10 EDGY LINE UP HAIRCUTS FOR MEN 2020

10 EDGY LINE UP HAIRCUTS FOR MEN 2020

A line-up haircut – also known as an edge up or shape up – is one of the most striking styles for men. That’s because the eye is drawn to the unnatural shapes it creates. Your barber will use clippers to shave straight lines or sharp angles into your hair. These lines can be at your hairline, parting, or temples. The line-up is a versatile look that gives some personality and edge to an otherwise simple cut, like a fade or buzz cut.

Slick Back with Line Up

A line-up will take your slick back hairstyle to the next level. That’s because it gives an already stylish look an even more polished finish. The line-up will remove any shorter hairs that might not stay in place with your slick back, as well as keep any stray hairs at your temples in check. Adding a line-up parting also adds a cool disconnected feel to the slick back.

Quiff with Line Up

Another great pairing for a line-up haircut is the quiff. In this case, the line-up runs from front to back rather than across the hairline. That allows the quiff itself – the pushed-up front section of hair – to take center stage. Adding a line-up means the sides of your hair will be shaved down to create a striking finish that adds to the movement and drama of the quiff.

Pompadour with Line-Up

The pompadour is a 1950s hairstyle that’s remained popular since then. As it’s already a dramatic hairstyle, it looks great when paired with an equally eye-catching line-up. The combination of a slick and gravity-defying pompadour with razor-sharp edges and hair parting gives this retro look a modern and edgy twist.

Afro with Line-Up

The standard line-up is a classic partner for an Afro or close-cropped Afro-textured hair. That’s because the sharp, neat edge of the hairline and right-angle at the temples contrasts well with curls. Add a high fade or mid fade to the combination to draw the eye up and make your face seem longer and slimmer.

Fringe with Line Up

The line-up is so versatile it can even be combined with a fringe. One of the most original takes on the style is to use the line-up to create an asymmetric finish. Start with a side-swept fringe with a neat edge, then have your barber shave in the line-up with clippers down one side. Add a taper fade for a fresh overlapping look.

Faux Hawk with Line-Up

 A line-up – paired with a fade – can be used to create the faux hawk effect. The faux hawk imitates the mohawk by building up hair volume at the front and crown of the head, then using products to form it into an upright column. Instead of shaving the rest of the hair off completely, the barber instead adds a line-up. It runs along the parting and hairline to create separation and disconnect the faux hawk section from the faded sides. The result is a more casual version of an iconic hairstyle.

Bowl Cut with Line Up

Not only is the bowl cut on-trend, but it’s also the perfect partner for a line-up. The line-up adds a fresh disconnected feel to the bowl cut, giving it a new twist. The resulting hairstyle has an unusual and edgy finish that will attract attention while still being flattering on most men’s face shapes – particularly big foreheads.

Drop Fade with Line Up

One of the best ways to make a drop fade stand out is to add a line-up. When creating the look, the barber will follow the curve of the drop fade, shaving down the hair more to create a visible line on the side of your head. While some men keep the style simple by stopping at that point, others get more creative. One idea is to have the barber shave a different section of your hairline to create a double-pointed look.

Short Fringe with Line Up

Give a short fringe some new attitude by combining it with a line-up. As in other line-up hairstyles, the look works best when your hair has lots of texture and direction. That creates a contrast with the sharp, straight line-up. Your barber can define your fringe even more by shaving in angles on either side. A short fringe with line-up can also be combined with a high fade.

Buzz Cut with Line Up

The buzz cut is one of the most simple hairstyles for men. If you’re looking to add more of your personality to the look, consider a line-up. There are several ways to combine the buzz cut with a line-up. Your barber could give you a straight right-to-left hairline, or create an unusual, angled effect. Alternatively, many men with buzz cuts prefer to have the sides of their hair do the talking. In this case, the line-up detail can be shaved in at the temple or eye level.

10 MOST POPULAR HAIRSTYLES & HAIRCUTS FOR WOMEN IN 2019 + 2020

10 MOST POPULAR HAIRSTYLES & HAIRCUTS FOR WOMEN IN 2019 + 2020

As they say, change is as good as a holiday, and a new hairstyle is the best way to mix things up. While there is nothing wrong with a solid rotation of straight, curls, top knots and ponytails, a styled cut can drastically improve your hair game. It can be hard to keep track of all the hair trends, and deciding what cut to get can be daunting. So to help you up your mane game, we have rounded up the most popular hairstyles and haircuts for women.

Short Hairstyles for Women Short Wavy Bob

The bob is one of the most significant hairstyle trends of late. It is the perfect combination of edgy yet pretty with just the right amount of masculinity to make it on trend. If you’re tired of the classic bob, try mixing thing up with this wavy style. Bobs and waves are a match made in hair heaven. Nothing says cool-girl chic like a touselled just rolled out of bed crop. However, if you’re still looking to turn things up, try rocking this blunt cut front fringe. It is edgy and unique without being too out there. And did we mention that it is also a super flattering style?

Blunt Cut

If you suffer from thin hair syndrome, you’ll know the struggle of wanting a cute pixie cut and leaving the salon looking like a baby-haired Draco Malfoy. Well, those dreaded days are over. A blunt cut is perfect for women with thin hair who still want to rock a shorter style. Not only are blunt cuts a great way to frame your face and accentuate your features, but they are also universally flattering, and very on trend. If you haven’t noticed, the masculine trend is on the rise, and a blunt cut in short hair is the perfect way to dive head first into the manly mania. If you want to keep a femme element, try adding a few waves throughout your hair, or rock a pair of extravagant earrings or a feminine, flowy dress.

Low Bun

Even with the chicest cut, there will still be some days when you can’t resist the messy bun. It is the bad boy of hairstyles, we know we shouldn’t do it, but its allure is just too strong. With short hair, you may find yourself struggling to achieve the messy high bun. If so, go for the low option.  This may not be something you have thought of, but a low messy bun achieves the same level of simple styling as a high topknot while making your locks appear thicker too. Just gather your hair at the nape of your neck and twist it into a bun the same way you would if the hair was on top of your head. If you have bangs, allow them to fall freely across your face, or pull a few strands out around your face and behind your ears to create a soft, elegant style.

Short and Straight

Who says you need long locks to rock the iconic Rachel Green look? Short, straight hair with a mid part is one of the all-time greats. And it’s not going anywhere, anytime soon. Mix up the classic 90s style with a blunt bob and a platinum blonde. This cut is striking, flattering and just screams attitude. Channel your inner punk rock princess with a deep purple or red lipstick and heavy eye makeup.

Pixie Cut

Going short can be very daunting for women with thick hair. When it goes wrong, it goes very very wrong (we’ve all had those awkward bowl looking haircuts). But the key to nailing short styles with thick hair is layers and texture. Avoid blunt cuts as this style will add bulk to your hair. Instead go for a layered, textured pixie cut. The layers will take some the weight out of your luscious locks allowing them to sit and flow with ease.

Twists

A few sexy twists are a great way to breathe some life into your cropped hairstyle. Not only is this a unique look, but it will also protect your locks too. The twists require zero additional styling and will let your hair repair itself from damage sustained from heat, colouring and just the general wears and tears of life.

Bangs

Bangs are back, and short hair is here to stay, so why not combine two of the biggest hair trends from recent years? Simple and easy to style, bangs also require very little maintenance, other than the occasional trim. Bangs in short hair work particularly well as the frame your face, drawing attention to your features. This can also be a slimming style if you find your short hair is making you look a little fuller in the face. From side to front, choppy to blunt, curtain or sweeping, there are endless styling opportunities when it comes to bangs.

Short Thin Hair

From bobs to faux hawks, pixie cuts, undercuts, asymmetric styles and everything in between, short cuts were made for thin hair.  That’s when they’re styled right of course. A short cut is one of the best ways to not only create the illusion of thickness but also, to allow your hair to thicken up naturally. With regular trims and less styling, your hair will become healthier. Therefore, it will begin to grow much faster and thicken up on its own over time.

Short Thick Hair

You may be hesitant to partake in the short hair trend if you are blessed with naturally thick hair. But, short styles look like magic in a thick mane. Making the chop can also be a great way to take some weight out of your locks for the summer months. Ladies with thick hair can rock anything from short pixie cuts to bobs, with choppy layers, front fridges or side sweeping bangs. The key to short, thick hair is texture. So make sure to add a few layers to keep your hair light and sitting nicely.

Short hair can be as stylish as it is convenient. From a shaved buzz to longer on top cut that can be styled, here are some of the best cool men’s haircuts for short hair.

It’s easy to add this year’s top trends to short haircuts. First off, textured styling works for all lengths of hair. Use a texturizing comb or pomade to update your quiff, fringe or spikes.

Check out these 10 short haircuts that are on point for the new year.

Now, in order from short to long, let’s take a closer look.

Buzz Cut + Fade

The combination of a buzz cut and fade is simple yet powerful. Your barber will customize the type of fade to flatter your features, hair type and head shape.

Low Fade + Blunt Fringe

The shorter the haircut, the more precision counts. With blunt fringe instead of a line up and a low skin fade, this buzz cut has sharp edges all the way around.

Blunt + Textured French Crop

Just a half inch more length that previous haircut allow hair to have some spiked up texture. A high fade concentrates hair on top of the head.

Short Spiky Hair

Spiky hair is just one of those styles that looks good on all guys. This short version with a neat beard is a great idea for both guys with thick or thinning hair.

French Crop + Fringe

One thing we love about the crop haircut is how versatile it is. The same type of cut can be shorter or longer, lighter or heavier and cut with all types of fringe. This version trades in the blunt line seen above for piecey texture all over, including the bangs.

Longer on Top, Short Sides Haircut

This longer on top haircut can be styled in a variety of ways including spiked up, slicked back, combed over or this cool textured look.

Short Quiff + Fade

This crew cut is styled into a quiff at the front or add a side part for an Ivy League.

Faux Hawk

In addition to spiky hair, the faux hawk is the other men’s hairstyle that looks good on everybody and never goes out of style. Here’s the latest way to get the look with a low fade, hint of texture and beard.

Quiff + Comb Over

This look is neat and clean all over with short hair combed up and over on top, blurry faded sides and a shaped beard.

Short Slicked Back Hair

Short hair can be as long as a couple of inches but it doesn’t even need to be this long to style into the timeless slick back. For a modern finish, use a matte pomade or go vintage with some shine.
