Cool haircut designs for men vary from simple shaved lines or a temple slash to more intricate patterns and even shaved-in pictures. Your unique haircut designs can come in lots of different interpretations. Here are some of the trendiest men’s haircut design types:

  • Lines (thin lines, hard lines, triple and double line solutions, straight lines, crossed, wave-shaped, curled)
  • Patterns (including Egyptian patterns, tribal designs, Versace design, as well as geometric patterns, etc.)
  • Pictures (often, hair designs with pictures have a deep meaning and are very individual; however, many pictures are just nice or funny pictures and have no message)
  • Color hair designs (this type has appeared recently and means a combination of shaved-in hair design with a touch of color; the color is usually sprayed over the sides, turning the graphic shaved lines into a bright painting)

All these haircut designs for men and even more are visualized in this guide. Scroll down to find the trendiest updates on shaved line designs.

Bird Hair Design

Bird Hair Design
@bfreshcutz

Hairstyles with shaved design are often considered a tabula rasa and a possibility to carve a meaningful detail, picture, or symbol. A bird can be depicted like this at the back of the head on top of the high fade haircut.

Geometric Hair Design

Geometric Hair Design
@seecarlcut

Geometric hair design doesn’t mean putting parallel and perpendicular lines only with equal spaces and synchronous elements. Let your barber play with the angles, triangles, and squares to construct your individual style at the back of the head.

Cube Hair Design with Man Bun

Cube Hair Design with Man Bun
Cube as well as any other geometric figure can stand as an individual piece of design on your faded head. As for the top, long hair is also compatible with shaved designs: you can wear it loose, in a ponytail, or wrap it into a slightly messy man bun.

Hair Design with Dreadlocks

@moohammad_hamze

Dreadlocks are another great option for men with long hair. While the fade haircut on the sides is refreshed with a hair tattoo, the thick black hair on top of the head is tamed with a low-maintenance protective style that doesn’t even require a single styling product to look good.

Lotus Flower

@modernhair_byjanae

Despite a lotus flower, shaved-in design has already become mainstream, it still keeps its popularity. Thus, what we recommend is to avoid that typical lotus design and try diversifying it with modern hair trends.

The Egyptian Style

The Egyptian Style
@drethebarba

Rather conservative and minimalistic, this Egyptian-inspired design will work magic with both short hair and long hair. Moreover, you can hardly find an outfit or occasion where this style is gonna be not appropriate or too much.

Tribal Artwork

@drethebarba

Tribal detailing can include ancient symbols and patterns. It’s a great idea to combine such hairstyles with random braids, dreadlocks, and authentic hair accessories.

Multiple Stars on the Back and Sides

@scizzahands__

Stars are another trivial and rather old idea in hairstyles with shaved design. Yes, they look cool indeed but if you wanna turn heads, you aren’t likely to impress somebody with a starry haircut design.

Caesar Cut with X Design

@iamthebarber132

This Caesar cut is obviously far away from classics. The shaved lines disconnect the haircut into several sections, a touch of a blonde makes the haircut brighter and more dimensional, and the eyebrow is also involved in all this double-line haircut fuss.

@moohammad_hamze

Wow wow wow! This bearded and braided undercut haircut with edgy shaved lines design is over the top! It is good for all hair types but definitely not for everyone (if you know what we mean).

Short Fade with Diamond Hair Tattoo

@scizzahands__
A diamond design is another example of an oldie but goldie touch-up for any haircut. Here, it freshens up a basic butch cut but you can replace it with any haircuts you like.

Beard Fade and Double Line Hair Design

Beard Fade and Double Line Hair Design
@iamthebarber132

What is unusual about this style is that the shaved lines are located in the beard area only instead of being spread along the sides and back of the head. Bear this trick in mind for your next barbershop visit.

@moohammad_hamze

The spraying colors trend is relatively new but it has deeply penetrated into the haircut designs as well. Those waves and color blends do need a professional touch but the result is absolutely worth all the fuss around.

High Volumed Top with Temple Fade

@iamthebarber132

Even when we deal with a tiny temple fade, there is a chance to diversify it with shaved-in design elements. The haircut shape in the picture visually elongates the face so it’s also a nice option for guys with round face shapes.

The shaved heart design is streamlined and accompanies the swept-back top section of longer hair in this undercut. Spread love and good vibes only with a temporary hair tattoo like this.

Mid Fade + Design Art

Mid Fade + Design Art
@kawaicat_salon

It’s not only skin fade that gradually blends into longer hair section, it’s also the blue color that gradually blends into dark brown and then into none. All this perfection is pierced with a small but meaningful double line that adds some pepper to the look.

Blurry Fade + Simple Lines

Blurry Fade + Simple Lines
@iamthebarber132

Simplicity is the key and haircuts like this are the best proof. However, to get this irresistible effect, your barber should work their best. The most essential thing is to keep the horizontal line echoing the side part, and the vertical lines should be parallel.

Buzz Cut with Colorful Triangle Hair Design

@moohammad_hamze

Are hair designs in style?
