50+ New Hairstyles For Men

By Rich Krafting

Updated:

This year has ushered in a wide variety of men’s hair trends. Some continue and build on last year’s looks, some riff on classic men’s hair and others are brand new styles. Read on for the best new hairstyles for men to get right now.

One word you will see over and over again is texture. Whether it is a cropped look cut to enhance texture or a medium hairstyle, it’s all about texture this year. Separation adds dimension and volume to hair. For guys with wavy or curly hair, this means growing hair longer to leave the natural texture visible. Taking texture to the next level, spiky styles are back in a big way but with modern takes on texture like thick spikes or a messy, tousled finish.

In addition to texture, popularity of crop haircuts has also reinvented bangs for men. There are so many ways to wear forward fringe, including a blunt line, diagonal or jagged teeth.

Hair designs have been evolving over the last few years. In addition to bold graphics, subtle lines and shaped necklines are other ways to express yourself. While fade haircuts are still popular, if you want to try something else you can go for a scissor cut taper instead. Or get a disconnect hairstyle with a defined line or step.

There are plenty of classic men’s hairstyles going strong as well. Taper haircuts are often styled into pompadours or sweep backs. There are also short haircuts for all hair types including fine, thick, black and curly. Most of these retro styles are updated with textured styling, modern lines or bold lines.

Check out more than 50 of the latest new hairstyles for men to try this year.
