There are plenty of curly hairstyles for men to consider. Although hairstyles for curly hair can be tricky to manage, there’s no reason to chop all of your hair off. With the appropriate cut and product for your specific texture, you can achieve a fantastic-looking style at nearly any length.
Find some inspiration and select your favorite cut below to share with your barber or stylist. Here are the top curly hairstyles for men:
Textured Curly Top with Tapered Sides
You are always best to embrace your curls rather than fight them. To highlight your curls, but if you prefer them off your ears, go for tapered sides with a textured curly top. You will need to learn how to style your curly hair to get the most out of them and this is the way I would recommend you to achieve this look. Damp your hair and massage some curling cream into the curls, then, using a diffuser on your dryer, tousle the curls on low heat and low speed. For this glossy finish, scrunch some pomade in at the end.
Stylish Curls with Undercut and Bangs
The stylish curls with an undercut and bangs have been disconnected to leave as much weight as possible on top to create an appealing look. Curls do need looking after and require some time to style to achieve the desired appearance for the day. The hair on this client is thick so some good product will be needed. Personally, I would scrunch some quality pomade into it to maintain the style.
Stylish Short Curly Flat Top
A blend of the high top fade and luscious curls! Utilizing your curls while softening them slightly, this cut is an evolution of the timeless flat top fro.
Stylish Curly Zero Fade
With a stylish curly zero fade, you’ll stand out without the typical mainstream straight hair style! It’ll show more of your skin from the sides and the nape area while flaunting your dark curly strands on top. This cut works wonders on both permed and naturally curly hair, and with or without facial hair.
Spiral Curly Hairstyle with Frontal Sections
Curls can take many diverse forms. This spiral curly hairstyle with frontal sections exemplifies the curly looks that men adore. It has been styled using a method known as short graduation. This indicates that the nape of the neck is the shortest area and it progressively lengthens towards the fringe. Spiral curls typically fall into shape effortlessly without any styling products. However, if you choose to apply something, consider using mousse or curling cream.
Stylish Medium-Length Curly Hairstyle
The finest medium-length curly hair designs showcase curls as a variation of numerous different cuts. It’s a “South of France” blended with a burst fade and a semi-blowout taper. The product utilized for the curls in this look was Ultimate Wave by Paul Mitchell. This product works wonderfully for men with curly hair. The type of individual who should consider this style would be someone with natural curls that is of medium texture and with a more rounded and fuller face shape. It’s ideal for those whose lifestyle lets them apply some product and be on their way.
Stylish Skin Fade and Curls
This stylish skin fade and curls are a great example of a neat, polished finish that’s easy to manage on a daily basis. The top has been separated from the sides, allowing the curls to stand out and enhance the overall appearance. Avoid brushing the curls as this can lead to unwanted frizz and add unnecessary hassle to your routine. The simplest way to style is to scrunch some pomade into the curls while your hair is damp and let it air dry.
Long Curly Hair with a Comb Over Look
Curls require more care than typical straight hair. Even a lengthy curly comb-over style demands the right products. The secret is to choose the appropriate products. Otherwise, you may experience frizz. A curling cream helps form more cohesive curls, even for a more rugged appearance. A common myth is that you need to brush curls to prevent matting. While that is partly true, excessive brushing will lead to frizz. Consult your hair stylist for product recommendations.
Textured Voluminous Curls with a Beard Alignment
A variety of curly hairstyles tend to be disconnected at the crown as illustrated with this textured voluminous curls with beard alignment. This is an extremely trendy look currently. Many will inquire about techniques to achieve longer hair, but the reality is to allow the hair to grow freely. It has been faded to skin at a low level and this approach maintains a slight length to blend into the top and the beard. A modest amount of styling powder is sufficient for a natural appearance.
Trendy Curly Undercut Featuring Zero High Fade
This curly hairstyle is a zero high fade with disconnection or a long top. I like to refer to it as the fade and curl! No effort – it effortlessly looks fantastic overall. This is a curly undercut with a disconnected fade that provides a polished, contemporary, professional appearance while showcasing your natural hair texture. The requirements for styling undercut fade hairstyles are minimal. Apply a foam or curl cream while your hair is damp. After that, you can either use a blow dryer for quicker drying, or simply let nature work its magic!
Elegant Ringlets
Curls require management, so these elegant ringlets have been styled specifically to minimize frizz. To wear your hair naturally, you must follow a specific process to achieve these ringlets. Start from the start: wash with a controlling shampoo, and while damp, apply some curling cream or mousse. I suggest allowing it to dry naturally, as excessive heat can lead to unwanted frizz.
Mid Skin Fade with Thick Curls
Thick, curly hair can sometimes be challenging to style. A great men’s look for this hair type would be a mid skin fade. This will reduce a lot of bulk while keeping your cut looking polished and sharp. Thick hair is generally quite easy to fade so you will just need to decide what length you want to maintain on top. Ask your stylist or barber for advice.
Drop Fade with Permed Curls
There are options for men with straight hair for curls as is shown in this drop fade with permed curls. A perm is a fantastic choice. You can have those curls in the exact place that you want leaving enough straight hair to create a nice fade. Level up with wax for a glossy but strong hold to keep it in place throughout your day. Some barbershops do over services like perms but you may find you will need to get it done separately.
Flowing Curly Locks with Side Part
Here’s a simple flowing curly haircut with a side part that you must try! Let your dark hair grow, and paint some blonde highlights if you want a touch of brightness. Longer and tight curls need care more than any other hair texture. Thus, always find a product that provides intense moisture for your curls to avoid dryness.
Medium-Length Naturally Curly Red Hair
This curly hairstyle showcases the best of both worlds. These vibrant red, choppy curls were styled with smooth graduation and an abundance of texture and movement. Clearly, the natural hair color for men adds a striking element to this overall look. Redheads are becoming increasingly rare. Try out this curly hairstyle if you’re a guy with thick, curly locks. As for the fade, based on the size and shape of your head, you can always adjust the fade a bit higher or lower.
Center-Parted Style for Long Blonde Curls
Longer hair can be styled in various ways, such as a man bun or left down, like in this center-parted look. Avoid brushing your hair when it’s dry as it will lead to significant frizz, making it difficult to manage. Transitioning from short curly hair to longer styles is a journey. However, with proper maintenance and conditioning products, you can successfully achieve this.
Timeless Curly Drop Fade
A timeless curly drop fade offers a touch more style and contrast compared to the traditional fade. Make sure to tell your barber to avoid going too high in the back of the fade. It will detract from the look you wish to achieve. This cut is perfect for those on the go. All that is needed to style is a curl sponge, and you’re ready to head out!
Curly High-Top Fade
Curls can vary in tightness, with some being quite tight and others having a wavier appearance. This curly high-top fade leans towards the tighter end. To keep it looking its best, use the products suggested by your barber. With tighter curls, I find it beneficial to apply products like curling cream or argan oil to damp hair. Then, simply allow it to dry naturally. Avoid overusing oil, as it may make your hair feel greasy.
Medium Curly Skin Fade
Curls are increasingly popular, as can be seen in this medium-curly skin fade. The fade is kept quite low and blended extensively into the curls. This is more typical with tighter curls for a more polished shape. To achieve the look, it’s always advisable to show your barber a picture as this is the best way for us to visualize exactly what you want. Your barber will be able to guide you in the right direction for styling products and may even carry them.
Soft Fade with Textured Curls
Master your curly tresses with the 3 P’s: Practice, Patience, and Product. Curls can sometimes have a mind of their own so this is where your patience and persistence will come in. Don’t give up; just try again! Product is going to be a key component. You want to make sure you use something that will aid frizz, hydration, and shape. Ask your stylist or barber for recommendations on how to maintain hairstyles for men with curly hair.
Softly Curly Hair with a Progressive Fade
The softly curly hair with a progressive fade is a stylish option to achieve and relatively straightforward to upkeep. This masculine appearance has been crafted with elongated hair strands on the forehead, while the curls on top are styled to deliver a natural finish. There is a subtle disconnection from the top to maintain some weight for styling the curls, and the fade around the ears ensures the overall look remains polished and fresh. I recommend visiting your barber every two weeks to maintain your style.
Shoulder-Length Curls with Side Bangs
Shoulder-length curls with bangs really do suit the gent that enjoys longer hair. The side has been cut into bangs to create a distinct layer and draw attention away from the overall length, perfect for guys that want a fresh look. The curls will require daily maintenance to prevent frizz, and there are numerous effective products available now, ranging from a simple curl-enhancing mousse to specialized Caribbean products to maintain tight curls.
The Textured Curly Undercut
These stylish curls with an undercut feature an asymmetrical shape between both sides, rather than the popular side part. This curly undercut is an excellent choice for men who want to showcase their natural curls. Usually, guys with this amount of curl prefer shorter, square shape cuts. If you don’t mind keeping your hair a bit wild, use a lighter paste rather than clay.
Textured Curly Bangs for Short Hair
When you style curls, you can separate sections to create a focal point as these curly bangs on short hair for men demonstrate. The sides have been tapered quite closely to preserve as much length as possible for a relaxed appearance. When you style your curls, it’s best to apply product and allow them to dry naturally. You can also opt for heat styling, but this will provide more volume and less control over your separated sections.
Playful Short Curly Ringlets
Achieve that playful, bouncy vibe with short curly ringlets! Add blonde highlights to your black hair for a multi-dimensional effect. These hairstyles will require extra moisture to maintain their shine and health.
Stylish Curls with Tapered Cut and Bangs
Some guys prefer disconnecting the top to maximize their stylish curls. And when paired with a tapered cut and bangs, you add a fresh twist to a classic look. The fade reaches quite high into the disconnection, and a design enhances it beautifully. To manage your curls effectively, it requires time and effort to style in the mornings, so make sure to allocate time to achieve this finish. With curls of this nature, I recommend using curling cream on damp hair and letting it dry naturally.
Effortless Soft Curls for Fine Hair
Even loose curls can be styled to make the most of them, and these effortless soft curls for fine hair are a formal example. This style is a modern take on the classic crop. It has been styled forward in the same way and the curls are manipulated to sit softly on the forehead. If you want a softer finish then a lighter product like a volume spray will work. Finish off with a light styling cream that will give you a lighter finish.
Textured Curly Hair
Curls provide an excellent way to add volume, and this textured curly hairstyle takes advantage of curls to achieve height. The hair has been cut in a short graduation. This means shorter at the nape of the neck, transitioning into a longer fringe. Curls can get unruly, so avoid using brushes too frequently. The simplest way to style this is to apply some volumizing spray at the front while scrunching to keep your curls intact. Finish off with some hairspray for added hold.
Curly Afro Featuring Beautiful Ringlets
Afro hair has the potential to create stunning ringlets, but it requires specific products. Conduct some research to locate a talented barber or hairdresser who specializes in Afro hair.

If you’re searching for a way to appreciate your curls while maintaining a short style, think about a textured crop hairstyle. This will let you showcase your curly hair on top while benefiting from a clean fade on the sides. Some styling suggestions for your curls include trying a curl cream to enhance their form. Then finish with either air drying or a diffuser. This will help your curls dry in shape without any frizz!
Shoulder-Length Loose Curls
Loose curls are fantastic for adding texture and volume, as illustrated by these shoulder-length styles. The cut maintains a uniform length all around, perfectly complementing an oval face shape by not drawing unnecessary attention to the cut’s base. Styling this longer look requires some extra effort; a great method is to scrunch in some curling cream and allow it to air dry. You can achieve waves in your hair by gently brushing it out, but be cautious of over-brushing, which may result in frizz.
Short Curly Twists on a Bald Fade
Consider a bald fade paired with short curly twists for an eye-catching style! Maintain moisture in your hair for a vibrant, healthy finish.
Textured Faux Hawk with Burst Fade
This textured faux hawk haircut showcases a burst fade, and the hair’s natural texture creates a stunning blend. It’s simple to find a suitable product for curly hair. For a natural curl, a small amount of gel or pomade works wonders. Men with hair that is both coarse and fine can effortlessly wear this textured faux hawk. It’s a striking haircut that combines a lot of class with a playful mix of curls.

The curly burst fade hairstyle is a stylish mix of the classic burst fade buzz cut and natural curls. It is a versatile choice for men. This haircut gradually fades from short to long on the sides.

I suggest massaging curling cream into your hair and allowing it to dry naturally.
Short Curls with a Stylish Taper Fade
Check this out, short curls paired with a stylish taper fade that has been taken down to the skin at the midpoint and faded up. You will need to give your curls some love. One method I have seen used is sponging. The barber will have an afro sponge and rub it gently in circular motions to finish off this trendy curly cut. I recommend seeing your barber every 2 weeks to keep the fade fresh.
Short Bangs with Curly Burst Fade
More men are experimenting with their looks these days, as demonstrated by this short bangs curly burst fade. This style is designed to grab attention. Keeping it trim around the ears while maintaining some height on top creates a striking and defined appearance. The fade has been executed to the shortest clipper length for a sleek finish. A matte texture has been achieved on top; I recommend using a sea salt spray and styling powder for the best hold.
Curly Blowout Hairdo
If you are in search of a curly look with added length, then this curly blowout hairdo might be perfect for you. This style has been cut into a short graduation. This means that the hair is at its shortest point at the base of the neck. And it gradually gets longer up to the front of the fringe. Volume has been styled into this. I would recommend using a volume spray and scrunch-drying it in. This would be enough product to provide you with an all-day hold.
Curly Taper Fade with Color Accents
Coloring has gained popularity among men, and a great way to explore this trend is with highlights. Combined with this curly taper fade, the end result truly stands out. To maintain the vibrancy of the highlights, using a toning shampoo is essential, as it helps keep the hue fresh. After rinsing, apply some curling cream to the curly section and let it air dry to minimize frizz.
Defined Fade with a Shaved Line
Skin fades have grown increasingly popular over time, a perfect example is this defined fade with a shaved line. The most straightforward of designs can be impactful, this one has been shaved in with a cut throat razor to enhance its visibility. This style will suit all hair types regardless of color or density. That curly hair has been disconnected and sculpted into a flat top; the tighter the curls, the greater the volume. A small amount of hair oil will complete this stylish appearance.
Trendy Natural Curls
If you have natural curls, a defined coil hairstyle can be a fashionable option. This look lets your curls stand out while giving your hair form. Men with any type of curl, from loose waves to tighter coils, will find this style complements them. Use the right hair products to achieve this look. Choose those made for curly hair, like moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. Regular haircuts will keep your style polished and prevent frizz. Choose a defined coily hairstyle and showcase your unique curls.
Bearded Fade with a Short Mullet
Mullets have experienced a significant resurgence in recent years. A classic variation on one is this bearded fade with a short mullet. You will notice that the sides have been tapered closely around the ears and then faded into the beard for a seamless look. The sides have then been carefully blended into the top with a subtle disconnection. This creates more length on top to style. Apply a pomade to achieve a polished finish and secure the curls in place.
Layered Chin-Length Curly Hairstyle
Long surfer hair has always been a go-to style. This layered chin-length curly hairstyle offers a trendy option. It has been crafted using various techniques such as club and point cutting. If your hair is thick, it can be thinned to remove excess weight and simplify your styling routine. To style, I would suggest applying a curling cream on slightly damp hair. Allow it to dry naturally, and refrain from brushing, as this will create frizz.
Bold Mullet Mohawk
This bold mullet mohawk serves as a perfect illustration of how two styles can blend for a unique finished look. With a hairstyle like this, the wearer can maintain authenticity while infusing a touch of edge into his appearance. There are a few products that can be applied, but a classic choice is mousse.

Golden Curly Perm
Even men with straight hair can achieve waves, as illustrated with this golden curly perm. A perm is a chemical treatment so it requires maintenance. An easy method is to use hair-repairing masks and a quality conditioner. This style has been disconnected from the top, and this allows the top to be permed while keeping the back and sides straight to create a clean fade. To assist with styling, apply a dab of curling cream and try to avoid heat styling to maintain the health of your hair.

Textured wavy hair with a hard part is the closest any man can get to a combover. It’s challenging to achieve a combover on coarse, curly, or wavy hair. But with the right length on top, you can somehow comb over your hair from the hard part. When styling, use a product with a good hold to keep your textured, wavy hair under control throughout the day.
Men’s Side-Swept Curls for Effortless Style
A natural pompadour offers a fantastic way to maintain your curly locks in a long and fashionable manner. Ask your barber or stylist to demonstrate how to style it without a part, creating an effortless appearance. Combine this style with a low taper fade haircut to achieve a polished finish.
Loose Perm with Undercut
If your hair is straight you can still achieve curls; this loose perm combined with an undercut may be the ideal style for you. With undercuts, the upper section is completely isolated. Your barber will employ clippers to give you a short buzz on the sides and back. The top section that’s left will receive a perm. Keep in mind, the smaller the rods, the tighter the curl, so be sure to communicate how curly you want your style to be.
Sleek Curly Hair with Low Fade
This is a variation of a tight low fade, long curls, and slicked-back hairstyles. The beauty of curly hairstyles for men lies in their adaptability. For the wet hair appearance, use American Crew Gel styling products for control and high shine. Apply the gel to your damp hair while combing it through with a standard cutting comb and some minimal blow-dry styling to maintain your curls soft and defined. Finish off with the high-hold hairspray from Ion.
Razor Line Beach Curls
This season, beach curls are making waves, and with the right styling, you can achieve impressive shape and volume. The sides are tapered down to the skin, blending seamlessly to the midpoint, enhanced with a freshly shaved razor line. Achieving this striking look requires a significant amount of styling time, so be prepared to dedicate some time each morning. There are various techniques to manage your curls, but my preferred method involves using a curling cream and allowing it to either air dry or using a diffuser on low heat and low-speed settings. Be cautious about brushing your curls, as this can lead to unwanted frizz.
Bold Angular Fringe on Tinted Curly Hair
With curly hair, it can take longer to achieve the length as the curl in the hair can make it appear shorter than it truly is. This bold angular fringe has been disconnected from the tinted curly hair. The volume in your hair will assist you in styling your curls and ensuring they sit nicely. There are several products that can create this look; a glossy pomade will provide full shine or a matte paste will result in a less oily finish.
Chic Long Messy Curls
These long messy curls feature a rounded, layered curly cut. What’s fantastic about curly hairstyles for men like this is the volume and texture that the layers through the top highlight. This haircut on tousled curls is relatively low-maintenance on a daily basis. Use a curl-enhancing product such as Davine’s curl cream. Use a diffuser to dry if you prefer extra volume; otherwise, air drying works well. Additionally, it’s a fantastic style for a curly-haired guy whose hairline is beginning to recede.
Contemporary Short Mullet with tousled Layers
Mullets are making a comeback, and fresh interpretations of the style are increasingly visible. The sides have been cut shorter around the ears while maintaining some length in the back. Normally, I wouldn’t suggest using a brush, but to get this finish, you will need one. Shampoo your hair so it’s easier to style. Dry some holding spray into your hair scrunching the top. Then, apply the styling product and brush both sides of the back into the center.
Stylish Short Curls
Curls are in vogue this season and these stylish short curls are no exception! More and more guys are embracing their curls so don’t hesitate to do the same. This bowl-cut style has been trimmed with scissors and kept away from the eyes for convenience. If you don’t play around or tousle your curls too often then you can avoid the frizz of constant touching. Some curls will fall beautifully on their own or you can scrunch some argan oil for conditioning and hold.
Chic Curls for Men with Fine Hair
These are such chic curls for fine hair! Grow your hair longer to show off your texture, creating an illusion of density and more body. Curls are all around a fantastic texture, especially for men.

For men trying to sport their natural curl in this shorter style, you should be open to purchasing the right product to help maintain it and manage it.
Disconnected Curly Hairstyle with a Shaped Razor Line
A highly sought-after style currently is this disconnected curly hairstyle featuring a shaped razor line; the disconnection enhances the weight on top for added curls. The fade is kept low to allow space for the razor-edged design on the side. To style your ringlets, apply curling cream from the roots to the tips and refrain from brushing it; otherwise, it will frizz, and no one wants excessive fluff!
Shag Style from the 70s
This shag style from the 70’s showcases the importance of variety in the barbering world. This was cut with scissors leaving more length in the back, while layering techniques were utilized to achieve the ‘shag’.

Bowl Cut Featuring Spiral Curls
This individual has very tight curls, and this hairstyle requires the right products to maintain the quality of the hair. The bowl cut featuring spiral curls is best kept un-brushed or combed; otherwise, it can create significant frizz, making it difficult to manage. I would recommend locating a barber experienced in handling tight curls or even an afro barber. The appropriate product applied throughout your locks will enhance your curls, and your barber can provide guidance on the best approach moving forward.
Curly Frohawk with Skin Fade and Line-Up
A frohawk with a skin fade is one of the top men’s hairstyles for curly textures that are fashionable, low maintenance, and highly adaptable! Essentially, it’s the VW of haircuts, especially for those with naturally curly hair. A faded short cut like this pairs perfectly with a precise line-up, too, accentuating the curls on top.

It provides an edgy touch to their look. Although it is best suited for thick, curly hair, it can also work with various hair textures.
Textured Cut with Emphasized Curls
With a style like this, the focus will be on your head shape, so the layers need to be precisely measured. It’s essential to consult with your barber regarding this. Incorrectly placed layers can highlight features and face shapes that you may prefer to downplay.
Casual Curls and Waves for Guys
Casual curls and waves look great on guys with long hair, as the extra length highlights the intricacy of your curls. Men with pear-shaped faces and a chiseled jawline benefit from this hairstyle the most as it flatters your face, balancing it with the volume of your hair.

You will notice many men going for the classic man bun which serves as an effortless choice for a packed day or a variety of tied-back looks or even braids that are quite trendy.

This tapered messy curly quiff on brown hair merges timeless and contemporary elements. Minimal styling effort leads to a polished look in your men’s hairstyle.

The sides aren’t blended into the top as they would be with a standard fade. Inquire about products to boost the texture of your curls.
Curly Crop Hairstyle Paired with Facial Hair
For a curly crop hairstyle, I recommend it’s disconnected from the sides, then faded into the facial hair. It has been taken down to a zero around the ears, keeping it sharp and neat, then blended to the disconnection. For you to style this easily, I would dampen your hair, then use some strong pomade and leave it to dry naturally. Too much heat styling can cause frizz and be out of control.
Stylish Medium Curly Quiff Hairdo
Softer curls can add a touch more volume when styled just right. This quiff hairdo takes some effort but is quite manageable.

This keeps your hair flexible throughout the day.

It has been cut in what we refer to as a uniform layer, indicating all of the hair is the same length. This cut has been styled with added volume. To achieve this effect, I suggest scrunch drying some volume spray in. Then, finish off with hairspray to secure.
Playful Texture on Short Curly Hair
Curls can be styled in numerous ways. This playful texture has been effortlessly shaped into a natural appearance. What product you use influences the result. A pomade will provide this glossy, natural finish. Meanwhile, styling powder will yield looser curls and a matte effect. This has been taken down to a 0.5-1 grade, maintaining a tight and fresh look around the ears.
Styled Curly Hair with Shorter Sides and Nape

If you’re interested in trying something fresh, consult your barber or stylist about this style.
Asymmetrical Sleek Curls
Some longer hairstyles require consistent upkeep. Therefore, if you opt to wear it down, give these asymmetrical sleek curls a try. The primary focus of this style is to sweep the curly locks to one side. Some layering and thinning may have been applied to achieve a haircut that is more manageable. The most effective way to communicate your vision for a new style is to provide a photo. This will help your barber grasp what you envision.
Dense Curly Top
Dense curly tops are relatively simple to manage as long as you receive the proper guidance. The back and side have been tapered down to the skin quite low, allowing for a sharp lineup and a heavy blend. One of the most frequent errors with curly hair is that individuals tend to brush them, resulting in frizz and leaving it unruly. It’s advisable to steer clear of drying your curls, but if you must, utilize a diffuser with your dryer set to medium heat and medium speed. I would recommend a small amount of argan oil to assist in controlling your curls.

Look for specialized conditioner and styling products designed for this hair type, or even better, consult your barber.
Long Curls with a Distinct Side Part
Curly hair typically pairs with a thicker texture. However, when styled with the appropriate products, it can become more manageable. These long curls with a distinct side part are complemented by an undercut, which reduces some of the volume and facilitates styling. The great advantage of longer hair is the multitude of styles you can achieve. Whether tied up in a man bun for a swift start to the day or styled down for a completely different appearance, the options are endless.

A textured layered cut with waves and curls demonstrates that looser curls can be kept under control and frizz minimized. This style has been cut to one length with slightly more volume at the base of the neck. Additionally, some layers have been added to provide a touch of shape. The front has been dried straight to maintain its position and secured with a light product like hairspray. A quick spray will contribute a layer of hold to the overall look.

Curls can take on various shapes, some tight and some loose. The thickness of your hair will also influence the products utilized and styles created. Considerable time and effort have gone into this medium cut for thick curls. To maintain your hair’s style, refrain from using a brush on curls like this, as excessive brushing will lead to frizz. I would suggest applying a mousse or curling cream while your hair is still damp and allowing it to air dry.

Longer hairstyles can have an added edge with curls. Just keep it manageable with a curly stylish slicked-back look. With longer hair, you may want to use a lighter product. This will work if you have a tendency to run your fingers through your hair. With some of my clients, I use argan oil to style.

One method I would recommend is to dampen your hair and scrunch a small amount of argan oil in. Allowing it to dry naturally will lock in moisture and keep your curls defined.
Textured Curly Hair with Clean Faded Sides
A popular style features a textured curly top paired with clean faded sides. The back and sides have been faded to the skin around the ears and nape of the neck. Then disconnected from the top. This way of cutting allows more length to be left to style the curls. If too much is taken off the top you will run the risk of the center being too heavy and you’ll be left with a faux hawk. I recommend using a styling cream and letting it dry naturally to avoid frizz.

This leaves a very sharp finish to a curly mens haircut.
Taper Fade with Blowout Style
With those striking curls, some guys enjoy using heat styling to achieve volume like this taper fade with blowout style. The base of the neck and the side burns have been tapered out quite tightly to leave as much of the hair on top as possible. Personally, I would use a sea salt spray and dry it in when styling. That will give you more volume and use a styling powder to leave a natural finish all day hold.
