31 Comb Over Hairstyles For Men

Comb over hairstyles have come back in style since Donald Draper donned the look in Mad Men. While many barbers refuse to call it a comb over and instead refer to the cut as a side part, the men’s comb over haircut has become immensely popular as celebrities, hipsters, and everyday professionals have transformed the hairstyle once reserved for balding or thin-haired men into the cool, modern comb over of today.

But with so many different types of comb over hairstyles, getting the best haircut for your hair type, face shape, and hair length can be tricky. Fortunately, whether you want a long or short hair comb over paired with a fade or undercut and hard part, comb overs are versatile enough for all men. For instance, the short hair comb over is perfect for business as a low-maintenance, easy hairstyle, while the long hair comb over offers volume, movement, and flow. Let’s take a closer look at the top side part hairstyles.

Here are the best comb over haircuts for men to get in 2019. As one of the best men’s hairstyles of the year, you’ll love these trendy comb over haircut styles.

Men’s Comb Over Haircuts

If you haven’t found a nice comb over to fit your style, you may not have been looking hard enough. Comb over styles vary a lot, allowing guys to truly make their haircut their own. For example, you have a choice between an undercut or taper fade on the sides. The short sides and long hair on top provide a sharp yet cool contrast that catches the eye. Plus, the comb over fade or undercut works perfectly with both short, medium and long hair.

Similarly, you may choose to accentuate the side you comb your hair to with a hard part. Or maybe you prefer to have some volume to your look, and want a spiky finish on top. The point is – you can do this cut any way you want and it will still look super hot.

How To Get A Comb Over Haircut

To get a comb over haircut, tell your barber you’d like to start parting your hair on the side. You can ask for a comb over fade, where the sides are tapered and the hair on top is long, or you can go for a more conservative, office-safe look and ask for short sides and an even longer top. The fade comb over can go as short as shaved sides or result in a taper.

While the low fade comb over seems to be a common variation, guys really have the choice of any type of taper fade – low, mid, high, or skin. These options offer versatility for other types of comb overs and hairstyles – short or medium length.

How To Do A Comb Over

To do a comb over, you will need to decide whether you want a neat or loose comb over. The neat look will give you a hard part and require a pomade to get that shiny, wet-looking finish; whereas the loose hairstyle provides more volume when styled with a blow dryer and matte-finish hair product.

Styling A Comb Over

To style the comb over, follow these steps.

1. Apply your styling product throughout your hair. We recommend pomade, wax or putty for a textured finish.
2. Then comb all your hair forward to find the natural part in your hair.
3. Now use that natural part to comb your hair down on the sides, and comb over the rest.
4. Remember that your hair doesn’t need to be combed straight to the side; you can comb it diagonally back or brush up your hair in the front to create a little lift.
