1. The Classic Pompadour: Timeless Elegance

The pompadour is a classic haircut that looks really cool. It's neat and fancy, perfect for grooms who want to look polished. This style works great if you have thick hair and a square or oval face. The pompadour has been popular for a long time, even back when Elvis was singing! Here's how to get this look:

• Ask your barber to cut the sides shorter and leave the top longer, about 3-4 inches on top
• Use strong hair gel to sweep your hair back and up, making it look big and tall
• Finish with hairspray to keep your hair in place all day
• You can ask for a slight taper on the sides to make it look more modern

Remember, the key to a great pompadour is making it look big and tall. Don't be shy with the hair gel! Blow-drying your hair before styling can help make it look even bigger. Check out our guide for guys with thick hair to learn more about styling your pompadour.

2. Modern Quiff: Contemporary Charm

The modern quiff is a cool new take on an old style. It's perfect for grooms who want to look a bit edgy but still nice for a wedding. This style works for many face shapes and hair types. Here's how to get the look:

• Keep the sides short, with longer hair on top, about 2-4 inches long
• Use a hair dryer and round brush to make your hair look big and textured, pushing it up and slightly back
• Use hair paste to make it look natural and messy in a cool way
• Try styling the quiff in different directions to see what looks best on you

The quiff looks great for both fancy and casual weddings. It'll look awesome in photos from all angles! If you have thin hair, try using a special powder at the roots to make your quiff look bigger and stay in place longer.

3. Textured Crop: Effortless Style

If you want a hairstyle that's easy to manage, the textured crop is great. This style is all about making your natural hair look good with just a little bit of styling. It's especially good for guys with thicker hair or those who want a relaxed, modern look for their wedding day. Here's how to get this style:

• Ask for short hair on the back and sides, with slightly longer hair on top, about 1-2 inches long
• Have your barber cut the hair in a way that makes it look textured and moveable
• Use a small amount of hair clay or paste to make the texture stand out
• You can use a light sea salt spray to make your hair look a bit messy, like you just came from the beach

The textured crop is perfect if you want to look good without trying too hard. It's great for outdoor or beach weddings where it might be windy or humid. This style also works well if your hairline is receding, as the textured top can be styled forward to make your forehead look smaller.

4. Slicked Back: Sophisticated Allure

The slicked-back style looks really fancy and is perfect for formal weddings. It works well if you have straight or wavy hair and can look good with different face shapes. Here's how to get this look:

• Keep the sides shorter, with longer hair on top, about 3-5 inches long
• Use strong hair gel on damp hair, making sure to spread it evenly
• Comb your hair straight back, making it smooth and neat
• Use hairspray to keep it in place all day
• For a modern twist, you can make a slight part on one side or leave the top a bit messy



This style looks great with a neat beard. If you have a beard, make sure to groom it too. Use beard oil to keep it soft and shape it to match your slicked-back hair. If you have thin hair, use a special mousse before slicking it back to make it look thicker.

5. Textured Fade: Blend of Modern and Classic

The textured fade is a cool mix of new and old styles. It's a haircut that can work for different wedding types and personal tastes. This cut looks good on most hair types and face shapes. Here's how to get this look:

• Ask for a fade on the sides, where the hair gets longer as it goes up
• Keep the top longer, about 2-3 inches, and ask your barber to make it look textured
• Style with hair product that doesn't make your hair shiny, using your fingers to make it look messy in a cool way
• Try different fade heights to see what looks best on you



The great thing about the textured fade is that you can style it different ways. You can keep it messy for a beach wedding or slick it back for a fancy event. This makes it a good choice if you want a hairstyle that can look different from the wedding ceremony to the party afterwards. You can also ask your barber to add a cool design or line in the fade to make it more unique.

6. Natural Curls: Embracing Your Texture

If you have curly hair, it's time to show it off! Embracing your natural curls can make you look stylish and true to yourself. Here's how to make your curls look great for your wedding:

• Get a haircut that works with your curl pattern about 4-6 weeks before the wedding
• Use special products to make your curls look defined and reduce frizz
• Try a light hair gel or mousse to keep your curls in place without making them stiff
• Don't touch your hair too much on your wedding day to keep it looking good
• If you have longer curls, you can try putting half of your hair up and leaving half down

Remember, curls that have enough moisture look the best. Start using deep conditioner a few weeks before the wedding to make your curls look their best. If you have very tight curls, you can try twisting or braiding your hair the night before to make your curls look more defined.

7. Short and Neat: Minimalist Perfection

Sometimes, a simple haircut is the best. A short and neat haircut can be perfect if you like a clean, easy-to-manage look. This style works for any hair type and looks especially good on round or square faces. Here's how to get this look:

• Ask for short hair all over, using a #3 to #5 clipper size, with the sides slightly shorter
• Keep the top a bit longer, about 1-1.5 inches, so you can style it a little
• Use a small amount of styling cream or wax to make it look neat
• You can ask for a subtle fade on the sides to make it look more modern
• If you want, you can ask your barber for a short side part or a subtle design in your hair

This style is great because it's simple and easy to take care of. It's perfect for weddings in hot places or outdoor ceremonies because it doesn't need much styling and stays neat all day. If your hair is thinning, this style can make it look thicker by keeping it short and neat.

8. Textured Medium Length: Versatile Charm

If you have longer hair, a textured medium-length style can be a great choice. This look gives you lots of styling options and works well for most hair types. Here's how to make it work for your wedding day:



• Keep the sides shorter, with longer hair on top and in the back, about 3-5 inches long
• Ask your barber to add layers and texture to make it look natural
• Use sea salt spray or texturizing product to make your hair look more defined
• Style with your fingers for a natural look, or use a comb to make it neater
• Try parting your hair different ways to see what looks best with your face shape

This style can work for different types of weddings. You can slick it back for a fancy event, or leave it messier for a relaxed, beach wedding look. You can change how you style it from the wedding ceremony to the party afterwards, giving you different looks for photos and different parts of your big day.

9. The Undercut: Bold Statement

If you want a hairstyle that really stands out, the undercut is a bold choice. This style has short sides with longer hair on top, creating a cool contrast. It works best for straight or wavy hair and can show off your personality on your wedding day. Here's how to get this look:



• Ask for very short sides and back, with longer hair on top, usually 3-5 inches long
• Decide how big you want the difference between the short and long parts to be
• Style the top how you like - slicked back for a neat look, messy for a casual style, or combed over for a classic appearance
• Use strong hair product to keep the longer top hair in place all day
• You can ask for a hard part or cool design to make it even more unique

The undercut is versatile and can be customized to fit your style. Just make sure it matches the overall look of your wedding! For a formal look, keep the top neatly slicked back. For a modern, edgy vibe, leave the top messy and textured.

10. Beard Grooming: The Perfect Complement

If you have a beard, making it look good is just as important as your haircut for your wedding day. A well-groomed beard can make any hairstyle look even better. Here are some tips for making your beard look great:

• Trim and shape your beard a few days before the wedding
• Use beard oil to keep it soft and shiny
• Consider getting a professional beard trim for the best results
• Match your beard style to your haircut and wedding style
• Use good beard care products, including a beard brush or comb to keep it neat



Remember, your beard is just as important as your hair for your wedding day look. A well-groomed beard can make your face look great and add a cool touch to your appearance. If your beard grows patchy or uneven, consider keeping it short and neatly trimmed for a clean look.
