Advertisement1 of 40Next

Do you want a hairstyle that brings out the natural hair thickness and health of your hair while removing the bulk? The mission is easy to achieve if you choose a flattering haircut that looks stylish and works well for your lifestyle. Here are some good examples of hairstyles for men with thick hair for you to explore classy, sporty, or avant-garde haircut options and see how you can experiment with lengths and styling finishes.

1. Spiky Brush Cut

For a short hairstyle that is not boring in the slightest, you need to go for texture. Separating the pieces and layers of top hair is easy—just get a texturizing cream or pomade. Style the front pieces forward and the top pieces in alternating directions.

2. Middle-Part Curtain Hairstyle

This natural-looking hairstyle owes its success to a flawless medium-length haircut, particularly flattering for men with longer faces. Curtain bangs help you achieve that stylish, undone look without intricate styling. Just apply some volumizing spray on wet strands and blow-dry your hair with a round brush for 5-10 minutes.

3. Curly Top and Short Sides

If you’re looking for a men’s hairstyle that works well with naturally curly or wavy hair, look no further. The whole point of this cut is volume on top. If you’ve already got volume—well, it’s a no brainer.

4. Short Wavy Crop

Wavy hairstyles don’t have to be long. You can let your natural texture work for you in shorter looks as well. While you’ll still want to use a product to help create definition in the layers, the work will be half done, as wavy hair creates cool texture all on its own.

5. Low Fade with Curly Fringe

Blowout fade haircuts are perfect for men with thick curly hair. Styled with curl enhancers, they allow you to control unruly hair and give your natural curls a desired shape effortlessly. But if your hair is straight and you desire curly locks daily, a perm is a popular option nowadays too.

6. Curly Top Taper Fade

Wavy hair men styles are a great excuse to go for long upper layers. You can show off your waves and sport very neat tapered sides. Just ask your barber for a mid or low fade with stark demarcation. Also be sure to tell him you want three to four inches of hair left up top.

7. Spiky French Crop

This style is a must for straight hair. If your hair is thick and pin straight, all you have to do is to use a medium hold texturizing cream to work the pieces in different directions. But if your hair has some wave to it, just do not let it grow too long and opt for a choppy cut.

8. Wavy Fringe Taper Haircut

Men’s wavy hairstyles can easily be created with a diffuser. This attachment goes on the end of your blow dryer and amplifies curls and waves. As you are drying, be sure to shape your hair as you want it.

9. Textured Top with Precision Undercut

This sharp and edgy hairstyle for thick wavy hair aligns perfectly with the latest hair trends. The point-cut finish, achieved with a razor, adds a cool edge to the tips, accentuating your hair’s natural texture. To maintain a clear distinction between the fresh skin fade and the hair on top, consider shaving your nape and temples once a few weeks.

10. Pompadour Hairstyle

While it might take you a week of practice to master the pompadour style, once you’ve got it down, it will feel like a breeze. Work a bit of heat protectant cream through your hair. Then use a round brush to blow dry individual sections up and back. Finish with some hair spray. Done!

11. Long Bro Flow Hairstyle

Exuding an air of confidence and sophisticated charm, this iconic swept-back hairstyle is perfect for men with medium-length hair. Crafted with a sculpting foam that breathes life and volume into your hair, it helps you make an ultimate statement with your hair.

12. High Taper Fade and Quiff

A quiff hairstyle, complemented by clean, short sides, boasts the perfect length and thickness. The high-shine finish adds an extra allure to this trendy look. Facial hair brings an edgy call to this sleek look, resulting in a more authentic appearance.

13. Dreadlocks with Undercut Designs

If standing out is your typical M.O., then this look might be for you. Where do we start? First off, those twisted dreadlocks are perfect—each was created with an equal amount of hair for a smooth, even look. The edged-out designs are a unique way to frame the faux hawk fish tail braid. Whoa man!

@fade_master

14. Taper with Long Side-Swept Top

These are good for the fashionable among you. Instead of sweeping the long top layers back, let them hang to the side. It’s a euro chic style that is catching on everywhere. To get smooth volume, use a blow dryer post shower.

@mattjbarbers

15. Cornrows with Buzzed Sides and Men Bun

Dang! Those cornrows are pretty amazing. If you’re looking for something like this, you either have to bring in pictures to show your braider, or just trust her/him to create something unique. What so cool about this look are the tiny braids that act like borders.

@_jazitup

16. Curly Burst Fade

For a medium length cut, this style is a great option. While this look is still pretty rare, we are seeing the faux hawk temple fade popping up a little bit more lately. This means it’s a great cut if you want to look stylish but also stand out from the crowd.

@pjabreu

17. Line Up Low Fade Hairstyle

If you have thick hair and seek a low-maintenance haircut, consider this cool drop fade. It offers a clean edge and doesn’t require any styling. The only hair care routine you might need is to wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo twice a week to keep the scalp’s natural oils under control.

@gustavinho_da_nike10

18. Hipster Pompadour Style

If you’ve got seriously thick hair, you should show it off. What better way to do that than with a long top cut? Combine long waves and a low fade with a perfectly groomed beard and you’ll be feeling like a million bucks.

19. Brush Back with Temple Fade

Thick hair is a great benefit when it comes to styling a pomp or quiff, as it gives you the needed height and volume. To master this style, use a medium hold gel to set your hair in place. Faded temples contrast with the longer top and give it a nice, clean appearance.

@juice.the.barber

20. Taper Fade with Spiky Quiff

It’s so easy to get the height and volume of this style if you already have naturally thick hair. Just blow dry hair straight up and then style it forward as you apply gel. Finish with hairspray to maintain the spikes. Just don’t overdo with the products!

21. Textured Short Cut

Jeremy Jordan’s spiked hair is at the peak of popularity in 2025. Guys are used to styling their short haircuts spiky and even know what products work the best in this relation: shape pastes, styling creams, and pomades cope with the task fairly well.

22. Ivy Leage Haircut

Since spikes are not appropriate in terms of formal hairstyles for men, Jake Gyllenhaal opts for a neat side sweep to fit into the black tie dress code: no parting or extravagant finishes, only a cute brushed-over male quiff, fixed by a matte-finish styling product.

23. Textured Mullet with Micro Bangs

A side under shave and a longer back, typical for a mullet, paired with a crop top creates a dramatic and edgy look. Having both modern and classic vibes, this hairstyle is best to combine with facial hair, especially a mustache.

26. Mod Haircut

If you aim to accentuate the texture of your naturally wavy hair, consider this layered haircut with a fringe falling over your forehead. While it can look great when air-dried, you can boost hair movement and texture with a dry wax or clay, applying a dime-size amount of a product on damp strands.

@nicks.cutz

27. Short Hair with Textured Full Bangs

With thick hair, you have a wide range of options for cuts and styles. Consider layered hairstyles with a longer fringe, for instance. The shattered finish of the hair that fell onto the eyebrows adds a touch of ruggedness, giving a stylish appearance of me63ssy styling.

The taper fade is always neat and clean and looks classy with brushed-back male hairstyles. To style the top, start by applying a pre-styler working it in your hair, and blow-dry lifting the front. Apply hair spray of the medium or strong hold to make it last the whole day.

Zac Efron has fabulous thick hair that would be a pity to clipper short even on the sides.

Men with classic facial features, like Ben Barnes, look great with classic haircuts and hairstyles. You’ll appreciate his elongated cut if you do not like to wear a quiff and prefer a short-to-medium length. We love the semi-matte finish of this hairstyle on the dark hair.

36. Bleached Top and Shaved Sides

We are used to seeing fabulous fade haircuts on black men, but not every white guy looks good with a fade. Adam Lambert does. His hair is thick enough for a statement fade. The top is cut into for the nice texture. We love!

37. Side-Swept Quiff and Blended Layers

Quiff is a fantastic hairstyle for those who want to achieve a polished look quickly. With a side part, straight hair easily gets the volume and fullness flattering for men with a short forehead. Style it with matte wax for a strong hold with a natural-looking finish.

@jubei_ma

38. Shoulder-Length Hairstyle

We love Jared Leto for his talent and open mind to crazy fashion attempts. Not every man will wear shoulder-length tresses messy, but we should admit that the cut and the coloristic solution become him so much.

39. Curtain Cut for Straight Hair

For men with long faces and thick straight hair, a curtain haircut is definitely worth trying. While balancing the face shape, they allow thick strands to appear voluminous yet lightweight. Apply some texturizing or volumizing hair spray and leave your hair dry naturally for a soft, natural appearance.

@dencioaguilar

40. Burst Fade and Line Up

While most of us dream of having thick hair, the owners of this hair type can be exhausted by having too much volume that makes hair look poofy and bulky. Layered cuts can help you thin out the strands, emphasizing your hair’s natural features. You may pair this haircut with different types of undercuts and fades to come up with your signature hairstyle.
