African Men Hairstyles 2021

Here are just a few of what you'll get.
There are so many options for these fresh styles from close cropped waves to natural twists to geometric flat tops with retro flair.
Most of these styles are a combination of texture on top, a line up and taper fade. Create your own unique style by choosing length on top, type of curls and the placement of the fade. For something extra, add a surgical line or hair design.
From a short buzz to long curls and everything in between, here are 22 cool haircuts for black men.
1. Waves Low Fade
With waves, a line up and blurry fade, this cool short haircut has a lot going on. The beard is also shaped for a clean cut finish.
2. 360 Waves
When a short buzz isn’t enough, 360 waves add plenty of dimension. This version expertly carves waves so they work with hairs whorl and land just right along the forehead.
3. High – Low Fade
With a buzz keeping curls tight up top, this high-low fade raises the hairline dramatically.
4. Short Hair Low Taper
This fresh cut has just enough length to create a rounded profile. The skin fade follows the same arc while a line up defines the forehead.
5. Deeper Waves
Spinner waves look excellent at any length. Take care of those waves with conditioner and regular combing with a wave brush.
6. Short Hair Burst Fade
This fresh cut has just enough length to look retro. Keep it tight with short sides and a burst fade.
7. Edge Up High – Low Fade
This short cut has just enough length to see some kinky curly texture. The edge up arcs directly into the beard but is interrupted by a low skin fade.
8. Short Sponge Twists
This is the same cut as the last one but with more length and a touch of sponge twists at the top.
9. Fade Surgical Line
This fresh style is all about geometry and gets extra detail from a surgical line that runs parallel to the tape up.
10. Hi-Lo Fade Solid Line
Another cool style with even more length on top plus color. The sides feature a hi-low skin fade emphasized by a waving line.
11. Frohawk Color
Keion Carpenter, formerly a defensive back with the Atlanta Falcons, rocks a cool cut and bold color. It’s a short frohawk accented with golden tips.
12. Curls Temple Fade
This cool cut is a modern update on the retro fro. It’s shorter but still has that signature rounded profile. The edges are cool and clean with an edge up and temple fade.
13. Taper Solid Line
This dope cut combines loose curls on top with a cool fade around the sides and back. Hair tapers from thick down to the skin and is accented by a thick diagonal slash.
14. Twist Curls Surgical Part
This cool cut for black hair extends the hairline into an arced part that also divides long hair from short.
15. Curls Temple Fade
A temple fade and rounded neckline clean up the edges of this medium length curly cut.
