10 Hard Part Haircuts

By Rich Krafting

Updated:

A hard part haircut cuts a part into hair with clippers. Also known as a shaved part, razor part, or line in haircut, this is an easy way to set your haircut, and self, apart from the crowd.

While many hard parts are side parts, there are plenty of ways to get the look. The part can follow the natural part, go even longer, or be shorter. A shaved part can also be straight, diagonal, or curved.

Not all barbers are fans of the razor part. While the fresh line is crisp clean, hair does what it does – grow. Then there are two options, keep up the shaved line or eventually grow it out. Growing out a hard part is easy for short hair or haircuts with short sides, guys with longer hair, may require a transitional haircut.

Now don’t let that scare you off. Here are a few cool ways to wear the hard part haircut. These looks feature shaved parts between the temples. Other types of line haircuts are also on trend.
