The spike hairstyle was popularized by David Beckham in the early 2000s. It became a rage back in the day with every kid getting a bunch of Brylcreem and spiking his hair.

The spikes are still in and it looks great on many mean and give you a head full of voluminous hair.

#5 - Burst fade for Thick Hair

 

The burst fade haircuts are specifically a perfect hairstyle for thick hair. It is characterized by a very sharp electric clipper cut on the sides.

For people who have thick hair, their hair on their sides grows very thick and fast and becomes unruly in a matter of weeks.

The burst fade gives the hair some time to grow and keeps you looking neat for a longer period. So it's perfect for black hair in professional settings like an office. And this means, lesser barber visits!

#6 - Crew Cut with Beard and Skin Fade

 

Many people assume that a crew cut is exactly the same as a buzz cut, but it’s actually different.

A crew cut has a fade and a buzz cut doesn't. Due to that, a crew cut can be styled much better than a buzz cut.

A crew cut with facial hair and a fade is one of the most popular hairstyles out there.

#7 - Military flattop

A military flattop is a niche hairstyle that has been gaining a lot of followers. A military flattop is essentially a crew cut, the top is high and tight and styled in a specific way such as a side slick back.

But if you look at the hair, it will be flat and will not be raised. This is a great look.

#8 - Slick back with fade Short Haircuts For Men

Since Di Caprio had his hair slick back in Titanic, this has been a very popular look.

Even all the mafia movies had characters with slick backs, like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas.

The slick backs make a person look very suave and smooth. But the slick back has taken a whole new dimension this year with the slick back with fade.

This is characterized by your traditional slick back, while the sides have a simple fade that is created using electric clippers.

#9 - Medium Shag Short Haircuts For Men

 

If you are unclear about what cut to get and you couldn’t be bothered by all the different styles out there.

A medium cut is your best friend. Tell your barber to give you a medium cut and he’ll know what to do.

A medium does not use electric clippers but relies on scissors. The barber just shortens your hair exactly along the top your sides and back.

#10 - Short Side Swept Haircut For Men

If you couldn’t be bothered about hairstyle and do not want to maintain your hair at all. A short cut is the best.

The barber runs electric clippers through your hair and shortens it as much as possible, he also leaves a whiff of hair on the top to let you stylize it.

This is the perfect non-maintenance hair.

#11 - High and Tight Short Haircuts For Men

 

The High and Tight is one of the most classic hairstyles that is famous world over. It was popularized by military men back in the day. Being bald was a style that a lot of military men got bored with.

So they came up with the high and tight. The high and tight is super simple to cut, easy to maintain and requires no barber type skills.

All you need is an electric clipper and some time. A high and tight is super simple. Some hair on the top of the head is left alone and the ones on the side and back are trimmed clean.

Some with more hair and some with less. This is always a classic shorter hairstyle.

#12 - Short Side Part Short Haircuts For Men

The side part is a forgotten look. Men of the old days used to sport a side part and that was super popular. Now the side part is making a comeback as an old-school style with a modern touch.

A short side part is super easy to create. You partition your hair from the side and comb it over towards one side.

This is a neat and clean hairstyle that can be sported by anybody. You don’t require much hair for a side part to fall into place. You can make do with little hair.

#13 - Short Quiff Haircut

 

A quiff like I’ve mentioned in the other articles is a mix between a mohawk and a pompadour. When you take a pompadour and don’t finish it and style it like a mohawk, it becomes a quiff hairstyle.

A quiff also doesn’t require too much gelling, it naturally stands up for men who have styled their hair towards the sky.

This is a super stylish hairstyle that you can make look like you have a lot of hair without having too much hair. Some men don’t like to have that “bald” look in the front and the short quiff is the perfect option for them.

#14 - Short Spikes Short Haircuts For Men

One of my most favourite hairstyles for men has always been spikes. It’s a very underrated hairstyle that not a lot of adult men have the guts to pull off. But the short spike is a whole new beast. It’s, in fact, better than the long spikes.

When hair is cut short and it’s no longer than the first line on your index finger, then you have enough hair for short spikes. Short spikes are characterized by raising your short hair with gel in a spiked style.

This is a very stylish hairstyle that is perfect for short spiky hair and does not require too much prep time.

#15 - Buzz Cut and Mid Fade hairstyle for men

The Buzz Cut, we’ve covered on the top. That’s a classic style. But these days, the styles are way different. The Buzz Cut with a Mid Fade is when the classic buzz cut gets a modern-day fade.

A fade is basically when the hair tapers off from the side and the back.

But with a mid fade, the taper is pretty dramatic from the middle of your sides. This is a super stylish hairstyle that is easy to maintain, looks good, makes you look young and is also easy to cut.

You could probably get a mid fade done for yourself.

#16 - Short Slick Back + Drop Fade Hairstyles For Men

When anybody ever uses the word slick back, then think off only one thing and that is Leonardo Dicaprio’s hairstyle in the Titanic.

If you are too young to have seen that movie, then Google it! The Slick Back is basically when your hair is combed over towards the back side.

The truth of the matter is, you don’t need too much hair to get a slick back hairdo. You can do it with short hair.

That old-school hairstyle is mixed with a drop fade to give you an envious short hairstyle. A drop fade is when the sides and the back of your head have shorter hair. This is a classic mixed with a new age style.

#17 - Short Bangs Haircut For Men

 

The Short Bangs is something that nobody has heard of because it is primarily seen as a woman’s hairstyle.

But men have bangs too! This hairstyle is best explained by the description of one of the most popular characters on TV and that is Spock. Spock’s hairstyle in the show Star Trek can be considered a short bang.

A short bang can also be described as hair that does not cross the eyebrows.

This is a perfect, fuss-free hairstyle that suits a lot of people. It doesn’t take too much to maintain and also looks good with clothing of all types.

This is a highly recommended hairstyle for people who don’t care too much about hairstyles.

#18 - The Short Mohawk Hair Cut For Men

Well we’ve all seen the Mohawk. To me personally, the Mohawk has been a hairstyle that is super out of bounds. Why?

I don’t want to stand out from the crowd so much. When we think of a mohawk, we think of a punk rocker with razor-sharp spikes that is dyed pink. But that is doing injustice to the mohawk.

The mohawk is much more. You can get a short mohawk, which is basically, hair on the top that is centred and everything else is cut.

No spikes, but just a stretch of hair. This is a super neat hairstyle and makes a man look really good.

#19 - Short Pompadour Hairstyle Men

The Pompadour is a grandiose hairstyle. It’s big and rich and shiny. But you can sport the pompadour, without all the pomp.

With shorter hair, it’s called the short pompadour and it’s basically the same hairstyle but looks much neater and less “done-up”.

Unlike the pompadour, the short pompadour can actually be prepped in the house by anybody by applying some gel and using a comb.

A smart hairstyle perfectly suited for short hair.

#21 - Crop with a Fringe 

 

A short crop with a fringe is one of the coolest short hairstyles for men. It looks stylish and gives you a modern look.

A simple crop is good, but a crop with a fringe makes it look like you’ve styled your hair.

When the barber uses a scissor to cut your hair, then it’s called a scissor cut. It’s better than a clipper because a clipper cuts your hair really short.

With a scissor cut you can choose the length you want and the style you want. For men who really don’t like super short hair, then this scissor cut is your friend.
