As we work our way toward spending more time out in the world as summer comes along, it is an opportunity to try a new hairstyle. So, what are the men’s hair trends for 2025? Overall, we’re seeing lots of texture and bold contrasts, low-maintenance cuts, and, of course, everything old is new again as stylists try modern approaches to classic cuts. There seems to be a big emphasis on individuality and customizing a style to fit the hair type or face shape.
Top Hair Trends To Consider
Low-Maintenance
It is always an easy and popular win to go with a haircut that is easy to style and maintain. Variations on this include the easiest of all, the buzz cut with varying degrees and sharpness of fade. The buzz cut is a look that is as timeless as it is low-maintenance, it offers a clean, no-fuss appearance.
For the guys with long hair, it does not get much simpler than the relaxed man bun. It provides a functional approach that is appealing and manageable. It keeps the hair back and out of the way, and the effortlessness of the look adds to the charm of it. Just make sure not to overdo it and pull your man bun too tight.
Modern Spins on Classic Styles
The Wolf Cut may very well be the modern successor to the mullet. It is less about the party in the back—with its well-groomed sides and back—and more about embracing texture and style on top. The Wolf Cut even has variations such as the Curly Wolf Cut, Textured Wolf Cut, Layered Wolf Cut, and Korean Wolf Cut, to name a few.
The Modern Pompadour doesn’t reach the same literal hair heights as its classic variation but still maintains the tight sides and high front that make the style so cool. The goal is to use a mixture of blow-drying while brushing and a light-hold hairspray to give it a textured feel but less structured than the cast of Grease would sport.
Bold Contrasts
There is also a lean toward natural, messy styles. It seems men are steering away from overly stiff and over-engineered looks. People take these messy styles and apply an undercut or high fade to make the look pop. Consider the sophisticated and powerful samurai bun or Viking topknots and how well they pair with a fade or undercut.
The undercut fade is, obviously, a fusion between a fade and undercut that features a high degree of contrast between longer hair on the top of the head and closely shaved sides. It is a great cut for men who prefer a bold and trendy look. Meanwhile, a curly undercut is a great way for men with natural curls to embrace the volume of their curls while keeping the sides short.
Embrace the Mess
Natural, messy, and textured styles are on the rise in 2025. Haircuts that show off a hair’s volume and movement are what people are into this year. Textured crops and shaggy layers are proving more popular than overly stiff, “manufactured” looks. With short sides and a slightly longer look on top, a textured crop remains a favorite for being versatile and low maintenance.
This is a shift toward making hairstyles look more relaxed and effortless regardless of whether a man’s hair is straight, wavy, or curly. People enjoy looking stylish without looking like they had to try too hard to get there.
