The Man Bun
Forget the haters. Chances are if you’re considering this style you’ve forgotten them long ago anyway.
The much-maligned man bun is the crowning achievement for any man growing out his hair.
Once your hair reaches “bun-able” length, you’re ready to release your inner warrior and try out this look. Whether you have straight, curly or kinky hair, this is a fine styling option for men with long hair.
Short Sides with Medium to Long Texturized Hair on Top
This look is perfect for men that want the best of both worlds: the classy short cut and the freedom of defined free flowing hairstyles.
Whether you have medium length or longer hair, this look is perfect when styled with a texturizing pomade.
JH's Clay Pomade became my favorite pomade this year for three reasons. Firstly, it actually gives a true 12+ hour all-day hold. Secondly, it's only made from four ingredients so you dodge the chemicals that other brands pile in. And lastly, it smells manly fresh. Unless they change something, this is my new go-to.
Slicked Back Pompadour and Low fade with Natural Part
This hairstyle is for the well-groomed man.
The smooth slicked back pompadour looks very professional with a high fade and well-shaped beard.
Faded Mohawk
This look is a great style for hair of any texture. The clean sides of a high fade blend into the loose natural textures of the mohawk.

High Skin Fade and Longer Hair
If you’re a fan of fades, you definitely want to give this one a try.
The high skin fade really steps up the style for this cut and is a definite favorite in the business world. The longer length on top can be styled into a pompadour or worn loosely.
OK, these are good. They're a classic metal safety razor with the proper weight and size to give a smooth shave with one pass. I get very minimal irritation with these (and this is usually a big problem for me). If you're a dude who shaves his face, give these a look.
