When it comes to haircuts and styles, the trends continually evolve at warp speed. While some cuts remain evergreen, some fade out into oblivion, and others make a comeback for the good. When it comes to men, depending on the hair texture, length, and lifestyle, there are plenty of options to explore this year. Award-winning hairdresser, Jim Shaw takes us through the hairstyling trends for men in 2024.
Tight Fade
For the upcoming season, a tight fade is perfect for men looking for a clean-looking haircut. With totally shaved or super-short sides, this haircut looks the best. One can add more length on the top, however, keeping it relatively shorter to achieve a low-maintenance look. With proper upkeep of this look required through regular salon visits, one can maintain its freshness and keep it looking top-notch. Inspired by the military, this cut is a highly sought-after trend at the moment.
Buzz Cut
Already in trend for quite some time, the buzz cut is here to stay. For all those who wish to reset their hair and are feeling adventurous, a buzz cut is a great choice. Though a simple cut, it is a cool, clean, and low-maintenance cut. Those who wish to stand out from the crowd can also pair it with bold colours like neons.
Curtains
Curtains have made a comeback this year. However, they have made a deviation from the traditional smooth and sleek wear. In the contemporary take, we are likely to see curtains being paired with a lot of waves and textures. Amongst the many celebrities sporting curtains, Timothee Chalamet is someone who wears this look incredibly well.
Mullets
As we are stepping into the spring and summer season, mullets is one of the booming hairstyling trends for men in 2024. And, now we see them with the modern versions of the same. We also can see several celebs sporting the mullet these days. For this year’s spring, mullet will be common with its signature length at the back. However, the sides are likely to remain short. The whole look will now appear a lot softer with the introduction of textures at the top.
Partings – both side and middle partings
Without adding a dramatic edge, a parting can help men change their look. A middle or a side parting, are both good choices and they have made a welcoming comeback this year. Side parting is a great option for anyone who seeks to add volume to their hair. It also makes for a formal and sophisticated hairstyle. On the other hand, middle parting looks good with all hair types, be it textured, curly, or even straight. It is a simple yet effective way to enhance one’s look. Both these partings have been uber-prominent on runways and red carpets. They will be around till the autumn-winter season of 2024.
