Some men like their natural afro curls, but they would rather try a short afro hairstyle as they don’t want their hairstyle to look too crazy and big on their head. And a short hairstyle doesn’t mean that there is only one variation. In this article, we have picked our 15 favorite short afro hairstyles for men.

Short Afro Hairstyles for Black Guys

These are the most popular short hairstyles for men with afro curls to explore this summer.

1. Simple Short Haircut

A simple short afro haircut is a very practical style that doesn’t require a lot of products or styling every morning.

Ideal for: Oval and heart-shaped faces.

How to style: Trim the ends regularly to the desired length. Trim the baby hairs on the forehead in the shape of a fade that would be covered by the curls, but would still make the hairstyle appear neater.

2. Wavy Afro with a Temp Fade

You will love this afro hairstyle for its simplicity and precision.

Ideal for: Round and oval face shapes.

How to style: Shape the transition using clippers.

3. Hard Part Hairstyle

The temple line will give the short afro style a square-shaped effect that will flatter your soft facial features.

Ideal for: Round and heart-shaped faces.

How to style: When you cut your hair to the desired length, use a hair trimmer to create the skin fade and the line that will act as a part and make the hairstyle look more geometric.

4. Short Receding Hairline Haircut

As opposed to a big afro, a short afro looks good on men with a receding hairline. It blends well with the forehead and the rest of the face.

Ideal for: All face shapes.

How to style: Regularly maintain the short length.

5. Afro Mohawk with Undercut

Be brave and daring enough to play with the classic mohawk with a disconnected undercut.

Ideal for: Round and square-shapes.
