Posted on Instagram by @James_BeaumontIf you love a more professional look, a medium-length hairstyle with a side part is a great look. If you have naturally thick hair, this cut will require minimal styling. But, if you've got thinning locks, you'll need to apply a thickening hair product and style with a blow-dryer to achieve the desired volume.Instagram:dennisgraciaMost men go for some variation of the short sides long top haircut. It's easy to style and can be customized to work for all face shapes and hair types. For instance, if you've got a round face shape, you'll want to go super short on the sides - like a skin fade or a high fade - and go longer on top. Style the top to achieve lots of volume. Each of these steps will make your face appear longer. However, if you've got a long face already, you may want to try slicking the top back.

You can use your favorite products to style a Caesar haircut, whether it's a matte hair clay or a pomade with a bit of shine. To get the purposefully-messy, tousled look, try a texturizing dry shampoo on the top layers of your hair and comb through with your fingers.

However, you'll want to make sure to get the sides cleaned up before attempting this style. We recommend straying away from the slicked-back look if you have thin hair or a receding hairline as it will only draw in more attention.Instagram:hairstyle.hubThis men's haircut is another variation of the short sides long top haircut. It is styled with a firm-hold hair product to keep strands in place and provide a matte finish. On days you aren't feeling like sporting the tousled look, you can always use a pomade with more shine to slick it back.

This popular men's haircut, however, is our favorite look on him. It's long and volumized on the top (with the help of a blowdryer, round brush, and volumizing pomade.

The silver fox look is no longer just a hairstyle for older men - it's a fashion trend. While going platinum, silver, or gray may feel like a giant risk, it's one worth taking considering the number of celebrities who have made it work this year (think: Adam Levine, Justin Bieber, and now Zac Efron). Try using a blonde shampoo to enhance silver tones by removing brassiness.
