Endless haircut options are available for men with straight hair. And if you’re one of the lucky ones to have straight and voluminous hair, but don’t know what kind of style and haircut is a match, then let’s answer some questions to narrow it down.

Do you want to have short and tight sides? Then the solution is an undercut. But you don’t want a short top so you can flaunt your straight and voluminous hair? Then a side-swept top is for you. Do you like to have just the right amount of prep time before leaving the confines of your home? Then it’s a strike! The side-swept undercut requires a little bit of prep time – just slather a small amount of hair product and blow dry it in the direction that you want it to be and you’re good to go. Does not take more than 15 minutes, for sure.

Another essential thing to consider is your face shape. An undercut is ideal for round faces as it makes the top longer and the sides tight. But, if your face shape is not elongated (i.e., oval or oblong), a side-swept undercut is a match.
