#1: Long Curly Hair with Side Part

Longer and tight curls need love more than any other hair texture. Thus, always find a product that provides intense moisture for your curls to prevent dryness.

Master your curly locks with the 3 P’s: Practice, Patience, and Product. Curls can sometimes have a mind of their own so this is where your patience and patience will come in. Don’t give up; just try again! Product is going to be a major factor. You want to make sure you use something that will help frizz, hydration, and shape. Ask your stylist or barber for suggestions on how to care for hairstyles for men with curly hair.
#3: Spiral Curly Hair with Front Pieces
Curls can come in many different shapes. This spiral curly hair with front pieces is a good example of curly hairstyles men love. It has been cut in a technique that we call short graduation. This means that the base of the neck is the shortest point and it gradually gets longer up to the fringe. Spiral curls do generally sit well naturally without any products. If you want to use anything then I would use some mousse or curling cream.
#4: Piece-y Curls and Side Taper Fade
Side taper fades are a quick and easy way to give you that “fresh cut” haircut for men with curly hair. It’s the smaller, fine details of a haircut that bring the whole look together. This is also a great technique if you’re looking to keep a good amount of your length.
#5: Low Fade and Sharp Line-Up on Black Hair
A low taper fade is a perfect option for a guy who wants to keep a lot of their length. If you have facial hair, this option can be blended into your beard line. It will create a flawless flow between your beard and haircut. If you are seeing a barber, ask them to use a straight razor to give you the crispiest, cleanest line up.
#6: Mini Quiff on Curled Hair
Accentuate your curls by keeping length on top and fading the sides! A low bald fade will bring an edginess to your cut that will also draw attention to the softer length on top. Make your curls pop by finishing with a shiny pomade.
#7: Layered Cut with Waves and Curls
A layered cut with waves and curls shows that looser curls can be kept under control and frizz kept at bay. This style has been cut to one length with a little more at the base of the neck. And, some layers have been cut into it to give a little shape. The front has been dried straight to hold it in position and held with some light product like hairspray. A quick spray will add a layer of hold to the rest of the style.
#8: Very Short Afro Fade
If you’re looking for a short style for your hair then this very short afro fade may be what you’re looking for. It has been faded down to skin around the ears and then blended at the midpoint. This creates a transition into the short top. With the blend at the mid point it allows the barber to line in the temple arch which compliments the fringe line up. This leaves a very sharp finish to a curly mens haircut.
#9: Curly Blowout Hairstyle
If you are looking for a curly style with more length, then this curly blowout hairstyle may be the one for you. This has been cut into a short graduation. This means that the hair is at its shortest point at the base of the neck. And it gradually gets longer up to the front of the fringe. Volume has been styled into this. I would recommend using a volume spray and scrunch-drying it in. This would be enough product to give you an all day hold.
#10: Choppy Curls with an Undercut Fade
If you want to keep length only on the top, ask your barber to shape the top and fade the sides. An undercut on the sides will also help keep length on the top. The sides aren’t blended into the top like a normal fade is. Ask about products to enhance the texture of your curls.
#11: Men’s Side-Swept Curls
A natural pompadour is a great way to keep your curly locks long and stylish. Ask your barber or stylist to show you how to style it without a part, giving it an effortless look. Pair this style with a low taper fade haircuts to give it a clean finish.
#12: Bearded Fade on a Short Mullet
Mullets have made a massive come back in the last few years. A classic twist on one is this bearded fade on a short mullet. You will see that the sides have been taken tight around the ears and then faded out in to the beard for a nice flow. The sides have then been blended heavily into the top with a slight disconnection. This allows for more length to be left on top to style. Use a pomade to style on top. It will give you a glossy finish and hold the curls tightly.
#13: Shaved Temple with Curled Hair and Fringe
Modern day mullets are trending high right now, especially for men! This is an awesome style if you have curly hair, as it will take no effort for you to create a textured look. The best way to create a modern mullet is to taper the sides short while keeping the back long. Ask your barber or stylist for tips.
#14: Mid Skin Fade with Dense Curls
Dense, curly hair can sometimes be difficult to manage. A great men’s style for this type of hair density would be a mid skin fade. This will get rid of a lot of weight while keeping your cut looking clean and fresh. Dense hair is generally pretty easy to fade so you will just need to determine what length you want to keep the top. Ask your stylist or barber for tips.
#15: Textured Curly Hair with Sharp Faded Sides
A popular style is a textured curly top with sharp faded sides. The back and sides have been faded to the skin around the ears and nape of the neck. Then disconnected from the top. This way of cutting allows more length to be left to style the curls. If too much is taken off the top you will run the risk of the center being too heavy and you’ll be left with a faux hawk. I recommend using a styling cream and letting it dry naturally to avoid frizz.
#16: Chin-Length Curly Cut with Layers
Long surfer hair has always been in style. This chin-length curly cut with layers is an option for you. It has been cut using a variety of techniques such as club and point cutting. If your hair is thick, then it can be thinned to help take the weight out and ease your styling regime. To style, I would recommend using a curling cream on slightly damp hair. Leave it to dry naturally, and avoid brushing it as it will cause frizz.
#17: Long Faux Hawk Cut with Curls
If you’re looking for a haircut that allows you to go shorter while also keeping length, consider a faux hawk. This cut will give you the best of both worlds—a nice fade on the sides with length on top and in the back. Not quite a full mullet status, but pretty close! This is a great hairstyle for any guy who has curly hair. Ask your stylist or barber for tips on styling.
#18: Curly Crop Cut
If you’re looking for a way to still enjoy your curls and a short cut as well, consider a curly crop cut. This will allow you to keep your curly locks on top while enjoying the sharpness of a fade on the rest of your hair. Some styling tips for your curls would be to try a curl cream, something to enhance the shape. Then finish with either air drying or a diffuser. This will allow your curls to dry in shape without any frizz!
#19: Curled Fluffy Haircut
Longer hair can be cut and styled into a variety of styles. This curled fluffy haircut is an example of something different. It has been cut in what we call a uniform layer, meaning all of the hair is the same length. This cut has been styled with volume. To emulate this, I recommend scrunch drying some volume spray in. Then, finish off with hairspray to hold.
#20: Temple Undercut on Curly Copper Hair
Sometimes the best haircuts for guys with curly hair are created by combining different techniques. This allows for unique hairstyles. By keeping length on top and in the back, you create the shape of a mullet. While tapering the sides gives the effect of an undercut or fade. If you’re looking for something new, ask your barber or stylist to try this look on you. This style looks especially good on guys who have curly hair. Plus, it already has a natural texture.
#21: Gradual Fade with Curly Top
The easiest way to get a clean haircut is to go with a fade. This technique is customizable and can be altered based on how short you want to go, as well as how high. A gradual fade allows for a natural grow out. Most of the time, dudes with curly hair don’t know how to manage their locks and decide to keep it short instead. If you want to keep the length on top, ask your barber for products and styling tips.
#22: Brushed-Up Curly Hairstyle
Curls are a great way to get volume, this brushed-up curly hairstyle has utilized the curls to get the height. The hair has been cut in short graduation. This means shorter at the nape of the neck transitioning into a long fringe. Curls can get unruly, so avoid using bushes too often. The easiest way to style this is to dry some volume spray at the front scrunching to keep your curls together. Finish off with some hairspray for extra hold.
#23: Slick Back Style with Curls
Longer hairstyles can have an added edge with curls. Just keep it manageable with a curly slicked-back style. With longer hair, you may want to use a lighter product. This will work if you have a tendency to run your fingers through your hair. With some of my clients, I use argan oil to style. This will give you a light hold and also condition your hair at the same time. Use it sparingly, though. Too much will make your hair greasy, and the slicked-back top will become unmanageable.
#24: Medium Cut on Thick Curls
Curls can come in many forms, some tight and some loose. The density of your hair will also play a factor in the product used and styles achieved. Some time and effort have been spent on this medium cut on thick curls. To keep your hair in place, avoid using a brush on curls like this as over-brushing will cause frizz. I would recommend using a mousse or curling cream while your hair is damp and leave it to dry naturally.
#25: Modern Short Mullet with Tousled Top
Mullets are on trend again, and modern takes on the style appear more and more. This modern short mullet with a tousled top is a good example of curly haircuts for men. The sides have been taken shorter around the ears and some length in the back. Normally I wouldn’t recommend using a brush, but to achieve this finish, you will need one. Shampoo your hair so it’s easier to style. Dry some holding spray into your hair scrunching the top. Then, apply the styling product and brush both sides of the back into the center.
#26: Natural Soft Curls on Thin Hair
Even loose curls can be styled to make the most of them, and these natural soft curls on thin hair are a formal example. This style is a modern take on the classic crop. It has been styled forward in the same way and the curls are manipulated to sit softly on the forehead. If you want a softer finish then a lighter product like a volume spray will work. Finish off with a light styling cream that will give you a lighter finish.
#27: Edgy Mullet Mohawk
This edgy mullet mohawk is a good example of how two styles can be combined for a different finished style. With a style like this, the wearer can keep it real and at the same time add a bit of edge to his look. There are a few products that can be used, but a classic one is mousse. Just massage a good handful into your curls and then scrunch dry it. Generally, this will be enough, but you can add a bit of hairspray for added hold.
#28: Comb Over Style on Long Curly Hair
Curls need looking after more than your average straight hair. Even a long curly comb-over style needs the right products. The key is to use the right products. Otherwise, you can end up with frizz. A curling cream creates much more together curls even for a masculine look. A very common misconception is that you need to brush curls to stop the matting. Although in part that is correct, over-brushing will frizz it. Ask your hair professional for product advice.
#29: Undercut Loose Perm
If your hair is straight you can still get curls, this loose perm with undercut may be the perfect style for you. With undercuts, the top is completely sectioned off. Your barber will give your side and back a short buzz with clippers. The section then left on top will be given a perm. Remember, the smaller the rods, the tighter the curl so be sure to be clear on how curly you want to go.
#30: Curly Hi-Top Fade
Curls do range in tightness, some are super tight, and some are more of a wave. This curly hi-top fade is more on the tighter side. To maintain it in its best condition use the products recommended by your barber. With the tighter curls, I find it easier to apply product such as a curling cream or argan oil to damp hair. Then, simply let it dry naturally. Try not to use too much oil in your hair as it will be greasy to touch.
#31: Curly Burst Fade Cut with Short Bangs
More guys are being inventive with their styles now as can be seen with this curly burst fade with short bangs. This style is meant to be a head turner. Keeping it short around the ears, leaving length on top giving a bold and sharp finish. It has been faded to the shortest clipper length to look polished. A matte effect has been created on top, I would recommend a sea salt spray and a styling powder for maximum hold.
#32: Sharp Skin Fade and Curls
This sharp skin fade and curls are a good example of a clean tidy finish and easy to maintain every day. The top has been disconnected from the sides, the reason for this is to make the most of the curls and complete the look. Do not brush the curls as this will create unwanted frizz as will add time and stress to your day. The easiest way to style is to scrunch some pomade into the curls while your hair is damp and leave it to dry naturally.
#33: Tapered Cut and Highlighted Curls
A small amount of color can change the look of a cut as can be seen with this tapered cut and highlighted curls. The hair on the sides and back have been taken short and tapered heavily into the curls to make the most of the style. The hairline has been cut in all around the head for a sharp finish. Tapered cuts, when paired with mens curly hairstyles, are all the rage at the moment, so many barbers will be able to do this.

A lot of curly styles are disconnected at the top as can be seen with this faded voluminous curls with beard line up. This is a very popular style at the moment and plenty of guys are asking for it.

There are options for men with straight hair for curls as is shown in this drop fade on perm hair. A perm is a great option. You can have those curls in the exact place that you want leaving enough straight hair to create a nice fade. Level up with wax for a glossy but strong hold to keep it in place throughout your day. Some barbershops do over services like perms but you may find you will need to get it done separately.

Skin fades have become more popular over time, a good example is this sharp fade with a shaved line. The simplest of designs can be effective, this one has been shaved in with a cut throat razor to make it stand out more. This will work for all styles no matter the color of the density of your hair.

With some big curls, some guys do like to heat style them to create volume like this taper fade blowout. The base of the neck and the side burns have been tapered out quite tightly to leave as much of the hair on top as possible. Personally, I would use a sea salt spray and dry it in when styling.
