Whether you're going to the office, the beach, or dinner with your significant other, a fashionable yet easy-maintenance haircut can make or break your overall style. In 2025, simplicity is where it's at with texture, form, and ease of maintenance being at the forefront. Below are 35 easy haircuts for men that bring style without overdoing it.
1. Messy Mid-Length Style
Ideal for men who prefer a more relaxed look, this cut features medium-length layers with a natural, lightly tousled finish. It's great on wavy or thick hair and provides a relaxed, young look.
Stylist Jordan Marks says, “Mid-length messy hair is ideal for men who want volume without a lot of fuss. Just a bit of sea salt spray can transform this into an effortlessly cool look.”
2. Textured French Crop
This contemporary take on the traditional French crop features choppy layers and a little fringe. The textured style adds more movement and edge, which is ideal for straight to slightly wavy hair types.
3. Beachy Flow Men's Cut
Sun-kissed and sea-sprayed looking, this cut replicates the relaxed texture of beach waves. Typically shoulder-length or just above, it's ideal for men who prefer a laid-back, bohemian style.
“This cut gives you that vacation vibe year-round,” explains stylist Maya Coleman, “and it works great with minimal product and a natural finish.”
4. Buzz Cut
Enduring and effortlessly masculine, the buzz cut is a no-nonsense haircut that complements nearly every face shape. It also needs zero styling and is particularly ideal for men with robust facial structures.
5. Mushroom Cut
A retro trend coming back into style, the mushroom cut is a rounded, bowl-shaped cut with heavy fringe. It suits younger men or those with straight, thick hair who are seeking a bold but uncomplicated style.
6. Soft Mullet
This contemporary, soft rendition of the classic mullet combines close layers in the front with lengthy locks in the back. The style is sleekly trimmed to eliminate brash contrasts and suits individuals who desire an original but easy-to-maintain appearance.
7. Textured Crop with a Fade
The ultimate combination of edgy and minimal, this cut combines a short top with textured layers and a fresh fade on the sides. It's versatile and stylish without going too crazy.
“It’s a barbershop favorite,” says stylist Eli Navarro. “The fade adds structure while the top keeps it cool.”
8. Low Fade Textured Style
The hair is kept short and textured on top with a tapering fade beginning near the ears. Gentle on maintenance while classy, it is an excellent option in both professional and casual settings.
9. Curly Quiff
The quiff remains a classic, and with curls, it gets a modern update. This haircut keeps volume at the front and allows natural curls to define the style. Use curl cream for extra bounce and control.
“A curly quiff works great if you embrace your natural curl,” says curl specialist Andrea Lim. “It’s charming and eye-catching.”
10. Scissor Cut
Perfect for those who want a natural and bespoke cut, the scissor cut employs no clippers. It leaves a softer finish, cut to your head shape and hair growth, and is both timeless and low-maintenance.
11. Middle Part Flow
This style has longer sides that frame the face naturally, cleanly parted down the middle. It's low-maintenance for men with straight or slightly curly hair and gives a retro yet new-age charm.
12. French Crop
A low-key cut with a short fringe and close sides, the French crop is perfect for men who want neatness without having to style every day. Suits thick or straight hair.
“It’s ideal for men who hate spending time on styling,” says barber Dave Rush. “It’s also great for framing the face.”
13. Skin Fade
This fade style is dramatic and combines hair from thick at the top to bald at the bottom. Use it with any length on top for a clean, fresh, and edgy look.
14. Textured Curly Crop
This haircut celebrates the natural bulk of curls with precise layers and short sides. It keeps curls manageable while leaving them cool and under control.
15. Short Mullet
The shortened version of mullet exhibits minimal dramatic flair from front to back. It does have some rebellious flair, yet remains easy to maintain.
16. Medium Short Style
Balanced between too short and too long, this haircut keeps sides trimmed while leaving enough length on top for easy styling. It's a great cut for both professional and casual settings.
“This cut is ideal for men growing their hair out,” explains stylist Claire Jensen. “It still looks neat without committing to length.”
17. Middle Part Flowy Cut
A 90s throwback, this style fuses flowing strands with a crisp middle parting. Most flattering for men with naturally straight or thin hair.
18. Contemporary Pompadour with an Undercut
The pompadour is updated with a harsh undercut, bringing razor-sharp contrast. The top is brushed back with fullness as the sides are clipped close to the face for a sleek and bold look.
19. Buzz Fade
A light upgrade from the classic buzz, this model has a side fade included to give it depth and dimension. It's a great option for a clean, minimalist look.
20. Long Curly Mullet
Curls are the star of this haircut. The longer back gives volume and personality, while the front and sides are sculpted to create structure.
“This is a great choice for curly-haired men who want something fun yet expressive,” says curl expert Renée D’Silva.
21. Short Shaggy Cut
This effortless style has uneven layers and a soft texture all over. It's perfect for creating volume on fine hair and can be used for casual or semi-formal styles.
22. Crew Cut
The crew cut is a favorite among many as it's about simplicity and masculinity. Short on the sides and slightly longer on the top, this haircut is great for everyday use.
23. Ivy League Cut
A neat and longer version of the crew cut, this cut permits side-swept styling atop while keeping sides clean. An excellent combination of business and casual looks.
24. Side Part
The side part is a classic cut that provides definition and formality. Quick to style with a comb and light styling product, it suits almost any occasion.
25. Taper Fade
A taper fade slowly decreases the hair from the temples to the neckline. The timeless design looks good with a range of top styles and sharpens any haircut.
26. Curly Flow
Let your curls do their thing; the curly flow is all about shoulder-length growth styled loose, gorgeous waves. Perfect for an expressive and relaxed nature.
27. Flat Top
Recognizable from its height and accuracy, the flat top is clipped level across the crown, producing a dramatic shape. It's particularly favored by men who have coarse, standing hair.
“The flat top is all about clean lines,” says barber Xavier Cole.
28. Curly Mullet
Similar to the long curly mullet but a bit more defined and molded, this style maintains curls forward and playful, particularly in the back, with a more chiseled front.
29. Soft Crop
A low-maintenance and understated haircut, the soft crop is close to the scalp and short with minimal texture. Suitable for men who prefer a neat, understated look.
30. Curls Cut
Cut specifically for curly hair textures, this cut forms the curls to fall naturally while minimizing bulk and eliminating frizz. It provides freedom without mess.
“It keeps curls defined and avoids the dreaded triangle shape,” says curl expert Janette Quinn.
31. Back Brush with Mid Fade
This one is long in the back, swept back with a mid fade softly blended into the nape of the neck. Offers height and style without much maintenance.
32. Razor Cut
Cutting with a razor rather than scissors, this cut creates textured, feathered ends. It's particularly handy for achieving angular styles on straight or slightly curly hair.
33. Textured Crop with a Tapered Back and Sides
A twist on the traditional crop, this style places focus on texture and movement at the top with a gradual fade down to the neckline and ears, providing a balanced and on-trend appearance.
34. Blended Combover with High Skin Fade
A sharp skin fade shines with a cleanly blended comb-over top. It's neat, modern, and flatters any face shape for that ultimate outfit-to-casual finish.
