Suppose you have ever felt disappointed when leaving a barbershop because your stylist couldn’t understand precisely what you wanted. In that case, chances are it is due to miscommunication between both of you. To simplify things for both of you, try naming your desired haircut rather than explaining it verbally.
Caesar Haircut
A Caesar haircut, named for Julius Caesar, features a short, blunt textured fringe with disconnected skin fade on both sides and back. It is an adaptable style suitable for various hair lengths and textures.
Undercut
Undercuts can add an aggressive style to any look. They pair nicely with Pompadours or Faux Hawks for height or Comb Overs for a more chaotic style. They require frequent trims to maintain their intended form. Shaved sections expose your scalp to sun exposure, which could result in painful and persistent scalp burns. Therefore, this hairstyle should be used in something other than professional environments.
Pompadour
The Pompadour hairstyle is an elegant style characterized by full, voluminous locks layered atop and slicked-back or tapered ends, named for Madame de Pompadour, the mistress of King Louis XV of France in 18th-century France. Though difficult for those with thin hair to manage, this style adds significant volume to a man’s scalp, making it an excellent way to add class and sophistication to their style. This style works particularly well with beard styles that help accentuate and highlight the jawline.
Edgar Haircut
The Edgar Haircut is an increasingly popular cut that features a classic line-up and taper fade. While this look works best with straighter locks, wavy ones can also wear this cut quickly – add a bit of hair styling to define curls for extra emphasis on this timeless cut! This haircut got its name after a baseball fan asked his barber to shave an Edgar Martinez design on the back of his head, inspired by baseball icon Edgar Martinez himself. Now popular among young Latinos as part of the Takuache movement.
Wolf Cut
This style features lots of volume on top that tapers down to a shorter finish with a full fringe. It works best on naturally curly or wavy hair textures as its layers highlight movement for an effortlessly cool effect. Add highlights for more dimension – either around your face for framing purposes or throughout your style for subtler results. Styling a wolf cut can be pretty straightforward, though those with fine or unruly locks may need help styling one. A texturizing spray may provide just enough volume while simultaneously controlling flyaways.
Side-swept Fringe
Making an impressionful statement, and creating a side-swept fringe can be easy. This timeless hairstyle frames your face beautifully, giving off a feminine and flattering vibe – great for straight or curly locks! Unfortunately, this style tends to fall flat and lose its form if exposed to sweat or humidity, but you can prevent this by using hair spray and keeping your scalp moisturized. Reese Witherspoon shows off her stunning platinum hair color with long side-swept bangs to frame her face, creating an irresistibly head-turning look. You can achieve a similar style using blonde balayage choppy layers, which add texture and movement.
Taper Fade
Taper fade haircuts, also known as temple fade or low taper fade styles, are an elegant and professional choice for the office environment. This look lets you keep some length at the top while gradually thinning out your hair beneath, creating a clean and professional appearance. This timeless trim works well with most hairstyles, from short-cropped hair to full pompadour. You could even opt for skin fade or line-up techniques to find your ideal length for your face shape and add personalization.
Faux Hawk
The Faux Hawk haircut is an alternative take on the mohawk that adds an edge to any man’s look. HoweverHowever, keeping this hairstyle in place requires much maintenance if it has longer strands. This style works best when worn with a fade, which helps highlight the contrast between shorter sides and the more extended top section, making maintenance more straightforward and this style easy to maintain. This style works well for most face shapes except those with oval and round features, as it may elongate these areas significantly. To prevent this effect, try opting for side-swept fringe instead.
