This look is convenient for people that don’t want to cut their long hair off but at the same time don’t want to spend the time on styling or would like to keep hair out of there eyes.  He chose to do his Viking style, with shaved sides and a slick crown.

Caesar Hair Cut

Caesar-Haircut

The Caesar cut named after the infamous Roman General and Statesman Julius Caesar, the ‘Caesar Haircut’ has been popular amongst men and boys since the early 90’s. It’s pretty much like a buzz cut, just that it plays around with the hair length in different areas. The top part should be slightly longer than the sides and back. Zayn made this look appear clean and with the fade on the sides and slight messiness on the top gives it the right balance of formal and cool. A low haircut is always a good cut for Zayn with very little maintenance needed.

Grey hair was a big trend of 2017 and it became one of the main styles for men to dye their hair. Along with blonde, grey hair dye has been one of the cooler trends of the last few years and the singer made the trends his own with this look. You should too.

Zayn Malik Undercut

Throughout Zayn Malik’s career, he has been spotted with a number of different undercuts. spanning all shapes and sizes. In this shot, you can see how he combined a high fade undercut with a 2-inch top. The undercut fade is a great way of twisting the short back and sides. The length on the top leaves loads of options styling wise.

Shaggy Hair

Here, Zayn Malik shows off a classic shaggy style with a side swept front. Appearing at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and influenced by Justin Bieber, Zayn modified the trendy look. Instead of a perfectly neat hairstyle, Zayn’s side-sweep has a bit of a bed-head look. This style features teased waves swept to the side at the front, and ruffled long locks in the back.

Slicked Back Hair

Slicked Back Hair

This was one of Zayn’s early looks. This Zayn Malik hair is simple yet adventurous. Featuring a plain headband that keeps his hair slicked back and under control, the look is fairly easy to re-create. If you want to fashion this hairstyle yourself, we recommend using some gel or pomade to keep your hair slick and in control.

Faux Hawk

Faux Hawk

This drop fade faux hawk is definitely an original Zayn Malik haircut. The style involves elements of a skin fade as well as a brush up in the front. The side-shave blends excellently with the thin beard Zayn sports with it. Probably one of his more outgoing looks.

Short Layered Hair

Is a practical, low maintenance look. You could use a short and layered hairstyle, like Zayn in this picture as a go to haircut. To get a dynamic outcome like Zayn, make sure you ask your barber to cut in a lot of layers to your here to add to the full effect.

Long Hairstyle with Middle Part

Long Hair Middle Parting

Though this is a look that Zayn hasn’t rocked for years now. It still stands as a classic. The middle parting is one of those haircuts that are a big hit or miss for a lot of people. This haircut gives Zayn a much more European look. His hair is longer in the back, covering his nape, and gradually gets shorter towards the front to properly frame his face.

Angular Fringe

Angular Fringe Zayn Malik

The angular fringe was one of the more popular trends of last year. It’s easy to pull off if your hair is relatively thick, and even more so if it’s wavy or curly. Cut your bangs at an angle, shaving down the sides and back. Here you see Zayn Malik beard joining with his haircut nicely to make for a rugged yet stylish look.

Messy Blonde Undercut

The Messy blonde hair with the undercut is a mixture of Zayn Malik’s trends of the past. As he has gone blonde and the undercut short back and sides is one of his go to haircuts, it makes sense to join the two. With last years trends of the blonde hair still going strong Zayn combines the two to make a signature look.

Fade With Spiky Pink HairFade With Spiky Pink Hair

Another interesting Zayn hairstyle, Malik opted for a mid fade on the sides and dyed, spiked up hair at the top. When the pink faded, his hair turned to a more ombre, slightly bouffant style.

Medium Quiff

Medium Quiff

This classic combed back quiff brings out the greaser in Zayn. The fullness of the front and tapered  neck line make for an exceptional look for the artist and could do for you. The length of the hair allow room for different styles. I would advice using hair wax or gel to keep your hair slicked back.

Brushed Up Hairstyle

Brushed Up Zayn Malik Haircut

This undercut from Zayn Malik has a much different feel to it. Making him appear youthful. This hairstyle is basically the reverse angular fringe, as your bangs will be combed upwards instead of over your forehead. Like always, ensure that the hair on your sides and back is cleanly cut, but can feature a 2-3 grade taper.

Skin Fade Buzzcut

Skin Fade Buzzcut

This image features Zayn with a low fade haircut. After leaving One Direction Zayn’s biggest style change was cutting off his hair. This face with line up brings real structure to his face and gives a more clean look. His beard is always a big part of all his looks but if you wanted to make it look neater a skin fade with a clean shave goes a long way.

Summary

So in all Zayn Malik hairstyle has changed many times over the years and it just goes to show that sometimes experimenting with different styles and looks can give a fresh new look to anybody even if you aren’t a multi award winning artist. Zayn Malik will continue to change his look and inspire boys and men around the world.
