    Skin Fade Cut for Short Curly Hair

    41 Fresh Short Haircuts and Hairstyles for Men

    @qkutta09

    This short cut is very clean, fashionable, and common. Since the majority of men want a skin fade haircut to allow their hair to last a long time and to also show confidence in themselves, barber Marquieta White of Florida suggests this one.

    Pay attention to the details of head structure, the pattern of the hair growth, and the cleanliness of the hair.

    White explains, “These play a major part in styling because it would affect how the hair lays. Try not to use too much pomade or gels, as the build will not allow the hair to look its best with lots of product. If you were to use a product, Lay Rite or Sweet Jamila are guaranteed winners. Brushing would be best to style with this texture which is thick and coarse.”

    Short Haircut with Hipster Quiff Style and Surgical Line

    41 Fresh Short Haircuts and Hairstyles for Men

    @grave.dave

    This is a high and tight skin fade, with a quiff top and added hard part by Dave Brown, a barber from Waterloo, ON.

    Brown explains, “the fade is kept high using the roundness of the head along the parietal ridge to complete most of the fade. The shortest length is baby smooth skin completed with a foil shaver.”

    The biggest thing to consider before adopting this cut is the shave on the hard part. Brown continues, “That’s a commitment. Are they going to be in your chair at least every two weeks for upkeep? And are they willing to commit to the regrowth or buzz cut when they want to change styles?”

    Brown believes short hair styles for men like this are best styled tight or loose, and with matte or shine, water-based or oil products. This cut does work on a variety of hair types, but, it adds to the morning routine for upkeep.

    Short Hair with Textured Crop

    41 Fresh Short Haircuts and Hairstyles for Men

    @slimfadey__

    This short style features two contrasting factors within the haircut.

    The first being the textured crop through the top panel. UK-based barber Slim Fadey achieved this by razoring and point cutting to create versatility in the shape and style, enabling men to wear this cropped cut in numerous ways.

    Secondly, Fadey created a high skin fade into the weight line, creating a seamless transition from skin to hair.

    This haircut is one of the most current trends at the moment, as it’s low-maintenance, yet sharp and easily suited to any hair type.

    According to Fadey, products are a big part of pulling this look off, depending on how you want to wear it.

    “For a messy crop, a volumizing powder is a must, alongside some very dry clay. For a more polished look, an oil-based pomade will keep it in place all day and night,” Fadey notes.

    Short Clean Cut for Men Over 50

    41 Fresh Short Haircuts and Hairstyles for Men

    @michelle_hairdresser

    This is a short, clean cut fade that’s great for men over 50. “It has a nice blended fade I created using my clippers and cutthroat,” says hair artist Michelle Kurdian of Melbourne, VIC.

    The key to creating this style is tools! Kurdian explains, “After shampooing and conditioning, I like to use the Cricket Static-Free Volumizer brush. Brush your hair as you blowdry so you can manipulate the hair to sit in the style you want.”

    By doing this, you actually don’t need much hair product to make the hair go into position. When you apply your product, less is always more! “You can always add more product to your styling if you need to, but you can’t take it away,” she explains.

    This hairstyle can always be slightly tweaked to suit any hair type whether it’s fine, thick, or a medium hair texture. This look will makeover any man who wants to have a sharp but trendy look.
