THE TIPS & TRICKS OF BETTER SHORT HAIRSTYLES FOR MEN

July 10, 2022

Short hair makes up the lions share of men’s hairstyles and that is why we have decided to do an article with some tips and tricks on better short hairstyles for men. Short hairstyles are easy to maintain and are generally easy to style but that doesn’t mean they are mundane. Read on as we outline several ways you can make every strand and follicle work to your benefit.

Man With Short Textured Hairstyle

Yes, the majority of men opt for a short hairstyle but there are ways to stand out in the crowd and ways to ensure that you remain at the stylish end of the spectrum, here’s some pointers.


Add Some Texture

One of the most simplest ways to add some additional flare to a basic style is to incorporate some texture. To utilise texture to its fullest potential, ask your barber to add texture when discussing your desired hairstyle. This can be achieved by cutting in choppy or feathered layers. 

More texture means more movement and this can be best achieved with the aid of a sea salt spray or texturising powder when styling. Pick these up from the product shelf here in the barbershop.

Opt For A Skin Fade

A nice taper will work well in many short hairstyles for men but if you want to add that extra dynamism then opt in for a skin fade on your next trip to the barbershop. A skin fade compliments just about any short hairstyle and will serve you well when trying to stand out from the crowd.

Work With Your Features

A common mistake is to try and wear a look that doesn’t suit your features. If your hair is thinning or balding for example, go for a short crop, buzz cut or shave your head entirely. This will minimise the evidence of hair loss and can help you to gracefully remain stylish.


Use High Quality Products

Avoid the cheap and nasty styling products that you find at the supermarket, because you’ll only get what you pay for and nasty isn’t good for your scalp or your style. Opt instead for barbershop only brands and the advise that comes from the barber when purchasing. High quality men’s hair products will help you recreate that barbershop styled look at home every day, they will ensure that your grooming routine is one you can trust and rely on.
