In this guide, we’ll break down the most popular haircut styles for men, from clean fades to textured flows, and help you decide which one to try next.

Why Your Haircut Matters

Your haircut is one of the first things people notice about you. It speaks volumes about your style, professionalism, and attention to detail. A great haircut can:

  • Improve your appearance

  • Frame your face better

  • Make your grooming routine easier

  • Help express your identity

At Kingdom Touch Barbershop, we help clients achieve their best look with precision, care, and a personalized experience.

Popular Haircuts for Men

There are many stylish haircut options available. Let’s explore the most popular men's hairstyles by length so you can find the perfect fit.

Short Haircuts for Men

Short hair is low-maintenance and always in style. Here are some trending short haircuts:

Buzz Cut + Shape Up + Disconnected Beard

A sharp, military-inspired look. The shape up keeps edges clean, and the disconnected beard adds contrast.

Short Textured Haircut

Ideal for thick or wavy hair. It adds layers and texture for a modern, effortless look.

Skin Fade + Cropped Fringe

Clean on the sides with a slightly longer front. A favorite for men who want something edgy yet simple.

Short Hair + Cropped Fringe

Great for men with straight or slightly curly hair. Easy to style and maintain.

Medium Haircuts for Men

Medium-length hairstyles offer versatility and style. Here are a few to consider:

High Fade + Loose Pompadour

A classic meets modern combo. The fade adds sharpness, while the pompadour brings volume and flair.

Spiky Modern Undercut

Adds edge and personality. Best for younger guys or those who like a bold statement.

Medium Length With Natural Flow

Perfect for guys who like a more laid-back, natural style with some movement.

Classic Pompadour Haircut

Timeless and neat. Works well in professional settings and social events.

Wavy and Curly Haircuts

  • High Fade + Curly Top

  • Men’s Haircut For Wavy Hair
    Both allow your natural texture to shine while keeping the sides clean and manageable.

Long Haircuts for Men

If you’re into longer styles, these might be for you:

Long Hair Undercut (Viking Style)

A bold look that combines long top layers with shaved sides. Eye-catching and masculine.

Slicked Back Hair

Works well for men with straight or wavy hair. Use a quality pomade or gel for hold.

Flat Top

A retro-inspired look that stands tall. Best for men with coarse or kinky hair.

Light Taper Fade + Long Hair

Keeps the sides neat while letting the top grow long and free.

How to Choose the Right Haircut

Choosing the best haircut depends on a few things:

  • Face Shape – Round faces look good with height; square faces with softer edges.

  • Hair Type – Thick, thin, curly, or straight all require different styling.

  • Lifestyle – Some cuts require more daily maintenance than others.

  • Personality – Want to make a statement or keep it subtle?

Your barber can help guide you based on these factors.

What to Ask Your Barber

Here are a few helpful things to mention:

  • The name of the haircut you want

  • Whether you want a fade (and how high/low)

  • If you want your beard lined up or shaped

  • What length you want on top

  • Show a picture if possible—it helps a lot!

FAQ About Hair Styles

What is the most popular men's haircut right now?

The mid skin fade with a textured top or messy crop are very trendy right now. They're versatile and work with most face shapes.

What haircut suits a round face?

Styles that add height like the quiff, pompadour, or faux hawk help elongate round faces.

What's the difference between a fade and a taper?

A fade blends the hair all the way down to the skin. A taper gradually shortens the hair but doesn’t go as short as a fade.

How often should I get a haircut?

For short styles, every 2–3 weeks. For medium to long hair, every 4–6 weeks is usually enough.

What's the best haircut for thick hair?

Textured styles, like the French crop or layered cuts, help manage volume and prevent puffiness.
