Movement and texture will dominate, instead of heavy, chunky hair.

Scissor cuts will be done more often, combined with the zero fade that only a clipper and blade can achieve.

The best way to change your look is with your hair. So, here’s a little forecast on this year’s men’s hair trends!

Men’s haircuts are evolving from the popular ‘16 skin fade to a more layered, textured look. Scissor cuts will be done more often, combined with the zero fade that only a clipper and blade can achieve. Movement and texture will dominate, instead of heavy, chunky hair.

If you’re trying to find a new look for yourself, here are the styles of 2017 to ask your barber for.

The Undercut: Whether it’s a light taper or a high fade, the undercut isn’t going anywhere in ‘17. It suits almost anyone, and any hair type. Don’t be afraid to pair this with any of the following styles!

Slicked Back: Versatile and classy, this look changes rebellious long haired ‘hooligans’ into debonair gentlemen.

Modern Pompadour: Best worn with a high fade and a hard part.

Wide Fauxhawk: The polite version of the mohawk, with just a touch of subtle rebellion.

Hair Designs: Temporary hair ‘tattoos’, perfect for that week you’re off from work, or football season!

Salt n Pepper: Whether you’re colouring it or embracing your natural grey hair, 2017 is all about finding your silver lining!

The Man Braid: This is the next step in the evolution of the Man Bun.

Tidy Beards: Bye bye bushy beards, hello trimmed stubble and clean lines!

Just remember, every style depends on your hair texture, growth pattern and, of course, how much effort you’re willing to put into it!
