Men's hairstyles are constantly evolving, but 2024 has seen some clear winners emerge in the style stakes. From classic crops to bold new looks, we've rounded up the most sought-after cuts right now – and revealed the one style that's falling out of favour.
The Top 5 Men's Hairstyles of 2024
Barbers across the UK are reporting these as their most requested styles:
- The Textured Crop – A modern take on the classic short back and sides with added texture on top for effortless style
- Longer Fringes – Inspired by 90s heartthrobs, this look works particularly well with wavy hair
- The Modern Mullet – Business in the front, party in the back has made a surprising comeback
- Curtain Fringes – The perfect middle ground between short and long styles
- Buzz Cut Variations – From skin fades to slightly longer versions, the buzz remains a solid choice
The Style To Avoid
While the undercut had its moment in recent years, top barbers are now advising clients to steer clear. "The harsh lines of a traditional undercut can look dated now," explains London-based stylist Marco Ferrara. "We're seeing clients opt for softer transitions and more natural-looking finishes."
How To Choose Your Perfect Cut
When selecting your next hairstyle, consider:
- Your face shape – certain cuts flatter different features
- Your hair type – what works for straight hair might not suit curls
- Your styling routine – some looks require more maintenance than others
- Your personal style – your haircut should reflect your personality
Remember, the best hairstyle is one that makes you feel confident while suiting your lifestyle. Consult with your barber about what would work best for you before taking the plunge.
