The 5 Men’s Hairstyles Dominating 2021
The 5 men’s hairstyle trends for 2021 are a continuation of the choice you made in 2020… to shave, or to grow?
Now I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, I’m not a big follower of trends. I am, however, a big believer in doing what you want, wearing what you want, and experimenting as you like.
With the closure of barbershops in 2020 (and into 2021), we were forced to decide, “do I grow it, or do I shave it?” As such, guys like us were given the opportunity to experiment with style. The hairstyles that we are seeing this year are the development of these lockdown looks.
1. Short & Textured
I know from the video that I did about the death of the Skin Fade, there were so many comments saying, “what do you know… no, never… never giving up.” That is fine. Go wild. But with this ‘short & textured‘ hair trend, it’s less about solid structure and it’s more about movement.
You can still go with your favourite fade, but it doesn’t need to be so severe. Try working with slightly longer length on the sides, or move the fade placement lower, to allow for a more tapered (and classic) look.
With the hair on top, it’s all about adding shape and definition – for a choppy, textured, messy finish. This will then allow you to style with matte finish products for a really gritty finish.
4. The Mullet
Now, if during lockdown you completed Netflix, then I’m sure you watched Tiger King. Joe Exotic really did bring back that mullet… but maybe for all the wrong reasons.
The mullet did, however, start to work its way back into the mainstream. Check out this mullet look on Troye Sivan.
