10 Professional Hairstyles For Men
Simple Side Part
For this first hairstyle you would need to create a neat side parting for your hair. You will need to keep some volume on either side, so go for a medium length hair.
Also, you will need to introduce some bounce to your hair to increase its volume so choose products like that accordingly.
Side-parted hair is one of the best ways to make sure that you look professional and fashionable at the same time without making your look too loud.
To get the best out of this hairstyle, make sure that the side parting is consistent and best suited to the cut of your own face.
You will also need to keep your hair really well conditioned to make sure that it has a very natural organic gloss.
Simple Spike Hairstyle For Men
If you like shorter hair, you can also go for a really short crop like the one here. the thing with having this hairstyle by itself is that it may be a little too plain for your liking. In that case, you can introduce some variation to it by adding a touch of highlights to the central crop of hair.
If you are going for a professional look, make sure that the highlight is not too contrasting with the natural color of your hair.
To keep this look neat and sorted you will also need to make regular visits to your hair stylist.
One of the major advantages of a look like this is that you do not need to use too much product to make this look impactful. All you need to do is to keep your hair clean and detangled, and you are sorted.
Medium Side Part Hairstyle
If you feel like you can manage longer hair, this might be the hairstyle for you. This hairstyle is especially great for those who have naturally wavy hair.
To get this hairstyle you will have to wait to have your hair grow to a longer length, and then ask your stylist to cut it in a way that the volume is concentrated on the centre, such that you can also tousle the hair on one side, creating a neat and elegant wave at the front.
This is a really formal, yet fashionable look, and it is perfect for those who want to make an impact with their hair.
If you are the kind of person that does not enjoy putting in too much product in their hair, you might find this look a little difficult to manage, because you will need to use some kind of product to give your hair the bounce and hold that it requires throughout the day.
Tousled Side Part
If you want to go even longer than the previous hairstyle, we recommend going for something like this. One of the major advantages of a hairstyle like this one, is the kind of volume that it affords to your hair.
Of course, this look is not very easy to style - so you will require a degree of effort on the personal level to learn how to style your hair in this manner. But the effort is going to be worth it.
The main charm of this look lies in the tousled nature of the hair - which is principally what you are going to have to learn how to master. The other important aspect of this look is the subtle side parting, which adds to the glamour of the look.
With this look, you will need to keep your hair very clean and well-conditioned, because you will need a certain degree of bounce.
Side Fade Short Quiff Haircut
Another really impressive haircut is the classic quiff, combined with shorter sides. This is also a really professional hairstyle but does combine a degree of playfulness along with the professionalism.
Quiffs are easier to style than the wavier hair styles that we were talking about in the last two hairstyles, but there are certain tricks that you have to learn with them.
The first of those tricks is the amount of product that you will have to use to make your hair stand in this particular direction.
Because a quiff involves giving your hair more volume, styling it that way means that you have to play around with the natural texture and the bounce of your hair.
Consult your stylist on what kind of product can best add bounce to the texture of your hair, so that you can really enjoy the impact of a quiff.
Short Side Part
For those who really like their hair to look glossy, this might be the perfect hairstyle.
This hairstyle combines short side-swept hair, with short sides. There is a generous amount of product put into the hair in this case, so you will have to research a little on what kind of product works best with your hair.
We will highly recommend avoiding heavier products because those are more difficult to wash off from your hair, but if you absolutely cannot do without them - make sure that you have a dedicated shampoo routine, to protect your hair from build-up.
While you want your hair to look glossy you do not want it to look greasy. That, in particular, is the balance that you are looking to strike here.
Side Swept Spikes
You will very often notice grooms sporting this form of a hairstyle. And the reason is pretty simple - this hairstyle is effortlessly charming, which is exactly what you would want for your wedding day.
Although this hair style looks effortless, there is some effort that goes into the styling of the slightly side-swept spikes.
To get your spikes style in this way, we recommend that you use a lighter product, so that the Spikes do not look heavy or weight down by the product that you are using.
You can also add lights to your hair to make the spike stand out even more. This hairstyle also introduces a low fade on the sides, which means that there will be even more attention towards the volume at the centre.
Make sure that you keep your hair clean and conditioned.
Short Textured Spikes
For those who like to embrace the natural texture of their hair, and have hair that is on the curlier side, this hairstyle with textured spikes might be the best way to go.
This hairstyle will be more difficult for you to style if your hair is not naturally curly or wavy, but if you have hair of that kind this hairstyle will come to you very naturally.
So, you will have to use very little product to get this hairstyle. also this is the kind of haircut that requires more personal maintenance then stylist's touch, so make sure that your hair is conditioned and clean.
Take small amounts of product in your hand, and style short length with your fingertips adding, more variation to the texture of your hair.
Side Fade Messy Spikes
You can also go for messier version of that previous look. This is the perfect look for those who want their hair to look effortless, but also want to introduce more and more texture into their hair.
Bear in mind that in order to make this look effortless, you will have to learn how to style your hair to control the natural chaos of it.
Those who have naturally curvy or wavy hair, will notice that their hair takes to this form when they cut it really short or when they are going for medium length hair.
So, you wouldn't have to put too much product into it in order to hold it in this style.
You can add a hint of colour with some streaks to add even more texture. And for this kind of a hairstyle it is best to style with your fingers instead of a comb, because you do not want the kind of neatness that a comb will bring to this hairstyle.
Slick Back Short
For those who do not like a messy hairstyle as much, it is best to go with a hairstyle like this one.
This is a classic side swept quiff with faded sides. This combines the classic charm of a quiz along with the beauty and minimalism of a faded side. For a hairstyle like this you will need to visit your stylist a little more regularly.
Also, despite the fact that it does involve a subtle side parting, this hairstyle does not really have the neatness of a proper side part. This subtlety is crucial to the charm of this particular hairstyle.
You will need some practice to introduce a kind of side parting that is not as neat, but once you get there, you will find that this hairstyle is particularly quick to do.
You can try to give the quiff its hold with a light styling product that does not weigh down the hair, and adds to its bounce instead.
