1. Side gradual fade short hairstyle

If you are the kind of person who likes the minimalistic hair style that requires less maintenance, and if you are looking for something that you can wear in professional settings as well as casual outings, we would be highly recommend getting a side gradual fade short hairstyle. 

Short hairstyles are very easy to maintain but if you crop your hair as short as in the picture here, the maintenance required will be really low. 

Also, you will save a lot on products because you would not have to apply as much to style your hair in the way that you want to. Just invest in a good, light gel, and you are sorted.

This is a really flexible hairstyle when it comes to a beard, so you can go clean shaven, or with a light stubble, or even with something slightly longer if you like.

2. Crew cut haircuts with beard

There is a reason why athletes favor the crew cut hairstyle so much.  It is incredibly easy to maintain, because it requires little to no product and can look great even with a fairly minimalistic washing routine. 

It is also a really convenient hairstyle to have if you are the kind of person who moves around a lot. The only thing with it is that you have to go to your stylist regularly for trains to maintain the crew cut. 

It is a fairly easy haircut to style, no matter the kind of outfit that you are going for. And if you are a working professional looking for something with very low effort, we would recommend this hairstyle to you. 

Crew cuts look really great with a beard, so you can add a heavier stubble to give your look an edge. However, make sure that you condition both your hair and your beard to allow this look to make its full impact.

3. High fade short haircut

You can also go for a high fade short haircut,  especially if you like low maintenance haircut that can also pull a punch. 

To get this haircut right, you will have to discuss the kind of gradation that you are looking for with your hair stylist. Because this hairstyle is really short at the centre and then fades at the sides, the gradation here is not very stark. 

To maintain that kind of gradation, you may have to make regular visits to your stylist,  depending on the face at which your hair grows. Also, make sure  that you keep your hair conditioned. 

If you have a very flaky scalp, the shorter hair will very easily reveal the flakes. So, go for regular washes at the salon and dry your hair with a microfiber towel, to make sure that it does not look too rough.

4. Side-part short haircut

You can also go for a side part short haircut. This is also a classic haircut, that has been sported by professionals across decades. 

It is fairly easy to maintain, and it is versatile enough to go with multiple kinds of outfits. 

You can ask your stylist to leave your hair slightly longer at the front, so that you can gently brush It back like in the hairstyle in this picture. 

But make sure that you do not go overboard with that length, otherwise the transition will not be seamless. 

This hairstyle is both edgy and retro,  so when you style it personally keep those two aspects in mind.

Make sure that you do not make your hair look heavy with waxes or pomades. And trim your hair regularly to maintain its neatness.

5. Side-part fade short hairstyle

The other way to make a side part hairstyle work, is to add a fade to it. This adds the modernistic charm of the fade to the retro charm of the side parting.

But because you are introducing a fade, it will require more maintenance than the previous hairstyle. 

One, you would have to make regular visits to your stylist to keep the fade intact. Because the volume of your hair is concentrated on the centre, you will have to pay attention to making the texture of it look really good. 

Even then, this is a comparatively easier hairstyle to sport -  it is chic,  comfortable and really functional. 

You can also add a slight stubble to it to add on to the edge.  But skip the facial hair if you want to principally focus on the neatness of the look.

6. Low fade long spike hairstyle

If you are the kind of person who wants more edge in their hairstyle, we recommend going for a low fade along with long spikes.

Not only is this hairstyle really edgy, its charm is very organic. In fact, compared to other hairstyles that afford a similar kind of charm, this is slightly easier to maintain. What you need to do here is pay attention to the spikes.

Because the spikes are longer here, you need to invest in a product that will hold them despite the length.

You do not want your spikes flopping down. You can invest on a pomade  for this look,  but bear in mind that that kind of heavy product is difficult to wash off,  so you will need to pay attention to rinsing the product off of your hair. 

This kind of hairstyle looks great with a stubble, so go ahead and add that if you are comfortable with it.

7. Short sleek back hairstyle

For those of you who enjoy a sleek hairstyle you can also style short hair to look really sleek. 

While you have to use a generous amount of product to make your hair look this sleek, it becomes really convenient to carry your hair around the day - particularly if you are in the kind of profession where you have to move around a lot.

There is a retro, elegant charm to this look, and it makes it really easy to style whichever outfit you are going for because it goes with everything. The only thing that you have to keep in mind here, is that because you are using a lot of product to keep your hair sleek - your hair is also that much likely to collect more dust as you move around the day.

So you will have to wash your hair thoroughly and frequently,  so that you can avoid  build-up.

8. Side and back fade short haircut

The other way to style short hair, is to introduce a fade on both the sides and the back.

Again, this hairstyle is generally easy to maintain. This is a really contemporary look, but it also combines some retro elegance with the contemporary nature of it.

The volume and texture of this hair is mainly concentrated on the top, so whatever product that you will be using will be used in that section of your hair. This is also a really versatile hairstyle because it compliments range of outfits. 

You can also wear it very easily to both professional and casual settings. In order to give yourself more volume at the top, you can ask your stylist to leave the hair slightly longer at the front, so that you can gently comb your hair backwards at the front to give it more edge.

9. High fade medium spike hairstyle

If you want to combine a boyish charm with more mature, grunge look, we recommend you go for a high fade medium spike hairstyle. 

You can dial up the grunge by styling your beard accordingly. The best thing about this hairstyle is that you are not going for a full-fledged spike.

Instead, you're going for a spike that is much more manageable, and one that suits of vast range of ages.

So despite the fact that it does add a boyish charm, you do not have to worry about looking immature with it.

What you want with this kind of hairstyle, is to make an impact without very obviously asking for attention.

So make sure that you don't overuse the products. Instead, stick to using them to style the spikes, and make sure that you keep your hair well-conditioned overall.

10. High fade small spike haircut

Alternatively, you can also go for a high fade small spike haircut. This is for those who do not want the spikes to be too pronounced and want the look to be more matured. 

Smaller spikes require even lesser product, so that is a huge advantage of this look. However, in order to make sure that your spikes remain small you will have to visit your stylist pretty regularly. 

One other advantage of this hairstyle, is that because of the high fade, your look will have a very organic edge to it. This look has been very popular from fashion magazines, to street style looks to professional settings. 

If you want the spikes at the centre to have more texture, you can add some gentle highlights to it to draw more attention to them.

Also, because you are going for smaller spikes make sure that you use products in lesser amounts.

11. High fade top messy spike hairstyle

For the last style of this list, we are experimenting with something a little messier. By making the spikes at the centre messier, you will draw more attention to the texture of your hair.

But with the high fade you are adding an obvious, stark contrast to your hairstyle - which means that there will be a lot of attention on the overall look of your hair. 

The contrasting elements is what makes this look so special.  It is easier to carry this look in more casual outings, but if you do not feel comfortable wearing messier spikes to a professional setting, you can always style your spikes in a more conventional manner. 

As always, with messier spikes, it is better to style with your fingers with very little product. 

Never go in with a lot of product at the beginning. See how your hair fares with small amounts of product, before you add more.
