February 10, 2023 By Lilith Wetherall 2 Comments

In its natural state, curly hair is very attractive, which is why it is good to know how to style it before trying to straighten it without success and damage it. How are we going to do that? With the help of the most fashionable hairstyles for men with curly hair!

Since curly hair has a complete and complex style, you’ll be able to approach countless types of original hairstyles. It does not matter if your hair is long or short, because this hairstyle is and will always be fashionable.

Thus, it would be good to prepare to take care of your curly hair, and then turn it into your hallmark, because with the help of these hairstyles for men with curly hair, you will love even more your beautiful hair curls. Let’s move on!

Find the best curly hairstyles for men simply by scrolling and admiring the cuts and styles we’ve gathered below! We’ve put together this list because we know that it’s not always an easy task to style curly hair and many men can become coiled up (ha!) and frustrated with their curls.

When the right hairstyle comes along, everything else is going to change for the better! So let’s see of these best styles for curly hair!

PRO TIP

Before skimming through the article, it might be useful to find out precisely what type of curly hair you have: wavy, coiled, or afro-textured.

How to take care of your curly hair?

Men’s hair, as well as women’s hair, deserves special care. There are no one-size-fits-all hair products to suit all hair types, so you need to know the needs of your hair and choose hair cosmetics accordingly.

Curly hair can look great, but it requires special care, which is not easy. For curly hair to look good, it is not enough to wash it in the morning.

The base is a properly layered haircut that will make your care easier. The next step is to choose the right hair products. Curly hair needs hydration. Therefore, look for a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner or hair oil to prevent tangling. After styling, you should also use hair creams in order to highlight the look of the curls.

1. Side Swept Wide Wavy Curly Hair

We begin with a set of careless wavy curls that are running loose! To get curls like these, you need to take great care of your hair and style it with some water and loosely-applied hair pomade (or hair spray).

2. Flat Top Z Coils with Faded Sides

Most sportsmen and athletes wear this haircut because it has its own benefits and it does not require a lot (or any!) maintenance. You can try various contrasts by letting your imagination run free.

3. Neat Curly Hairstyles for Men

Curly hairstyles can prove very useful for men with receding hairlines, especially if the curls are styled in a loose and wavy way. Focus on arranging the hair on top and creating a long bob shape that shifts the attention from the forehead and to the locks on top.

4. Slicked Back Curly Comb Over Fade

As you will see on this list of curly hairstyles for men, there are very many ways to style them and some of the best will almost always include an undercut. This photo goes to show what an undercut can look like when paired with a slicked-back curly longer top that was also combed over.

5. Curly Wild Parted Afro Hairstyle

Afro hairstyles are back in fashion and are also the perfect reason to let your curly locks grow long and haywire. If you want to free your face of curls, simply gather it all up in a man bun or go the drastic way and chop it off!

6. Long Curly Quiff Top

Admire this long curly quiff top that is medium-length in size and which perfectly complements the short sides hairstyles. For a smooth finish, keep defining the curls by scrunching them into place.

7. Soft and Loose Curly Hairstyles for Men

While many young men will likely enjoy wearing this long top, short sides hairstyle with soft and loose curls, it can be tricky at times and it does require some attention if you want to style it properly.

8. Parted Curls with Disconnected Undercut

This curly hairstyle for men has an 80s vibe to it but without losing its modern touch – largely thanks to the disconnected undercut. Part it on one side and use hairspray as the finishing touch to keep it all in place.

9. Tight Curly Shag-Style

This mid to long top is styled in a very messy almost shag-like fashion and is left running wild and free. The look is completed by an almost equally unruly beard and a well-kept mustache.

10. Short Hair with Curly Fringe

It will come as no surprise that one of the best ways to style curly hair is to simply let it be. However, you can also play around and faux style it. Cut the hair short but leave the top just slightly longer so that you can bring some of the curls up front to act as a curly fringe.

11. Shaved Side and Low Fade Curly Hairstyles for Men with Afro-Textured Hair

No matter what type of fade you choose, this will always give you a clean and stylish look. Go for slightly longer hair on top and play with its texture by going for different hairstyles. Below, for example, admire a high fade that tapers down into a skin fade just above the ears.

12. Kit Harington Mid-Length Windswept Waves

This mid to shoulder-length wavy style is very easy to cut and maintain – you’ll just need scissors for it. Men with naturally thick hair should also cut in some layers to keep their texture but reduce the weight of the locks. Style things up a bit by using texture-enhancing hair products.

13. Medium Curly Hairstyles for Men

Let your hair grow a bit over your ears and forehead and go for a medium-length curly hairstyle. Depending on your type of hair, this will result either in a surfer-like look (like below) or one resembling a small afro.

14. Short and Thick Curly Hairstyles for Men

This textured and layered hairstyle makes the most of the thick curly hair by reducing weight and bulk, leaving just enough length for curls at the hairline.

15. Wavy Classy Curly Hairstyles for Men with Short Trimmed Beard

To get this business-appropriate look, you’ll need to go a bit heavier on the hair pomade and lighter on the water. Doing so will help keep the subtle side part in place and reduce the waviness and curliness of the hair a smidge.

16. Unruly Mohawk for Curls

Mohawk always stands out of the crowd so if have the courage (and the chance) to sport this rebellious hairstyle, you can forget about styling the top. A messy look is the icing on the cake with this one!

17. Short Curly Hairstyles for Men with Wavy Fringe and Shaved Sides

Go for a low shave on the back and sides and keep most of the length on top of the head. Blend the hair on top using scissors with the longest length at the front and go shorter towards the top.

26. Natural Curly Hairstyles for Men with Loose Afro-Textured Hair

27. Curly Comb Over with Fade

The curly comb overworks perfectly on wavy, thick hair – even better than on straight hair as curls have a lot more natural volume.ย Use yourย fingers to style the hair to one side and add hair waxย for extra hold and shine. The look has a very 20s & 30s feel to it – but one kept in place by the faded sides.

30. Very Short Cropped Afro-Textured Hair

Short cropped hair is in and will likely never actually go out of style. Keep your hair short or very short, curly, and finely chopped uniformly all around the sides of the head. This is also a very clean-shaved look that works perfectly well without any facial hair either.

39. Hanging Short to Mid-Length Curly Hairstyles for Men

This hanging locks hairstyle is perfect for any man with long hair that wants to go just a little bit shorter. Just be aware that coiled curly hair takes considerable more length to hang down so keep that in mind when cutting it (or letting it grow).

40. Voluminous Curly Hair – Afro-Style

If the hairbrush does not scare you or you’d rather just forget about it, grow your curls long and wear them in this ultra-long, afro-like, lion’s mane look. If you get too hot, you can always opt for a manly ponytail.

41. Loose Curly Hairstyles for Men

Perfect for laid-back men, the key to getting this look is by keeping those effortless, bed-head inspired curls in place – this means minimal styling in the mornings and less frequent brushing. Still, it would be a good idea to use at least some styling products – at least to keep the hair moisturized.

42. Long Wavy and Curly Rebel Hair

For fuss-free, almost maintenance-free hair, just let your strand grow long and wavy. Allow it to grow out naturally and only trim it whenever it gets too long. Depending on the curl pattern, longer hair can also mean a straighter one too, so keep that in mind as well.

43. Long Side Bangs with Curly Hair and Blue Tips

Long bangs can be just as big of a challenge as curly hair because they can constantly get curled up the wrong way and in the reverse direction. Still, they can be easier to sport if styled to the side. Also, make them stand out by dyeing the tips blue for an ultra-rebel touch.

49. Curly Fohawk Hairstyle

52. Basic Medium Length Dreads with Beard

53. Messy Side Brushed Hair with Sideburns and Scruff

Such a mess, but such great style. The scruffy beard honestly turns this look from a high-school ‘no care in the world‘ type of look to a charming guy type.

54. Wavy Mess with Faded Sideburns and Two-Point Goatee

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has a very interesting look in this photo as besides his red-brown hair color, the other thing that really springs to attention is the two-points goatee. Notice also that the curls go all the way back and low in a style that could easily resemble and grow out to become a mullet cut.

55. Front Fringe Afro-Textured Hair with Beard

This look is kinda classic but less common and frequent these days so why not bring it back and make it bang!

56. Coiled Mohawk with Precise Fade and Pinstripe Sideburns + Trimmed Beard

Probably one of the coolest curly hairstyles for men on this list. Really, really nice but more of an event hair than your actual day-to-day hairstyle – that’s because this is a high-maintenance look.

57. Short Waves with High Cut Sideburns

Dream boy here has probably the most… erm, dreamy hairstyle on this list. The short-ish waves combined with the no beard look and very high cut sideburns make the style appear more high-school appropriate, but in a good way.

58. Straight Top with Creased Peaks

This look is as natural as it can get with the creased peaks that add volume and help highlight the jawline. The hair can also easily be arranged simply by putting it behind the ears.

59. The Layered Wavy Shag

Keep a haircut for men with curly hair in place by adding in some layers. Curls create a volume which at times can be difficult to handle so the layers will help tame the spirals and create a stylish look.

60. Creative Electric Blue Fringe

This creative approach to curly dyed hair can be a good idea for a strong personality. It is also a hairstyle that can be. easily replicated by guys who have straight hair as well but in any and all cases, it will require patience and time to obtain.

61. Extra Messy Short Curly Haircut

The shorter the curl locks, the easier it will be to deal with. Leave at least 8 inches on top to play around with. If you donโ€™t want too much styling, go for an even shorter version.

      Hi, Louis! There are several kinds of hairstyles that would work for your hair type.

      If you want a medium-long one, we recommend a shaggy haircut or a flow hairstyle. They’re both pretty effortless and work for your thick texture, and you can choose to wear them with or without bangs for your high hairline. Find inspiration for both here: Shag Haircuts for Men and Flow Hairstyle for Men

      If you’re looking for something shorter, a taper fade haircut will help you skip daily styling. You can keep the top part as short or long as you’d like (ideas here: Taper Fade Haircuts for Men).

      We hope this helps, good luck!
