Men’s Hairstyles Every Guy Should Look At For Inspiration 2020

Modern men’s hairstyles are very inclusive. There isn’t that ONE hairstyle that is the most popular and trendy that everyone has, like in previous eras.

In 2020, men’s hairstyles take on all forms and shapes which is a great thing because previously, if what’s popular is a style that doesn’t suit you (be it your face shape or head shape) you kind of feel left out.

Nowadays, we have so many styles to choose from, from longer hair, medium length hairstyles to classic short hairstyles, there is something that’s going to work for you.

80 modern men’s hairstyles, I tried to include hairstyles of all lengths and styles so that you find something you’ll like.

I also tried to include hairstyles that would be work friendly, to crazy hairstyles that the younger guys that really want to stand out can get.

Men’s Short Hairstyles
If you like keeping your hair short, if you like a clean cut style, these hairstyles are for you. I’ve included buzzcuts, fades, and classical men’s hairstyles

Medium Length Men’s Hairstyles
The following hairstyles are what I consider more ‘modern’ as in what’s trending in 2020.

So what really seems to be popular at the moment is hairstyles that are longer and flowy on top and almost “messy” and asymmetrical in a way, but the sides are tapered or carefully cut short with scissors (not clippers).

There’s a ton of different hairstyles here so they might not all fit that description, but these are the hairstyles I see that are really popular among the young and young adults that like to be trendy

Top 70+ All Times Exceptional Men’s Hairstyles

Top 70+ All Times Exceptional Men’s Hairstyles

Recent years were wonderful and controversial for men’s hair. We witnessed the reign of the undercut. We experienced the resurgence of retro hairstyles. We saw the roller-coaster-like rise and fall of the man bun. Trends came and went; some stuck around while others went the way of the mullet.

More and more guys are pushing the boundaries of men’s hairstyles and taking them to new heights (sometimes literally). Fashionable styles are just for male models anymore, and men realize that now.

But the same question is always asked at the end of each year: Which hairstyles will be trending in the new year? To answer that, we’ve taken a look back on the successes of the last year and peeked into the future by seeing what’s currently fashionable.

We’ve pinned down a few styles that resemble the best of 2018 and the near future of men’s hair. We’re excited to see what men’s hairstyles will bring, and we think you should be, too!

Skin Fade with Pompadour

One of the most popular men’s hairstyles in the past years was the pompadour, and as a result, it’s getting more attention. More variations are thought of, so it’s likely we will see quite a few pomp-based styles.

This pompadour with a skin fade is a newer take on the classic style, and it’s undoubtedly dapper. You can make the pompadour more or less dramatic depending on your style, and both work for different situations.

If you like the ultra-short look, ask your barber or stylist to use a #2 or #3 on the sides and fade from there. Anything longer won’t give you this look. There should still be some length on top, but the amount is up to you. We think 2 to 3 inches is a good benchmark.

As always, bring in a picture to your barber or stylist. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, and in the hair world, it’s worth ten thousand.

Textured Quiff

The quiff has been the hairstyle of choice for many a fashionable man, but in the past year, it was somewhat dwarfed by undercuts and pompadours. In 2017, the quiff will reemerge as a trendy style, but this time around, it’s all about the texture. The idea is that the textured quiff looks lusher and fuller than a regular quiff. You can get some serious volume, or you can keep it short and styled.

Another key to the 2017 quiff is the super short cut on the sides and back. We expect to see quiffs paired with skin fades to create a contemporary, high-contrast look that will soon be popping up on male heads everywhere.

If you’re going for the quiff, it’s crucial to get the right product and have the right length. Your hair will need to be 2 to 4 inches to get a good quiff going, and you’ll need to take your time styling it. Look out for a guide to the textured quiff in the coming months.

Natural Texture

Of all the men’s hairstyles, the natural textured look is one of the most surprising. This is sort of an anti-hairstyle; while it requires a stellar cut by a knowledgeable barber or stylist, it doesn’t require too much styling, and it looks like a tidier, flatter version of the “rolled out of bed” look.

The idea here is to get layers in order to get the most natural volume and texture out of your hair. To style, spray your hair with blow dry spray and then blow dry it flat. You can finish up with a light oil spray, being careful not to disturb the natural layout of your hair.

The result is a look that’s a far cry from towering pompadours but still fashionable. It’s also easy to style quickly, so if you’re often pressed for time, this could be your new favorite style.

Man Bob

The man bob is one of 2018’s most elusive men’s hairstyles. We’re not exactly sure when it will take over, but our sources say that it’s going to be the 2018 version of the man bun. It’s a controversial yet popular style that’s gaining traction.

In the man bob, the hair is worn long enough so it reaches the chin, creating a practical long hairstyle. Kurt Cobain famously sported the look, and it’s suitable for similarly straight-haired dudes. If you’re thinking about getting the man bob, you’ll need some patience.

Styled Curls

There’s a variety of ways to style your curls, from subtle, gentle curls to curly-fry locks. You can pair your curls with an undercut or a skin fade for a look that will stand out from the rest for its uniqueness.

If you have curly hair, get your hands on some high-quality styling products and get ready for the new year. Whether you go short and defined or long and loose, you’ll be part of a new wave of men’s hairstyles for this year and beyond.

Side Part

Even though this might be an obvious choice, we decided to include it because of its versatility and the eternal spot in the men’s hair hall of fame.

This classic style is still as fashionable as ever––in fact, it’s probably more fashionable than ever before. The side part is especially wonderful because it goes with so many hairstyles. Rock a pompadour? Add a side part. Prefer an undercut? A side part goes great with that, too.

If you want a super trendy look, combine a skin fade with a side part and a short pompadour. It’s an easy way to make many men’s hairstyles stand out.

10 Coolest Short Sides Long Top Hairstyles for Men Update 2020

10 Coolest Short Sides Long Top Hairstyles for Men Update 2020

The umbrella term of “short sides long top hairstyles” represents haircuts that are incredibly versatile partly thanks to the hair on top which can be fashioned into an array of different styles, layers, and colors. Basically, there is a very high number of options to make them completely yours!

Also, since the base of these haircuts is still short, these looks can be perfect for both professional and casual environments. Check out all our choices below and then take another look (there’s a video recap at the end of the article to help with that)!

Straight Short Sides Long Top Hairstyles

To get the look, all you need to do is let the hair on top grow longer – around medium-length – and keep the sides short. This medium-length hair should ideally either be naturally straight or you can straighten it with a flat iron. Moreover, give it a lift with some hair gel or hair mousse.

Curly Faux Hawk Short Sides Long Top Style

To get texture, volume, and a whole lot of character, let your mid to long curls run free on top of your head but keep the sides tame and short. This provides a handsome contrast that will serve to make you look stylish in absolutely any occasion.

The Modern Bowl Haircut

Don’t shy away from the bowl cut or more exactly, its modern versions. To be more specific, cut some longer frontal bangs that taper gradually back to a shorter cut behind the head. For brilliant contrast, add a buzzed undercut.

Slicked Back Short Sides Long Top Hairstyles

All you need if you want to give the long top a more business makeover is the addition of a little bit of hair gel. Simply run gel through it and push it back to give it the desired texture and bounce. Alternatively, you can lay it all low for a totally slicked back style.

Side-Parted Pompadour Style

The side-parted pomp features a neatly gelled and styled pompadour haircut that has been slicked over to one side. Consequently, the pomp part of the hairstyle is very prominent and you can even buzz it for a sharper effect. A subtle fade runs through the short sides and beneath the pomp.

Short Sides Long Top Hairstyles with Bangs

A fringe is an excellent way to make a face seem more proportionate. No matter the length on top, pick one of the many types of bangs so that you’ll have a little extra length hanging over your forehead. Cut the bangs into layers, a tapered angle, or leave them straight for a more edgy appeal.

Casual Side-Swept Part Hairstyles

The casual side-swept part is a nice look for any man looking for a more casual appearance. Your short sides play against the length of the hair on top and all it takes to give your hair that side-swept look is a little gel and some hairspray to keep it in place.

Disconnected Undercut Hairstyles

Any short sides long top hairstyles will look all the edgier and more interesting with an undercut. This can help create a sharp contrast between the long locks atop your head and the short and buzzed sides. The example below is a skin fade, but you can go for a longer option too.

Tapered Pompadour Hairstyles

With longer strands of hair in the front and tapered shorter ones in the back, it is all the easier to create a great pompadour that cascades effortlessly down the top of your head. There is a bit of volume up front that will prove very flattering and accentuate the different elements of this style.

Brushed Over Short Sides Long Top Haircuts for Men

The brushed over style will look good with all types of hair, be it straight or curly hair. To get the look, simply add a bit of gel, take a comb, and bring all of the hair from one side of the head over to the other. The hair gel will help keep things in place.

Clean Cut Hairstyles

The clean-cut look is another disconnected undercut look that is constructed on short sides and long top styles. The top has been gelled over to the back (but you can gel it to the side for a similar effect). Hair products will keep the hair in place and give you a tidy and professional appearance.

Messy Side Part Men’s Hairstyles

It is easy to get a messy look – no matter the type of hair. To get the look below, simply part the hair on the preferred side, no hair product needed – simply let your locks do what they want. However, by adding a little hair gel, you can create some texture on the side with the part.

Terrific Long Hairstyles for Black Men

Terrific Long Hairstyles for Black Men

If nature and your parents’ genes have blessed you with beautiful healthy hair, there’s a sense in growing it out and styling smartly. At least you won’t look like every second guy in the street. Speaking of long hairstyles for African American men, the first thing that comes to mind is braids, but not only. Here you’ll find only the most eye-catching long hairstyles for black guys.

Shoulder-length natural curls are a classic Afro look. Most men wear them centre-parted, opening the forehead, or in a sort of swept to one side style if texture allows. Younger guys can try A-line styles with free coils falling on the forehead and cheeks. Another fun male style suggests trimming your curls in a rounded shape with the longest hair standing upright on the top.

Black Men with Long Hair

Dreadlocks are super flattering for African Americans and, definitely, look cooler on men than on women. These create a fantastic look when being scattered over your shoulders and top of the back. For a more formal style it’s enough to gather them into a low ponytail.

If a fancy braided look seems more appealing to you, try neat cornrows running vertically off the forehead. Most men dislike overly fancy styles, sticking to classy patterns, like this one. More versatile braided hairstyles can be viewed in the gallery braids for men.

Twists are fun and manlier than braids. A full head of thick curls is a treasure, but a man always needs to look neat and fresh. Twists keep luxurious coils off your forehead and face and offer a classy pattern that is alternative to braids. Even hair extensions look cool in long twisted men’s hairstyles.
