Over the past few years, men’s haircut trends have favored styles featuring short sides with the volume on top. These cuts haven’t faded in popularity, but this year, they’ve certainly branched off. Many are getting creative with textures, and between slicked back hair and natural curls, short sides long top haircuts are doable for any hair type.

Top Men’s Haircut Trends for 2018

1. Textured Fringe

If you’re looking for a stylish haircut, the texture is key. Whether you grow your bangs long and sweep them to the side or keep them short and tame, they should have some noticeable layers and a choppier cut. For the most part, this style calls for bangs kept facing forward with a fade on the sides and back.

2. Disconnected Undercut

Undercuts have been popular in recent years, but in 2018, they’re growing even bolder. While general undercuts have a transition between the cropped hair on the sides and back and the long hair on top, disconnected undercuts forego a gradual shift. At a point just below the top, the length is cut short while the sides and back are cropped consistently.

3. Pomp Fade

Revived from the ‘50s and ‘60s, pompadours have taken on a modern twist. Today’s pomps ditch the curled fringe and high-over-the-forehead look, instead focusing on overall volume. Best suited for long hair, this style requires you to slick back your hair daily. Most have their barber add a fade to the side and back, which can transition nicely into a beard.

4. Curly Fade

If you have curly hair and an eye for men’s haircut trends, you’ve most likely experienced the nuisance of constantly straightening your locks. Thankfully, the natural hair movement is in full force. Use your natural texture to your advantage to create unique styles. Keep the top flat, or grow it out for extra volume, as this style pairs perfectly with a fade.

5. Messy Waves

One of the few cuts that don’t require a fade, messy waves take texture to a new level. Disheveled but neat waves give you an effortless, laid-back look. While you might grow out the sides and back, keeping them cropped neatly makes this haircut more versatile and easier to manage.
