Guys, if you feel that your haircut doesn’t give you any options when you are exploring short hairstyles, then you might want to consider checking out the tapered haircut. A tapered haircut is a cut where the hair is longer at the top, and then the hair around the perimeter is shorter. The difference between the long hair on the top of your head and the hair on the sides and back is done gradually. Think of it as long hair that slowly becomes shorter on your head without resulting in a full, shaven fade. The tapered haircut is sometimes known as a tapered fade haircut. Like the classic tapered haircut, the tapered fade haircut works with all hair types and face shapes. This cut is a bit longer on top, and the sides are left a bit longer too. Another iteration of the tapered haircut is the quiff. Tapered haircuts can be worn by any face shape and hair type. Best of all, they’re low-maintenance and are a classic look that works on a myriad of hair types.
Classic and Versatile: The Core Concept
The classic tapered haircut is a clean-looking short hairstyle. Have your barber cut the hair on your head about one to two inches long and the sides and back shorter. The sides and back should be tapered (or layered), short, and clean.
Variants to Fit Hair Type and Occasion
If you’re dealing with thinning hair, say hello to the quiff. It’s a cut that’s rockabilly and a bit retro-cool, but it can also be worn to work. The secret is the height of the hair in front: Tell your barber that you want a tapered haircut where the top is two to three inches long on top. That way, you can play with the front, making it high as you want or slicking it back for a different look altogether. To style, blow-dry hair until damp.
Amp up the quiff tapered haircut with volume up front. This tapered haircut is a Hollywood and runway favorite. You can style the front high, you can style it messy, or you can slick it back. If you have your barber make the top four to five inches long, you can even create a man bun and keep your tapered haircut neat on the sides and back. To create a messy-looking amped quiff that stays in place, use AXE Urban Messy Look: Flexible Paste.
Tapered haircut with a messy fringe. For guys who want to minimize a wide forehead or prefer an edgier look, try getting a tapered haircut with fringe. The fringe, or bangs, should not go straight across the forehead as it turns a tapered haircut into a bowl cut. Naturally, wavy hair would look great with fringe that shows off its waves.
Release the curls! Guys with curly hair opt for a classic taper that’s a bit long on top, so curls can be easily styled.
Give the tapered haircut the wet look for a night out. Match a classic cut with classic products. The wet-look tapered haircut, sometimes called the slicked-back hairstyle, combines the ’90s and what’s hot now. It’s a look that says you’re in command of everything (yes, even your cowlicks).
Change it up! Not into a swoop, but like a good ol’ side part? Try the classic tapered haircut and wear the front combed to one side.
Short dreadlocks keep things fresh. The classic style meets edgy hipster in this combo look. Go edgy with a long front tapered haircut. It’s sporty, it’s edgy, and it’s fun. Guys who have pin-straight hair, this look is for you. Tell your barber that you want the classic taper on the sides and back. For the top (front), you want five to six inches in length.
Feeling dangerous? Simply style the top of your hair into spikes. You can go mild or wild and create a fauxhawk. Our weapon of choice is Bed Head for Men by TIGI Matte Separation Workable Wax.

A well-blended taper makes your look more cohesive. No list of short hairstyles for men would be complete without a short cut + beard combo.
Практические инструкции по уходу и стилю
- Определите желаемый баланс длины между верхом и боками: верх обычно длиннее, стороны и затылок - короче, но не выбритые.
- Уточните у барбера степень плавности перехода: плавный переход дает более естественный вид, резкий переход - более современный стиль.
- Для tócс с тонкими волосами выбирайте фен и подушку для придания объема перед сушкой вверх и вперед.
- Используйте подходящие средства: пасты и воски с матовым финишем подходят для повседневных образов, глянцевые - для вечерних.
- Регулярно подстригайте кончики, чтобы сохранить форму и чистый контур.
Варианты для конкретных текстур
- Прямые волосы: держать верх 4-6 дюймов для возможности укладки в разные стороны.
- Вьющиеся волосы: оставить больше объема на макушке и мягко выложить фронт, чтобы подчеркнуть природную текстуру.
- Тонкие волосы: избегать слишком длинной макушки, чтобы не утяжелять образ; добавьте volume у корней.
Смешанные варианты и детали оформления могут включать минимальное оформление бороды, которое подчеркивает аккуратный силуэт стрижки, а классическая tapered fade прекрасно сочетается с четкими линиями.
