L'uomo by Paul Gehring for ALCINA
Undercuts, curls, and adventurous fringes are in store for the fashionable man this season. Men's hair fashion is thriving with new takes on old classics and refined styles that are highly creative and masculine. Low side parts are a major design element, along with a fine balance between control and allowing the hair to flow naturally.
Men's hair colors remain grounded in shades of blonde, brown, and black but include playful and effective applications of light and dark shades to enhance the look. To up the ante even more, each style comes with alternative styling suggestions. Versatility is in!

Wet-Look Curls for Men
Sporty short curls are enhanced with a little gel to give him that fresh-out-of-the-water look. The longest layer reaches from the top to his deep fringe. From there, the hair is layered at a steep angle.
A short neckline and abundant springy texture throughout make this a perfect cut for active men with natural curls. Just wash, ruffle through, and go. Check out the next image for an alternative styling option.
Abundant Curls
Without any wet-look product, the curls in his layered cut spring to full volume. The importance of the layers becomes even more evident, as they control the shape and keep things manageable, light, and balanced.
The long fringe and short neck are seamlessly connected by the angled sides. His hair color is a natural blonde with slightly darker accents in the back and underneath. It's a natural and sunny look, paired with a neatly groomed short beard.
Stylish Undercut for Men
This cut is as versatile as it gets, infused with extreme style from follicle to tips. The magic lies in the super short undercut on the sides, while the top hair boasts a generous length of at least a couple of inches, shortening gradually from the forehead to the neck.
The cut also features a crisp part between the sections of differing lengths. Here, the top hair is lifted and styled into a retro quiff that falls in a soft, fluid flow toward the back. See the photos below for other angles of this stylish look.
Classic Cut
He's serious about his look, using the latest trends to bring out his best features. The shape of a classic men's haircut is transformed by a section with a very short undercut right before the ear, connected to his groomed sideburns.
Undercut with a Beard
This neat beard seems to go on forever, matching the length of his short undercut hair, both connected by his sideburns. The top hair, separated by a clean line, is significantly longer and styled smoothly from front to back. This look also features some interesting color effects.
Subtle strands of medium-light, reddish blonde run through his brown hair and are naturally reflected in his beard. See below for more angles of this masculine, super-cool style!
Side-Part with Undercut
The fringe is long enough to tuck behind one ear, and that’s not the only surprise in this gorgeous men's haircut. Simplicity meets finesse, all in a radiant hair color that's almost natural. A light reddish tint in his beard repeats itself in small strands through his hair.
Everything about this look is smooth and sleek, blending classic style with modern attitude in its fine details.
Sleek Top
Modern fashion warriors wear their hair with undercuts, and this versatile design lets him change his look whenever he wants with just a comb. The top hair is long enough to cover the undercut section on the side, styled toward the back in a sweeping curve. Everything seems to be in motion.
Sleek and Tamed
The length of his hair offers great styling opportunities. He can wear it wild and free or go posh and controlled with a bit of styling product. The vintage feel of this ruggedly styled hairdo is both seductive and trendy.
"Contemporary tradition" defines this look, accentuated by a modern makeover of his bow tie accessory.
Full Curls for Men
Dark, Latin-style curls cast a mysterious shadow over his eyes with a low-sitting fringe. The sides are short enough to reveal the ears, while the neck is practical and short. All the power is in the front, and with a little curl-enhancing gel, this look will last him all day and night.
