10 Classic Men’s Hairstyles That Have Stood The Test of Time

Some hairstyles are fashionable only for a certain time. They wear it for a few years and then leave. Then some hairstyles are timeless. They have looked good for years, and although they have changed a bit over time, their foundation remains. If you’re thinking about trying a new hairstyle, choose one of these 10 classic types. Even after years, they are still stylish, and men love them.

The Buzz Cut

The Buzz Cut is a classic that never gets old. It suits almost every man with a hooded face or prominent features (cheekbones, sled). Its history goes back to the 20th century when it was especially popular in the army. The soldiers did not have to modify it in any way. All you had to do was wash your hair and let it dry.

However, over time, men who were not in the army also liked the simplicity of the adjustment and the stylish appearance. The Buzz Cut thus became one of the classics that barbers also began to cut. Among celebrities, Channing Tatum likes it for example.

The Slick Back

In case you are not a big fan of short hair, you should bet on a hairstyle called The Slick Back. It is characterized by the fact that it is adjusted backward. As with The Buzz Cut, this one is fairly easy to edit. You don’t have to use a hair dryer. It is enough to use only the right cosmetic products, such as volumizing spray, wax, or paste. Fixing spray and hair dryers are also great helpers.

The Slick Back has also been in fashion for quite a long time. It first appeared in the 1920s. Men loved him mainly because of his elegance and stylish appearance. Today, this hairstyle is often combined with the so-called Undercut style, where the sides of the head are shaved.

If you would like to be inspired by a famous man, look at photos of actors such as Jake Gyllenhaal or Brad Pitt.

The Side Parting

The side-parting hairstyle is characterized mainly by dividing the hair into two parts. It was popular in the period from the 1920s to the 1940s. It is also elegant and formal. However, if you combine it with shaved sides, it looks more modern and relaxed.

Adjusting this hairstyle is simple and quick. All you need is a high-quality comb, a brush, and a cosmetic product to shape it. Our favorite is the matte paste.

The Side Parting is a hairstyle that suits every man regardless of skull shape or clothing style.

The Pompadour

One of the most popular hairstyles that have been trending for years is The Pompadour. It appeared for the first time in 1750. Since then, men have not let it go and regularly have it cut. Its adjustment requires a longer time. You will also need a hair dryer for it.

One of the celebrities who made The Pompadour famous was Elvis Presley. Today, in a more modern version, it is also worn by many famous men. The advantage is that you can adjust it exactly according to your length. Some prefer long hair, others shorter.

Undercut Pompadour

If you want The Pompadour hairstyle, but want it to have a more modern and slightly different look, consider its second form, the so-called Undercut Pompadour. It is a very similar look as in the previous case, with the only difference being that the hair is cut from the sides to a very short length.

The Quiff

If you’ve been thinking about The Pompadour, but want something more modern, consider The Quiff. It is characterized by the fact that the hair is not completely groomed. On the contrary. The style is a bit unkempt. Many men combine it with slightly cropped hips. It also goes well with the beard.

Editing this hairstyle is simple and quick. You don’t have to spend as much time with it as with The Pompadour. Even in this case, in addition to the right cosmetic products, you will need a hairdryer and a quality comb or brush.

The French Crop

But let’s move again to shorter hair. The French Crop is a simple hairstyle that doesn’t take much time in the morning. It has several editing methods. From completely zero to a gentle “lifting” of hair with gel, wax, or other preparation.

A characteristic feature of this hairstyle is the shorter bangs that go to the forehead. Thanks to her, she can perfectly shape the face. Not to mention that it seems slightly rebellious. The hairstyle is especially suitable for men with sharp edges on the face. He can draw attention to them. You can learn it quickly and simply thanks to the hair powder.

The Shoulder Length

If you feel comfortable with shoulder-length hair or just above it, choose The Shoulder Length style. It has been popular for decades. It suits men with and without a beard. Perfectly complements formal and informal looks.

You don’t need to style your hair in any special way for normal wear. Blow it as much as possible to get more volume into it. However, if you’re going to an event, it’s a good idea to style your hair. Hair styling creams are ideal for this, as they provide a very soft and natural fixation and structure, which is exactly what this hairstyle needs.

Johnny Depp is a lover of this type of hairstyle.

The Textured Cut with Fringe

The hairstyle is similar to The French Crop, with the difference that the sides are cut out or shaded. The hairstyle is very easy to style and looks good on every man. The contrast between the top of the head and the sides is particularly striking. Again, we primarily recommend hair powder and a comb.

The Modern Hi-Top Fade

Every man who has an afro will look good with this hairstyle. Characteristic elements are shaved or shaded sides and a longer top. The hair is then adjusted to the height. In the past, Will Smith loved this hairstyle.

Summary

There are dozens to hundreds of different men’s hairstyles from which you can choose one and try it. However, if you want to play it safe, choose one of these ten classics. They are immortal and will look good even in 10 years.
