Top Hair Trends for 2026

New year, new look. 2026 is seeing a shift towards more natural, textured styles that embrace individuality. From modern updates on classic cuts to bold new shapes, here are the top hair trends we're seeing in the chair this year.

The Textured Crop

Short, messy, and full of texture. The crop is a low-maintenance style that looks effortlessly cool. It works great for most hair types and can be styled with a matte clay or powder for volume.

The Modern Mullet

Yes, the mullet is back, but it's gotten a serious upgrade. The modern mullet features a fade on the sides with more length at the back, blended seamlessly for a stylish, edgy look. It's a bold choice for the confident gentleman.

Longer Flows

We're seeing more men embracing longer hair. The key to pulling off this look is maintenance. Regular trims to keep ends healthy and using the right styling products to control frizz and add definition are essential.

Classic Side Part

Some styles never go out of fashion. The classic side part remains a staple for the professional gentleman. For 2026, we're seeing it worn a bit looser and more natural, moving away from the ultra-slicked looks of the past.
