An outstanding look lies in its details, including your hairstyle. For an on-trend look this season, try adding a hard part haircut with a pompadour as one of these details. Complex parts are defined lines shaved into your scalp to add contrast and definition, ideal for creating contrast in various haircut styles. Maintenance by your barber ensures they look neat and polished for as long as possible.
Faded Part
The hard part hairstyle is innovative and ideal for creating unique looks with different haircuts. For instance, pairing it with a bald fade combover adds rugged flair, while the tapered sides and back ensure clean edges. Its tapered sides and back also allow a neat appearance, while its tapered top can be styled into pompadour, quiff, or slick-back looks for maximum versatility. This stylish hard-part haircut uses a low skin fade for an eye-catching appearance and would suit men who wish to show their individuality with an eye-catching, fashion-forward style. Hard parts are an edgy feature shaved into the scalp with a razor or trimmer, creating a distinct line, and need regular attention at the barbershop to stay looking slick and sharp.
Spiky Sides
Spiky hair is easy to add height and texture to any look, particularly when combined with a fade or undercut. Any hair length can achieve this look simply by using gel or wax to set uniform spikes into place. This spiky hairstyle features a short top with long, wavy sides. While its points may be more pronounced than others, this refined and stylish style still looks sophisticated and chic. Additionally, its dark blonde hue adds an air of sophistication. Long, spiky hair may seem impossible to manage, but it can become manageable with the appropriate haircut and styling products. Try using texturing powder with small amounts of wax to form thick spikes on your crown and form a tall quiff before misting with strong-hold hairspray to maintain this style.
Fade to Side
The fade to the side haircut gives men an eye-catching, polished appearance. A favorite among young men, it suits various hair types well and can look great worn with or without a pompadour. This timeless look has been around for generations. Your barber will start by cutting your top layer at a longer length before gradually decreasing its height on the sides and back of the head until creating a low or even bald fade effect. Your barber will use various clipper guards to achieve the desired fade level for this style, best suited for men with thick and long locks who want texture and volume in their waves.
Long Fade
Fades are a classic look for men that provide a clean and masculine appearance yet are versatile enough to be styled in many ways. Pair long hair on top for an eye-catching modern look; fades are easy to maintain and suitable for nearly all facial structures. One of the most popular fade styles is a mid-level taper fade. This hairstyle begins with short back and side sections of hair, gradually becoming longer toward the ear until reaching a point nearer its ends. Ideal for medium and long-length locks, it can be styled in multiple ways for an attractive result. Temple fades are another popular fade style that creates sharp lines. Ideal for men with curly or afro hair, they can be worn in various ways.
Side Fade
Although a fade haircut may appear simple, it requires careful clipper and scissor work from an experienced barber. Be sure to inform them precisely what you would like and ask for their suggestions or guidance as part of this process. A skin fade is a gradual cut that reduces your hair length to the scalp, typically ending in a line of baldness about an inch above your natural hairline. This style is often popular among men with tattooed heads but can look great with any hairstyle. Complex parts add definition and create a sleek, polished look paired with a faded haircut, creating a defined hairline and a flattering, sophisticated style. Achieve this look by pairing salt-and-pepper facial hair and American Crew Heavy Hold ($19). JT and Leonardo DiCaprio both wear this look successfully.
