Haircut Style Blog Archives

As a young man, choosing a haircut  can be difficult. The good news is, there are plenty of great haircut styles for young men that strike the perfect balance between cool and classy. If you’re looking for fresh new haircut ideas, Therapy Hair Studio is here to help. We’ve put together a list of six popular haircuts for young men that are sure to give you the look you desire. 

1. Buzz Cut

Also known as a wiffle cut, this hairstyle involves cutting your hair as close to the scalp as possible. Generally, a buzz cut is a kind of haircut that is achievable without scissors. Instead, we use clippers to shave your hair down to a uniform length all around your head.

Buzz cuts are also traditional military hairstyles for men, possibly because you can easily achieve and maintain them. It’s the perfect low-maintenance style for those who do not want to spend a lot of time styling their hair each day. If you have an active lifestyle or play sports often, this is also a good choice as it will prevent the possibility of having any hair in your face. 

2. Crew Cut Fade

Like buzz cuts, crew cuts are classic military styles that have been around for decades. What separates crew cuts from buzz cuts is the tapering effect in the back and the sides, which is what we call a fade. We achieve this effect by cutting hair closer and closer to the scalp as we go down the sides and the back of your head, making your hair look gradually fuller on top.

This hairstyle is also compatible with pretty much every face shape. However, round face shapes are especially great for the crew cut fade style as they can make your face look more angular. This haircut is also ideal in that it will help keep your hair more manageable.

3. Undercut Fade

This haircut incorporates the fade with the undercut. For this style,  we leave the hair on top longer while we clip the sides and back shorter. As a result, the hair on top stands out more in contrast to the shorter sides. Undercut fades can be low or mid. Low fades are when your hair is the shortest around the hairline, while mid fades are a few inches higher.

Undercut fades are great choices for those who want a more dramatic look. Having longer hair on the top of your head, provides more room for you to play around and style your hair. Even if you prefer not to style your hair too much, simply combing it back provides a relaxed yet sharp look.

4. Taper Fade Haircut

Tapers and fades are different hairstyles. If you ask for a taper fade from your barber, you probably mean a taper alone. It is understandably confusing since both hairstyles are gradient cuts that involve gradually shortening the hair toward the bottom of your head’s sides and back.

Taper haircuts do not go as short as fades do. The longest hair would still be around an inch or two above your ears, while the shortest would be near your hairline. Tapered hair also appears more blended than a fade. Consider speaking with a hair specialist to identify the “taper fade” style that you are looking to achieve.

5. Flow Haircut

Flow haircuts are for those who prefer to keep their long hair but want to sustain a manageable hairstyle. This style is popular among skateboarding and surfing communities, where their hair flows with the nature of their favorite hobbies. Getting a flow haircut is also a great way to embrace your natural hair by keeping it long or mid-length. 

6. Men’s Quiff Hairstyle

This ambitious hairstyle combines different decades of men’s hairstyles. While it can take time to maintain, the final product is worth it. The quiff hairstyle starts with short sides and back, and gradually gets longer toward the front. With more vertical volume, it looks like a modern pompadour hairstyle.

Updos for Long Hair

The French Twist

The French twist is a classic updo that is perfect for any occasion. To get this look, begin applying a texturizing spray to your hair to give it some grip. Next, take a small portion of your hair from the front of your head and twist it back towards the rest of your hair. 

Once you reach the back of your head, continue twisting the hair until it forms a rope-like shape. Next, you’ll want to take the rest of your hair and twist it around the rope-like shape you’ve just created. Once you have twisted all of your hair, secure it in place with bobby pins. Finish off the look by spraying some hairspray on your hair to keep everything in place.

The Chignon

The chignon is another classic updo that has been around for centuries. For this look, you should begin by gathering your hair and tying it in a low ponytail. If you have short hair, you can use a small piece of velcro to secure the ponytail. 

Next, take a small section of hair from the ponytail and twirl it around the base of the ponytail to create a small bun. Secure the bun with bobby pins. and then take the remaining hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the bun. Secure the hair with more bobby pins and then mist the entire updo with a light-hold hairspray.

Updos for Short Hair

Floral Braids

Floral braids are a great style for short hair! This updo is perfect for any special occasion, whether it’s a wedding or a prom. To create this look, start by dividing your hair into three sections. Braid each section of hair and then secure it with an elastic. Next, take small pieces of hair from the bottom of every braid and then twirl them around the elastic to make a flower shape. Secure each braid with bobby pins and you’re all set!

Easy Half-Up

The half-up is a great option for those who want to keep their hair down while still having an elevated styled look. To achieve an easy half-up, start by gathering part of your hair from the crown of your head. If you have layers, make sure to grab all of the hair from each layer, so none is left out. 

Once you have a good amount of hair gathered, use an elastic to tie it back, leaving the rest of your hair down. You can leave the half-up as is, or you can add some loose curls for a more romantic look.

Updos for Curly Hair

Curly Updo With a Twist

If you have curly hair, then this updo is perfect for you! To create this look, start by dividing your hair into two sections. Take the first section of hair and twist it back, securing it with a bobby pin. Next, take the second section of hair and twist it around the first section. Once you have twisted both sections together, secure them with another bobby pin. Finally, use your fingers to loosen up the twists and give your hair some volume.

Curly Updo With a Braid

Another great updo for curly hair is the curly updo with a braid. To perfect this look, you should first spray your hair with a heat protectant. Then, using a large barrel curling iron, you can start curling your hair by section. 

Once you have curled your hair, make a low ponytail and then secure it with a hair tie. Next, take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to create a “bump.” Finally, take the remaining hair and create a loose braid. Secure the end of the braid with another elastic, and then you can wrap the ponytail with it. 

Updos for Weddings

Messy Buns

One of the best updos for weddings is the messy bun. The messy bun is perfect for the bride who wants to wear her hair up but doesn’t want it to look too polished. The key to a good messy bun is to make sure that it’s not too tight and that there are some loose pieces around the face.

Fancy Loop Updo

Another good updo for a wedding is the Fancy Loop Updo. This updo looks best on those with long, curly hair. First, curl your hair using large rollers. Next, brush it out and mist it with hairspray. Then, make a low ponytail out of your hair and use an elastic band to secure it. Make a loop with the ponytail and pin it in place. Finally, take small sections of hair and wrap them around the base of the ponytail to create a more polished look.
