🔥 Movemen Salon’s 2026 Men’s Hair Trends Guide: What’s Hot This Year
2026 isn’t just another year — it’s a chance to refresh your look with bold, modern styles that are versatile, easy to wear, and perfect for every type of man. From relaxed, lived-in vibes to refined, polished classics, the latest trends blend personality with practicality. Here’s what we’re loving this year at Movemen Salon.
✂️ Grown-Out Shag: Effortless Texture
The grown-out shag is all about movement, layers, and natural flow. It works especially well if you’re ready to let your hair grow out and embrace texture that looks cool without trying too hard. Ideal for round, square, or oval faces, this cut can be styled with a diffuser and a sea salt spray for that lived-in finish.
Why it’s trending:
✔ Soft layers that don’t need much styling
✔ Looks great air-dried or styled with minimal product
Styling tip: Sea salt spray + textured clay = effortless movement.
💈 Crew Cut & High & Tight 2.0: Clean, Classic, Updated
2026 brings a refreshed take on the classic crew cut and the high & tight. These low-maintenance staples are perfect for guys who want a sharp finish with little styling time. We recommend a matte paste or grooming powder to add subtle texture that keeps the look modern.
Why this works:
✔ Fast to style
✔ Great for boardrooms or weekends
✔ Syncs with beard styles for a clean overall look
🔄 Curly High-Top & Curly Centre Part: Own Your Texture
Curly hair is taking centre stage this year. Whether you’re into a curly high-top or a soft centre part, the key is to enhance your natural texture with curl-defining cream or a light mousse.
Best for: Natural curl lovers.
Pro tip: Don’t fight your curls — define them.
🌊 Bro Flow & Shoulder-Length Waves: Relaxed but Refined
Medium-length styles like the bro flow are perfect if you want a relaxed, beachy vibe without looking unkempt. Tuck it behind the ears or let it frame your face — either way, it’s effortless but stylish.
Why try it:
✔ Flows with your natural hair
✔ Looks clean with a light mousse or texture spray
✨ Textured Crop & Modern Buzz: Minimalist Modern
If you want a stylish cut that practically styles itself, say hello to the textured crop or modern buzz. Short on the sides with tousled layers on top, this trend gives maximum impact with minimal upkeep — perfect for busy lifestyles.
150% recommend if you:
✔ Prefer low maintenance
✔ Want a versatile look that works anywhere
🧑 Modern Mullets & Retro Style Revivals
Yes — the mullet is evolving in 2026. Modern versions add a refined, softer tail with tidy sides and often a fade or undercut. It’s retro with an edge.
Pair with: Subtle beard styling or a tapered neckline.
🔥 Pompadours & Quiff Variations
For those who love more volume and statement, the pompadour and variations of the quiff are back — with a modern twist. Think lifted look and soft texture rather than sticky and stiff. A lightweight volumising mousse makes it easy to achieve.
Why men love this:
✔ Adds height and style
✔ Works great with a professional or evening look
💇Fades & Clean Sides: Precision Matters
Skin fades — whether high, mid, or low — continue to dominate because they provide a sharp contrast with textured tops. Clean sides + natural texture = best of both worlds.
Perfect for: A crisp look that transitions effortlessly from work to play.
🌟 Grooming Beyond the Cut: The Finishing Touch
Pro tip from Movemen Salon: Always bring inspiration photos to your appointment and chat with your barber about your daily routine — the right cut should fit your life, not just look good in a photo.
