Trendy Hairstyles for Asian Men

Check out these popular Asian guy hairstyles that are trending on Instagram!

1. Classic Middle Part

One of the most common Asian hairstyles for Men is the middle parted short straight haircut, and it’s very easy to achieve. For this one, you’ll have to let the top part of your hair grow longer than the bottom part to create that “bowl” cut style.

Then simply part your hair in half down the middle and use hair creme or muse to make it stay like that for the rest of the day. You can grab a little strand of hair to fall down your forehead for a little twist.

 

2. Bowl Cut

Haircuts for Asian men don’t have to be boring. You can cut your hair in a bowl shape, meaning the top part being rounder and longer than the bottom part of your hair.

To give it a twist to the common hairstyle, ask your barber to cut down the bottom part into a faded effect to really contrast the top from the bottom side of your hair.

 

3. Soft Waves

Like we said, Asian men have extremely versatile hair, and although it is very thin and straight for the most part, you can wave it to give it some texture and volume.

We recommend you to wave the top part of your hair with a small curling iron and then broke down the curls with your hands to give it more of a messy hairstyle.

 

4. Messy Middle Part with Long Bangs

Again, this hairstyle gives it a little twist to the regular middle part haircut. To achieve it, follow the instructions we mentioned back in Asian male hairstyles 1 but make sure not to take the top part of your hair to the back.

Instead, grab those frontal pieces and with a hair texturizing product shake it up until you get that “messy” look and let them fall on your forehead and there you have it!

 

5. Shaggy Hair

Although most Asian men prefer most casual haircuts, this red color really brings up attention to your face and can look really good. Of course, you’ll have to bleach your hair first and then apply a bright red hair dye.

As to the kpop haircut, it’s pretty similar to a regular bowl cut, with the difference that this one is longer (it covers the forehead) and should be long enough to give you some bangs.

 

6. Mullet

If you’re looking for unique Asian guy haircuts, then this one’s for you. To get a mullet you need to let the top and bottom part of your hair grow, but make sure to cut down the sides so the difference between the two is visible enough.

Whether you want to leave the front part of your hair long enough to cover up your forehead or not, it’s up to you, however, the true mullet haircut looks exactly like the picture we’re showing you.

 

7. Faded on The Sides and Long on The Top

Although this hairstyle sounds similar to the mullet, it isn’t. This particular haircut for Asian men is much shorter than a regular mullet, and the top front part of your hair should be short enough that your forehead is exposed.

Make sure to cut down just the sides of your hair and leave the top and the bottom part with the same cut. To style, it simply adds some hair gel or muse to leave everything in place.

 

8. Slicked Back Hair

Give some texture to your hair by dying it blonde with subtle highlights. Again, you’ll have to bleach it first and then dye it. As to how to achieve the haircut, you’ll have to let your hair grow and cut it only on the bottom and side parts, without touching the front.

To style it, simply push your hair back using either hair mousse or texturizing, you can help yourself by blow drying it as well and combine it to get the style on the picture.

 

9. Hard Part Hair

Asian hairstyles for men have many variants and this is one of them. To get this type of hairstyle all you have to do is let one side of your hair grow longer than the other (which one is up to you).

Remember to trim down the shorter side, but not so much that you can see your scalp and then style the longer part so it falls to the side in a careless way.

 

10. Short Curly Hair

Believe it or not, curls are a hairstyle option for Asian men, and they’re very easy to achieve, all you have to do is grab a thin curly iron and curl only the top part of your hair.

To really bring out the contrast between the top and bottom part, ask your barber to cut down the sides of your hair and then style the top part so it stands out, showing off the curls.

 

11. Short Messy Haircut

If you have short hair and want to style it a different way, you can try this Asian male hairstyle. First, part your hair down the middle (a little bit more to the side than usual) and then grab hair gel or hair m0usse to style the longer side of your hair.

12. Quiff

13. Japanese Style

If you’re feeling risky, you can try wearing hair accessories such as bandanas. First, make sure to wash and dry out your hair to then apply hair gel throughout to create the messy look.

16. Middle Part with Exposed Forehead

This one is also a classic haircut for Asian guys, but unlike the previous one, the top part of your hair must be long enough that it covers the shorter part on the sides.

20. Top Knot

This is a variation of the classic Asian men’s long haircut. This time you’ll have to shave down the sides, back part and a little section of the front part of your hair altogether, leaving only the top long enough to grow out.

21. Brown Highlights

To get this Asian hairstyle ask your barber for a low cut on the sides but leaving enough hair on the top of your head, long enough that you can see the difference between them.
