Today, I will discuss my picks for the three quickest, easiest, and sexiest men’s hairstyles that ladies absolutely love. Coincidentally, these hairstyles look good on every guy. The other upside is that they all require very little maintenance and don’t take much time to style.
Terms to know
- Tapering refers to cutting the hair shorter as it goes down your head.
- Fading is a type of taper because the hair goes from short to long but will be cut shorter. You often hear about skin fades, bald fades, or low fades. Typically, this will go from very short to a little bit longer, and you’ll be able to see a hard line of hair. There’s no transition from short to longer.
- Texturizing your hair is giving your hair different lengths in specific regions using thinning shears.
- You could also do razoring, a technique for giving your hair more texture by cutting different lengths in the crown.
- Another type of texturizing is point cutting. Standard cutting removes length, making everything the same length. It will be more blunt. Point cutting involves taking the scissors vertically and skipping over different areas to give your hair different lengths to create more texture and volume. This will also give more definition and separation.
Texturizing Styling Aids
Two important hair styling aids for texturizing are sea salt spray, which will give your hair texture and volume, and texturizing powder, which allows you to style your hair without looking like you have used the product. Texturizing powder allows you to restyle your hair throughout the day without any oily or greasy look.
Styles that look good on every dude
Textured crew cut. This is not a buzz cut that takes everything to one length and is super short on the crown (it can be a bald fade or skin fade to give more structure and symmetry). Most guys don’t look good with a completely shaved head. The crew cut is better because there are a lot of variations in length. You could choose a Caesar, French crop, or a messy textured top with short, tapered sides. Buzz cuts look good on guys with prominent, strong features who don’t have a double chin. A buzz cut will make your head look more round. Add a bit of facial hair if you have strong features and want to elevate them to the next level. Facial hair such as a light beard, a stash, or something on the chin will help to balance the face and give a bit more attitude and edge. The crew cut will give attitude and edge and is low maintenance. These do require regular haircuts.
Side part. This hairstyle is versatile and works with any face shape and hairline. Whether you have a widow’s peak or are receding, different styling products and lengths on top are options. The length should range anywhere between 2 to 6 in. The sides should be tapered, but you can opt for a faded side part, which requires more visits to a barber or stylist to keep it looking fresh. A taper is a bit longer on top, shorter by ears, and will last longer. You can typically wait 4 to 8 weeks between cuts with a taper. If you wait 6 to 8 weeks, trim around your ears and the back of your neck. A side part is a great style for growing your hair because it’s a clean and polished look.
Textured flow. This is the best hairstyle that’s out there. It looks great on pretty much every guy. The medium-length flow has a ton of different variations and options. You could go with a center or a side part, but the bottom line is you’re letting your hair grow. You need to go for regular trims every two weeks, but generally, it’s a low-maintenance style. You don’t need to spend much time styling or drying it. Apply sea salt spray out of the shower and then a low-shine product like a hair cream or hair clay. Run the product through your hair and then push your hair into place. Later in the day, break up the pieces as the hair dries. The hairstyle is deliberately messy. Air-dried, the style will give you more of a rugged and manly look. This style is good for anybody as long as you don’t have super thin or fine hair.
