3. Messy Curls

Surfer hair is known for being natural and effortless and messy curls fit perfectly into this category. Even if you have naturally curly hair, throw in some mousse or pomade for added texture.

4. Tousled Hair

If you’re going for a tousled look, there are a few different routes you can take. Men with naturally wavy or voluminous hair can spray some sea salt spray or use hair mousse through their locks and call it a day. Alternatively, some men with straight hair might consider sleeping in a couple of loose braids and running some loose hold hair clay in the morning. 

5. Long Wavy Hair

Wavy hair is slightly easier to accomplish than curly hair, making this style accessible to a wider demographic of men. The most time-consuming part of sporting long wavy hair is the process of growing it out. If you have straight hair, take a shower at night and allow your hair to air dry. Once it is only damp, braid your hair and sleep in them in order to achieve waves that will last all day. 

6. Medium Length Wavy Hair

While you’re on the journey of growing your hair, take a minute to pause and get creative with your hair when it’s at a medium length. Though wavy medium length hair can end up looking a bit more grunge, this surfer haircut looks great when it is thrown into a half-up half-down bun.

7. Buzz Cut

However, this is by the far the most convenient and manageable style, making it a popular option for serious surfers like Kelly Slater. If you want something a bit more dramatic, buzz cuts are super easy to bleach, resulting in a fun punk/surfer mash-up. 

8. Faux Hawk

The punk-inspired faux hawk doubles as surfer hair with its free-spirited nature and versatility. If you like the look of long hair without the inconvenience of it getting in the way, this is a great style.
