Best Men’s Haircut Trends in 2025

Before you settle into your barber’s chair and ask for “the usual” again, take a sec to think. Does your current style still make you feel great? Does it actually suit your style?

81% of guys feel more confident in social settings after a fresh cut or beard trim. So, if you’ve been thinking about making a change, why not go for it?

This year’s hottest hairstyles are all about natural texture, retro vibes, and versatility. Whether you’re into sleek, Hollywood-inspired looks or something a little more playful and Gen Z-approved, 2025’s trends have something for everyone. From low-maintenance styles to bold, statement-making cuts, there’s no better time to refresh your look and make you feel more confident.

So let’s check out the latest men’s haircut trends and find the perfect one for you so next time you hit the barbershop, you’ll know exactly what to ask for. And for the barbers out there, get your tools ready because these cuts will be in high demand!

Mini mullet

This mini mullet is for the bold guys, musicians, artists, and risk-takers who love making a statement. Think tight, faded sides or a classic taper, with a little extra length at the back, approximately 1-2 inches past the natural hairline, and a textured, voluminous front. It’s the modern twist on a mullet, perfect for Gen-Z trendsetters, and it’s best suited for oval and heart-shaped faces. 

How to style it: After washing your hair, lightly towel-dry until damp and then spritz some sea salt spray, focusing on the top. Then use your fingers to scrunch and shape the hair as you blow-dry, bringing out its natural texture and volume. For the back, let the hair flow naturally without overworking it. If your hair is already dry, just work in some clay or texture powder for that easy, undone finish.

The side part

A fresh update to the classic 80/20 side part, think about Leonardo DiCaprio’s hairstyle. You can keep the sides faded, go for an undercut, or leave a bit more length. On the fuller side, you’re looking at 3 to 6 inches of hair. This haircut works best for square and oval faces. It’s definitely more posh but stylists are saying it has been turning heads on the runways of Paris and Milan this season. It’s perfect for professionals who want a stylish yet effortless look.

How to style it: For a sleek, more traditional finish, use pomade for that touch of shine.

The buzz cut

It’s simple, timeless, and always in style so you can never go wrong with it. The buzz cut is all about a uniform length somewhere between a #1 and #3 clipper guard paired with a high fade or even a fun dyed design. It’s a favorite among gym-goers, athletes, and military guys. It’s the best choice for guys who want to look sharp but with low maintenance. It suits oval and square faces and it’s not ideal for round faces because it makes them look even more round. 

How to style it: Styling? There’s nothing to do just to keep your scalp healthy. Plus, Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds are rocking this haircut, so if this is the right look for you, you’ll be in good company in 2025.

Medium-length curls

You know what they say: "Curls get the girls." The trend for men in 2025 is medium-length curls 4-6 inches on top with slightly shorter sides. This style is great for the go-to creatives, coffee shop guys, and laid-back artists. Best for oval, diamond, and heart-shaped faces. 

How to style it: The longer the curls, the more maintenance they need so invest in hair oil and styling cream to keep them defined and looking their best.

The flow

This one’s all about movement, volume, and texture. The flow sits at a solid 6-8 inches in length, usually tucked behind the ears for that effortlessly cool, yet polished vibe. It’s making a big comeback in 2025 especially mid-length, swept-back styles with softer edges. Works for just about anyone whether you’re in a suit or a creative field. This hairstyle is best suited for oval, square, or oblong faces. 

How to style it: Use a thickening spray around 3-4 spritzes for added volume and light hold, or go for sea salt spray to enhance waves and definition.

The greasy look 

2025 is bringing back that ’70s slicked-back John Travolta’s Grease vibe with a modern twist. This style keeps the hair long, around 4-6 inches with tapered sides, giving off a rebellious but refined look. Think of men in leather jackets and with bold fashion choices. It suits guys with square, diamond, and oval face shapes.

How to style it: Oil and pomade for that signature shine. Apply when your hair is damp for that natural, wet shine. That’s because if you apply it to dry hair, it may not be as shiny as you want. But if it’s already dry, create an emulsifier by mixing pomade with a little bit of water and apply it to your hair.

The TikTok cut

If someone says they want TikTok hair or a broccoli haircut, this is it. A heavy, textured top 3-5 inches, with faded or tapered sides for that perfect contrast. It’s all about that effortless, "I woke up like this" vibe, except it actually takes some work to style. This cut dominates online culture and is a go-to for Gen-Z trendsetters, gamers, and influencers. It works for oval, heart, and square faces. Hands down, one of the biggest trends of 2025.

How to style it: To style it, grab some texture powder, sprinkle a bit on top, then scrunch it in with your hands for that effortless, messy look. If you want more volume and definition, go for sea salt spray instead. The difference is that the sea salt adds a slight shine, while the powder keeps things matte for a more natural finish.

It’s effortlessly cool and super popular on Instagram and YouTube right now. Perfect for confident men who want to showcase their natural curls and celebrate the confidence they bring. 

How to style it: Use a little hair oil for definition and styling cream for a light hold, and then just scrunch your hair to give more definition to your natural curls.
