The Best Side Part Hairstyle for Guys (Try It!)

Huge thank you to Factor for sponsoring this video! Use code MODEST60 to get 60% off your first Factor box at: bit.ly/3DgzXOw
I’ve tried a bunch of different hairstyles over the years. Everything from medium length and longer styles to shorter cuts with lots of texture.
And of course, I’ve been influenced by trends. I rocked an undercut side part for a few years (which I still think it a great style, by the way). But there’s one hairstyle I always come back to. It’s practical but not boring.
It’s great for guys who are willing to put a little effort into styling their hair - just a few minutes - but still want a relatively low maintenance cut. And it’s especially great for guys with thick hair like me.
Note: my hair is pretty wavy as it gets longer, but this style works for straight hair too. In this video, I’ll explain how I style this cut, what products I use, and what to tell your barber or hair stylist if you want to get the same look.

Hey Brock! Your video is a great guide for men who want a low maintenance yet stylish haircut. I appreciate how you explained the process step-by-step and shared your personal experience with the style. It's also helpful that you included advice on what to tell the barber or stylist when getting the cut. Thanks for the tips!👍

[@DuhcoatahhASMR]

You are my favorite channel here on KZbin by far

[@sjpiran]

My envy of your gorgeous thick hair continues. I'd give anything to have hair like yours. Great video as always. 👍👍😍😍😊😊

[@michaelbevan1081]

My hair type is similar if not the same - massively helpful. Cheers boss.

[@rhdsyay]

I currently have similar hairstyle and thickness, but it gets greasy quick, head sweats more, so i get pimples from the oiliness. Product also goes fast. With shorter hairstyle I can go longer without washing, less product, less pimples.

[@scottd.3382]

You keep coming back to this because it works very well for you!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks, Scott!

[@theittsco]

So this is what my hairstyle is called. Thanks for the video!

[@pebre79]

Always informative. Thanks for posting this! Keep up the great work :)

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks for watching!

[@chigz_]

Been trying this lately. Love it! Thanks! (:

[@alejandrocortes673]

Been styling my hair like this thanks for the tips brock.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Awesome!

[@truzone925]

I suggest you call your channel the timeless fashion man. Love your content. Finally found someone whose 4-6 year old content still consistent!!!!

[@BrockMcGoff]

I appreciate that!

[@jeyssongonzalez7297]

Thanks for the tip, I’m going to try it, I have lots of hair, thick and I’ve been growing it out but I can’t seem to find a style

[@Dayz3O6]

awesome video once again, very helpful

[@BrockMcGoff]

Glad to hear it!

[@andrew1212w]

Great video and I wish my hair was as thick as yours 👍

[@jaeminko4286]

Can you do a video on how to wear stripes (in particular, breton stripes)? I’ve been really enjoying them lately and I wanted to see your perspective!

[@mikemamesah539]

Now do one for guys with thin hair!

[@12inch_monster]

check back in 15 years

[@assadn5082]

I actually do a very similar version to this and I have thin hair. I use a small roller brush to grab my hair and blow dry it backwards. This will add a substantial amount of volume. Then what want to do is use a clay product, like layrite cement clay for example, and work that with your hands into your hair brushing it backwards. I use a brush after to make sure all my hair is going in the direction I want and although it won't look as luxurious as in this video, it's pretty awesome for thin hair. Hope this helps.

[@sebastianschmidt6136]

Thanks pal@@assadn5082

[@woodysavage8916]

In a few years you wouldn’t need a hairstyle don’t worry.

[@arpitonesimus8917]

Then wa will they need?​@@woodysavage8916

[@AIRFORCEFREAK1]

Didn't know I had a undercut. Good to know.

[@stevejanowiak1982]

Brock, how long are your bangs in this video? Hairstyle looks fantastic!

[@Lambdin22]

Hey Brock, do you have an approximate estimate on lengths? For example, 3/4" on the sides and tapered up to 2" on top? Thanks for the awesome video.

[@Ferien7]

I had the most difficult time explaining to my barber the difference between a taper and an undercut. He kept wanting to do an undercut when I wanted a taper. Super frustrating. Eventually he caught on.

[@BrockMcGoff]

A barber should definitely know the difference!

[@juts_sama]

​@@BrockMcGoffi might show this to my barber or just go to a hairstylist instead. barbers in my country tend to always go for the razor when you say trim. it's like they only know few haircut/hairstyles

[@chunwong1807]

you look good on longer hair

[@GregJamesMusic]

Thanks, Brock! Would you recommend this for someone with a prominent widows peak?

[@Bolejokoyal099]

Can i use the wax you used daily. Will it damage my hair if i use it regularly?

[@Vince7758]

How long should I grow my hair out first? Somewhere around 4 inches?

[@shaunmoss1915]

What blow dryer do you use? I grew out my sides again, as I get older I want to settle into a more mature look. This taper is great because it can be shaped tight for formal and business with a high gloss pomade with a fine tooth comb. Then, as the video shows, shaped for leisure activities and the Saturday morning coffee shop.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Link in description to a similar blow dryer (it’s a travel size, which I prefer).

[@gainde1137]

Do you use machine for side parts or only by hand?

[@jodricpalisbo7916]

I am pretty sure this is the "News Anchor" hairstyle? 😁 Great video nonetheless.

[@seanschultz7395]

Nice looking hairstyle!!! My hair is thick and straight my only issue is I have a double cow lick around the back part of my crown… I guess that’s why I keep my hair cut short to this day…

[@robscoggins]

I’ve found growing my hair out eliminates the cow lick problem.

[@mgonza1350]

About how long is your hair on the top, on the sides, and on the back?

[@H-TownGamer]

Sometimes the classics never go out of style.

[@HotelBravo556]

Me, a man with a shaved head, watching this because I love Brock’s content 🤓

[@akashchakraborty3.078]

Please tell me what the length is on top and sides.

[@doomraider637]

How do you get it so the part line doesn't go all the way?

[@mr.atomic2970]

Well only Option for me as a wavy haired guy is to shave bald and wear side parted wigs.

[@wayneweaver1824]

What length do you recommend on the sides?

[@westfield90]

I’m growing my hair out to your long phase and we’ll see if I make it through that awkward phase.

[@xyema-mpa-ma-ma]

Crew cut pour moi

[@Gzus]

As a guy with thinning hair, it feels like ANY hairstyle is achievable for men with thick hair and most look good. I'd prefer to see a video for men with thinning hairlines, since that's a MUCH bigger challenge.

[@dreamonrockon1216]

You offended me with just two words “thick hair”😂

[@wenliu5707]

good

[@kartik.30]

Exactly what i was looking for.. Btw whats the name of this hairstyle...

[@BrockMcGoff]

Nice! I call it a brushed back tapered side part.

[@EmreY25]

Hey man, curious. Been following your for a very long time now. Was wondering if you're doing anything to prevent possible genetic hair loss (like taking finasteride). Thanks!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Hey thanks! I haven't done anything, but thankfully, it's one problem I don't have to worry about. Both of my parents have full/thick hair, and none of my 3 brothers show any signs of thinning/loss.

[@EmreY25]

@@BrockMcGoff oh wow, great to hear man! Thanks for the reply!

[@Dennis-yl3cf]

damn we have the same exact hair and haircut

[@L.I.T.H.I.U.M]

Only 40% of the hair is side parted while the rest is slicked back, this might solve the problem I have with side part: when it's fully parted, it doesn't look good on me. BTW you didn't explain where you should choose the parting line to be. Anyway, well explained with all the tips (applying product back to front, and using hands to reduce volume). Will definitely try this.

[@BrockMcGoff]

It kind of depends on your head shape. For me, keeping the part line higher up (above the corner) makes the most sense. For some guys, lower down works better.

[@krishanpalkaidwal]

What abt the person who don't have a single hair on his scalp? What kind of style you would suggest to him.

[@robertriley1569]

Turtle wax

[@shubhambehl4877]

Pls shoot a haircut tutorial for it🙂

[@microchip470]

I like your short textured style the best, but this is a close second.

[@BrockMcGoff]

I’m going back to that style for summer. It’s just so easy!

[@SamanwayBose]

What to tell my barber?

[@pixelbro4299]

Any haircut for bald?

[@Beeppoop]

As someone with thick hair, I hate volume

[@rych7852]

Within a mile of my place, there must be 15-20 "barber shops" But all of them, are terrible! It's so annoying to want to get a good cut (at a sensible price!) and there's so many chancers and amateurs! And then when I did find a great barber, after a fewyears they seem to move on to other places, and you can never find them again! 😂😂

[@hiteshmaru4138]

Will it work with oval face shape ?

[@BrockMcGoff]

Yes

[@qwertyqart]

Thick hair guys gonna be alright, talk about balding and receding hairlines 😂

[@ThePhamnomenal]

bro looks like a mix of tom holland and jake gyllenhaal

[@lazydays1285]

Any tips for the fellow man on how to combat those under eye lines?

[@BrockMcGoff]

Don’t have a toddler 😵‍💫

[@driftx2]

My barber said he doesn't know what a taper is

[@uzieltd21]

I never hear what are the details for the cut it seems my 10 mins wasted. For some ads and hairtsyling and its brand products

[@Absolutely_Glitched]

He looks like paster jeff from young sheldon

[@rxghav7]

True 😂😂

[@kramnalla]

actually SUPPER short looks best on you...would love to see you in a crew cut.

[@souhardya1487]

dude you look like ben afflect.

[@mnmmnm925]

[@Derezzenith]

Dude word for the wise I don’t know you I am here for the first time looking for videos on hair and you put your sponsor at the front of the video rather show me something at tell me something and then put your sponsor it is like a first impression. Your not gonna do that is we met in person

[@yanginkosintantiso7153]

Me a black guy watching🤡😂😂😂

[@alisina-sh]

Bro you guys have much better haircuts I've seen some haircut on a black guy that never looks good on me😶

[@Bolejokoyal099]

You didn't tell what to tell your barber

[@Watchesnwardrobe]

49 grams of fat is not a good post work out meal 😂

[@Remembering-rq6si]

Damn, I hate commericials.

[@themanwithIBS]

I envy guys who's sole existence is to look good and dress well. I wish I could be a modest man myself.

[@bigdickjoe5284]

Thank u 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Makes the head look to big
