Take your pick: These men's haircuts will give you confidence for weeks

We all go through rough patches, and sometimes these rough patches lead to lapses in confidence. The key is to pick yourself back up, look in the mirror, and find a way to believe in who you see. And sometimes, it’s as simple as getting a good haircut.

Modified Pompadour

Think of it as a low-maintenance version of the full pompadour. It’s advisable to keep it trim on the sides for a more modern look, but the key to rocking this haircut is finding the right styling product. You’re going to want to find a pomade with a good hold, and a shine that suits the look you’re going for, whether it’s slick or matte.

Faded Buzzcut

Confidence comes from being comfortable in your own skin. And if it’s comfort you’re after, you’re going to want a practical haircut that suits our tropical climate. The buzzcut is clean, simple, and breezy. But don’t just tell your barber to run an uno against every part of your head—ask for something more contemporary like a buzzcut faded down the sides.

Quiff

The quiff is a medium-length hairstyle that’s long and textured up front, short then brushed to the side—a favorite of football players and male models alike. If you’re feeling lucky, ask your barber or stylist to use thinning scissors to add texture.

Side Sweep

There's no harm in keeping your hair long, as long as it’s not sloppy or unkempt. Ask your barber to cut out just a half-inch or an inch. Be sure to comb and style it so it doesn’t go all over the place—sweep it to one side for a look that’s laid-back yet confident.

The Modern Caesar

A new, more modern Caesar has emerged: a short hairstyle along the sides and back, with a textured fringe hanging down the forehead from the top. It’s a bold, edgy look that does take some balls to pull off, but when you’re gunning for confident, why not go for broke?

On an ordinary day, you’d take all these hairstyles down to your local barbershop. But if you intend to get a haircut soon, you might want to take it down to the CLEAR Cube—a pop-up ice lounge and scalp refreshment bar that offers a free shampoo and haircut session to those who fancy a new, refreshing look. You can catch it from May 25 and 26 at UP Town Center and from June 1 to 2 at Alabang Town Center.
