In other words, two distinct hair lengths with the sides and back shaved or trimmed to pop against a significantly short side long top.

20 Trendy Two Block Haircuts
The following two block haircuts are ideal for men who want to level up their hair game without much effort.
1. Classic Two Block
As mentioned earlier, a classic two block haircut for men features a long top with trimmed sides and back. The overall look is, however, soft without any harsh disconnection or demarcation. Get some layers to avoid a blunt look.
2. Disconnected Undercut
This hairdo is similar to the classic one but features a greater contrast in hair length. The buzzed sides are not only ideal to make chubby round faces apppear much slimmer but also for guys who want a neat polished appeal.
3. Wavy Perm
Those who are bored of their straight tresses can add some movement and volume to them by getting a wavy perm on the top that will last for some weeks. Just hand-tousle the mane and off you go!
4. Heavy Curls
Apart from waves, curls are another fun option to add some bounce to those boring tresses of yours. Use a curling rod or get a perm to achieve the most perfect curls, if not natural, and let them bounce in every direction.
5. Highlights
Whatever hairstyle men are wearing, highlights always take them to the next level just as they are doing here. Choose any tone of blonde you like and get it added on the top in the form of fine stripes.
6. Colored Top
Highlights seem too ordinary? How about coloring the entire top portion of the head? Choose any vibrant shade and give it a go without any hesitation. Red, blue, pink, orange, green, purple, or platinum. The options are endless!
7. Messy
Considering the laid-back ones, messy hairstyles look sexy without a doubt. Ask the barber for some choppy layers to pop against those neatly brushed sides. When styling the hair tousle around the strands with some pomade on the fingers and done.
8. Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs pair up ideally with a two block haircut. Opt for a medium length with a neatly carved-out middle parting. The bangs tend to fall on both sides of the face just like curtains and hence the name.
9. Extra Short
Going extra short on the top is ideal for those who want to avoid visiting the barber for a few weeks. Let the strands grow out without worry to enjoy medium and long lengths too.
10. Side-Swept
Office-going men can go for a more professional appeal with their two block haircut by combing their strands on top toward one side with a subtle puff at the front. You can also slick down the hair to sweep flawlessly across the forehead.
11. Soft Layers
Layers are ideal to take off excessive bulk from thick hair as well as to add some volume to a thinning mane. Get the hair cut off in a way that the strands fall in well-defined layers towards the front.
12. Texture
Adding texture is different from adding layers to the hair as it focuses on creating a messy and less structured look. It is ideal to add a casual touch to a classic or formal hairdo.
13. Straight and Silky
Show off those silky straight tresses with a soft bowl cut where the eyebrow-grazing bangs extend straight back across the head while the sides and back are shaved for a contrasting look. Brush the hair and voila!
14. Angular Fringe
An angular fringe is cut at a slanting angle with scissors where the front strands elongate towards one side of the face. Those who want to add a funky touch to their otherwise classic two block haircut should definitely try this style.
15. Slicked Back
Create a wet look for the entire day by using a hefty amount of gel on the hair and slicking it back neatly with a comb. The result will be a subtle pompadour with trimmed sides and back.
16. Spiky
Spikes are loved by all men, especially during their teenage years and there’s no harm in sporting them in their adulthood too. Use a good styling product to make the strands stand upright keeping them away from the face.
17. Two-Toned Ombre
Make your fresh two-block haircut stand out with a nice ombre where the dark roots transition into whatever color you want for a stylish two-toned look. Take a step ahead and dye your sides and back too!
18. Asymmetrical Front
Express your hipster personality by getting those bangs chopped up irregularly to fall across the forehead unevenly. Some strands are left sharp and long to stand against the shorter blunt ones.
19. Taper Fade
Fades are the go-to hairstyle for guys who can’t think of anything else. They are simple, versatile, and edgy making them suitable to accentuate two block haircuts. Just choose the type of fade you want and discuss it with your barber.
20. Brushed-Up
Last but not the least, apart from sporting simple middle/side parts and bangs, copy this chic brush-up for a change. Just brush the strands upward and back to create a subtle flat top and finish off with a spritz of hairspray.
