Haircuts for Men with Medium-Length Hair: Discover Experts' Recommendations

For a long time, medium-length hair for men was considered an intermediate phase, adopted mainly by men between two barber visits or by those who consciously chose to let their hair grow. Over time, as more and more celebrities adopted medium cuts for men, these styles became increasingly popular, and barbers everywhere began specializing in creating them. 

Moreover, medium-length hair offers a range of advantages over short and even long hair, as it is particularly easy to style, meaning your clients will have access to a wider variety of hairstyles. Of course, when choosing a hairstyle that suits your client together, you will need to consider aspects like the hair length, its density, the type of hair (straight or curly/wavy), and also the shape of the client's face. Fortunately, we have already provided you with a perfect hairstyle guide! 

What does a barber mean by medium-length hair for men?

Medium haircuts for men are slightly different from those typically for women. So, for a man's hair length to be described as medium, it should be between four and ten centimeters. Practically, as a barber, you will have more styling options compared to short or long hair. 

The most popular cuts for medium male hair and how to achieve them

Here are the most trendy cuts for men with medium hair and which hair care equipment or products you can use!

Surfer style cut

This style is especially suitable for men whose hair length is closer to the upper limit I mentioned earlier. It is usually preferred by men who like casual-looking hairstyles, with naturally wavy hair being an advantage. However, a skilled barber can achieve the same effect even on straight hair, with the help of, for example, pomade. 

Brush cut 

Another style that relies on a slightly tousled look, the brush cut often goes along with hair bleaching or dyeing. The barber will just need to layer the hair at levels, with layers so short that they create the appearance of tips. To achieve the desired effect, hair gel will be used.  

Side part hairstyle

This is a classic hairstyle that will hardly fall out of favor with men, being associated with the business world or students from the most recognized universities in the world. The hair will be short on the sides and back, making it suitable for most faces, regardless of shape. For a more pronounced part, marked down to the skin, a hair clipper can be used. This style pairs perfectly with a well-maintained beard, so learn how to take care of your beard.

Pompadour style cut

This cut is achieved by keeping the hair longer at the front and gradually shortening it toward the back. Although at first glance it seems difficult to maintain and style, the process is very simple if the right care products are used. From this also derives the Quiff style, with slightly shorter hair on the sides and back. The effect can be achieved with the help of a fade cut. 

Undercut hairstyle

Perhaps the most practical cut for medium male hair, the undercut style involves shaving or cutting the hair very short on the sides and sometimes the back, similar to the Mohawk style. The top of the hair can be styled according to preferences: slicked back, gathered in a bun, and so on. 

Make sure to use the right tools and don't forget to consult with the client to ensure the final result will be as desired!
