Men’s Hairstyles to Try for the Winter Months

Winter is the season when trees shed their leaves, people reflect on the year gone by, and we begin crafting mental lists of changes and resolutions for the year ahead. Beauty content starts to transition, celebrating winter-inspired looks—not just in fashion and makeup, but in reimagining our winter mane!

In this article, we’ll dive in head first on the best hairstyles for men to end the year on, from modernized looks from the 70s, 80s, and more to how to maintain a trendy hairstyle and a winter mane.

Embracing all hair types

Whether you have soft curls, wavy hair, or combination texture hair––both curly and straight sections, understanding your hair type is the first act in planning winter hairstyling. Winter’s cold weather can strip away moisture, leaving wavy hair dry and vulnerable to lackluster woes.

A weekly hair mask will help retain the natural sheen and bring our voluminous hair. Regular trims are essential—those small, precise snips that keep the ends sharp and split ends at bay, making even the simplest cut look like an improved, polished style.

Naturally curly waves

Embracing your natural curly or wavy hair will be more effortless when you discover which hair products enhance your natural curls. Using a curl cream or nourishing hair oil will enhance curls and minimize dryness.

Curls can often be spotted in contemporary hair trends. Many celebrity men, from Jason Momoa to Jeremy Allen White, let their curls loose.

Textured crop

This season, there’s a noticeable trend towards the textured crop: a popular haircut that balances structure with a carefree, disheveled aesthetic, showing off textured hair.

Add volume to your natural wave by applying mousse at the root of your hair while it is still damp. Try lightweight creams and oil sprays, lending definition without weighing down your natural bounce.

Look for a curl-defining product to bring on the go that you can use daily.

Smooth side part

A smooth side part is a timeless style, often defined by a sharp, clean line created with a comb and a hair product to maintain a sleek hold. This classic look was famously worn by Don Draper, played by Jon Hamm in the hit TV series Mad Men, and Clark Kent, portrayed by Christopher Reeve in Superman. Both embodied the old-time charm and polished sophistication that a smooth side part exudes.

The subtle mullet

Celebrity men like Harry Styles are undoubtedly influencers of men’s fashion. Whether Styles is sporting a bun style, loose long curls, a messy fringe, or the now trendy mini mullet, he sets the tone for what’s in, inspiring the masses to adopt his hair trend.

Austin Butler is another celeb embracing the mini mullet style—a modern twist featuring loose curls on top and along the nape of the neck.

The buzz cut

Going from a messy fringe to a buzz cut can feel truly transformative. Many have embraced the buzz cut to redefine their style. Not only is it a bold statement, but a buzz cut can also feel cathartic during winter, offering a fresh perspective on your appearance and highlighting a different kind of attractiveness.

Daily maintenance tips

Cold weather requires a thoughtful approach to styling. A daily maintenance routine involving hydrating products, like leave-in conditioners or nourishing natural oils, helps fend off dry hair that commonly occurs in winter.

Opt for a medium setting on the hair dryer. Too much heat can compromise the natural texture that makes your locks unique.

Conclusion

As winter season sets in, it’s the perfect time to rethink your look and find hairstyles for winter that fit the season’s vibe. This winter season, play with embracing your hair textures and look at styles that complement your look and boost your confidence, like the textured crop or the classic French crop.

There are all sorts of great winter hairstyles out there for both men and women. The ideal hair is healthy and gives you confidence.

Speak to a hairstylist about how to perfect the messy, natural texture style with hair products like mousse, gel, and leave-in conditioner.

A barber can help manicure your facial hair, framing your face and adding warmth that gives your winter look a touch of rugged elegance.
