@danidoeshair5280

This is a slicked-back hard line haircut, also known as a disconnected pompadour haircut with a hard part. The best thing about this look is the hard part that can literally change the entire look in 3 seconds.

When styling, stylist Dani Ernst of Colorado suggests using a mousse when the hair is damp and a round brush to help with volume. Ernst says, “then use a mixture of a texturizing paste to piece it out and a dry texture sprays for some grit to keep the volume. Then finish it off with some strong hold hairspray so it won’t move.”

This is a haircut for men that have a lot of and/or thick hair for styling purposes.

High Taper Fade with Shaved Part

@garycorry11

This hard part style is a classic 40’s/50’s hair cut with a modern twist, made by Gary Corry, a barber from England. It’s a bold skin fade with a hard part, also known as a high taper fade shaved part. “Talk to your barber about keeping the fade mid to low to drag the fade out and enhance the faded look with the hard part,” Corry suggests.

Having the right face shape is important to the cut as it complements an oval face shape best. The hair type itself is also important. The best hair that works is straight heavy hair. You can get the same look with finer hair but, for Corry, heavier hair works best.

@momoneythebarber

This hairstyle is called a bald fade combover with hard part. Barber Mo from Florida suggests to ask your barber for a high taper fade long straight line part to get this specific hairstyle.

When adopting this cut, Mo points out that you must get used to using a blow dryer.

Mo adds, “Products are good, like pomade or wax, but the blow dryer will give the hair its initial direction. Products will give you a longer lasting hold, especially for the pompadour hairstyle. This will give you an extra sophisticated look on top of being stylish and having a good fade. It’s the ultimate classic hairstyle.”

@hairrockerbet

This undercut with a hard part is edgy and business at the same time. It’s a great statement look for fashionable boys and men alike. Slick it back or pump up the volume with a cool pompadour.

Ohio-based stylist Bet Vannoy warns that a boys’ hard part is a high-maintenance haircut. “To stay sharp, keep up with the cut every 3-4 weeks. Styling clay or creme will be your best friend for a natural or matte finish. For that slick and glossy rocker-do, use a high shine, high hold gel,” she adds.

@jojo.larae

“Most guys would use pomade or paste for these styles, but if you have curly hair a gel, curl cream, or leave-in conditioner would be perfect for curls and easy to style,” Hamilton adds.
