1. Key haircut trends:
This summer, styles that combine freshness, versatility, and personality are taking the lead. Some of the most requested in the salon are:
- Textured Buzz Cut: clipper cut at grade 2 or 3 with a defined fringe, matte effect, and natural finish. Needs a touch-up every 10–15 days to keep its shape.
- French Crop with Fade: short, slightly feathered fringe with strongly faded sides. Ideal for oval or elongated faces.
- Modern Pompadour: volume on top (blow-dried with a brush and finished with matte wax) paired with a low fade. Elegant yet easy to maintain if you like styling your hair.
- Short Mullet: the light version of the classic mullet, with a slightly longer nape but softer edges and faded sides. Gives a bold, edgy vibe —perfect for the daring.
- Taper: subtle fade at the sideburns and nape, ideal for those seeking a clean, natural look without drastic changes in length. Discreet, classic, and easy to maintain.
- Broccoli Hair: low fade combined with a choppy top that pushes volume forward. A fresh, carefree, youthful look —perfect for curly or wavy hair.
2. Ideal summer maintenance:
- We recommend visiting the barbershop every 3 weeks, though styles like the buzz cut or fade require more frequent touch-ups.
- If you spend a lot of time at the beach or playing sports, products like KINMEN 3-in-1 (shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel) simplify your routine while keeping hair and scalp balanced.
- For voluminous or textured looks, KINMEN Hair Matte Clay provides medium hold and a matte finish without weighing the hair down.
3. Day-to-night styling tips:
- During the day, protect your hair from the sun with a hat or cap, and apply a touch of lightweight hair oil if you’ll be swimming in the sea.
- At night, a small amount of finishing product (like KINMEN Hair Pomade or Hair Fiber Paste) helps you redefine your hairstyle without having to wash it again.
4. Who should (and shouldn’t) wear these looks?
- High fades and crop cuts are especially flattering for men in their 30s and 40s, even with receding hairlines or gray hair.
- The short mullet and more textured styles are great for creative personalities or younger clients.
- For thick or unruly hair, we recommend cuts with internal layers and using balms like KINMEN Beard Cream, also ideal for beards that need extra care during summer.
5. Mediterranean-inspired grooming
All products in the KINMEN line are inspired by the nature of the Mediterranean and formulated with marine actives such as Mediterranean seaweed and pine bud extract, which provide moisturizing, anti-aging, and protective properties. In addition, their packaging has been redesigned to be more sustainable and efficient.
