Best hair styles for young men (18yrs old) with thick hair?

My hair is quite coarse, and I also have a large nose, so I find that the spikey styles suit me best.. what do you think??Best hair styles for young men (18yrs old) with thick hair?
It also depends on head, face and neck shape and frontal hairline but in general, a regular taper cut with the hair mostly off the forehead or one of the short pomp cuts-crew cut, ivy league(long crew cut), flat top crew cut- should suit.

The answer at the following link explains the basic short cuts. The first two links contained therein are quite informative:

Some barbers describe an ivy league as a crew cut just long enough to be parted and combed to the side if so desired. An ivy league can also be worn with the hair brushed up off the forehead to form the short pomp front or with the short bangs brushed down on the forehead like a forward brush cut

[A crew cut is a timeless prep haircut, the photo directly above is from 1946, and yet if the photo was in color, both the guy and the clothes he is wearing could be in the latest J Crew catalog. ]

[Around 5/8';(#5) at the front hairline, graduated to about 1/4';(#2)at the back of the crown. Back and sides are tapered from around #0A length (1.2mm)down to #000 length(0.5mm) at the ears and nape.]


Grooming any of the short pomp styles- crew cut, ivy league, flat top crew cut- is basically the same.


1) Towel dry hair.


2) Barely dip fingertips in jar of wax.


3)Transfer wax to palms.


4) Smooth palms over hair.


5)Brush hair off forehead to form short pomp front.


Whichever style you decide on, take a photo to help describe the desired haircut to the barber or stylist. If you need more photos of a particular style, let me know.


Good Luck!
