It may come as a surprise to many women to learn that men can be as vain about their appearance as they can. Men take a great deal of pride in their hair styles and in the way hair can affect a man’s overall appearance. Many men prefer to wear shorter hair because it can take years off their appearance and help them to look more masculine, sexy, & strong.
Short hairstyles usually suitable for every face shape except square shape. If you have a square face shape, you can wear a style that cleans squared off corners like fauxhawk, messy spiky, curly, etc. Short hairstyle (except spiky hair with short sides) is mostly suit for oblong face shape. Because it will add width to your face shape.
The Popularity Of Men’s Short Hairstyles
Throughout the centuries, men have worn a variety of different hair lengths and styles. However, in the last one hundred or so years, men have been more prone to wearing shorter hair in mainstream society. There are many reasons for this rise in the popularity of men’s short hairstyles.
- One of the first has been religion. Most Christian denominations believe that a man should wear his hair short so that his head is uncovered when he prays. This is in opposition to the belief that women should allow theirs to grow long so that their heads are covered. This allows for a rapid distinction between the sexes on sight
- Another common reason is the need to stay cooler. Athletes and men who work outdoors in the summer know that they do not shed heat as efficiently if their hair is longer. This can be an important fact to consider when working in hot climates where keeping the body cool is critical to continuing to function.
Lance Armstrong hairstyle - Being a member of the military is one of the main reasons to keep the hair short. Regulations dictate what is considered acceptable length for male hair. However, these regulations are relatively relaxed as far as the choice of men’s short hairstyles available. Men can wear a wide range of buzz cuts that result in very short hair. These can include a high and tight, a crew cut, a flat top, and more.
High & tight military haircuts
- Business men find that they are more widely accepted when they have short hair. They are also considered to be more trustworthy as long hair on men has been associated with less than savory lifestyles. Shorter hairstyles are viewed as more conservative and businesslike. Long hair is considered liberal and almost hippy like.
Robert Pattinson slick hair. - A final reason for shorter hair to be so popular is the wide range of styles available today. The creation of hair gel and pomade have given men the ability to create virtually any style they desire and apply products that will hold the hair in place for hours at a time. In many cases, refreshing a style is a simple matter of running the fingers through the hair or applying a small amount of water and comb.
Ryan Sheckler buzz cut.Men have many options in creating short hairstyles. There are several variations on the buzz cut, so named because it is done entirely with electric clippers that make a buzzing sound as they cut the hair. Some styles are created using a combination of clippers and scissors. Others are done entirely with scissors. Some have the hair cut with a straight razor to create added texture and jagged ends.
The cut plays a large part in determining what men’s short hairstyles can be created. Many styles are created entirely by the way the hair is cut. However, this is not always the case. Many have their hair cut shorter on the sides and back while leaving the top a bit longer. This opens up several styling options.
The top can be combed to one side leaving a part on the opposite, combed forward and flipped back to create a pompadour, cut so that the bangs hang over the forehead in a Caesar.
Sting spiky hairstyle.Spikes are also becoming more popular. There are many different ways to create spikes in the hair. This option allows men to take on a more rakish appearance for an evening on the town while restyling the hair so that it lies flat and takes on a more conservative appearance during the day.
Men’s short hairstyles have been quite popular for the last hundred years or so. They have also evolved considerably in that time. There are several reasons for this popularity including religion, military service, business, and simple personal taste.

I guess it would have to match your personality. Definitively it wouldn´t go with you if you are kind of a Pop guy, Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato lover or something. ijrdsm@gmail.com
You guys are lame! I got a fauxhawk for my pub3s!! =D
I am 39yrs male who had a mullet,I wear that way for yrs.I decided I needed a change,I had it cut short,it,s spicked on top,it took the hair stlylst a while to cut it.Everyone says I look much younger.
you should definitely remove iversons pic from this page…it requires a tremendous amount of hair to pull that off…its just braided tight to his scalp. corn rows generally require some pretty good length
chhheeeeeesseee!!!!!

So good to search out any person with some unique thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for beginning this up. this web site is something that is needed on the web, someone with a bit of originality. useful job for bringing something new to the web!
Some guys just look good with certain hairstyles. I’ve got an oblong long face, so I’ve been trying out different hairstyles. And I agree with you, a short hairstyle suits my face shape best. Lol… ok, so I’m a little vain too.
From those above, and with my “limited” options, I think it will have to be the Wentworth Miller Buzz cut for me!! 🙂
I’m with richard, bald as a coot. I miss having a fringe…
I’d go for the Justin hartley look anytime – very me 😉
This is great fun!! I am sure there will be something better than my ‘comb-over’ 🙂
This is a great list, I prefer the ‘part’ as well defined by clooney.
Great list of interesting hairstyles for men. If you have time please give my website a watch out probably we can work somehow together.
Iverson’s cornrows would work for me!!!
We always favor the buzz cut military style. ‘High and tight’ is the way to go!
The ‘Sting’ style is one i have noticed quite a bit in the bisex community. Sting has always been a sex god with his ‘Tantric’ pursuits.
Ive had long hair all of my life. Started football a few weeks ago and long hair just isnt working out. Its not super long but its long enough to make me mad. I dont know what short hair cut I should get.
The person(s) who wrote and gathered this information is so bias and hyprocritical. This article says that “Short hairstyles usually suitable for every face shape except square shape.”
However, this article under the “Hairstyle for Square Faces” piece ” says “Short to medium length hair will suit you.” http://coolmenshair.com/2007/12/hairstyles-for-square-faces.html
Gahh. I dislike inaccurate info.
I am a nudist so the Shemar Moore cut is about as long as I would want – when the rest of you is shiny flesh you need a haircut to match 😉

Bedankt voor het delen, was hier al even naar op zoek!
