Let’s get real: the ideal haircut has the power to totally turn your entire look around. You’re another guy in the crowd one second, and the next you’re the man that can’t help but be noticed. If you’re battling for the CEO look, a rockstar appearance, or simply plain old just want to look like you didn’t roll out of bed five minutes ago, your haircut is the secret ingredient. So, what’s trendy in 2025? Here’s the ultimate top 10 list of the hairiest men’s haircuts—beginning at number 10 and counting up.
10. The Bald Look
Nothing says confidence quite like shaving it all off. Going bald is the ultimate power move—no combs, no styling products, no hiding behind your hairline. It’s low-maintenance, clean, and always sharp. Think Vin Diesel, The Rock, or Jason Statham. If you’ve got the swagger to back it up, women love it—and your shampoo budget drops to zero.
9. The Fade
Fresh, clean, and infinitely versatile, the fade has reigned in barbershops for decades—and shows no signs of slowing down. It’s particularly legendary for Black men’s fashion, but it suits nearly everyone. In addition to short curls, waves, or a line-up, layering on top gives you immediate shape. Usher and Drake got their start, and they’re still finding that magic recipe of fashion and ease.
8. The Longcut (Layered & Loose)
For wavy, curly-haired, or thick-haired men, the long layered cut is the epitome of laid-back cool. Cut all over with the scissors, it makes the top heavy and casual, but also retains those natural-textured waves. Imagine a urfer cool with a fashion model—bad boy but chic. It’s low maintenance, requires no significant styling, and actually gets better the more bedhead it accumulates.
7. The Tousled “Bad Boy”
Messy can be done. The tousled look is all mid-length hair that’s textured and slightly undone-looking—like you slept in and improvised. A bit of pomade, some finger-styling, and you’ve got mystery and rebellion packaged. Women adore it because it gives off that artsy, rule-breaking feel.
6. The Side Part
Sleek, corporate, and durable—the side part is essentially the haircut version of a crisp, fitted suit. With volume on top and elegantly tapered sides, it was ageless in the 1950s and remains effective today. Thicker hair is its best partner, but the sleek, Mad Men look looks equally as cool on a night out as it would in a boardroom.
5. The Buzz Cut
The buzz cut is tight, crisp, and unmistakably masculine. Once a military necessity, now it’s the choice of men who desire a tough, no-nonsense look with barely any maintenance. Throw on a fade or a bit of scruff, and all of a sudden it’s hard and cool too. No-frills, simple, and direct.
4. The Crew Cut
If there is any haircut that suits basically any guy, it’s the crew cut. Short and tidy, with a bit of flexibility, perfect for the office but relaxed enough for Friday night. A touch of product will have it lying flat, or allow it to get a bit undone. It’s the “I’ve got my life together” cut, and that may be precisely why women love it every time.
3. The Pompadour
Big, bold, and brimful of confidence—back in all their pomp are the pompadours. There is plenty of volume and height on top, with short sides; it’s the classic retro rock-and-roll look, but given a modern sheen. There is some styling involved, but if you can pull it off, it screams charisma.
2. The Quiff
The quiff is the pompadour’s rebellious cousin—tidy but untidy, a bit rough around the edges, and usually more fun. The front is swept back, creating lift without being sheer drama. It’s edgy but friendly, stylish but laid-back. Elvis popularized it, and the modern quiff is one of the most complimentary cuts for men with attitude in their clothes.
1. The Undercut
Number one is the undercut—today’s male haircut king. Shaved or closely shaved sides and the hair longer on top, it’s all about contrast. Slick it back, side sweep it, or leave it textured; it always makes a statement. David Beckham, Brad Pitt, and a whole list of other style icons have made it an international bestseller. It’s bold, versatile, and sure to grab attention.
Ultimately, your style isn’t so much about the way your hair is cut—it’s about the way you hold yourself. The right cut can give you polish, edge, or intrigue, but without it, it just doesn’t work. Choose the style that suits your attitude, and make the world double-take.
