In 2015, the undercut stole the spotlight as the must-have haircut element. Let’s clear this up: the undercut isn’t a standalone hairstyle - it’s a cutting technique where the sides and back are closely shaved. So, when your barber asks, “Do you want an undercut with that?” they’re simply offering you a sharper, cleaner edge to pair with styles like the pompadour, slick-back, or quiff.
Now, let’s dive into the key hair trends for 2016. If you’re ready to switch things up, here’s what you should try:
Voluminous, Slightly Messy Fringe
Wave goodbye to overly sleek, perfectly styled hair from last year. 2016 is all about embracing texture - a natural, interwoven vibe achieved with a little wax or styling cream.
Ask your barber to trim your fringe to about 5–7 cm and taper the sides to a neat half-finger length. This cut gives you options: wear it tousled for a casual, laid-back vibe, or comb it straight for those moments when you want a polished, refined look.
The Messy Caesar
Channeling the style of ancient Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, this classic cut gets a fresh twist this year. Traditionally short (2–5 cm) with a natural fringe framing your forehead, the updated Caesar is all about a slightly messy finish.
As hairstylists suggest, "Add a bit of texture - it makes all the difference." With scissors crafting every detail, especially on the sides, this style maintains softness and avoids the blunt edges a clipper might leave behind.
Pro tip: if you’ve got thinning hair near your hairline, this look is your new best friend. 😉
The Closely Shaved Buzz Cut
Prefer a no-fuss, ultra-short style? The buzz cut - or crew cut - is your go-to for 2016. This bold, clean look works best for those with well-shaped, smooth heads. Opt for a cut under 1 cm if you’re looking to highlight a strong, masculine vibe.
Keep in mind, though, that a sharp buzz cut requires regular upkeep. Be ready to visit your barber twice a month to keep things fresh and precise.
From textured fringe to timeless Caesar cuts and bold buzz cuts, 2016 is all about effortless style with a touch of rugged charm. Whether you’re keeping it messy or going ultra-clean, these trends have got you covered.
