Black Mens Haircut Trends Dominating 2025

One of the many beauties of 3/4 textured hair is its versatility. That's why Black men have so many choices when it comes to haircuts. Whether you wish to show off a boldly stylized Afro, a short fade, or any combination, the sky is the limit to what you can do with your hair. For inspiration to bring to your next visit to the barbershop, here's Bleu Magazine's detailed guide to Black men's haircuts in 2025.

Creative Buzz Cut

If you have thinning hair or just want to keep things simple, a buzz cut is a perfect solution. However, your buzz can go beyond the basics, as the texture of 3/4 hair allows for more versatility for Black men. For example, your barber can create a curvy, wavy-hair design at the top while buzzing the rest of the hair into a slow fade.

Kinky Mohawk

Yes, Black men can enjoy a striking mohawk and have even more fun with it than the great Mr. T! You don't need to follow the traditional style and keep your sides completely bald. Let your barber meticulously fade both sides, while progressively drawing the cut upwards into a volume of coiled hair.

Whether you keep your hair in a natural Afro-like texture or define your curls with leave-in conditioner, this is a bold statement for haircuts of 2025.

Undercut With Curls

If you have lots of natural curly hair to work with but don't necessarily want a head full of it, consider combining your curls with an undercut. A typical undercut involves either completely shaving or closely buzzing the sides and back of the hair while leaving a volume of hair on top. Depending on your top style desire, you may have your barber taper the curls as they go up, or leave them long and switch up into an easy man-bun.

360 Waves Mid-Fade

Why stop at combining two haircut trends? Go the extra mile and put three together: a lineup, 360 waves, and a mid-fade. A mid-fade usually starts around the temples on the sides and back of the head, while the lineup sharply defines the hairline and sideburns.

To achieve the waves, make sure the barber doesn't taper the top. You want that part even to produce solid, consistent waves. Create and maintain a crisp, styled look by applying a product like a pomade and consistently brushing from the crown.
