Classic: One of the biggest trends for black men in 2011 is short hair with a very square shape. This hairstyle is a throwback to the looks that dominated the 1950s, but supersharp lines and minimal volume keep everything modern. Check out Jon Jones’ cut for an example of how to do this style right, then head to your barber and request a cut of a uniform length that’s cropped quite close to your scalp, explaining that you want your hair to form a straight line across your forehead and also down the sides. An additional benefit of this cut is that it will make your face appear more masculine.
Trendy: Have fun with this hairstyle by personalizing it. Ask your barber to use a razor to add asymmetrical lines to the cut (the more asymmetrical, the edgier). Alternatively, take the look to the extreme by cutting it super short.
