33 Awesome Hard Part Haircuts for Men

The hard part haircut is deservedly as popular as a fade hairstyle. No wonder, because both these styles harmoniously penetrate to the majority of modern haircuts adding a juicy detail and a fresh twist.

Indeed, shaved lines in hair will work great with a buzz cut, a pompadour hairstyle, a quiff, and even a man bun. This sharp design detail is a statement of male energy, a reminder of old school gentlemen traditions, a trend that never fades, and a touch of personalization that makes every hairdo unique.

The hard parting is a rather small element, which is able to change the whole image dramatically. If you’ve never tried to rock a men's haircut with lines on the side, it’s definitely time to run to your barber and show some images from our gallery. Here, you’ll find the ideal hard parts haircut option for you.

What Is a Hard Part?

What Is a Hard Part

@bul_thebarber

A hard part aka shaved part or razor line is an actual part-line, which is shaved in. It is an extension of the side part line trend that gives definition and contrast for a sharp and edgy look.

The hard part line is usually shaved down to the side of the scalp with a razor or trimmer. This outstanding line can bring variety to any hairstyle, however, there is a downside – it requires regular maintenance as it works great only when it’s polished and neat.

Hard Part vs Soft Part

When you visit your barbershop with the request to get a parted look, your barber will offer you two variations: a more reserved and classic soft part or a modern defined hard part. Thus, a soft part is made by combing or brushing hair to opposite sides, while a hard part is also shaved and adds a lot of contrast.

To make a clean and neat hard part, a proper barbering experience is necessary. Along with your skills, you’ll also need a trimmer or a straight razor for a decent hard part line haircut.

Step 1 – Find the appropriate place for a hard part. It’s great if it coincides with the natural parting, but if not, just pick up the area bearing the face shape in mind. Step 2 – Sprinkle the hair with water and make a parting with a comb. Step 3 – Find the right angle. Make sure that the line is not deepening down or going up too high. Correct its position if necessary. Step 4 – Take a clipper with a size 3 guard and use it like a comb, fading the bottom part of the hair. It will make the two sections more contrasting and easier to deal with. Step 5 – Choose the trimmer you’re most comfortable to work with, pull the hair up, and trim the line along the roots. Step 6 – Repeat step 5 to make the line neat and precise. Step 7 – Finish the rest of the hairstyle.

How to Style a Hard Part?

The first thing you need to purchase for an ideal hard part hairstyle is a good quality pomade. Styling of a cool hard part hair begins with applying a good hair product to towel-dried, slightly damp hair. (If you wanna get a shiny, even greasy slicked-back look, use a generous amount of pomade.)

Next, comb your hair away from your shaved part to the side, and after that – backward (thus, you’ll get a classic hard part hairstyle.)

Also, you can use some hairspray to fix the style in place so that the longer locks don’t cover the fade hard part zone.

Of course, you can experiment with the style of your crown – from smooth and sleek to messy and spiky. But the hard part will always be the detail that takes your hairdo up to a completely new level.
