If you don’t like the classical frontal spikes, you can go for another stylish look. This hairstyle is created by sweeping the hair to the middle and then upwards. It can easily be done with minimal amount of hair gel.

4. Spiky comb over

This is actually a mix of short spiky cut and a comb over. The hair is swept backwards while styled to have spikes in front. Apply some hair gel to your fingers and start combing your hair backward. While doing that, make some upward spikes as well.

5. No shaving allowed

While some men like to have their sides shaved or trimmed very shortly before making the spikes, there no reason not to leave some hair intact. Spikes look great even when there is hair left on the sides. In fact, the overall look is very special.

This classical haircut is known to many guys. However, the bangs are usually neatly brushed. Diversify your look by adding some spikes! All you need to do is let your fingers do the job. Messiness is not just allowed, it is encouraged.

Another reason why guys like spiky hairstyles is that they can legally make a real mess on their head and call it stylish. Forget about neat brushing. Work you fingers through your hair to make it as messy as you always wanted.

8.  Devilish look

If you want to get creative, no reason to wait. Try the devil horns! They are made by sweeping the hair to the top and in the middle. The front part is left short and neat. The overall devilish appearance will surely be turning some pretty heads your way.

9. Spikes for widow’s peak

If you have a widow’s peak and your hairline is receding, the spikes can be your saviors. Make the sides short and create the spikes on the front of your widow’s peak. It will create an appearance of volume and hide the receding hairline.

10. Soft and spiky

Guys with straight and thick hair can go for a soft and spiky look by using just a little bit of gel to create their spikes. This haircut doesn’t look outrageous as some of the spiky styles do. It can easily be worn to school or office.
