Surfer hair is easy to style, even though the idea that hair should be “purposefully messy” might seem odd. Just make sure you have hair wax and thick wave spray on hand. 

Take a chance and catch some waves (or at least look like you do). Here is our list of the 30 best surfer hairstyles for guys who want to look and feel carefree. 

1. MESSY BUN (WITH OR WITHOUT POWDER) 

MESSY BUN (WITH OR WITHOUT POWDER)

The messy bun is easy and quick, and it’s probably the most famous haircut for surfers. The sun and sea will bring out the highlights in light brown or blonde hair, making any man bun look great. Any hair color, even dark brown or black, looks great in a messy bun. It looks like you’re about to surf. 

2. LONG HAIR THAT IS CURLY

Long, wavy hair is always a favorite among surfers, whether they’re in California or Hawaii. If you want to keep your surfer curls, surfers use salt water. This style looks best on guys whose hair is naturally curly. If you can’t get to the beach, use sea salt spray to get the same smoothness and waves everyone loves. 

P.S. If you want to go from short to long, curly hair, you should know that the “growing out” part will be awkward. 

3. MESSY HAIR

Surfer haircuts are known for being natural and easy, and messy curls are a great example. Even if your hair is naturally wavy, add some mousse or pomade to make it more interesting. 

4. HAIR WITH TASSELS 

HAIR WITH TASSELS

There are a few different ways to get a messy look. Men with naturally curly or thick hair can style their hair with sea salt spray or hair mousse and be done with it. For guys with short surf hair, this is the best style. Instead, guys with straight hair might want to sleep with a couple of loose braids and use hair clay in the morning to set them. 

5. LONG HAIR WITH WAVES 

LONG HAIR WITH WAVES

Curly hair is more challenging, but wavy hair is more manageable so that more guys can try this style. The part of having long, curly hair that takes the most time is letting it grow out. If your hair is straight, shower at night and let it dry naturally. When your hair is damp, braid it and sleep with the braids in. The waves will last all day. 

6. WAVY HAIR OF A MEDIUM LENGTH 

WAVY HAIR OF A MEDIUM LENGTH

While growing your hair out, stop and do something fun with it when it’s about mid-length. This surfer haircut looks great when worn in a half-up, half-down bun. Medium-length hair that is wavy can look a bit more grunge. 

7. CUT THE BUZZ

CUT THE BUZZ

But this style is by far the easiest to use and control, which is why severe surfers like Kelly Slater like it. If you want something more dramatic, buzz cuts are easy to bleach, making them look like a fun punk/surfer mix.

8. A FAUX HAWK

A FAUX HAWK

The fake hawk with a punk vibe can also be worn as surf hair because it is flexible and free-spirited. Like the look of long hair, but don’t want it to get in the way? This is an excellent style for you. 

9. SHORT HAIR THAT IS MESSY 

SHORT HAIR THAT IS MESSY

You can get short, messy hair with almost any type of hair. If you want your hair to be straight, curly, wavy, or any other style, just run some mousse or pomade through it until you get the look and feel you want. 

10. MID IN THE FADE 

MID IN THE FADE

Somewhere between the temple and the ear is where mid-fades begin. This gives you a nice contrast while still giving the crown of the head some length. A mid-fade will keep things in check if you’re a man who likes balance. 

11. LONG HAIR THAT IS STRAIGHT 

LONG HAIR THAT IS STRAIGHT

Long hair is high-maintenance, but it looks good on many faces and can be made to fit your style by adding layers or showing off your natural curls. This is a less common type of surfer hair that guys should try. Let everything grow out and try this old-fashioned and country style. 

12. CUT THE CREW 

CUT THE CREW

A lot of serious surfers wear the standard crew cut. Even though it’s not relatively as short as a buzz cut, crew cuts still look cool and hip because they have sharp edges and good definition. 

13. CUT YOUR HAIR IN A SURFER STYLE 

CUT YOUR HAIR IN A SURFER STYLE

An undercut adds depth and shape to the back of the head, just like a fade. You can get an undercut that is barely noticeable if you wear your hair longer or get one that is shorter all over. Either way, they give you a sharp look. 

14. CURLS OF MEDIUM LENGTH 

CURLS OF MEDIUM LENGTH

Medium-length curls give hair a shag-style look that’s great for guys who like to look rough or clean-cut. Just spray some sea salt on your hair and let it hang loose around your face for a messy look. To make yourself look more professional, slick back your hair with pomade or hair wax. 

15. HAIR FROM A WET SURFER 

HAIR FROM A WET SURFER

You can’t avoid the fact that hair that is wet will dry on its own. You can make your hair look wet by using a good amount of hair oil or gel with a shine. Remember that this style can make your hair look greasy, so don’t use too much product. 

16. HAIR THAT IS STIFF AND MEDIUM LENGTH

HAIR THAT IS STIFF AND MEDIUM LENGTH

Wavy hair is usually considered the surfer hair, but straight hair can also look like it came from the beach. When worn in a surfer style, hair about shoulder-length, straight, parted in the middle, and messy looks loose and relaxed. 

17. HAIR THAT IS SHORT AND CURLY 

HAIR THAT IS SHORT AND CURLY

Men who want to show off their natural curls but don’t want their hair to fall in their face or get in the way should get short, curly hair. If you want a more put-together look, leave the top of your wavy hair long and fade the sides. 

18. LONG, WAVY HAIR WITH A BEARD 

 LONG, WAVY HAIR WITH A BEARD

If you want to step it up a notch, try putting on a beard with your surf hair. But if you want to look island-inspired, wear your hair long and curly and grow a beard. This is also an excellent choice for guys who like to follow their path.

19. A CURLY QUIFF 

A CURLY QUIFF

Curly quiffs look young and complete because they are longer on top and shorter at the bottom. This surfer haircut looks best on people with curly hair. Hair wax will help the hair on top keep its shape and thickness.

20. QUIFF WITH WAVES 

QUIFF WITH WAVES

If you like the look of a curly quiff but don’t have curly hair, try a wavy quiff. You only need wave spray and pomade to add a lot of volume. Brush your hair back if you don’t want it to fall in your face. 

21. FADE OF SKIN 

FADE OF SKIN

In terms of surfer hair, the skin fade is about as short as it gets, like a buzz cut. You can choose how long the hair is on top of the head, but the sides and back are shaved clean.

22. A POMPADOUR 

A POMPADOUR

Get a pompadour to look like Elvis with a more modern twist. To get a shorter surfer haircut like the pompadour, leave the hair on top of the head longer and fuller and just slick it back with heavy-duty hair gel. 

23. LONG FRINGE WITH MESS 

 LONG FRINGE WITH MESS

To get a stylish, long, messy fringe, make sure your hair is a solid length. Then, use pomade to make the fringe look by clumping together sections of hair. Remember that this style can make hair look stringy, so it’s best for guys who like things that look a little rough. 

24. FRINGE THAT IS SHORT 

FRINGE THAT IS SHORT

Guys with long or short hair can pull off a long, messy fringe. Ask for a fade if you want your hair to be short, but leave the hair on top of your head longer and add pomade to make a fringe. Check out a longer Edgar haircut for more ideas. 

FAQs

WHAT IS A SURFER HAIRSTYLE? 

Surfer hair means that you don’t have to worry about anything. Many surfers are known for leaving their hair alone and letting the sun and sea give it a natural glow. It doesn’t have to be long, but many surfer haircuts look great with long hair. 

HOW DO YOU GET A SURFER CUT? 

Allow your hair to grow naturally if you want a surfer haircut without many changes. Also, make sure you have pomade, mousse, and some kind of wave spray on hand so you can keep your hair looking curly even when you’re not at the beach. This is what makes surfer hair so appealing. 

HOW TO DO A SURFER CUT?

If you run some pomade through your hair and then spray it with wave spray a few times, it will look like the sea. 

To style a surfer haircut, all you need are some simple tools. You can get that surfer-style hair by doing something as simple as putting your hair up in a bun for longer hair. 

HOW TO DO YOUR HAIR WHEN YOU ARE ?

Before entering the water, you should ensure your hair is easily handled. People with short hair or buzz cuts won’t have to worry about their hair getting in the way. People with longer hair can just pull it back into a bun or knot. 

If your hair isn’t straight, push it back and out of your face with salt water while you catch some waves.
