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

About this video

McGoff teaches men how to achieve and style the tapered brushed back side part haircut, a practical yet refined hairstyle that he argues works well for men with straight, wavy, or thick hair. He explains the specific terminology, how to communicate the cut to a barber, and provides a detailed styling routine using product and a blow dryer to achieve the desired look.

Key takeaways

• McGoff defines the tapered brushed back side part as having gradual length reduction from top to sides (not an undercut or fade), with hair brushed straight back rather than following the crown’s natural swirl
• McGoff recommends a two-step styling process: first applying medium hold product like sponge wax to damp hair and pushing it back, then using a blow dryer on low to sculpt and add volume before locking it in place
• McGoff argues this hairstyle is timeless, low-maintenance, doesn’t require frequent haircuts, and looks better than trendy alternatives while remaining practical for everyday wear
