Best Black Men Haircuts

From the high top and afro fade to the wave and line up, these haircuts for black men are hot, easy, and stylish.

High Top Fade

The classic high top haircut is back in all its 90’s glory. Also known as the box cut or box fade, the high top fade is a sharp and structured style perfect for those who want manageable but voluminous hair.

High Top Fade Black Men's Hairstyles

The style involves a fade down to the base of the neck, with short sides and about 3 inches of hair on top. The top section of the hair is cut into a rectangular shape that gives the box fade its name. Some go for longer hair on top, while others will prefer to keep it short and tight.

Black Men Haircuts - High Top Fade

The way you style the flat top depends on your personal preference. For example, some black men prefer low or high top fades with parts or a temple fade with a hair design.

Black Men High Top Fade Haircut

Ultimately, the flat top haircut is a classic for black guys, so ask your barber about this style next time you’re up for a haircut.

Afro Fade

As one of the best haircuts for black men, the afro fade is all about short sides and a wild curly top. With less maintenance required than the box fade, an afro fade with curly twists is a variant of the box cut, allowing for more natural hair growth on top.

Afro Fade Haircuts For Black Men

The sides and back of the hair are faded high, low or skin/bald. In complete contrast to the taper fade, about 3-5 inches of hair is left on top of the head to grow out and style in whatever way you like.

Haircuts For Black Men - Afro Fade

In fact, the afro on top can be long or short with curls, twists, or nappy black hair for a big finish. Overall, the afro fade is a classic black man’s haircut that works perfectly with black hair.

Short Part with Fade

The short part line is a popular and surprisingly easy style to pull off. No matter how short and thick your hair might be, ask your barber to shave in a hard part line on either side of the head.

Short Hair Fade with Part

The part adds some disconnected asymmetry to the style, reflecting styles such as the side part or the disconnected undercut. Better yet, a long surgical part can even be one aspect of a cool hair design carved into your fade.

Line Up

Perfect for those who like to keep a sharp, clean hairline, the line up adds style and structure to your hair. Also known as an edge or shape up, your barber will shave a line straight across your forehead and around your temples to create a boxy look which frames your face.

Line Up Haircuts For Black Men

For black men sporting a buzz cut, waves, or a cool fade haircut, the line up is a distinct and effective way to accentuate a strong jawline and chiseled face.

Black Haircuts - Line Up

The one important thing to keep in mind is that the hairline will grow back fast, so having a pair of clippers at home for regular maintenance can help you keep it looking neat.

Wave

The wave is a divisive style in the world of hair. Your barber will either love it or hate it, but getting the cut is up to you. You’ll need special tools and product to maintain this hairstyle, most importantly a wave brush and thick hair.

Waves Haircuts For Black Men

Talk to your barber and see if they think the wave haircut could work for your lifestyle and hair type.

Curls with Fade

Black men with curly hairstyles always look fresh and trendy. If your hair doesn’t have the type of tight curls required for the afro fade and is instead more like ringlets, loose curls with a fade or undercut could be a great hairstyle choice for you.

Black Men Curly Hairstyles

The curls with fade haircut is certainly a popular hairstyle for black men. The faded sides and back provide a strong contrast to the curls on top, which can be styled loose and messy or parted to the side.

Buzz Cut

Practical, minimalist, and very short: the buzz cut is the hairstyle of choice for many black men. For those who like to play sports and don’t like to deal with difficult hair, the buzz cut is perfect.

If you’re going to work every day, the buzz cut looks sleek and neat all the time, with very little maintenance required. With your own clippers, you can maintain this style and do it yourself regularly by simply shaving all over your head with the same guard size.

Mohawk Fade

The mohawk fade, also known as a frohawk, is another classic black haircut, and it looks great whether you have tight curls or wider ringlets. Mohawk fade haircuts for black men offer a fashionable and cool look without the need for too much product.

Simply and easy to get, the mohawk hairstyle just needs a drop or burst fade on the sides with thick, long hair on top of the head.

Some guys like the sides super short with a skin fade, while others like a high taper fade down to the neck. Either way, the haircut is classy, eye-catching, and the perfect way to showcase your natural hair texture with a stylish cut.

Twists With Fade

Twists have been a staple for black men, but adding the fade to the classic style adds modern relevance. Before you get the cut, you’ll need at least 2 to 4 inches of hair on top of your head.

Black Men Twists Fade Haircuts

The cool thing about the twist with fade haircut is that the fade on the sides allows for variation. For example, you can get a high, low, skin, or burst fade. The final hairstyle will always look polished and unique.
