The statement that beauty salons are designed only for fashionable female representatives has long been refuted. The time when all men went to barbershops to get cheaper or shorter haircuts is long gone. And already in 2024, you can see more and more people on the street with stylish unusual hairstyles for short and long hair.
Features of men's haircuts for short hair 2024
Today it is not shameful for a man to pay much attention to his appearance.
He can visit salons and barbershops, grow or shave off his hair without belonging to a particular subculture, and even dye himself in different shades of rainbow colors.
In order not to seem sloppy because of the creative mess, and because of the color dyeing - a freak from 2007, it is necessary to follow the trends and recommendations that the world of high fashion dictates for each subsequent season.
Fashionable men's haircuts for short hair 2024 have their own number of features. For example, shaved temples and the back of the head have become relevant, and on top - an elongated hedgehog, medium-length mohawks, bunches or crops.
Rules for choosing haircuts for face shape and hair type
When choosing a model haircut or any other hairstyle, a man needs to consider not only its cost, but also whether it is suitable for the type of face oval or hair structure.
According to the international standard, there are 7 types of face shapes:
- oval shape;
- round;
- rectangular;
- square;
- triangular;
- pear-shaped;
- diamond-shaped.
Based on this classification, stylists in salons can choose the type of haircut for their client that will complement his image, and not spoil it.
Oval face shape
Owners have the largest face length indicator and a rounded, not sharp, jaw angle.
The faces of such men are elongated and do not have sharp features, so they can afford almost any short haircut.
It can be British, Canadian, Boxing or Semi-boxing.
Square face shape
The length of the face, as in the oval shape, is quite large, but at the same time there is an acute angle of the jaw.
The most successful haircuts for a given face shape:
- Quiffs;
- Undercut;
- Fade.
Stylists also note this face shape. They say that such clients are very easy to work with because they just need to choose a hairstyle. At the same time, you can experiment not only with its style, but with its length.
Rectangular shape
Has the largest indicator of face size, i.e. it looks more elongated than square or oval. At the same time, the size of the cheekbones, forehead and chin is about the same, which makes the face even more like a rectangle.
Men with this type need to be careful when choosing a haircut so as not to make their face visually longer than it is.
To avoid this, you should choose hairstyles that will balance the upper and lower shape of the head, and not taper it towards the top. To do this, you can ask the master not to cut too much hair on the sides, but, on the contrary, leave a shorter length on the crown.
The most suitable type of hairstyle for a rectangular face is with a side parting like a British woman, but with elongated temples. Short haircuts combed to the side to the top or bottom of the bangs will also look advantageous.
Round face shape
Not uncommon among men. This type has soft rounded features: the angle of the jaw is less pronounced, the cheekbones and face length are about the same, as are the forehead and chin.
The most suitable hairstyles for men with a round face:
- British;
- Canadian;
- Caret;
- Quiff.
Fashionable men's haircuts 2024 for short hair for a round face are best styled upto make the face look more elongated. To give such a face more angularity, it is necessary to use haircuts with sharp corners and volume at the top.
Heart-shaped face
The prominent features are a large forehead, a pointed chin, and little cheekbones. A haircut for this shape should not accentuate the lower and upper parts of the face at the same time, therefore too short haircuts, such as Boxing or Half-boxing, are strictly prohibited here.
The most suitable haircut options for a given face shape:
- Underkat;
- Canadian;
- British.
For this type, haircuts with an elongated top and shaved temples are suitable.
This will help accentuate the width of the forehead and cheekbones. A medium length beard can complement the hairstyle.
Hairstyles for medium hair length at the crown are best placed on one side and direct a few strands to the forehead.
This way, one side will create an outline and the forehead will look narrower. In this case, the beard may become superfluous, but this must be regulated already from the preferences and lifestyle of the man himself.
Triangular
Different from everyone else. In this case, the man's forehead is small, which is compensated by the size of the chin, however, the cheekbones are more pronounced here than in the previous paragraph.
Therefore, men with this face shape hairstyles such as:
- Fade;
- Undercut;
- British.
Also in this case, you can experiment with styling the elongated part of the hair: comb it back or leave it at the bottom in the form of a bang.
The rules followed by professionals are not inviolable, and this does not mean that one type of hairstyle is suitable for one particular person.
The structure of the hair also decides a lot in this matter.
Fashionable men's haircuts 2024 for short hair are designed for any hair structure. But since this season, haircuts with an elongated length at the crown still prevail, you need to know how to style them depending on the structure of the hair.
The most common trend in 2024 is wavy or curly hair that looks spectacular with just about every hairstyle.: from the chaotic British to the modern execution of the haircut pot. Such hair does not need to create additional volume, they do it themselves perfectly.
In order to better know how to style this type of hair, it is recommended to look at the hairstyles of Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Justin Timberlake or James Franco.
If a man has straight thick hair, then in this case, problems should also arise. All options for classic haircuts are suitable for this type. Except for Slickbacks. David Beckham is a great role model. To create such a hairstyle, just a little strengthening mousse or hair pomade is enough.
Fine, straight hair is the most difficult to style. For men with this type of hair, the best option would be Boxing or Half boxing ultrashort haircuts. Since the hair texture itself is sparse and also lightweight, any styling, with or without fixing mousse, will not last long outdoors or even indoors.
If, nevertheless, you are tired of short haircuts under the "hedgehog", then you can try the Slickbacks technique, when the hair is firmly fixed with a gel. But even this styling option is not recommended to be worn for a long time due to the chemical compositions of the strengthening agents.
Haircuts for teens
Haircut trends for 2024 are shaved whiskey, elongated hair at the crown that is neatly tucked up. However, this is what concerns already adult men who spare no effort and time for daily styling.
For teenagers, the hairstyle should be as simple and boyishly casual as possible.
Fashionable men's haircuts for short hair 2024 for teens are accurate models of regular hairstyles that adapt to the type of appearance and lifestyle of the child. Most often at this age, facial features are not so rough, the chin does not stand out, and the line of the cheekbones is hidden by “children's cheeks”, so you can count on the same effect as your favorite actor.
The undisputed leader among adolescents from 15 years old is the British haircut or its second version, the Quiff. The peculiarity of this haircut is that it looks great on straight and curly hair.
However, to maintain it, you need to set aside 1-2 minutes every day to style it. But it's a good way to get your teen to take better care of their appearance and prepares them for adulthood right away.

- Wet hair of medium length is taken as a basis.
- Further, the upper and lower parts of the crown are separated by a horizontal line from ear to ear, and horizontal lines are drawn from the first part to the temple on each side.
- The occipital and temporal parts are clipped with a clipper. In this case, the closer the hair is to the face and the top of the head, the more the attachment for the machine must be used. The transition from one hair length to another should not be noticeable.
- The haircut is done for medium hair, so the length at the crown is not pulled too short, but only adjusted.
You can complement the hairstyle with a shaved parting or a pattern on the back of the head or temporal part of the head at the request of a teenager.
For boys who are fond of various sports, British or Canadian haircuts will not be practical: the hair will fall on the face, get into the eyes and constantly get dirty. Therefore, in this case, haircuts such as Hedgehog, Bobrik or Poluboks will be the best option.
All of the above options are quite sporty, so to make the teen more presentable, it is better to use a short haircut Tennis... A feature of the hairstyle is its versatility. You can play football with her without fear that your hair will get into your eyes, and you can go to the theater without shocking the intelligentsia with a shaved head.

- The hair on the occipital and temporal parts is cut short enough.
- In the region of the crown, the hair is pulled perpendicular to the head and cut with a pull: the closer to the end, the longer. The second hairstyle option is to leave the hat flat on the top of the head and lay it on one side.
- At the end, using scissors or a typewriter, the transitions are corrected. The hair is ready.
Another feature of Tennis is that it is easy to get out of it into a different type of hairstyle - the more modern and risky Underkat.
The undercut is characterized by shaved temples and a voluminous crown.like Tennis, with one exception: in this case, there is no smooth transition. Those. after the occipital-temporal hedgehog, hair of one medium length immediately follows on the crown. Long bangs have many uses.
It can be laid on one side, side parting, combed back from the face, or, conversely, left bangs on the forehead, and during vigorous activity, even collect hair in a bun on the back of the head.
For elegant men
Men who prefer a strict classic style should have an appropriate hairstyle.
Based on the trends of 2024, there are several haircut options:
- British;
- Hitler Youth;
- Princeton.
Princeton is a haircut that gained great popularity back in the 30s, and since then it has been actively used by business people.
The princeton haircut is cut in 4 stages:
- The temples and the back of the head are shaved short.
- Parting is done on the side.
- The smaller part of the parting should smoothly go to the temple.
- The hair on the crown should be slightly less than the average length on the British. And with the help of filler scissors, the ends are processed so that the bangs are not heavy and have volume.
The Hitler Youth is shaped like Princeton. The difference between these two hairstyles lies only in the fact that the Hitler Youth has sharper features, a smooth transition between the temple and crown, and the hat itself is denser. The cutting technology is almost the same with minor differences.
With shaved temples
Fashionable men's haircuts 2024 for short hair have a feature that distinguishes them from hairstyles of past years, namely shaved whiskey. More than 1,500 hairstyles belong to the category of haircuts with shaved temples.
Most popular this year:
- Boxing;
- Half box;
- Underkat;
- Hitler Youth;
- Canadian;
- Side desks.
Such hairstyles are done using a shaving machine with different attachments. A haircut is carried out in two ways: if a person wants to be left with the top hat, or by adjusting it.
For the first and second options, the hair is collected only at the crown in one bun along a strict line. In this case, the temporal and occipital parts remain intact. Using the machine with the smallest attachment, the loose part is shaved off.
It is necessary to start from the bottom and gradually go up. If necessary, you can resize the nozzle to create an invisible gradient.
Parting
Some men's haircuts contain a parting, but this is not the one that women do, throwing hair from one side to the other, but shaved. Side parting plays the role of not only an aesthetic addition to the hairstyle, but also makes the hair more manageable.
There are the following types of parting in men's hairstyles:
- Straight (runs down the middle of the face).
- Lateral narrow (done at the transition of the crown to the temple in the form of a thin line).
- Side wide (done at the transition of the crown to the temple from a wide strip to a thin one).
Parting is done in two approaches. The first for wet hair, the second for dry hair. At the first stage, the hair is divided into two parts in the place of the future parting. Then the machine with the smallest attachment is taken; for a deeper result, you can not use it. The parting begins to form with the sharp movements of the machine.
In this case, the line should not turn out to be an ordinary segment from point A to point B, but narrow. The widest part of the part starts from the face, and the further to the middle of the head, the part narrows. At the second stage, the hair should already be dried and you can start the correction process: the elimination of excess hairs that make the parting uneven.
With a bang
The bangs in men's short hair are not just a part of the hair that covers the face, but also a part of the styling that can be directed with strands to one side, covering half of the face, or styled back with all the rest of the hair for volume.
The following types of bangs are distinguished:
- oblique,
- asymmetric;
- graduated;
- milled;
- straight short and long.
In fact, making bangs yourself is not so easy.
To do this, it is better to ask a person from the outside or go to the salon, because you may simply not see some elements of the work.
Cutting bangs technique:
- It is necessary to separate a thin strip of hair from the left edge and pull it with a comb or fingers. Next, you need to trim the strand parallel to the parting, while you do not need to cut too much, but only just below the eyebrows.
- The second step is to repeat the previous one, but now with a strand of hair that is above the first. Those. parting is again carried out and the actions are repeated in parallel with the first.
- Repeating the same steps, only on the right side.
- In the fourth step, you should get a bang in the form of a cape. To prevent it from being too sharp and noticeable, you can cut off the corner. But you don't have to.
Another option is suitable for teenagers or creative people. In 2024, the fashion for short bangs has returned, both in men's and women's haircuts.
In the version with a male haircut under a pot, it is done quite easily:
- Above the eyebrow line, an adhesive plaster or tape is pulled, which will indicate the border of the bangs.
- With the help of the machine, the extra long is cut.
Curly hair
Fashionable men's haircuts 2024 for short curly hair look no worse than with straight hair, and somewhere even better. This year, there is a whole trend for wavy and curly hair.
A feature of haircuts for curly hair is that the main emphasis is on the voluminous crown of medium length, while the occipital and temporal parts are most often shaved. What makes another option for a more relaxed British haircut or Undercut.
And if you make more bangs from the length on the top of the head, then the hairstyle takes on the appearance of a transformer, when you can simply lower it on your forehead or raise it in a creative mess.
For owners of very small curls, and not curls, you can advise options for haircuts with a shorter long crown, as is done in the Poluboks hairstyle. In this case, the hair on the temples and the back of the head is cut under the machine, but with a smooth transition to the upper part.
Who does not like their own curls, you can make an army version of Boxing, then it will not be noticeable that the man has curly hair.
Men's hairstyles according to style: classic
Classic men's hairstyles are characterized by clear geometric patterns and angles. These hairstyles look so neat, it seems that each hair has its place and does not stand out from the overall composition.
Execution technique:
- Separate the hair to the crown from the area of the temples and crown.
- To cut the hair, you need to start at the back at the bottom, gradually moving higher, making a smooth gradient in length.
- Moving on to a haircut in the crown area, you need to know for sure whether there will be a parting or not.
- If there is still a parting, you should separate the hair in a ratio of 2: 1 and in the zone 1 of the part smooth the transition to the temple with thinned scissors. Parting is done with a shaving machine on wet hair. For a classic haircut, a narrow side part is made.
- The second part of the hair on the crown should be no more than 5 cm, for this it is necessary to put the hair on one side and walk along the ends of the hair with thinned scissors so that the arrival to the temporal zone is not noticeable on the other side. This will simultaneously lighten the hair and give it volume.
At the end of the haircut, it remains only to dry the hair and fix the bangs area with gel or lipstick so that the strands do not separate from each other.
Sport
The sporty hairstyle is one of the most common in men.It includes:
- Boxing;
- Half box;
- Tennis;
- Hedgehog;
- Bobrik.
All of them are built according to the same step-by-step scheme, only with different values for the length of the hair on the crown. From the very beginning, at the base of the neck, the whiskey and the back of the head are shaved with a razor with the smallest attachment. Climbing higher, the nozzles are changed to larger ones in order to obtain a smooth gradient when moving to the length of the crown.
The Box haircut is fundamentally no different from the Half Box, with the exception of the length of the cap. In the first case, it reaches a maximum of 5 cm, and in the second - 8 cm.
This type of hairstyle is complemented by hand-cut patterns in the crown or temples., and also draw up precise angles, which subsequently have to be adjusted every two weeks.
Militari
Militari's haircut style is fundamentally no different from other sports hairstyles. In this hairstyle, the entire lower part of the hair is also cut off, then there is a slight gradient, and then 5-6 cm of the length of the crown hair.
You can style your hairstyle in any way: forward, up or sideways. To make the hairstyle more interesting, you can use the gel and achieve the effect of wet hair.
Romance
Romantic haircuts are most often achieved with medium length hair, with bangs and a parting on the side. Not so long ago, the person of Leonardo DiCaprio was associated with this image.
Such a hairstyle is built on the principle of combining all zones with each other by choosing the appropriate length on them. On the crown and crown of the head are the longest hairs, which taper off to the back of the head. For this, one of the most sophisticated hair leveling techniques is used, in which the hair is pulled back 45 degrees.
Grunge
The grunge style is a rebellious direction in rock music, and hairstyles should be appropriate for this lifestyle. A feature of the haircut is a careless, torn styling with highlighted strands or the effect of wet hair.
This effect is achieved with the help of thinned scissors, a large amount of hair gel or coloring. These techniques apply to all the hairstyles listed above. Fashionable men's haircuts, which were relevant 10, 20, 30 years ago, eventually become relevant again in 2024. And this applies not only to medium length, but also to short hair.
