Make sure you know what to ask your stylist or barber to do.

Feeling confident in the way you look is important, and a haircut that you know suits you can do a lot to improve this confidence. For men, layered hairstyles have gained prominence in fashion, film and everyday life. If you're looking to get this kind of haircut with bangs, short-to-medium hairstyles work better than longer cuts.

Layered hair that's kept short can still provide variety when you're styling it, especially with bangs. If you're going for a messy, modern look, ask your hairstylist or barber for an unblended layered cut, which will give your hair a chunky look that looks good when hair is spiked or roughed up with a little product. You can also get a short blended cut, which provides a more clean-cut look and gives seamless transitions between the length of your bangs and the rest of your hair.

Medium

Medium-layered hairstyles look particularly good on men when paired with bangs. This kind of a hairstyle typically hangs four to six inches from the top of your head. Layered hairstyles include bob-like cuts, with even layers that start short and get longer closer to the scalp, an emo-type look, with especially long bangs in the front and shorter hair on the back of the head, or an even messy look that stars like Robert Pattinson like to rock spiked and tangled.

Long

Long layers have a certain rock-star appeal for many men, though it may take more time to get this haircut styled. Again, men can go for layers that smoothly transition one to another, or more clunky layers that draw more attention. Bangs are not usually a good option with long layers, particularly because you run the risk of looking like you're sporting a wannabe-mullet (that much-ridiculed business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back style that many men sported in the '80s). If do choose bangs and a long-layered cut, keep bangs longer as well.

Hair Type

Your hair type matters when you're getting a layered cut with bangs, and all layered hairstyles do not look great on all men. Men with thick, curly hair should only try the shortest layered hairstyle, as the curls will ruin the effect of longer layers. If you have straight hair (or don't mind straightening wavy hair yourself), any layered haircut length can work. And if you're balding, a layered haircut can go a long way in making your hair look fuller or more even.
