25+ Best Sims 4 Male Urban Hair Styles: Cornrows, Fades, Locs, Waves, and Twists

In my opinion, the base game doesn’t have many Sims 4 male urban hair styles. This hinders many players from creating authentic and realistic people of color.

Fortunately, I’ve compiled this detailed list of urban male cc hairstyles to give you multiple styles and textures for your Sims. You’ll get various loc options, taper fades, afros, cornrows, and more.

As usual, all the custom content is free to download and use in the base game. Enjoy!
