The iconic that symbolised the golden era of hip-hop, the box fade brings all kinds of nostalgia. You might know it as the hi-top or flat top. It is the style that combines sides that taper down to a short length with a sharply-defined rectangular top.

2. Afro Fade

The Afro fade is a fun haircut for any man able to pull it off. In essence, the Afro fade incorporates the tapered sides of the box fade with a top that is somewhat left to grow how it likes.

3. Short Part With Fade

If your hair is on the thicker, curlier end of the spectrum, have your barber shave a feature ‘part’ line for stylish results. The part line acts as a point of asymmetry and adds interest to what could otherwise be a standard haircut. With the addition of faded sides, this style is very relevant right now.

4. Pompadour

Black Men Haircuts

It’s a haircut that’s traditionally worn by men with fine, straight hair. However, this type of cut is also a perfect match for those with tight curls; you can style tremendous control over the shape your hair takes.

5. Line Up

Instead of letting your natural hairline dictate your hair’s outline, this haircut sees your barber shave a straight hairline with sharp angles into your hair. Line ups take the idea of defining your hairline on your neck to your forehead, and it looks spectacular. Do keep in mind, that this cut requires frequent maintenance, lest you end up looking as if you have facial hair stubble on your forehead. This style draws attention to your eyes and brow line.

6. Wave

The style makes your hair a feature in its right. The look will take a while to appear, and you will need a few products to get it going, most importantly a wave brush. Speak to your barber for more advice on how to achieve this unique haircut.

7. Curls With Fade

Let your curls grow to a longer length on top, and have them take on their own style. The juxtaposition between the unrestrained medium-length curls and neat, faded sides makes for a unique look.

8. Buzz Cut

Another easy option for those who don’t want to worry about dealing with difficult hair. The buzz cut is the short, military-inspired hairstyle that is low maintenance but high impact. As with any super-short haircut, the look will draw attention to your brow and make your face look more defined.

9. Buzz Cut With Beard

Technically not a haircut in its own right, but the combination of a buzz cut and beard is always a winner for men with thicker hair. For the best results, buzz your beard down to a length that is consistent with your beard. You can achieve the neatest looks by manicuring your beard’s shape around the sideburn area and by keeping the cheek line consistently well-maintained.

10. Short All Over

Simple, short all over. Longer than the buzz cut, this standard short style still acknowledges your hair’s curly nature without it becoming something you need to deal with day-to-day. To truly make this style yours, regular trims are imperative to keep from having your hair appear untamed.

12. Geometric

This haircut is another style that takes advantage of thick hair and tight curls. Strong angles define a geometric cut, but there is no steadfast rule on how it should look. Your imagination is your guide here.

13. Twists With Fade

Maintain some length on the top and style twists in the way outlined above. On the sides, opt for a length that tapers down. The style draws attention to what’s happening upstairs. This haircut works particularly well if the hair on top is a little longer and unruly.

14. Short Hair With Fade

Clean, fresh and neat. This haircut keeps the hair’s length in check before it can take on a life of its own. It takes its cues from the fade haircuts that are on trend right now. For extra striking results, combine the fade with facial hair, the disconnected length makes for an attractive and eye-catching aesthetic.

15. Clean Shave

It’s the easiest way out, sure, but it can look amazing and fresh on the right head. Not just the killer solution for a receding hairline, a clean shave might just look amazing on your head. The look sends a bold message of confidence in your style. Keep in mind, if your hair is particularly coarse, you may be prone to razor bumps.
