Hair is more than just a style — it’s a statement. Whether you’re walking into a big job interview or prepping for an unforgettable first date, man’s hairstyle speaks volumes about his personality and confidence. 2025 is all about bold transformations and modern twists on classic looks.

The middle split

This iconic ’90s hairstyle never truly faded — it simply evolved. In 2025, barbers are redefining this trend by adding layers and texture to mid-length hair, creating a natural flow that’s irresistibly touchable. As a result — a relaxed, sensual vibe that practically begs for fingers to be run through it.

The side-parted hairstyle

The side-parted hairstyle has been a timeless staple, celebrated for its polished and classic appeal. Frequently showcased in Indian cinema and at formal gatherings, it embodies elegance and tradition.

The curtains

Throwing it back to iconic '90s hairstyles, curtain bangs are making a strong comeback this year. Often dubbed the "Leo DiCaprio" thanks to his swoon-worthy Titanic look, this style was once the dream cut for every teenage guy.

The comma haircut

The Comma haircut stands out with its distinctive front swoop, curling gracefully like a comma. This playful yet refined style uses the hair’s natural texture to add volume and movement, making it an excellent choice for anyone wanting a look that balances sophistication with a hint of charm.

The Rock 'n' Roller

Think wild layers, bold textures, and a deliberately untamed edge. The key to nailing this look - load up on mousses and salt sprays for that effortlessly messy, lived-in finish. It’s a little rebellious, a little nostalgic - and totally rock star.

Inspired by surfer vibes, this wavy cut is all about natural fullness and effortless movement. Stylists enhance the look by applying sea salt spray or a lightweight cream after washing to add texture and hold as the natural waves form. The key is to avoid overstyling, letting the waves settle into that perfectly imperfect beachy finish. It's an ideal choice for men with natural waves or curls looking to amplify their texture with a relaxed, stylish edge.

Taking cues from ’70s shags, this layered cut features longer bangs that sweep across the forehead, adding a touch of effortless cool to any look. This modern interpretation offers versatile styling options, with the hair carefully tapered around the ears and neck to blend seamlessly with the longer top layers. The contrast creates a flattering effect for various face shapes, enhancing the overall style with a contemporary edge.

The Wall Street look

This year, men are embracing a polished yet relaxed vibe reminiscent of off-duty Wall Street traders. Hair-wise, it’s all about mid-length styles swept back with a glossy finish. Shorter back and sides, softened with subtle layers for a refined yet approachable appearance.

The buzz cut

The buzz cut, a timeless classic, is making a strong comeback in men’s hairstyles for 2025. Barbers are reinventing this iconic style by experimenting with clipper lengths and textures, adding depth and character to its traditional simplicity. Techniques like blending different guard lengths or incorporating fades create a modern, sculpted look. Some stylists even use clippers without guards on specific sections for sharper definition, elevating the buzz cut into a versatile and contemporary choice.

True style isn’t about following trends — it’s about feeling good in what you wear and how you present yourself. Whether it’s your hairstyle or your total look, comfort should always come first. When you feel confident and comfortable, your style naturally shines through.
