Cool Men's Hairstyles To Try

Most of us do not get into experiments when it comes to hairstyles, and for good reason – a bad hairstyle can break an outfit just as easily as a good hairstyle can make it. And when hair itself is such an important part of your look, why would you take the risk of going wrong with it? 

We can tell you why. Because it is the only way of reinventing your image, if you are looking to do that, and it is the only way of finding a combination of styles that bring out charm and personality.

In fact, finding a hairstyle that you love and that suits you can give an immense boost to your self-confidence. It can make you feel more comfortable in yourself, which can positively impact your overall mood and interactions with others.

So in this list, we have curated a list of hairstyles that are unique, inventive and not so experimental that you have to fear going completely wrong with them

Cool Men's Hairstyles

If you would like to experiment with something a bolder, then you can go for a pompadour with shaved sides.

The pompadour has been often understood as one of the most flamboyant hairstyles out there, and that flamboyance is what it gives it its individualistic appeal.

With a pompadour, you have the added advantage of getting a lot of volume on your hair. In this case, you will have to keep the hair at the centre of your head considerably longer.

This particular look combines the pompadour with some structured but tousled waves at the front. In order to achieve this, you will have to use products with different densities and holds.

You can also add a few highlights at the front to help the texture of your hair stand out even more.

You can also try blending classic elegance with a bold, modern twist by adding the shaved sides which make the hairstyle more practical.

One of the safer experiments that you can conduct with your hairstyles is going for a mid-length quiff with a high fade.

This combines the volume of the quiff, with the convenience of the high fade. The sides make the look more modern, while the quiff retains the old-world charm.

And, going for this length allows for versatility in creating volume and texture while maintaining a manageable length. In order to make the quiff stand out by itself, you will have to focus on creating volume at the crown. 

The top of your head, where the quiff will be formed, would need to have a fairly good hold so that the quiff can last around the clock.

To lift the hair upwards and back, start styling with your fingertips and then go for a round brush while gently directing the sides back ever so slightly.

You can also go for a messier modern quiff, and slightly sweep the quiff to one side. This is a far more modern hairstyle, so make sure that you figure out more than one way to style it if you are styling it for more professional settings.

You can just comb the longer strands at the centre to one side, to create a comb over. This is what makes all of the hairstyles on this list so great – these are flexible enough to be made into other hairstyles.

So even if you are experimenting, you still have a way to make your hairstyle work. Just make sure that you leave the hair longer at the centre.

This also features a shaved side, which concentrates the volume at the top. You can also a few highlights at the top of the hair to give it even more texture.

Make sure that the highlights are lighter in colour so that the light can bounce off of it.

You can also go for a textured quiff. Creating a textured quiff involves styling your hair to achieve more volume, giving it more definition, and working a slightly tousled appearance.

This style is dynamic and suits various hair types, providing a modern and stylish look. You have to learn how to bring that volume, definition and tousled appearance individually.

First, get your stylist to advise you on the kind of hair product that you can use to give your hair more volume without it looking it stiff. A quiff should look it is flowing naturally.

You can go and give your quiff more definition with highlights, and by brushing your hair with a fine-toothed comb. Finally, work with your finger tips to bring about that tousled appearance.

The tousled waves will be at the very front of the hairstyle, so make sure that you do them well because they can make or break the look.

Alternatively, go for a pompadour with a high fade, and get your stylist to define the pompadour further with a shaved line on the side.

Achieving a smooth transition from the fade to the longer hair on top is the key here. So take your time to blend the different lengths seamlessly, and coordinate with your stylist in every step of the way.

This is one of the more experimental hairstyles on this list, but if you can pull it off, it will give you a lot of confidence.

The pompadour by itself will require some dedication from your end, because getting the pompadour would mean that you would have to use more product on your hair – and subsequently, clean that product off of your hair so that you can avoid build-up.

If you would like to tone down the experimentation and go for something more classic, we would recommend going for something like this. This retains the charm and volume of the pompadour, but it is not as flamboyant.

This is the kind of hairstyle that combines classic elegance with a modern twist. This is especially great if you have thick, wavy hair. You will have to keep your very well-conditioned to work this style out.

Your hair needs to look like it has a lot of volume organically for this hairstyle to work for you.

You can also add a slightly longer stubble to really bring out the mature charm of a hairstyle like this.

Add highlights in a color close to your natural hair color to get your hair more texture.

If you really want to commit to an even greater degree of experimentation, especially if you are looking to radically alter your overall appearance – we would recommend going for a different hair color.

Something like this will work the best if you go for a color that is radically different from your natural hair color. This contrast can bring out your hairstyle, and your complexion by contrasting with it.

To get something like this, we recommend starting with some hair care appointments to make sure that your hair can handle the change that it is going to go through.

The stylist will probably bleach your hair before this, so make sure you consult them on how to maintain your hair and care for it after the procedure.

You can also keep a beard with a hairstyle like this. The contrasting color can look really great if you can carry it well.
