Best trends in men's haircuts in 2019

In 2018, we trended toward a more natural, unruly finish to our hair, and that trend is here to stay as we look for styles that are easier to style, have more growth, and don't require high maintenance. It is expected that this will continue.

So, here's everything you need to know about the men's haircuts expected to be popular in 2019 and how to achieve them.

buzz crew

One of the biggest late-summer trends, the buzz crew will continue to be a popular style for men looking for a shorter trim in 2019.

It is slightly longer than a buzz cut and slightly shorter than a crew cut. You can keep the sides as short as you like and the top long enough to comb through your fingers to add texture and give it a messy “stretched buzz” look. This haircut is not meant to look perfect and won't give you much shape. This means that the longer your hair grows, the longer it will last.

What's the best thing about this style? It doesn't require any serious styling at all. It's short enough that you can get out of bed with your hair in the desired position. If you feel the need to style your hair as it grows up, use just a little bit of a matte-finishing product like: Legal Gentleman Matt Clay For a natural look.

curly/wavy faded undercut

This could be your favorite haircut trend of 2019! A hairstyle for men with wavy and curly hair that doesn't get much attention when it comes to haircut trends.

However, to rock this style, wear natural curls at the top and push them down slightly as a fringe. Next, shorten the sides (often to a skin fade, but you don't have to). The sides should be worn with an undercut, but not as dramatic as a Brad Pitt Fury style undercut, it should fade to some extent and leave a very slight cut.

To style, use a pre-styler like this: Regal Gentleman Salt Spray (Coming soon) After texturing, finish with a leave-in conditioner or curl enhancer to give your curls the moisture they need to prevent frizz.

Natural top with little fading on the sides

This haircut is all about letting the top of your hair do what it naturally wants. To achieve this style, wear tops with messy, natural textures.

Then shorten the sides with a low or mid fade to bring an element of style to your messy top. Avoid increasing the fade level too much to maintain a natural soft look.

Do not over style with this haircut. Use only a small amount of products such as: Legal Gentleman Matt Clay Or paste to add texture and hold. To achieve a more natural look, you want something that is not shiny and can be reworked.

messy pompadour

Emerging from the sleepy days, the punk rock-inspired messy pompadour style is back in style.

To rock this style, keep the sides short, leaving just two or three hairs on the back and sides, or cut with scissors for a more unique look.

But the main part of this haircut is the top. For a more messy look, leave this at least 3-4 inches longer and give it a heavy texture all over (especially the fringe).

To style, use a little less shine product, such as: Legal Gentleman Texture Paste (coming soon). If you want even more hold, you can finish with a little hairspray. You don't want your hair to be completely matte, you want it to have some roughness and texture.

textured fringe

In the past year or two, fringes have often been blunted or cut into large slits, but now they're coming back with more natural variations.

Expect to see more fringe textured and pushed down, especially with Tommy Shelby and the Peaky Blinders returning to our screens this year.

Pair a textured fringe with a low to medium fade on the back and sides for a softer, less harsh look. To style, use a pre-styler like this: Regal Gentleman Salt Spray (coming soon) After drying wet hair with a hair dryer, Legal Gentleman Matt Clay.

soft side parting

Side parting never goes out of style and is a classic style that most men have tried at least once.

For a while, we've seen a lot of combinations of high skin fades and hard parts, but in 2019 we expect the side parting to return to the classic shape of the '30s and '40s, but without the high shine finish.

Keep the sides long and add numbers 1-3 on the back and sides or cut with scissors to increase the length of the fringe. It becomes shorter towards the top of the head. Adding texture to your hair gives it a more natural, smooth finish, making it easier to style and requiring less maintenance. The parting will no longer be as clearly defined as before, and will only be slightly separated at the natural parting point of your hair.

Use a paste like Regal Gentleman Texture Paste (Coming Soon – Get Exclusive Access Now)it has a lower shine, but it's not the glossy finish you'd expect from a pomade. Hair does not have to be smooth and precise, it can also be worn a little messy. We want this haircut to look very natural and keep the natural texture of the hair intact.

Crew cut with high and tight texture

It's not too far off from the “Buzz Crew”, but the main difference is that the top is slightly longer, making it a little easier to play with.

The sides are made super high and tight, similar to military brother styles, and are often combined with skin or zero fade. The texture of the top is heavy and makes styling in the morning super easy.

To style, use a bit of a matte finish product, such as: Legal Gentleman Matt Clay. You want the top to look natural for a barely styled look.

Medium length classic scissor cut

Short and long extreme styles have been popular in recent years, and while they're never out of fashion, the classic medium-length scissor cut has taken a bit of a backseat in many men's hearts. But now, medium-length cuts are making a rapid comeback!

This one does away with short, tight fades on the back and sides and has a scissor cut all over for a more natural effect. This is all about adjusting the haircut to your face shape.

To style, use a pre-styler like this: Regal Gentleman Salt Spray (coming soon) Apply to wet hair, then finish with a low shine product. Like Legal Gentleman Paste (also coming soon) For extra hold. With this style, you want to keep a natural, classic look that can be pushed back all day long.

What will men's hairstyles look like in 2019?

The bottom part fades. Overall, you can expect to see less fade in the highs and harsh skins, and more soft fades in the lows and mids.

A more personalized haircut. With barbers sharing more knowledge than ever before and men starting to care more about who their barber is, it's no longer just a “one size fits all” generic haircut, but a hair, face shape. , we expect to see more personalized haircuts tailored to your needs. approach.

Natural finish. The trend of natural, messy finishes with an element of style, compared to stylish polished looks, looks like it's going to continue for the foreseeable future, with more people looking for something that's easy to style and isn't overly finished. I am. That means more salt sprays, clays, and pastes and less gels, waxes, and high-shine pomades for the foreseeable future.

Versatile styles. Many of us get tired of styles quickly, so we're hoping to see styles come out that can be worn multiple ways and focus on how the style grows, increasing the variety of what you can do with your hair. They require regular maintenance, such as side parting on hard parts, as opposed to styles that are cut to a specific shape that cannot be changed.
