Up your hair game in 2024 with these fresh, handsome cuts as seen on all of our favorite fashion-forward celebrities.
With the warm-weather months on the horizon, there's no time like the present to take the leap and try out a new hairstyle just in time for summer. While the mullet has reigned supreme as one of the most popular hairstyles for men in recent months, tousled '90s-style cuts are emerging as the styles all your favorite male celebrities are sporting.
This season, hairstyles for men are cropped, ultra-long, and everything in between, with the most trendy looks ranging from the classic buzz cut to shoulder-length locs. Take a cue from stars like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Timothée Chalamet, who are rocking curly chin-length cuts, or opt to go for the big chop like Travis Kelce and Bad Bunny, two avowed buzz-cut devotees.
See all the trendy takes on classic hairstyles for men that are dominating men's grooming looks ahead of the season and start your summer off right with a fresh chop.
Just as curtain bangs have skyrocketed in popularity among women, the curtain mullet has reigned as one of the most stylish hairstyles for men in 2024. Refined, sophisticated, and nearly effortlessly handsome, the curtain mullet is a great opportunity to try out longer-locked looks this season.
If there's any time to pull out the big clippers, it's ahead of summer days that are sure to be some of the hottest in history. If you anticipate spending much of your time outdoors in the coming months and are looking to beat the heat, make the leap and go for a buzz cut. As an added perk, the buzz cut is one of the easiest hairstyles for men to maintain, as all you need to do to ensure your look stays fresh is either continue to keep it cropped or let it grow out again, but either way, it requires minimal day-to-day upkeep.
Looking for a foolproof way to introduce some more texture and volume into your hairstyle? This summer, try out the Korean perm—a look that spices up your natural hair with the smallest amount of curl and enhances what you already have instead of changing your hair chemistry too drastically. For that effortlessly cool K-pop idol aura, accompany your Korean perm with long, shaggy bangs, as seen below on V of BTS.
Straight-forward and no-fuss, the French crop is among the most traditional hairstyles for men in the game. For a look that is easy to maintain and style day in and day out, opt for the French crop à la Paul Mescal, who recently switched out his mullet for this pared-back cut.
For the man looking to take some volume off of the sides ahead of the sweltering summer months, the shaggy mohawk is for you. Taika Waititi recently donned this look at the 2024 Met Gala, where he exuded confidence and effortless style, all while maintaining an air of cool nonchalance, owing partially to his tousled locks. Although many hairstyles for men can be adjusted based on hair texture, this look works best if your hair has a bit of curl or wave to it.
Much like the crew cut or French crop, side-swept bangs have been a go-to look for men throughout the decades, but modern male celebrities like Glen Powell are helping to breathe new life into the cut by elevating and accentuating the general silhouette of the look—a move that has reintroduced side-swept bangs as one of the top hairstyles for men in 2024.
Locs have been a popular look among Black men for decades, but recently, style stars like Jaden Smith and Luka Sabbat have made a splash after sporting loc updos, which are the perfect way to switch up your look without making too big of a hair commitment.
If you're looking for a style that allows you to keep some length while still being manageable, find your inspiration from Dune and Wonka star Timothée Chalamet, who sports a midlength middle part cut that manages to exude effortless masculine confidence and sheer elegance all at once.
Austin Butler seems to have almost singlehandedly revived this ultra-popular '90s look, as he's sported his signature artfully tousled 'do to countless major movie premieres and high-profile Hollywood events in the past year. If you're in search of a playful, sultry look to spice up your hair game, look to this cut, which has become one of the most popular hairstyles for men in 2024.
This look is a classic among hairstyles for men for a reason. Timeless, easy to maintain, and fresh-looking every time, the tapered side part is ideal for the man in search of a style to sport anytime, anywhere, whether on a romantic date night or at a high-stakes meeting in the office.
