Have you ever struggled with finding an attractive new short hairstyle you felt confident in? It’s actually not that difficult to spice up short hair and bring new life to it.
Whether it’s by shaving in detailed lines on the sides of your head, giving it an off-center part, forming an unusual arrow detail at the back, or trying another stylish technique, there are many ways to give your short haircut a new glow.
Short Hairstyles for Men
The next time you’re on the hunt for short hairstyles you don’t need to worry about having the right face shape for, you’ll want to check out one of these 35 short haircuts and hairstyles for men.
1. Short Thin Haircut
If you have naturally short thin hair or just like to keep it that way in general, a cut that appears buzzed with a curved line shaved in at the sides is the easiest and lowest level of maintenance you’ll get besides going completely bald. Switch the design up when you get bored to play with style!
2. Short Thick Hair
For men with thick hair, take advantage of your luscious locks and style them up into a pompadour framed by a low fade. It’ll take a bit of combing and some gel to get it shaped and smoothed like this, but the result will be enviable!
3. Short Haircut for Black Man
For afro-textured hair, a short haircut is professional and always in style. If you have a job that requires you to look on point at all times, this hairstyle will help you look dapper and clean-cut.
4. Short Straight Hairstyle
Men with straight hair can rock a short style swept up at the front. Use a hair dryer or just your hands with either hairspray or gel to create the shape, then brush down the rest.
5. Short Hairstyle for Receding Hairline
Jude Law is the perfect example of someone with a receding hairline, but no one pays attention to it when you have his hairstyle! The key is to play up texture with your fingers, so your style doesn’t look too perfect.
6. Side Part and Medium Bald Fade
For an off-center side part with a medium bald fade, make sure your hair has a couple inches of length to it that you can smooth and part to one side. The other side features the medium fade with a cropped cut near the top for a nice edgy contrast.
7. Short Hair with Back Arrow Detail
If you want a haircut that screams fashionable, you need this one for short hair with arrow detail at the back. The neck up to the ears and just past is free of hair but the eye is drawn to a skinny arrow that lies underneath a mix of buzzed and long hair.
8. High Skin Fade and a V in The Back
A V in the back of this haircut adds a touch of detail to a high skin fade. This style will need touch-ups to keep it precise and its point looking symmetrical. The other important part of this haircut is keeping the fade cleaned up.
9. Parallel Lines in The Front
Looking for a bold haircut for your short hair? Parallel lines that begin at the edge of your forehead are a great style option for men wanting a haircut that stands out. These shaved in lines can be thick or thin and be enclosed or open for a multitude of style options.
10. Short Blonde Hair
Maybe you’re wanting a little punk style thrown into your haircut. Opt for platinum blonde on your short hair but cut it at a diagonal and shave in a line to separate long hair from a low fade.
11. Statement Hair Design
When you have more time to commit to a statement hair design, a line of arrows that begin at your temple and lead down to the nape of the neck is another attractive, eye-catching hair technique to consider.

Some of these are short haircuts, most are bad, as in shaggy unkempt look. that’s a really lousy example of a military high and tight. Beckham’s is closer to the real thing.

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. [email protected]
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!!!!!
i dont know what to do i have a wide head and long hair and i want to cut most of it off but im scared people will make fun of me
hay can any one show me how to make this type of hair on a vid heres a link just leave a comment and ill check the link
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive learn something like this before. 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.”
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 😉
m
Bedankt voor het delen, was hier al even naar op zoek!
i like the short hair of david archueta but the other have shark shark hair
Still nothing new, my hairstyle is best.
Cool story brah, too bad nobody cares.
I’m surprised Justin Timberlake’s hairstyles arn’t listed.
Very nice haircutting snaps!! I liked almost every cutting pretty much; in fact I’m planning to cut my hair like David Archuleta hair style. Thanks for lovely sharing. 🙂
Deference to author , some fantastic selective information .
well, my hair is uber soft! cant leve without applying oil or gel.. I want a good short hair cut, and I dont want to use hair gel ‘coz of hair fall. Im fair. can I get a suggestion? Thank you 🙂
1. Thanks for taking the time to compile these photos. Googling & Binging ad nauseum for choices.
2. For the trolls whose only contribution is whining or complaining, build a better website for hairstyles, give a link to an alternative resource or go put your big girl panties on and quit bitchin’
3. Any good sites for 40’s-60’s hairstyles? Like in the WWII era movies, short sides, part. Littlle to no gel styles. Thankss
Cool modeling hair 😀
