It is all too easy to get stuck in a rut with a comfortable hairstyle. A style that doesn’t raise too many eyebrows and doesn’t require frequent trips to the barber, or maybe one that even falls into place without a brush. But, if you are ready to make the jump and spice things up in the hair department, ask your barber for a hard-part hairstyle next time you pay a visit to his chair. 

A hard part is a simple addition to almost any hairstyle. The haircut focuses on creating a more prominent hair part by shaving it in place with a razor. Choosing this style gives you the freedom to update your favorite hairstyle by adding a new dimension of polish to it.

If you are considering a new men’s hairstyle, have a look at these profoundly smart ways to incorporate a hard part haircut into your next cut.

1. Military Hard Part Haircut

This style is no longer only for G.I.s, many men now seek this polished and put-together military hair look. The hard part doesn’t exceed 4-inches and usually graduates to a skin fade as per military standards.

2. Short Hard Part Haircut

Many men opt for a short haircut most of their lives, and why not? It’s easy, neat, and unassuming. The only catch – it’s boring. The sharp accent brought by a hard part might be the revival your short hair needs.

3. Hard Part Fade Haircut

A hard part with a fade is one of the most popular men’s haircuts and continues to be a style staple of the last decade. A sharp hard part fading down is classic, contemporary and will leave you looking polished and chic.

4. High and Tight with Hard Part

A high and tight sits at the very top of the head with a swift skin fade on the back and sides. This cropped look is edgy, and the hard part amplifies the face with a harsh contrast.
