Textured Crop Hairstyle
The textured crop has become one of the hottest looks for the Australian summer and is perfect for guys who seek a low maintenance style with an effortlessly cool vibe. It's perfect for the warm weather and days spent outdoors. This is a haircut that is super easy to style; simply dust with texturising powder and rake through to add definition and control for an edgy yet effortless hairstyle!
The Modern Mullet
The modern versions of the mullet hairstyle are all about bold personality and attitude. The variations that are requested here at the barbershop are seemingly endless and this is a hairstyle that can be changed up in a thousand different ways. Adopted mostly in shorter versions, the modern mullet is rebellious yet refined. Through much innovation and the blending of barbering techniques, the mullet is in constant evolution and always seems fresh.
The Burst Fade
The burst fade is a modern barbering technique that helps to create dramatic hairstyles for men. It can be used to introduce a fade into the hairstyle while maintaining some length at the nape of the neck. Distinguished by its circular shape, the burst fade is usually cut around the ear or sometimes just at the temples. It provides men with more creative options when deciding how to cut their hair and works well within a faux-hawk, mo-hawk or mullet hairstyle.
Conclusion
The new year has come with a host of trends in hairstyles for men and it's a great time to change up your style. So, get in and see Mike and the team here at Barber Industries Kotara, we've got you covered with the latest and greatest developments in men's hair and will help keep you looking sharp and fashion forward.
