This year, comfort and practicality are taking over the fashion scene in full force. If you've been paying attention, you might have noticed that mixing high-end and budget-friendly pieces is becoming the new norm.
By "high-low," we're talking about pairing that sleek, designer shirt with a pair of budget chinos you grabbed on sale. And it doesn’t stop there - even hairstyles are catching onto this trend, blending timeless classics with a fresh, youthful twist.
Textured Quiff
The polished, structured Pompadour is making way for the more laid-back Textured Quiff, a style that’s quick to achieve and effortlessly cool.
How to cut it:
Divide your hair into three sections: the middle section should remain long, around 5 cm or more, while the sides are cut shorter for contrast. Ask your barber to use scissors throughout, creating a softer, more natural finish. Make sure to mention that you’re going for a slightly messy, undone look, so they can use layering techniques to achieve the desired effect.
How to style it:
Start with blow-dried hair and add a matte-finish wax. Rub a small amount between your palms and apply evenly throughout your hair. Use your fingertips to tousle the quiff, either slicking it back or letting it fall naturally - whatever suits your style. The key to nailing the Textured Quiff is keeping it natural and not too perfect.
Tousled Curls
If you’ve got naturally curly hair, this style is your best friend, especially when dealing with hard-to-manage curls. Tousled Curls bring out the natural texture while keeping things stylish and low-maintenance.
How to cut it:
Tell your stylist to use point-cutting techniques on the bangs for a layered, lightweight effect. The sides and back can be trimmed shorter to add contrast with the longer top, using either scissors or clippers depending on your preference.
How to style it:
This is one of the easiest styles to maintain. Simply blow-dry your hair, work in some styling product, and tousle it with your fingertips for that naturally messy look. When it comes to the bangs, you can either sweep them up or let them fall casually across your forehead. A cream or paste wax works best, as heavier products like clay might make curly hair sticky or tangled.
Slick Side Part
This style is a sleek fusion of two classic cuts: the slick back and the side part. With this look, you’ll keep the clean, defined part of the side part while adding a sleek, slicked-down finish.
How to cut it:
The sides and back should be trimmed down to about 1 cm, while you let the top grow to around 7-8 cm. Thinning out the top slightly will make it easier to style.
How to style it:
This timeless look requires a good comb to create the perfect part. Apply pomade to damp or blow-dried hair, working it through evenly to give your hair some shine and hold. Once the product is in, use your comb and fingers to slick the hair according to your part. To highlight the slicked-back effect, lift the bangs a bit higher than you would for a regular side part.
