Best men's hairstyles for curly hair.
Got curly hair? Work with it. These cuts are picked to suit curly hair, with the products and routine to keep them looking sharp.
Curly Top with Taper
This cut keeps your natural curls full on top while the sides are shortened with scissors instead of clippers. The result is soft and rounded rather than sharp.
Faux Hawk Fade
The faux hawk fade keeps a strip of longer hair down the middle of your head and fades the sides short. It gives you the shape of a mohawk without shaving anything off.
Medium Curly Layers
Medium curly layers keep your natural curl at around four to six inches, with layers cut in to remove bulk and let each curl form its own shape. The result is height and movement instead of a heavy triangle.
Mid Fade Haircut
A mid fade is a fade that starts at the temple, roughly halfway up the side of your head, and blends down towards the ear. It is the middle option between a low fade and a high fade, and it is the most common fade choice for a reason: it is sharp without being loud. Almost any top style can sit on it.
Pompadour Fade Haircut
A pompadour fade pairs a high-volume top swept up and back with sides faded down to short or skin length. Here's how to choose the fade height, ask your barber, and style it.
Shag
The shag is a medium-length cut built from choppy layers, shortest near the crown and longest at the back, with a soft fringe at the front. It is meant to look lived-in rather than groomed.
Textured Crop
A textured crop is a short haircut with a choppy, uneven top worn forward as a small fringe. The texture is cut into the hair, so it looks messy on purpose. It is one of the easiest cuts to live with on thick Indian hair.
