairstyle. This cut is well-suited for men with naturally thick and unruly hair. This means your hair likely won’t settle neatly without considerable product. It’s best to utilize minimal product while ensuring the style remains intact throughout the day. This casual textured cut is an excellent choice for gentlemen with thick hair!
#9: Tousled Wings Hairstyle
A tousled hairstyle with wings is a suitable medium-length look for men. This style can also work for boys. This style works best on thick, semi-curled hair. To add extra volume and separation, you can use a texture spray like Oribe’s Dry Texture. Trim your hair every 6-8 weeks if you wish to maintain this style. If you want to grow your hair out, trim every 10-12 weeks instead.
#10: Stylish Mid Fade for Thick Wavy Hair
For individuals with thick wavy hair, a mid fade is a chic and trendy option that brings a hint of modern flair to your style. This haircut showcases shorter sides that seamlessly transition into longer hair on top, creating a striking contrast that suits both straight and wavy hair. To emphasize the natural texture of your hair, request your hairstylist to incorporate some layers for added movement and definition. When styling, opt for a lightweight product like sea salt spray. This will bring out the texture and keep your style intact. For a glossy finish, choose a pomade formulated for thick hair.
#11: Textured Modern Thick Mid-Fade Haircut with Facial Hair
This textured, modern, thick mid-fade haircut for men emphasizes its volume. The cut showcases the natural charm of thick, healthy locks. Feel free also to grow out facial hair to enhance the look.
#12: Polished and Forward Brushed Crew Cut
This polished and forward brushed crew cut features ultra-dense dark hair. It’s styled closely to the head for a refined, clean-cut appearance. Grab OSiS Gelastic for a strong hold with a high-shine finish. Ask your barber to create this thick haircut using clippers through the sides and back. Then, request scissors in the top area. The two lengths can then be blended with texturizing scissors.
#13: Mid-Length Messy Cut with a Beard Fade
If you’re looking to update your usual fade haircut, consider this mid-length messy cut paired with a beard fade! This offers a polished approach to a more laid-back hairstyle.
Spend time applying some styling cream on towel-dried hair after a shower. You’ll be prepared for the rest of the day with a soft, natural hold and enough control for a precise style. This brings out the best style if you use a Malin and Goetz Sage Styling Cream.
#14: Bold Mid Fade Haircut
Explore the bold mid fade haircut, perfect for professionals and style-conscious individuals alike. One advantage of this haircut is its versatility, allowing for shiny, sleek looks or a matte, textured finish.

The K-Pop inspired cut is ideal for those seeking a refined yet relaxed vibe.
#16: Chic Short Haircut
Nice and simple, no better way to describe this chic short haircut – and the best way to showcase a full, lush head of hair. Make sure to tell your barber, “not too short.” This style will require a long clipper guard on the sides or a pro that is great with the scissors on the sides. Leave enough length on the top to fold back, and you’ve got a timeless gentlemen’s haircut.
#17: Bold Silver Mohawk with No Fade
A bold silver mohawk is an exceptional look for men with high-density hair. This haircut is ideal for showcasing an edgy and fashionable style. Be sure to ask your barber for a zero-fade mohawk, as this will guarantee it has maximum impact. For optimal results, use matte clay or pomade to keep flyaways under control and enhance the definition of the cut. This hairstyle could be just right for you if you have an oval face shape. Just make sure not to go too short on the sides so it doesn’t overshadow your features. To complete the look, apply Bedhead by TIGI Hard Head hairspray in moderation. It provides hold without making your hair too stiff.
#18: Incredible Mullet with Textured Fringe
This incredible mullet with a textured fringe is a stylish and adaptable hairstyle ideal for men with thick hair. This distinctive haircut merges the classic mullet shape with a contemporary and chic twist. This haircut works especially well for those with thick hair, as the added volume and texture enhance the overall style. To keep the look fresh, a texturizing spray or cream will assist in accentuating the natural texture of the hair and adding definition to the fringe.
#19: Bald Fade with a Fuller Long Top
The bald fade paired with a fuller, longer top enhances style and diversity in men’s grooming. This haircut design creates a sleek transition from faded sides and back to an extended length on top. The contrasting hair lengths present a chic, contemporary look with a range of styling options. This fade style emphasizes the length and volume of the top, ensuring a captivating and distinct presence. Men seeking a polished yet edgy appearance often choose this hairstyle. For styling, simply apply a quality styling product to add texture and support to the longer top.
#20: Professional Haircut for Thick Wavy Hair
This professional haircut for thick wavy hair is ideal for dark-haired men—especially those with thick hair looking for a corporate-appropriate style. Men with thick wavy hair can also maintain a youthful appearance with this hairstyle. To style, consider using American Crew Firm Hold Gel. It’s non-flaking, alcohol-free, and has a low pH to prevent scalp dryness. Wavy hair can be challenging to manage. If you desire more control, use a blow dryer to complete the drying process after applying the gel.
#21: Classic Side Part with Low Fade and Long Curly Top
This classic side part + fade with a long curly top is a timeless choice. The low skin fade is ideal for short to medium-thick hair. The side part is a staple cut that any man can pull off. This low fade looks especially good on men with a bit of wave in their hair. When styling this short men’s haircut, consider using Uppercut Deluxe Matt Clay. It works wonders on wavy hairstyles and for men who wish to maintain that thick natural curl and wave.
#22: Stylish Fade and Beard Fade
If you’re a fashion-forward individual, check out this stylish fade and beard! Next time you visit your barber, plan to show them this picture. It features a zero drop fade on the sides and a textured scissor cut on top.
I recommend styling a man’s hair style with matte clay like Hand De Fuko’s Quicksand for maximum texture and hold.
#23: The Sleek V Cut
The sleek V cut is a contemporary hairstyle, ideal for men with thick hair. This style features longer lengths on top, tapering down to a V shape at the back. One significant advantage of the sleek V cut is its ability to provide structure to thick locks, making it easy to style and manage. To enhance the appearance, ask your hair specialist to utilize point cutting or texturizing techniques for additional movement and depth.
#24: Stylish Spiky Mullet
If you are looking for a fresh take on your regular fade haircut, explore this stylish spiky mullet. To achieve this style, first, make sure that you have enough length in the back to support this look. Then I recommend that you ask for a fade around the temple area for contrast and shape. Style with matte clay for straighter types and a curl creme for curly types.
#25: Styled Crew Cut
This styled crew cut haircut is fantastic on hair with a very coarse texture or hair that is extremely thick. Try Bed Head B for Men Power Play Firm Finish Gel. It provides control without flaking. Gel works better on styled hair with a thick texture. This is because gels offer more control and structure to stubborn hair textures.
#26: Burst Fade Hairstyle for Men with Thick Hair
The best way to describe a burst fade is that it’s a fade around the ears leaving length at the back, resembling a faux hawk. If someone is uncertain, I do recommend it for a rounder face. Keeping the sides tight and more on top elongates the face from the front and back. How tight I take it depends on how thick my client’s hair is and how short they desire to go.
#27: Contemporary Slicked Back Hairstyle with Taper Fade
This voluminous modern, slick back hairstyle with a taper fade is timeless. To achieve this slicked-back hair, blow dry it with your hands. After drying, apply a matte cream product such as Layrite Matte Cream. Though this is a hairstyle for men with thick and straight hair, it’s a versatile look that can work on finer hair, too! This taper fade is one of those men’s hairstyles that requires some time to style each day.
#28: Punk Rock Choppy Hair with Fringe
This edgy choppy hair with fringe embodies punk rock vibes! The hairstyle features a bold look that blends sleek and fragmented textures.
#29: Richly Textured Short Hairstyle
Not everyone prefers a clipper cut, as demonstrated by this richly textured short hairstyle. The sides have been trimmed, leaving the sideburn natural, but the base of the neck has been tapered. Long layers have been incorporated into the top and styled with a volume spray and possibly sea salt spray. Maintenance does come with this, as you must style it daily.
#30: Short Bald Fade on the Side Accompanied by Natural Twists
This thick haircut features a short bald fade on the side combined with natural twists. Any man with a natural curl pattern might consider this hairstyle. It’s quite straightforward and requires minimal upkeep. Use Twist Sponge along with curl cream during styling. Begin with water, apply cream, then twist and blowdry simultaneously on a warm setting.
#31: Refined High Fade French Crop
A refined high fade French crop on thick hair features the sides and back fading to 0.5 while maintaining a heavy, textured top. Preserving the length on the top of the haircut provides a unique contrast with the sides.
This cut is ideal for thick-haired men who wish to keep considerable length through their hair on top. The high fade suits men who enjoy styling or sweeping their fringe over. If you prefer to retain a more natural, effortless look, then this haircut is perfect for that as well. My best advice is to use Chambers Shaper spray while the hair is wet, then dry it completely. Sea salt hair spray won’t make your hair greasy, providing a light hold.
#32: Stylish Layered Haircut Combover for Mature Men
This refined layered haircut combover for mature men with thick hair is sharp! The longer length on top and sides makes it classic. Try Gage for Men Shaping Cream for hold, flexibility, and a medium finish. Always work products through your entire head of hair. Working product through only one section will result in uneven styling and finish.
#33: Contemporary Thatch Combover Featuring a Defined Hard Part
This contemporary thatch combover featuring a defined hard part is a classic thick hairstyle. A hard part is a line in the hair created with a trimmer or razor. This is done instead of parting or sectioning the hair with a comb or brush. This thick cut is a fade transition with a light-to-dark contrast. Use pomade with a shine on your long hair to achieve this style for thick hair.
#34: Caesar Haircut with Skin Fade
This stylish Caesar haircut features a skin fade crop ideal for thick hair. It stands out as one of the most popular hairstyles today. With a nod to 90s fashion and a contemporary twist, it seamlessly blends into the scalp while keeping the top full and natural. Thick hairstyles like this are particularly flattering for men with a strong hairline at the front. Those with straight, thick hair might find it challenging to achieve texture on the top. For styling, apply a texture spray and clay, then gently blow dry it into your damp hair using a diffuser.
#35: Dense Hair with a Drop Fade
For individuals with dense, coarse or textured hair, this drop fade haircut is both fashionable and low-maintenance. To achieve this look, discuss a bald fade with your stylist. This cut reduces hair bulk on the sides while allowing ample length on top. Above your brow, the hair can be thinned for better management. Apply styling cream from your hair’s roots to ends. Then air dry to showcase your natural texture and reduce frizz.
#36: Textured Wavy Mid-Length Haircut
Many men are choosing to embrace longer hairstyles. This textured wavy mid-length haircut requires fewer visits to the barbers and allows for more personal time. To style, I suggest applying some sea salt spray to your hair while drying. If you blow it back, it will establish a solid foundation for hold. Remember, the final product depends on the desired look. Utilize pomade for a shiny finish, matte clay for a subtle sheen, and styling powder for a natural appearance.
#37: Curly Hair with Tapered Sides for a Stylish Look
This look showcases naturally curly hair styled with a mid-fade ideal for thick hair. This cut complements curls beautifully, but is also suitable for men with curly or straight hair opting for a men’s taper haircut. For styling, utilize Elegance Wax and Pomade on the top of your head, applying a minimal amount for that effortless messy appearance. If you have a beard, enhance it with Elegance Hair and Beard Oil for a softer touch with a subtle shine. These voluminous curls paired with tapered sides offer a refreshing change for any gentleman looking to elevate his style. Regular upkeep with the aforementioned hair products is recommended.
#38: Stylishly Groomed Thick Hair
Nothing is more classic and fashionable than this stylishly groomed thick hair! This men’s haircut is the perfect way to showcase your long locks. It’s also keeping the ease of buzzed down, out of the way, and over the ear sides. If you want a haircut like this, you can ask your barber for a fade undercut on the sides. Just ask for a length on top that suits your texture and style. I suggest at least 4-6 inches for this look!
#39: Messy and Textured with Long Voluminous Hair on Top
Messy and textured with long voluminous hair on top is a sleek style for many men. Try Kevin Murphy FREE.HOLD styling paste to achieve this look. Work the product through your hair, piecing and twisting specific strands. That will give you a textured, effortlessly stylish appearance.
#40: Textured Shag with Layers
A textured shag with layers is a medium to short cut styled around the head to create tons of movement. It also adds a shattered feel around the ends. Use Bed Head B for Men Multi-Tasking Grooming Cream. It’s a lightweight cream that gives natural definition and control. For extra hold, opt for a medium-hold pliable styling paste instead. Men with an oval, square, or pear face shape with thick straight hair will wear this style well.
#41: Subtle Low Taper with Creative Shaved Designs
Maybe you don’t want a haircut that’s overly short. Or you’re aiming to transition your longer locks into something sleek and polished. Either way, this low taper with shaved designs could be the perfect choice for you.
If you visit your barber, ask for a low zero fade on the sides. Request enough left on top to stay out of the eyes when it falls forward but covers the forehead. With such men haircuts, leave a volume powder to maintain the look nicely styled at home.
#42: Trendy Burst Fade with a Beard Blend
The burst fade with a beard blend is a fashionable and modern haircut. It combines two distinct fading techniques. The burst fade haircut creates a seamless transition from short to longer hair on the sides. The beard blend integrates the facial hair into the fade. This combo results in a sharp and crisp look that enhances both the haircut and the beard with few drawbacks. See your barber every 2-4 weeks for upkeep.
#43: Full Top with a Bald Fade
Some prefer a shorter style on the sides for convenience. This full top with a bald fade could be what you’re seeking. It has faded to the skin around the ears and blended heavily into the top. This fade suits the thicker hair type and dark hair as it stands out more. Ask for your barber’s advice, but I recommend a good styling powder for a natural hold. My preferred brand is Crazy Bull Space Dust Powder.
#44: Elevated Comb Over
Whether you’re working towards longer hair or considering a shorter style, why not inquire about this elevated comb over? Not only can you achieve a refined and stylish look with this cut, but you can also embrace a relaxed, casual vibe. Opt for a slick back or a matte clay to help enhance texture in your fresh hairstyle.
#45: Textured Top with Disconnected Undercut for Thick Hair
Try a textured top with a disconnected undercut for thick hair that tends to be unruly or challenging to style. The texture is a fantastic way to make coarse hair simpler to manage. An effortless style with a textured top and disconnected undercut is an “intentionally messy” look that can be accomplished with some tousled waves or curls.
#46: Textured Brushed Forward French Crop with a Mid Fade
Are you looking to switch things up from your typical buzz cut? This textured brushed forward French crop with a mid fade is one of the most stylish cuts of the year. And it seems like it’s here to stay. I suggest asking your barber for a zero fade on the sides and a scissor cut on top.
Do this to keep some much-needed length for this style. It’s even better if they can point cut or use a razor for added movement. Pick up the thickest styling clay you can find. Try Hanz De Fuko’s Quicksand. It provides men’s haircuts with some height and shapes any cropped fringe around the face at home.
#47: Edgar Hairstyle for Thick Hair
A celebrity popularized the Edgar style; it’s a contemporary take on the blunt crop. The Edgar style features shaved sections near the ears that fade towards the temples, forming a distinctive shape through a unique blending technique. If you’re considering an Edgar style, bring along reference photos for your barber. However, keep in mind to think about your hair type as this look may not suit every hair type.
#48: Casual Medium-Length Texture for Thick Wavy Hair
This casual medium-length texture for thick wavy hair shows off tons of movement. Try Aveda Control Paste when styling. It gives thick hair a highly texturized yet low-sheen style that’s smooth and not sticky. Using a texture cream on towel-dried hair and allowing it to air dry will give it the most natural finish. If you like a more controlled hold, use a styling gel instead.
To style thick, wavy hair:
- Towel dry hair to remove excess moisture.
- Work a quarter-sized amount of high-hold texture cream through hair.
- Use fingertips to style hair.
- Allow hair to air dry the rest of the way for the best results.
#49: Medium-Length Hairstyle with a Side Part
You don’t need to go extremely short every time you get a haircut! Consider a medium-length hairstyle with a side part instead. Medium-length to longer hair is quite trendy right now, so there’s no better moment for you to explore something new!
#50: Distinctive V-Cut Design
Are you searching for a timeless hairstyle with a contemporary flair? Ask your stylist or barber to try a wedge haircut—this style of cut pairs well with a v-shaped fade. A combo like this will allow you to enjoy the advantages of both short and long styles simultaneously! Try using a matte pomade to effortlessly maintain the look.
#51: Elevated Pompadour Hairstyle for Men
This elevated pompadour hairstyle for men with thick hair is timeless yet exceptionally fashionable. This high pomp haircut showcases a full head of hair topped with a long section. For best results, I recommend using a grease pomade to create distinct comb lines and added height. Thick haircuts and styles like this pompadour are ideal for men seeking a refined appearance.
#52: Thick Mid-Fade with Faux Hawk Style
This thick mid-fade with faux hawk style haircut maintains balance and avoids excessive volume. Combined with facial hair, it creates a striking appearance. Men with thick hair have an advantage in styling; a mid-fade is ideal for achieving this look. Complete with strong hairspray or wax to ensure your hair remains lifted and bold.
#53: Textured Back & Effortless Curly Crop
This textured back and effortless curly crop blends high volume with thick hair. It’s styled with texture, combed back, and exudes a natural appearance. Apply a light layer of sea salt spray along with a matte finish clay for the perfect look. The more organic the finish, the better. This is the high and thick volume hairstyle that men with thicker hair would appreciate due to its easy maintenance compared to a shorter clipper cut.
#54: Modern Professional Combover Part
This modern professional thick combover part hairstyle for men is relaxed yet polished. This cut features soft blending on the sides, with the part being long enough to feather back. To achieve this style, use a blow dryer to add as much volume as possible. Apply a small amount of matte clay product to keep the style intact while ensuring a natural appearance.
#55: British-Inspired Fade with Short Sides
This British-inspired fade with short sides creates a thick, wavy texture paired with a smooth fade. Men’s hairstyles like this will eventually make their way to North America! Any salt spray would be a key element to give your hair texture. Adding some texturizing and volumizing powder will also aid in styling. The cropped fringe style is a great haircut for men looking to stand out. It makes the dapper hairstyles men with thick hair can wear. It’s easy to style and even easier to maintain.
#56: Chic French Crop with Buzz Fade
A chic French crop with a buzz fade is a stylish way to refresh your hair this season. This look begins with a mid fade, starting from a zero. Then, it transitions into a textured short length on top. A unique feature is a wispy fringe covering the hairline. A qualified stylist can customize this style to your face shape with ease while considering any facial hair that may need to be blended into this look. For the best results, style with a matte paste similar to Quicksand by Hanz De Fuko at home.
#57: Bold Undercut with Defined Part
A bold undercut with a defined part is an exceedingly trendy choice for men with thick hair. Undercuts allow for a portion of the hair to remain short and neat while providing the opportunity for longer lengths. Incorporating a defined part line simplifies styling and elevates the look for more formal occasions.
#58: Sleek Line Up and Bald Fade Hairstyle
This sleek lineup and bald fade hairstyle is simple to upkeep. A finely executed skin fade will always remain stylish. To achieve this thick look, utilize precise hair-cutting and blowdrying methods. Consider using Skilledbarber Fiber Gum. It provides a low to medium hold.
#59 Relaxed Curls for Men’s Medium Thick Hair
Relaxed curls for men’s medium-thick hair? Absolutely! A wavy haircut shorter on the sides and left longer on top creates a casual look. This is a perfect opportunity to enhance your thick hair with a semi-curled texture!
Then, try American Crew Grooming Spray. It’s a versatile hold finishing spray that can be applied to damp or dry hair to maintain your style. It offers control with a soft, touchable finish.
#60: Mid-Fade Hairstyle for Dense Hair
The more volume your hair has, the better shape you can achieve. This mid-fade hairstyle has been tailored to suit the client’s thick locks. The fade has been kept low and arched towards the top. This complements the disconnected top as it supports the weight of the look. If you wish to adopt a similar style, I suggest using sea salt spray for styling. This will provide a strong base for creating hold. I recommend finishing with some styling powder to perfect the look.
#61: Modern Short Faux Hawk
A modern fauxhawk with dense, dark hair creates a sleek and contemporary appearance. Try American Crew Molding Clay. It provides concentrated styling power that lets you manipulate your hair. Oval, square, and round shapes with thicker, coarser hair types can confidently wear this hairstyle.
#62: Stylish Combover Short Haircut
This stylish combover short haircut for thick hair employs all elements of barbering. A thorough description of this cut would be a combover with a mid-bald fade and the top trimmed. I recommend those who wear these styles for men to use a light pomade. Many guys over-saturate their hair with pomade or gel, but ideally, just a small amount is sufficient. This hairstyle is for a man with thicker hair but can be customized for any individual. Ask your barber to shorten the top of your hair if you’re active.
#63: Thick Hair: Full and Choppy Styles
Not every customer desires a fade; some prefer longer styles. This cut was crafted entirely with scissors using various techniques, such as point cutting, slicing, and texturing. The hair features a natural wave, allowing for beautifully textured curls to be styled into the top while maintaining some straight texture for this full and choppy look.
#64: Styled Spiky Hair with a Tapered Quiff Design
This styled spiky hair with a tapered quiff design mimics an undercut. The distinction lies in the seamless blending through the thick sides. Try OSiS Grip for additional style support while blowdrying. This thick quiff with undercut can be challenging to convey to a stylist or barber. Always bring pictures to illustrate the style you desire for your thick hair.
#65: Voluminous Surfer Hair with a Trendy Undercut
This voluminous surfer hair with a trendy undercut is a super simple long style for thick hair. It also works well on men with straight hair texture. Add a shaved line to create a thick undercut with a hard part style. Split hair slightly (don’t create an obvious side part) over one eye rather than right down the middle. Stay away from parting the hair in the middle. That tends to say “geek” rather than “chic.”
#66: Bold Buzz Cut
The effortless bold buzz hairstyle is invigorating, polished, and can be styled with ease.
#67: Mid-Fade with a Textured Top
Some like to add texture to their straight hair. Pay attention to how this will give it more movement, as seen with this mid-fade with a textured top. It has been taken down to the skin around the ears and faded up, leaving more hair to transition into the top. The top will have been cut using a technique called point cutting. This will leave the ends of your hair textured. I suggest using a good styling powder for the best styling.
#68: The Ivy League Style + Back-Swept Look
The thick Ivy League style + back-swept look is a refined and timeless classic haircut. This is a longer version of a crew cut. This thick hairstyle is long enough for parting, with short sides. New barbershops come close with metrosexual cuts, but they’re not quite pompous.
#69: Textured Cut Featuring Highlights and a Glossy Finish
This texturized hairstyle featuring highlights and a glossy finish brings depth and flair to men’s hair. It performs exceptionally well on thick, wavy hair types. For styling, opt for a matte paste with a stronghold. American Crew Fiber is an excellent choice, as it provides a natural look while still maintaining a strong hold.
#70: Stylish Faux Hawk Short Haircut
This stylish faux hawk short haircut is one of those elegant hairstyles for men with thick hair. Its shaved sides and spiky short hair upfront make any guy with thicker hair appear youthful.
#71: Medium Fade with Textured Fringe
A medium-faded cut with a textured fringe is an excellent way to refresh the fade hairstyle. A textured fringe, besides offering hairline coverage, also highlights the front visual texture of your face. For this haircut, ask your barber for a mid-bald fade to lessen side bulk and avoid a too-narrow face appearance. Additionally, request a textured scissor cut on top for a forward-cropped look.
#72: Stylish Deep Side Part Combover
This is a stylish deep side part combover on coarser hair. This style is parted deep to one side, giving it tons of touchable lift and a high-stakes cut. Try Redken for Men Loose Ends Liquid Pomade. It gives longer lengths a mild, flexible finish. For extra control, add a bit of medium or high-hold aerosol hairspray.
