Fashionable men's haircuts for short hair. Titles, photos, video haircut lessons for novice hairdressers

2024 offers men both new discoveries of hairdressers-stylists and the good old classics. The variety of haircut variations, especially for short hair, is very multifaceted in the stream of fashion trends. But by analyzing information about catwalk shows, star parties, fashion trends can be traced.

Fashion trends for men's short haircuts in 2024

The favorites of the forms of the minimum hair length are called "Boxing", "Half-box", as well as the army preference of men "Military" and "BuzzCut". Extended versions of a similar direction in "Canada", "British" and this season firmly settled in the images of the strong half of humanity.

The many-sided haircut "Tomboy" is confidently gaining momentum.

In contrast to her creativity, a round of fashion from the distant 30s returned the strict "Hitler Youth" or familiar as "under the Fritz". "Underkat" and "Grunge" again fashionably emphasize masculinity and style with their versatility. And, of course, among the leaders of the season is a haircut with a pattern, emphasizing the individuality of its owner and silently completing his image.

Names of stylish haircuts for short hair

Men's haircuts are no less than women's. But it's easy to figure it out. They are divided into classic and model ones. The first are characterized by straight lines up to 5 cm in length. The latter are based on the former with various elements of creativity.

Among the old haircuts in the new version deserve attention:

• Mohawk;
• "Caesar";
• "Pompadour";
• "Mr. Cool."

Whatever the choice, the haircut should suit its owner.

Choosing a haircut according to the shape of the face

It is impossible to choose men's haircuts for short hair so that the style, inner worldview, lifestyle are in harmony and emphasize the dignity, if you do not take into account the outlines of the face.

Several types of forms are distinguished:

• oval;
• triangular;
• round;
• square.

How to determine the type? Comb all the hair back, fully opening the face, and visually correlate its shape with one of the listed figures. Visually (or even on paper) you need to draw your face shape (for example, square outlines). Enter an oval into it. Anything that will stick out of the rectangle must be hidden with a haircut.

The only exception to the category of "superfluous" will be the protruding jaw - after all, on a man's face, it "reads" like masculinity.

Oval face shape

In the correct proportions, an oval is ideal. Almost all hairstyles will suit him. If there are deviations towards elongation - you should exclude the high crown, volumetric styling up. The oval strives for rounding - on the contrary, visually complementing it vertically, paying special attention to the geometry of the haircut in the area of ​​the temples.

The best options are:

• haircuts with bangs;
• "Canadian";
• "British";
• "boxing".

Triangular shape

There are 2 options here: the triangle is directed downward (narrow chin and wide forehead) or, conversely, a wide lower face and a narrow forehead.

In the first case, it is more reasonable to choose the option with a voluminous crown and sides short to a minimum:

• "Canadian";
• "British";
• hairstyles with bangs.

And the second case will force you to resort to haircuts with elongated strands on the side, hair combed to the side and bangs. We'll have to give up visually "pulling" hairstyles.

Round form

It is not recommended to cut hair shortly in the occipital area and on the sides for men with this type of face - this will round out the outlines even more.

This shape begs for creating similarity of angles and elongation:

• "Anderkat";
• "Canadian".

The winning options will be careless disheveledness, asymmetry, bangs combed to one side.

Square

You can offer men a fairly wide range of haircuts: both classic, or even something from a retro style.

Experiments taking into account the structure of the hair are possible in the following directions:

• haircuts with hair combed back;
• "Hedgehog".

Men's haircuts for short hair must also be chosen taking into account the following factors:

• direction of hair growth;
• structure;
• anatomical structure of the skull;
• features of the hairy part (scars, moles, etc.);
• the health of the hair.

Without taking into account the structure of the hair, a haircut can look unnatural or a lot of time wasted on styling.

Here are some guidelines:

1. Thick, coarse hair is problematic to style, especially when combed back or to the side: classic haircuts are optimal.
2. Curly, wavy hair: haircuts with casual accents in the form of tousled strands will do (for example, "Anderkat").
3. Straight hair without styling, as a rule, hangs like "icicles".
4. Thin hair is difficult to create volume, therefore lush styling is contraindicated (British, Hedgehog are recommended).

The structure of the skull, and maybe the presence of scars and similar troubles that I would not like to flaunt, also make adjustments in the choice of hairstyle. So does the health of the hair. For example, Anderkat bangs with split ends look untidy, nullifying the whole image.

What tools are needed to perform a men's haircut

A wide comb is required when working with wide strands. Fine with frequent teeth - for small strands like a short haircut. Plastic combs are used, including those made of silicone, rubber, they are distinguished by the quality of the material. The requirements for them are simple: antistatic, flexibility, strength. It is also important that this working tool does not slip in the hand.

Hairdressing scissors differ from conventional scissors in sharpening angle, in steel quality and, as a rule, in the presence of sharp tips. Their lengths vary and their choice depends on personal preference.

As you can see from the table, there are 4 types. It remains to clarify that double-sided thinning with teeth on both working blades, and one-sided - only on one. For flag ones, one blade is normal or with fine teeth, and on the second there is a nozzle, possibly with a pattern.

trimmers

Rechargeable batteries - they work both from the mains and from the battery.

Vibrating:

• low-power;
• vibration is felt in the hand (possible disadvantage);
• as a rule, knives are not removed;
• power adjustment with a lever on the body.

Rotary:

• high power;
• there is no vibration;
• removable knives can be sharpened or replaced;
• not cheap.

Men's haircuts for short hair will be much easier to perform, knowing some of the nuances when choosing a machine:

• it is more comfortable to cut without a wire;
• hands quickly get tired from a heavy machine;
• several nozzles are preferable than one fixed;
• self-sharpening knives are ideal;
• switching power will allow you to better work out problem areas.

Hair dryer is used for drying and styling hair.

A hairdryer is more optimal in work. A professional hairdryer has a power of 1500 W, a long cord, nozzles.

Hair clippers:

• peignoir (cape to protect skin and clothing);
• spray (for wetting hair);
• clamps (division into cutting zones).

Perhaps this is quite enough. You can start.
