A taper haircut looks gorgeous on black men who want to style a top bun. Shortly trim the laterals and the back and go for an ear fade. Make sure you beautifully delimit the longer pieces from the crown from the shaved laterals. 

2. Caramel Thin Dreads

Are you tired of all those dull hairstyles? With this cut and dreadlocks, you will certainly get the attention you deserve. Define the edges with a razor and dye the locks into a caramel nuance. If you have a round face, a beard that highlights the jawline and covers the double chin will make your face look slimmer. 

3. Temple Fade

Why not emphasize those curls with a hairstyle that adds value to that gorgeous texture? Keep a long pointy beard and shave the sideburns and taper the temples to create a disconnection between the hairstyle and the facial hair. 

4. Low Side Fade

Low temple fades will help you draw all the attention to the crown hair.  If your hair is coarse and very dense, you might want to consider styling it with a sponge. Rub it on the tips, using circular movements.
