What Is a Blowout Haircut for Men with Curly Hair? (And why does it work so well)

The blowout, sometimes called a “Brooklyn fade” or “temple fade,” features a close skin fade around the temples and neckline while leaving volume at the top. For curly hair, it helps lift the curls naturally while tapering the sides for a cleaner finish.

Barbers at Barber Industries Kellyville recommend the style for clients who want to keep their natural texture front and centre without going too short overall. It's a perfect match for curly-haired men who want both flair and function.

Why the Blowout Is Trending in 2025

One key reason this style has seen a resurgence? Personalisation.

Curly-haired clients are now seeking barbers who don’t just cut, but sculpt. And the blowout provides that kind of artistry. It works beautifully on tight coils, looser curls, and wavy textures alike, making it ideal for:

Barbers are also pairing blowouts with fade haircut elements like skin fades, burst fades, or even low tapers, creating endless styling combinations.

5 Blowout Styles That Are Perfect for Curly Hair

Let’s look at the five most in-demand curly blowout hairstyles seen across Australian barbershops this year.

1. Temple Fade Blowout with Volume

A classic. The hair is cut short and skin-faded around the temples, while the curls on top are left longer and slightly shaped upward for bounce. This look is effortless yet striking, especially when styled with curl-enhancing creams.

Great for: Round or oval face shapes
Add-on tip: Pair with a taper at the back to avoid bulkiness.

2. Low Taper Fade With Blowout

The low taper fade subtly transitions the curls into the skin near the ears and neckline. Combine it with a line design or shaved part for that added street-style edge. This cut has become popular among teens and young men who want something school-appropriate yet bold.

The 'low taper fade' differs from the 'low taper' in that the 'taper fade' is a shorter cut, it blends to the skin above the natural hairline, shifting the hairline above it's natural position.

‍

3. Mid Taper Fade With Blowout

This one is your classic afro 'temp fade' or 'Brooklyn fade', where the fade at the temple is cut a little higher up - a mid taper fade with blowout. Note the boxed up fringe is very typical with this hairstyle too. An epic hairstyle for men with afro hair.

Ideal for: Men with thick, Type 4 curls

‍

4. Low Fade With Blowout

Next we have a low fade with blow out and with this haircut the fade is cut all the way around the head and above the ears as well as the temples and nape of the neck. Another great style for curly or afro hair.

‍

5. Blowout Taper With Pattern

For men with a wider head shape or thick, dense curls, a burst fade blowout gives better contouring around the ears and neckline. This cut has been trending on social media and is ideal for gym-goers and athletes who prefer low-maintenance yet stylish haircuts. The addition of a pattern cut into the taper is a very cool and trendy development and a haircut that is particularly popular for young men with curly hair.

Styling Tips For Men's Blowout Hairstyles

A great blowout starts with the right aftercare. To keep your curls in shape:

• Use a sulphate-free curl cleanser twice a week
• Apply a leave-in conditioner or curl cream while damp
• Dry using a diffuser or air dry, never rub with a towel
• Revisit your barber every 2–3 weeks for a fade touch-up

At Barber Industries Kellyville, our barbers recommend using lightweight curl mousse or gel for defining top curls and a small amount of pomade around the fade edges for sharpness.

Shop with us at Barber Industries Fashion Spree for the best barbershop exclusive products and top notch advice too.

Our best piece of advice would be to talk to the barber when purchasing because each product is applied differently and provides different results.

To style the longer curls you won’t be looking for a typical pomade like other blokes, you'll be wanting a foam, styling powder, grooming spray or sea salt spray instead - a product that can accentuate your curls while helping to tame and control.

‍

For a true blowout hairstyle, you'll need to use a blow dryer to 'blow out', but sometimes towel drying and scrunching provides better results, it all depends on the hair type and the desired look.

Either way use a pre-styler like American Crew Prep & Prime Tonic and apply onto damp (not wet) hair and then scrunch or blowdry to give your curls definition. Another great product option is American Crew Matte Spray Clay, which is applied using the same method.

‍

What About Afro?

For afro hair, use a wide toothed comb or afro pick to remove knots and then a foam brush to shape up your style.

Why Curly Blowouts Are a Great Option for Aussie Summers

Australian summers can be harsh, especially for those with thick or textured hair. A blowout with a fade allows better scalp airflow, sweat control, and a more lightweight feel. The cut also holds up well against humidity compared to longer hairstyles.

If you're living in Western Sydney, a curly blowout gives you the flexibility to look sharp at both weekend barbecues and weekday meetings.
