Part 1. What are the 10 Most Popular Short Hairstyles for Men

According to current trends, here are the 10 most popular good guy haircuts that are short and sweet.

1. Fade

This type of short hair for men features a clean gradient, with hair fading from short to shorter as it goes down the sides and back. There are low, mid, and high fades.

2. Undercut

This short hairstyle for younger men features shaved sides with longer hair on top. This offers a strong contrast, and you can experiment with different styles.

3. Pompadour

This is one of the short hairstyles that works great on men. It is characterized by voluminous hair swept upward and back. You can pair it with a fade or undercut for a modern twist.

4. Quiff

This is a typical guy's short haircut similar to the pompadour but more relaxed. The front is styled upward and backward, often with some texture and volume.

5. Buzz Cut

This is one of the more popular short hairstyles for young guys. It's very short, with an even length all over the head. The perk is, of course, low maintenance.

6. Crew Cut

Again, this is a typical guy's short haircut. It's short on the sides and slightly longer on the top. This one is military-inspired and, therefore, very easy to maintain.

7. French Crop

This haircut is easy, but it is more on the stylish side. It's usually with a short back and sides with bangs at the front. This can be a great curly short haircut for men who have curly hair.

8. Slicked Back

This men's short haircut features combed-back hair with a sleek, polished look. To emphasize the effect, people often use pomade or gel.

9. Textured Crop

This is one of the cool short hairstyles for young guys. It features short to medium-length hair with lots of texture and layers. It is usually messy and gives off a modern, edgy vibe.

10. Man Bun

This is not exactly a short hairstyle, but it is still very popular. Men with longer hair tie it into a bun at the back or top of the head. It looks like your hair is short, so it works for this list.
