Hairstyles that work with a beard.
Your haircut and beard are one silhouette — they have to balance each other. Get the beard right first with our beard grooming guides and the best beard trimmer to shape it, then pick a cut below.
Bro Flow
The bro flow is medium-length hair grown out and pushed straight back, with no hard parting. It falls loosely behind the ears and curls slightly at the neck.
Brush Back
A brush back sweeps all the hair on top backwards, away from the forehead, with no part and no shine. It is the matte, textured cousin of the slick back. How much lift you build at the front decides whether you are wearing the loose, the short or the voluminous version.
Brush Up
The brush up leaves the top long enough to sweep upward and slightly back into visible height, with shorter sides. The lift is the whole look. It needs thick hair, a hairdryer and matte product, and it rewards all three.
Business Scissor Cut
A business scissor cut is a short, tidy cut done entirely with scissors and comb — no clippers. It leaves a little natural length everywhere, so nothing looks machine-cut.
Buzz Cut
A buzz cut clips the whole head short with clippers. There is nothing to comb, nothing to dry and no product to buy. The only real decisions are the guard number and whether the sides get faded or left uniform.
Caesar Cut
The Caesar cut is short all over with the top combed forward into a straight, blunt fringe across the forehead. It is one of the oldest and simplest men's haircuts there is.
Comb Over
The side-part comb-over parts the hair on one side and sweeps the top across to the other. It is the classic office haircut, neat and simple.
Crew Cut
The crew cut keeps the top short, a bit longer at the front and shorter towards the crown, with tapered sides. That front-to-back graduation is the whole cut. It is tidy, it suits most Indian hair, and it needs almost no styling.
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.
Curtains
Curtains are medium-length hair with a middle or off-centre parting, so the front falls in two soft panels on either side of the forehead. The length usually reaches the eyebrows, and on longer versions the cheekbones.
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.
French Crop
The French crop is a short cut with a blunt fringe pushed forward onto the forehead and short, tapered or faded sides. The top is cut choppy, so it looks messy on purpose.
Fringe
A fringe is a haircut where the front hair is left longer than the sides and worn over your forehead, across it, or pushed back off it. It is one of the easiest ways to change the shape of your face, and there are five main versions to choose from.
High and Tight
The high and tight cuts the sides and back very short or to skin, and leaves only a small patch of short hair on top. It is a military-style cut with maximum contrast.
Ivy League
The Ivy League is a crew cut with extra length left at the front, long enough to comb into a side part. It is the smartest version of a short haircut, and it is also called a Princeton.
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.
Medium Layered Cut
The medium layered cut keeps your hair around ear to collar length, with layers cut through it to remove bulk. It is a simple, versatile shape rather than a bold statement. The same layering works short and messy, or swept to one side.
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.
Modern Flat Top
The modern flat top cuts the top of your hair into a level, flat plane while the sides are faded short. It creates a sharp square shape above your head.
Modern Mullet
The modern mullet is short on the sides and top with deliberate length left at the back, over the neck. Unlike the old version, the transition is blended and the length is softer.
Pompadour
The pompadour is length at the front swept up and back into a rounded shape, with short sides for contrast. It is the boldest of the classic cuts. This guide covers all four versions, from the full modern pompadour down to the short one you can style in five minutes.
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.
Quiff
A quiff is a haircut where the front section of hair is lifted up and slightly back, while the sides stay short. It is softer and more casual than a pompadour, and it comes in five main versions depending on how much height and texture you want.
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.
Side Part
A side part is a short cut with a defined parting on one side and the top combed across. It is the standard office haircut in India: clean, neat and hard to get wrong. It works on almost every face shape and is one of the few cuts that genuinely helps thin hair.
Slick Back
The slick back taper keeps the hair on top long enough to comb straight back, while the sides and back get shorter as they go down. It is a clean, formal cut that shows your whole face.
Spiky Textured Top
The spiky textured top keeps the hair on top short but choppy, so it stands up in separated pieces instead of one flat sheet. The sides are cut shorter to keep the shape tight.
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.
Undercut with Volume
The undercut with volume cuts the sides one short length all the way up, with no blend, and leaves a long top that you style upward. The contrast between the two is the whole point.
Wolf Cut
The wolf cut is a medium-length shaggy cut with heavy layers. It is short and full at the crown, then gets progressively longer and thinner towards the ends.
