The Top 20 Men's Hairstyles 2025
The hottest hairstyle trends and hairstyles of the year
2025 is the year of diversity and individuality when it comes to men's hairstyles. From ultra-short buzz cuts to natural curls to modern mullet hairstyles or casual surfer style – the possibilities are endless. The motto is: Whatever you like and what complements your style goes a long way. Hair colors also play a big role this year: From platinum blonde to pastel shades – anything is possible.
Before deciding on a look, consider your desired hair length. Whether short, medium, or long, each length has its own appeal. Also consider how much time you want to invest in daily styling: Short hairstyles are particularly easy to maintain but require regular trims, while longer hair offers more styling freedom but also requires a bit more effort. This way, you're guaranteed to find the look that suits you perfectly!
1. Buzz cut
THE look for those who like things uncomplicated: A buzz cut is extremely low-maintenance and easy to cut yourself. Simply trim all your hair to 3-15 mm. That's it! Alternatively, the hair on top can also be a few millimeters longer.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
Once again, it's incredibly uncomplicated: A buzz cut can be worn by anyone and requires minimal maintenance or special styling products. Whether you have thick, thin, curly, or straight hair, even receding hairlines and different face shapes are no problem.
2. Natural Curls: Men with curls or perms
Whether natural or permed, curls are a definite yes when it comes to hair trends. Wild, voluminous, and long. Nothing sums up a casual, well-groomed look better than curls. The perfect look combines texture and movement. The perfect cut features shorter sides and longer top hair to truly showcase your curls.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
First and foremost, of course, anyone blessed with natural curls can benefit from this trend. But straight or wavy hair types can also get in on the action. Keyword: perm. Curls require more care and styling. The right care products are essential: Creams and oils moisturize curls, while texturizing sprays and mousses give them the bounce they need.
3. Undercut / Low Fade Undercut
With its timeless and classic charm, the undercut certainly deserves its place among the trend hairstyles of 2024. With this look, the top hair remains relatively long, while the rest is cut short. Depending on how long you wear the top hair, an undercut can look edgy, casual, or elegant, making this look incredibly versatile.
The modern version of the hairstyle, the low fade undercut, relies on smooth transitions between the short sides and the longer top hair.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
The undercut is suitable for anyone with full hair, regardless of hair texture. Depending on how you style the cut, you can blow-dry your hair back with a brush and then set it with gel or hairspray.
4. French Crop
Uh la la! The French crop is a variation of the classic undercut and absolutely hot in 2024. With this hairstyle, the hair at the nape of the neck and on the sides is shaved extra short, while the top hair is left a bit longer. Important for a rounded look: The lengths are connected with flowing transitions.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
The French crop is suitable for all hair textures, from curly to straight. Because the short sides make the face appear more angular, the French crop doesn't suit square or oval faces, and men with thin hair or receding hairlines should also be cautious with this look.
5. Modern Mullet
Ah yes, the 80s... David Bowie showed us how it's done and proved that a mullet adds that certain something to any style. The principle: short in front, long in back. In 2024, bangs will be styled either extra short or loose and natural.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
The mullet is extremely versatile and can be worn by virtually anyone—provided you have a bit of courage. Curly, thick hair textures have the necessary volume for a perfect look, while men with straight or thin hair can use styling products like texture sprays and volume powders to help. Combined with bangs, it also perfectly conceals receding hairlines.
6. Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs are a modern reinterpretation of the '90s classic. The hair is worn medium-length with a parted fringe that frames the face and gently wraps around the hair. This look adds a subtle retro aesthetic to any style, while maintaining a casual yet stylish look.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
Curtain bangs work best on straight or slightly wavy hair, as these hair types best support the desired flowing shape. For thicker hair, a stylist can thin out the ends to make the bangs appear lighter. To style, simply use a hairdryer and round brush to shape the bangs outward and secure with a little styling cream or light-hold hairspray. Regular trims will help keep the bangs in place.
7. Colorful hair colors
Colorful hair colors are an expression of creativity and individuality. From pastel shades like lavender and pink to bold colors like blue, green, or platinum blonde – in 2025, unusual colors are an absolute trend for men who want to stand out.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
Everyone! However, dry hair types in particular should keep in mind that coloring dries out the hair even more. You should adjust your hair care routine accordingly and nourish your hair with serums, oils, conditioners, and treatments.
8. Undone Waves
Undone waves are the perfect look for those who like a casual, natural look. This style features slightly textured, imperfect waves that look like they came straight from the beach. The look conveys a relaxed, cool vibe.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
Undone waves work best on wavy or curly hair, but can also be created on straight hair with styling products. It's important that your hair isn't too short, as some length is needed to create the waves. For styling, use a saltwater spray on damp hair. Lightly scrunch your hair with your fingers and let it air dry to emphasize the natural look. Avoid heavy products that weigh your hair down.
9. Man Bun / Surfer Look
The man bun has definitely earned its place among the most popular hairstyles over the past few years and is here to stay. Men will still be sporting long hair in 2024.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
All hair types and textures can be experimented with here, too. However, a relatively thick top layer of hair is required. For the trendy man bun, all or part of the hair is twisted into a bun on the top of the head and secured with a hair tie.
10. Middle parting & medium-length hair
Backstreet's Back: The center part is THE hairstyle trend of the '90s and is so back in 2024. The process is incredibly simple: simply part your hair down the middle. This look creates symmetry and frames the face perfectly.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
Straight, curly, or anything in between. A center parting gives your look a certain casualness and a modern look. It works well with all hair lengths, but it works best with medium-length hair. A certain amount of texture also goes a long way toward enhancing the look. You can help with styling products like salt spray, for example.
11. Retro hairstyles like Pompadour hairstyle
Never out of style: Are you looking for something unusual or are you in the mood for a classic look? Whether it's a pompadour, a quiff, or a completely slicked-back hairstyle, retro looks are still absolutely on trend in 2024 and fit perfectly with the old-money aesthetic.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
Of course, this depends on the retro look you're going for, but basically anything is possible here. With the right care and styling products, you can play around with the volume a bit, but of course, you still need healthy and relatively thick hair.
12. Edgar Cut
The Edgar Cut is a precise and edgy hairstyle with straight bangs and strongly defined sides. The look is striking and urban, perfect for men who prefer a striking style.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
The Edgar Cut is particularly suitable for thick, straight hair, as this texture best supports the clean lines. Curly or wavy hair requires an experienced hairstylist to maintain the shape. Maintenance requires regular trims to maintain the sharp contours. A little gel or pomade can be used for styling to keep the bangs and sides clean and smooth.
13. Leo DiCaprio
No one had a more lasting impact on men's hairstyles in the '90s than Leo. The look? Medium-length hair, casually swept back. A small section hangs slightly over the face as a fringe. Done! To keep the hair where it should be, you can help it stay put with a little wax and/or hairspray.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
This look is suitable for all hair types, but looks best when your hair has the necessary volume. Very thin hair types or men with a receding hairline may prefer other looks.
14. Wolf Cut
The wolf cut is still a staple in 2024 and makes a clear statement: bold, trend-conscious, and hip. With this hairstyle, the top hair is shorter than the back and, depending on the variation, can resemble a mullet. The varying transitions between the top hair and the hair on the sides are intended to resemble a wolf's mane—hence the name.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
The look can be worn by any hair type—provided your hair is thick enough for the look. Wax, texturizing spray, and hairspray will help style the cut and bring it into perfect shape.
15. Taper Fade
Fade haircuts will continue to be absolutely on trend in 2024. A fade means that the hair on the sides and back of the head gets progressively shorter from top to bottom, and the transition from short to long hair should be as seamless as possible – completely without lines or edges. The taper fade isn't shortened all the way around the head, but only at the nape of the neck and sideburns , while the other hairs remain longer and blend smoothly into one another.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
Fade haircuts suit almost all face shapes and hair types and are incredibly versatile. Depending on the hairstyle, styling effort is minimal to moderate. However, the look does require regular touch-ups.
16. Old Money Hairstyle
The old money hairstyle represents elegance and classic aesthetics. This look features perfectly styled, shiny hair that's combed back – inspired by timeless gentleman looks and upper-class aesthetics.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
This style is particularly well-suited to straight or slightly wavy medium-length hair. Thick hair will benefit from this volumizing treatment, while thin hair can be enhanced with styling products. A high-quality pomade or gel with strong hold and a slight shine is recommended for styling. First, comb your hair back and then finish with a shine spray. Regular conditioning will keep your hair healthy and shiny.
17. Bald head
Whether voluntary or involuntary, a bald head makes a statement and puts the focus on your face. This gives you the freedom to experiment a bit: The combination of a bald head and a beard gives you a timeless, masculine look. Or how about new glasses? Anything is possible and never out of style.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
In principle, anyone can go bald. However, it's particularly popular among men struggling with severe hair loss. From a styling perspective, a bald head is naturally extremely comfortable, but it does require regular shaving or trimming.
18. Bro Flow
Stylish, casual, and cool. The Bro Flow has a charm all its own. Medium-length hair is styled back. The hair at the nape of the neck and on the sides is slightly shorter, while the top layer is longer. Styling it back gives this look a particularly casual feel and creates a flowing aesthetic—a flow, so to speak.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
The Bro Flow is especially suitable for medium to thick, straight, or wavy hair. Regular trims keep hair healthy, while a light styling product like cream or pomade shapes the hair back without weighing it down. Air-drying or blow-drying creates a natural, flowing look.
19. Slick Back Hair/Old School Wet Look
With slick-back hair, the hair is combed straight back and styled with pomade or wax, creating a more elegant and subtle look—often with a matte to slightly shiny finish. The old-school wet look, on the other hand, relies on a shiny, wet appearance achieved with gel or shiny pomade. While the slick-back look is timeless and versatile, the wet look embodies a striking retro style inspired by the 50s and 60s. Both hairstyles have their own effect, depending on the desired style.
20. 70s Shag and Shaggy Hair
The 70s shag is a classic, specific hairstyle from the 1970s with a rock-and-roll, rebellious look. Shaggy hair is the modernized, more versatile version, inspired by the shag hairstyle but more flexible and less retro. Both looks represent casualness and structure, but differ in their effect and target audience.
Suitable hair types, care and styling:
The 70s shag often has a center parting and pronounced bangs, while shaggy hair can be styled more flexibly, including with a side parting or without bangs.
These styles are particularly well-suited for medium to long, wavy, or slightly curly hair, as the layers perfectly highlight the natural texture. For straight hair, texturizing products can be used to create the signature messy look. To style, simply spray a texturizing spray or salt spray on damp hair and scrunch it with your fingers to emphasize the layers. Regular trims ensure the layers don't grow out and the bangs retain their characteristic shape.
