Let's look at some of the options you should consider depending on your hair texture.
BEST HAIRCUT FOR FINE HAIR MEN
Fine hair is a struggle of its own cause there is little to work with, lacking volume and density. The best option for this hair type is to keep it long to medium and let the length play its part. A slick back with layers can be your go-to look.
BEST HAIRCUT FOR THICK HAIR MEN
Blessed is the only word to describe the people with this hair type. It gives you the freedom to experiment with different styles and cuts. Whether wanting to rock a man bun or pull a classic quiff or shaggy layers or even a pompadour. Personally, I feel a short haircut would suit the best for thick hair.

Shiny and most often thick are the descriptions of Asian hair. The best to work with. They require minimal to no styling, because gravity plays its part, keeping them short or till your ear with sharp edge cuts or a quiff with proper cuts would be the best option to go after.

Wavy hair is a bit of a confusing one. Not completely straight nor completely curly they come with a confusion of their own. Leaving men puzzled as to what to do with them.
