Blowout Haircut Inspiration
In the world of men’s hair, a blowout haircut features much shorter hair at the temples and often the neck, sometimes forming a band all around the hairline. Unlike a typical faded style where hair tapers gradually, a blowout cut features a dramatic contrast between these shorter sections and the longer hair surrounding them, so that the finished product will leave you looking like your hair has been blown away from your face. Some people refer to the blowout haircut as a Brooklyn blowout or a temple fade, and the terms can be used interchangeably in most places. Either way it’s a great option if you’re looking for a creative style to help you stand out in a crowd.

Do you love wearing your natural curls on the longer side, but hate when your style looks messy or gets in your face?

5High Volume Blowout Haircut With Color
Looking like the hi-top version of a blowout haircut, this high volume cut is smoothly controlled around the sides while still allowing natural texture some room to play up top. A little bit of color is added up top, and guys with longer hair might feel more inclined to experiment with color, since it’s easy enough to cut your hair shorter if you’re tired of the new shade.

The pictured style is an excellent example of expert fading at the temples and back of the neck without quite connecting the two areas with a wraparound fade.
20Blonde High Blowout Style
Looking like a cross between a mid fade style and a classic blowout haircut, this cut gets enhanced by blonde highlights at the tips of its defined twisted curls. Depending on how light you want you hair to be, you’ll probably have to go through multiple lightening sessions to lift your natural color without damaging your hair, and you should be prepared to spend a month or two at an in between shade.
21Temple Fade With Beard
While some guys like to wear their beards scruffy and untamed, well-groomed men can include their facial hair in their style considerations. The blowout haircut is a great choice for guys who like to keep their beard looking suave, because you can incorporate your facial hair into your blowout by transitioning the temple fade into your beard. If you didn’t have a beard already, this might inspire you to start growing yours out.

23Mega Waves Blowout
This Brooklyn blowout haircut shows an extra impressive styling feat, with waves that are styled up and back without looking locked in place with a ton of product. To get this look on your own, apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair, concentrating on the roots, then blow-dry hair in an upwards motion while using a round brush to help create definition. Depending on how long your hair is, blowdrying with your head upside down can help to add volume too. Once your hair is dry, use a product like a texturizing paste or firm hold pomade to add definition without that crusted gel finish. If you’re looking for maximum hold on a longer blowout haircut, don’t be afraid to finish it off with some hairspray.
