16. Medium Length Straight Hair

While surfer hair is most often associated with curly hair, straight styles can also possess a beach-inspired look. Medium-length straight hair with a middle part and slightly tousled has that laid-back and carefree quality that shines through surfer hairstyles. 

17. Short Curly Hair

Short curly hair is perfect for men who want to embrace their natural curls without having to deal with them falling in their face or getting in the way. Leave your curly hair long on top and pair it with a temple fade for a more refined look.

18. Long Wavy Hair with Beard

If you’re looking to up the ante, try pairing a beard with your surfer hair. However, if you want a very authentic, island-inspired style, long wavy hair plus a beard is the way to go. This is also a great option for men who consider themselves to be free spirits. 

19. Curly Quiff

Longer on top and shorter on the bottom, curly quiffs appear youthful and voluminous. While you do need curly hair in order to pull this surfer haircut off, you also need some hair wax to help the hair on the crown maintain its shape and volume.

20. Wavy Quiff

If you like the curly quiff style but don’t have curly hair, go for a wavy quiff. Simply use wave spray and pomade to create a lot of texture. Try slicking the hair back to avoid having it fall in front of your face.

21. Skin Fade

Similar to a buzz cut, the skin fade is about as short as you can get when it comes to surfer hair. Though you have creativity when it comes to the length of the hair on the crown, the hair on the sides and back of the head is shaved all the way to the scalp.

22. Pompadour

A pompadour gives off the Elvis-vibe with a more modern twist. As a shorter surfer haircut, the pompadour can be achieved by leaving the hair on the crown longer and fuller, and simply slicking it back with some heavy-duty hair gel.
