If you’ve been in the professional hair industry for a while now, you’ll know that hair trends have changed dramatically over the years. Back in the late 90’s, clients wanted one thing, and one thing only… hair that was as straight as possible. Fast forward to 2026, and the conversation is pretty different. Instead of fighting against natural texture, clients are actually looking for ways to enhance it. Clients, whether they have curly, wavy or straight hair, are searching for a controlled way to make their natural texture easier to manage, and that’s exactly why services like QiQi Hair Controller have become so popular in salons. Let’s rewind and take a look at how we, as an industry, got to this point.
There’s a new era of men’s hair trends coming into salons this summer, and it’s time for the skin fades to step aside. For summer 2026, we’re seeing male haircut trends bring texture, movement and a whole lot of individuality. Including relaxed layering, voluminous styles and even a nod to a classic nostalgic 90’s cut, men’s haircuts are becoming far less structured. Clients are beginning to embrace their natural texture by growing their hair out and opting for styles that feel super cool and relaxed. So, if your clients are after a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, we have the men’s haircuts that are set to dominate summer 2026 that they might want to try.
