Faux Hawk to Burr Haircut
Rob Loud and Stephen Shugerman for Getty Images
A new haircut can make a big impact on a guy’s look, so you might want to see what men’s look like haircuts before and after.
Adam Levine shows he can work just about any look well—from a spiky faux hawk style, to a burr haircut. The longer style gives him a trendier look, while the burr shows a more rugged side.

For this style, actor Nicholas Hoult (from Skins and the movie A Single Man) shows great versatility—from a boyish shag haircut, to a classic crewcut, which highlights his features much better.

Sometimes, the best haircut is to just get rid of it altogether. This model’s coarse hair is seemingly difficult to style and shape. The burr, instead, shows off his outstanding features, and changes the focus from his hair to his face.

This model’s hair has wonderful texture, and it seems a shame to buzz it off. But the two styles show just how much difference a haircut makes. Both are good for face-framing, but the short layer gives him a trendy, contemporary look. The butch and facial scruff, in turn, would be well suited to an active lifestyle requiring a low-maintenance style.

Zac Efron has come a long way since his High School Musical days. He rose to fame with a long shag haircut, but rocked his hair short for a long time.

Shag Haircut

High School Musical star Zac Efron’s signature shag haircut worked well with his at-the-time facial features. A razor is used to give styles like this a shattered, shaggy look. A small amount of styling cream controls fly-aways, and adds separation.

Short Haircut

Fortunately, as Efron has matured, so has his haircut. This style is scissor cut short on the sides and back and left longer on top. The style can be worn loose as shown or styled neatly for a more formal look.

For this hairstyle, Zac Efron’s hair is clipped aggressively short on the sides and back and left finger length on top. A natural taper is created at the nape of the neck.

Trendy to Buzzed
This model borderline looks like two different guys. The longer, separated style showcases a youthful, trendy side; the short buzzcut gives a more mature edge.

Short Layer to Butch
This model’s hair has wonderful texture, and it seems a shame to buzz it off. But the two styles show just how much difference a haircut makes. Both are good for face-framing, but the short layer gives him a trendy, contemporary look. The butch and facial scruff, in turn, would be well suited to an active lifestyle requiring a low-maintenance style.

Spiky Layers to Faux Hawk
For this model, the spiky layer cut is a fun, youthful option where the hair is the focus. His short faux hawk draws the eye down to the face, and looks better.

Layer to Long Buzz
Either style works well for this model’s oval face shape. The longer, layered cut gives him more styling options. Still, the shorter buzz highlights his face and provides a low-maintenance option.

Zac Efron has come a long way since his High School Musical days. He rose to fame with a long shag haircut, but rocked his hair short for a long time.

High School Musical star Zac Efron’s signature shag haircut worked well with his at-the-time facial features. A razor is used to give styles like this a shattered, shaggy look. A small amount of styling cream controls fly-aways, and adds separation.

Short Haircut
Fortunately, as Efron has matured, so has his haircut. This style is scissor cut short on the sides and back and left longer on top. The style can be worn loose as shown or styled neatly for a more formal look.

For this hairstyle, Zac Efron’s hair is clipped aggressively short on the sides and back and left finger length on top. A natural taper is created at the nape of the neck.

Short Shag to Buzzcut
The Amazing Spider Man’s Chris Zylka gave us a great example of how a haircut can change a guy’s looks. Chris went from a short, textured shag haircut to a one-length all over buzzcut. The latter, like any short cut, brings more attention to his face.
