The Best Haircuts for Men with Curly Hair in San Diego

Jul 21

Low-maintenance styles. High impact results. Designed just for your curls.

If you're a guy with curly hair, you already know—it’s both a blessing and a challenge. When your cut works, it really works. When it doesn’t? It’s frizz, fluff, and frustration.

At 783 Mane Hair Lounge in El Cajon, we get curly hair. Our stylists are trained to work with your natural texture, not against it. Whether your curls are tight coils or loose waves, we’ll find a style that feels like you.

Why the Right Cut Makes All the Difference

Curly hair has a mind of its own—but a great cut brings out its best. Here’s what the right curly haircut can do:

Enhance and define your natural curl pattern
Reduce frizz and make styling way easier
Give your hair shape, balance, and volume
Complement your face shape and lifestyle

Let’s break down the top cuts we recommend for curly hair men in San Diego.

Top Haircuts for Men with Curly Hair

1. The Curly Fade
Tapered on the sides, defined on top. The curly fade is stylish, clean, and super versatile. It’s great for anyone who wants a modern, low-maintenance look with texture on display.

2. The Curly Quiff
Want something a bit more bold? The curly quiff keeps the volume up top and fades or trims on the sides. It’s ideal for men with medium to long curls—and especially flattering for round faces.

3. The Textured Crop
Think of this as the “effortless cool” cut. The textured crop leaves just enough length to let your curls do their thing without being high-maintenance. Perfect for tighter curls.

4. The Curly Mullet
Yes, it’s back—and better than ever. The curly mullet is a statement cut for guys who want something edgy, retro, and unique. Business in the front, party in the back—with bounce.

5. The Undercut for Curly Hair
Short sides, longer curls on top. The undercut gives you contrast and flexibility. Wear it slicked back, messy, or styled however you want—it’s one of the most versatile curly cuts for men.

How to Keep Your Curls Fresh Between Cuts

Curly hair thrives with a little extra love. Here’s how to maintain your cut:

Use curl-friendly shampoos and leave-ins
Apply product to damp hair (not soaking wet)
Skip daily washes to keep moisture locked in
Diffuse on low heat if you blow-dry
Book trims every few weeks to maintain shape
