Do you wish to preserve your short hair to keep your look clean and neat? You're not alone. Many men revel in their short hair, displaying their most handsome form of themselves. However, if you're new to this, you may not know how to style your short hair properly.

Fortunately, there are plenty of hairstyle options out there for short hair! In this article, we're going to share a few hairstyles for short hair that you can try out:

The Quiff Hairstyle

Not a big fan of a fringe? Don't worry. The quiff is here to save the day! With the quiff, you can give your hair the air it needs to pull out that retro yet professional look. Presented and popularized by the world-famous Elvis Presley, the quiff has become the go-to for many men out there. The best thing about this is that the quiff is quite a versatile hairstyle, meaning you can make changes here and there to fit your look.

Achieving the look: Now, to style your hair to the quiff, you will need a mousse and spread it all over your hair. After that, set your hair dryer to medium and then blow your hair on any side. As soon as it is dry, apply some wax, clay, or pomade. Apply it to the top of the hair, slowly working from the back to the front. From here on out, it is up to you. You can either keep your hairstyle neat or make it a little "messy" to add a little more style.

The Pompadour Hairstyle

If you want a take on the quiff hairstyle that takes it to a whole new level, the pompadour is the way to go. Also called the pomp, it is like the quiff, albeit much longer on the side and back. Men with short hair can still pull off the pomp hairstyle, although it’s a little more muted than those with longer hair. Of course, this might be what you're looking for, as the pomp we used to know may not bode well for any man trying to use it today.

Achieving the look: To pull off a more modern pomp hairstyle, wash your hair thoroughly. After that, towel dry it, then apply some pre-styling product. Follow it up with a blow-dry to the side you look best, and then use a cream or pomade and run it through your hair until it is textured.

The High-and-Tight Hairstyle

If the above hairstyles seem just too complicated for you, and you want something easy to do, especially when you are in a hurry, the high and tight is what you need. Just shave the side of your head and leave the top portion longer.

Achieving the look: To style your hair this way, cover your fingers with a styling product and then apply it to your crown, slowly moving to the back. Follow it up with a comb to comb the hair back, and then use your hands to move the hair around until it is just right!

Conclusion

These are just some of the many hairstyles you can use to maximize your short hair. They look great on just about anyone, and if you've never tried any of the above, we highly recommend that you give them away.
