Short hairstyles are a staple of men’s fashion, seeing as it doesn’t require a lot of maintenance and is almost always on trend. However, styling short hair has become somewhat of an art form, and you need to choose the right style. When it comes to choosing your short hairstyle, a lot of the current trends surround fading. This means a style that is maintaining the corners and building the weight along the curve of the head to keep a masculine look and feel.
Short hairstyles to consider in 2018:
- Crop and Hair Tattoo– On top, the hair is styled into a popular crop, whilst a drop fade leads into a hair tattoo with multiple fades.
- Spiky Crop – This style combines a forward fringe of the forehead, textured spikes and high fade.
- Heavy Crop for Thick Hair – Hair is left full on top and layered to enhance texture with a drop fade.
- Short Sweep Back– This type of cut thins out thick hair while keeping the appearance of fullness.
- Comb Over Fade – This cut styles hair to one side with plenty of height.
- Buzz Fade and Lineup – This cut requires no styling, but might need salon trips to keep it neat and tidy.
