Are you looking for a trendy new men’s hairstyle or cool men’s haircut to update your look?
Then you are in the right spot! In this guide we will help you find a brand new hair style to try out. These are the best hairstyles for men and haircuts to get right now.
Let’s review the latest trends in fade haircuts, modern undercuts, pompadours in different lengths and styles, classic men’s haircuts, comb over haircuts, and the most popular of quiffs and crop haircuts.
In detail, we discuss the haircuts, products to use, and how to style.
The most notable trend right now is messy, textured, longer hair on top haircuts and hairstyles. However, there are more options for guys than ever before. Stay fresh, stay cool. Mix and match features, hair length, part vs no part, or fade vs tapered haircut looks.
At the moment we are seeing men’s haircuts that show off longer hairstyles with movement and flow.
The trends are more natural looking men’s hairstyles that are styled with lighter hold and matte finish pomades. You can use a blow dryer to get some exaggerated flow and extra volume to your hairstyle.
Although the trend is leaning towards longer hair and medium length men’s hairstyles we have included some of our top picks for guys that want short haircuts. Short men’s haircuts are always popular because they are easy to manage and look clean cut.
Some of these looks are fade haircuts. Others are entirely scissor cut all over including the sides and back.
You will also find the best haircut options for curly hair, wavy hair, and thick hair.
Okay, so let’s dive in and take a look at the best haircuts for men we have seen this year. Somewhere on this list there is a brand new haircut and men’s hairstyle combination for you to try out.
The quiff haircut has been a super popular men’s haircut choice the past couple years. With a high fade the cut puts the emphasis on messy textures and flow on top.
This haircut features messy longer textured hair on top with short shaved sides. A modern take on the undercut. This messy undercut fade haircut works great with thick hair.
A great example of a classic slicked back look. But here the hair on top is left a bit more natural looking. This is not the traditional approach of styling with a shiny pomade. Rather the hair has been brushed back and blown dry with a hair dryer to give that natural flow and movement. Use a matte pomade.
A great looking side part men’s hairstyle. To get this look you will want to use a product that has a bit of shine. Work a small amount of a shiny pomade into damp hair. Comb into place. To get some extra body use a blow dryer.
This has been one of the most popular men’s haircuts for several years. Shaved sides. Long hair on top. You need to use a blow dryer to get the tall big hair factor on top. A great look for any type but works best with thicker hair types.
As we have said longer hair looks are in. More and more guys are growing their hair out longer. This is a beautiful scissor cut haircut for men with curly hair. Lots of great looking flow and movement. Features a disconnected beard.
This is a cool haircut for guys to get. It features a bald fade, side part, surgical line, a long fringe (bangs), and longer messy textured hair on top.
Another great example of short sides (high fade) and long hair on top.
One of the best undercuts we have ever seen. If you have an abundance of thick hair than this might be a good option. The hair on top is left to flow wildly. Undercuts are one of those men’s haircuts that continues to evolve into cooler new styles.
A cool version of the undercut. Here we have an asymmetrical look with the long fringe in front. Men’s haircuts with longer lengths in the front are on trend and very cool. They are like the modern version of the classic “skater haircut”.
A beautifully tapered haircut. A great looking side part haircut. Not too much clipper work, mostly scissor cut.
Another great haircut that does not feature a fade. Instead the hair on the sides has been trimmed neatly with scissors. Ultra long fringe in the front.
A super cool short textured haircut with a low fade and plenty of flow. Textured men’s haircuts are awesome because they give you more styling options. They can be worn neat and clean if you style with a comb or styled into a less refined messy hairstyle.
Haircut by Rafa Underground
Such a cool haircut. Messy medium textures on top give that spiky look. Fringe was kept longer. Another undercut with a very modern twist to it.
Haircut by Tom Baxter Hair
Another great example of a quiff haircut. One of the most popular men’s haircuts we have seen the past couple years made popular by the likes of David Beckham. This one is on the shorter side. The textures give that spiky appearance on top. Use a medium to strong hold pomade to style the haircut into place.

Style a pomp, slick it back, comb into a side part hairstyle or just wear it dry and natural. So many options. To get this look use a light to medium hold pomade. Work a small amount of pomade into your hair when it is dry. Or, work it into damp hair and use a blow dryer and brush to get that movement and wavy look.
This is such a great summer haircut for men to get. Works with any hair type. Hair has been cut short on top. Features a drop fade down to the skin and cool looking disconnected beard.
This haircut is half pompadour half undercut. It features a drop fade down to the skin. To get this look you need a blow dryer. That is what will give the hair body, flow and movement. Brush and blow dry to the one side. Brush and blow dry front to back. It is amazing what just a brush and a blow dryer can do to give the hair big flow. You don’t even need to use a product. However, a light to medium hold pomade will help to keep the hair standing up for more hours of the day.

If you have thick hair this is a great haircut to try out. Tapered short on the sides. Long hair on top styled back. You can style it into a side part look or just slick it back.
I like this haircut a lot. The undercut is not shaved as high as you normally see. Hair on top is slicked back. You can either brush and blow dry it back. Or you can go for a more slick look by using a shiny pomade, work it into damp hair, and simply brush or comb your hair back into place.
Another great example of where things are headed. More flow, movement, and longer lengths of hair. A great looking tapered haircut for men. Short on the sides but no skin. Styled naturally into a side part.
Mohawks have become more and more popular in 2019. This cut features a bald fade, line up in the front to keep things looking clean and fresh, and the curls on top are left natural to do their thing.
A long fringe just looks cool. This is a modern take on the classic skater haircut for guys. Long textures are styled forwards into the flow of the fringe. The heavier hair length up front and on top contrasts perfectly with the mid fade to the sides and back.
Short haircuts for men never go out of style and always look great. This is a great haircut for guys that have thick hair and want to keep things clean and fresh. This look features a mid skin fade, and short textured hair on top styled into a quiff. The great thing about short haircuts is that they are super easy to maintain and style. Not much to it. Simply towel dry, work a small amount of pomade into damp or dry hair, and style into place using your fingers. One of the best short haircuts you could get.
A totally cool haircut. Part mohawk, part quiff, part pompadour. It features a bald fade that places the emphasis on the wild loose hair on top. To get this look you need to use a blow dryer and a brush.
Crop haircuts have been super popular. They are still going strong as we enter the second half of 2019 and will likely continue to be a top pick for guys that like a short haircut as we head into 2019. Crop haircuts work for all hair types. At first we were seeing mostly blunt cut crops. These days we are seeing more textured and asymmetrical fringes. This one is kind of in between. This is definitely one of the best haircuts for men that want to keep their hair short. It is also one of the best haircuts for receding hairlines since the hair is styled forwards.

I love this haircut. This is one of the best haircuts for thin hair of fine hair. If you have less hair you want a haircut that keeps more but places the emphasis on what is left on top. This taper fade and short sides accomplishes that. Blended perfectly into a medium length on top that has a tremendous amount of flow.
This is one of my favorite haircuts that I have seen in the past year. I like fade haircuts that are not just your classic fade. This haircut shows off some cool 1980s design with hard lines in the back and sides to give the fade some extra detail. Very cool. I got this haircut myself after I saw it done by Rafa. On top we have some nice soft looking medium textures.
Another fantastic haircut. I love this choppy textured quiff haircut that features a high skin fade. To get this hairstyle use some stronger hold pomade. Work it into damp hair. Blow dry and brush the hair into place. This is a super cool disconnected undercut meets quiff.
A few years ago it was all about short textured haircuts. Then things evolved into longer textured haircuts like this one. This is a good haircut for guys that have thicker hair whether your hair is coarse or fine. The textured cut makes the styling part easier. You can towel dry or do a quick blast blow dry. Then simply work a medium to strong hold pomade into the hair to bring the textures alive. Every day you can get a different look depending on the direction you move the hair into place. That is what is awesome about textured haircuts like this one.
