For 2018, texture is a major trend that you will see incorporated into new haircuts. That starts with a layered haircut and is enhanced by spiky, messy styling. Add texture to fine hair with a styling powder or use a clay pomade for thicker hair types. Another hot trend is the textured crop haircut with a hint of fringe. Bangs can be worn straight down, on an angle or cut into a unique shape.

Short haircuts work for all hair types from fine to thick, straight to curly and even thinning hair. Beef up fine or thin hair with texture and volume. Tame thick hair with layers that lighten up hair. Cut hair just long enough to leave some curl. And short haircuts are flattering for balding men because they minimize the difference between thinning areas and fuller hair.
