6) Classic Brush Up

If retro hairstyles are more your speed, consider this old school brush up. Unlike the brush up shown above, this haircut is clean and uniform. The hair is brushed straight up and styled into place.

Combine that with a high fade, and you get a classic, almost military-inspired cut. However, the subtle waves in the hair add just the right amount of texture.

7) Straight Fringe

Stylish variations on the straight fringe and bowl cut have become popular lately, and this hairstyle is one example that looks great with red hair. It may technically be a bowl cut, but it’s not the one from your childhood. Clean lines and a high fade make this one of the most fashionable bowl cuts out there.

More subtly, the hair on top is styled forward for texture. Without this texture, the hair could look flat, so it’s an important part of the style. Because this cut is so short and easy to manage, it’s a great hairstyle for coarse red hair for men.

8) Side Swept Pomp

A variation on the traditional pompadour, this hairstyle uses a side part to create an asymmetrical pomp that’s swept to the side. As you can see here, this hairstyle looks especially striking with bright red hair that borders on orange, but it of course looks good with all shades.

This is a bolder style, but it’s still pretty conservative, so it’s a good choice for school and even many work environments. You can even opt for a hard part, as shown here, where the barber or stylist shaves a part line into the hair. It’s an optional bit of flair, but if it suits your style, why not go for it?

9) Tall Pompadour

Wrapping up our list is this high-volume pompadour that uses a higher shine product for a more traditionally shiny look. This is also more classic in that the sides are grown out instead of faded, although they are kept neat.
