Let’s be real. Short hair is just easier. You don’t have to worry about split ends as much. If you go super short, you don’t have to worry about styling it before you leave the house in the morning, either. And it always looks professional. It’s why the army prefers you keep your hair closely cropped.

But did you know that despite the lack of length, there are quite a few good-looking short hairstyles for men?

I, myself, prefer less length on my head. So, it’s nice to know that I have options. I can consider these options and do something special if I’m going on a date or to an important meeting. At the end of the day, I can also always fall back on the convenience of short locks. 

Extremely Short Hairstyles for Men

When I refer to extremely short hairstyles for men, I’m talking about ones that are close to the scalp. Many of these hairstyles are as close to bald as you can get. However, different fade styles and where you simulate parts can really allow you to personalize even the shortest crops.

Here are some examples.

Induction Cut

An induction cut is the middle ground between being bald and a buzzcut. It’s a uniform cut that’s so short that your hair is basically stubble on your head. It looks like a shadow of your hairline. If you’re a man who’s dramatically balding, I recommend an induction over a combover or toupee. It looks more confident.

Also known as a wiffle cut, a buzzcut is one in which the length of your hair is the same all over your head. It usually won’t be any longer than an inch. The shorter it is, the less likely your natural hair texture will show and the less maintenance it needs. After all, it’s not as if it’ll move in the wind.
