Beard and Hairstyle Trends 2025

With the amount of hair and style content we consume, it can be hard to keep up with all the beard and hair trends 2025 is throwing at us. The hair and beard style you saw yesterday might feel outdated today, and so settling on the style you want to take you through this year can be a daunting task!

If your current beard and hair style is starting to feel a bit stale and you’re looking for a stylish change, then don’t worry, Gillette is here to help. With over a hundred years experience of men’s beard and hair styles we thought we were the perfect people to put together your guide to the best men’s beard and hair trends 2025 has to offer.

Hairstyle Trends 2025

Buzz Cut

When your hair gets too long, a visit to the barber is not a foregone conclusion; sometimes there's only one thing to do: cut your own hair!

Influencers around the world have shown us the way, and modern stylists have put their stamp of approval on the look. The buzz cut is a cool and easy-to-manage men’s hair and beard style that shows off your face shape and features in a distinctive way.

Aim to keep your hair between 3 and 7 millimetres long at all times by trimming the cut every couple of weeks. The buzzcut also pairs perfectly with several beard styles. An equally short beard can show off your face shape, or a longer one can provide an interesting contrast.

For more information, check out our tutorials on how to achieve the buzz cut with our King C. Gillette Trimmer, a brilliant tool for the job.

The Mullet

You knew it was coming, but how could we not? The mullet has had the biggest comeback of any beard or hair style and can now be seen everywhere, from TikTok influencers to mainstream actors, and everyone in between.

Originally, a more striking and longer hairstyle, the modern mullet has evolved into a shorter, more textured hairstyle that focuses on bringing out natural waves or curls in the hair. With its shorter sides, the mullet can also flow perfectly into a shorter, groomed beard.

Growing and cutting a mullet at home can be pretty tricky, so it's best to head to the barber for this style when transitioning to it from another hair and beard style. But, once you get used to the feel and behaviour of your mullet, there’s no reason it can’t be styled and cut at home.

Centre Parting

The centre parting, once considered a relic of the 1990s, is making a comeback – but not in as strict a way as those used by classic boy bands. Forget the ultra-groomed beard and hair styles, because the modern centre part should look as if you hadn't styled it at all.

Your hair length is almost irrelevant, medium, long, or very long, it doesn’t matter because volume is the key. Ask your barber to cut your hair in a layered style as this creates the volume and texture that makes a centre part stand out. For styling, it's best to use creamy hair wax, which you can use to highlight individual strands.

Moustache

Another men’s hair and beard style making a comeback is the moustache. Though many think its heyday was way back in the 1970s and early 1980s, the 2020s are staking a claim as the ‘tache continues to surge in popularity.

A simple style to achieve, after just a few weeks of growing it out, the hair above your lip should be long and thick enough to pass for a moustache. Following this, if not before, you should shave off the rest of your beard.

The moustache is one of the most versatile hair and beard styles around, and just how you style your moustache, whether pencil or walrus, is up to you!

The Short Goatee

An evergreen part of men’s hair and beard styles, the short goatee is always a good option when looking for a new facial hair style. The goatee pairs with all manner of hairstyles and face shapes and is a great way to add some individuality to your hair and beard style, without committing to the maintenance of a full beard.

To achieve the perfect goatee, use the King C. Gillette Beard and Moustache Trimmer, which comes with 3 combs, offering an accurate finish for your style. If you are shaving a goatee for the first time, check out our guide for the best tips and tricks.

Full Beard

If you thought that the hipster era of lumberjack shirts and beards was over, you were wrong because the full beard is here to stay. The difference from a few years ago, however, is that the beard needs to look well-groomed!

Regular hair and beard grooming doesn’t have to be a chore — with the right tools, it can be simple and even enjoyable. The Beard Trimmer PRO makes it easy to keep your full beard perfectly maintained, while the Gillette Beard Oil and Beard Softener help keep both your hair and the skin underneath nourished and healthy. Together, these products ensure your beard stays clean, soft, and neatly shaped.

The 5 O’Clock Shadow

If you want to show off your face, but also enjoy the feeling of a beard, then the 5 o’clock shadow is the perfect style for you. Another timeless classic that is coming to the forefront of 2025’s trending beard and hair styles, the 5 o’clock shadow is a simple look that can transform your appearance.

If you’re sick of the overly groomed look that a clean shave can give off, or the fuss of a full beard, then a 5 o’clock shadow can spice up your appearance with a rugged but manageable edge. With the King C. Gillette Style Master, shaving a 5 o’clock shadow has never been easier, and you can achieve the style in just one shave.

Though it requires more maintenance than most hair and beard styles (with most 5 o’clock shadows requiring a trim every day or so), the results are more than worth it, and you’ll be able to enjoy a beard style that is never out of fashion.
