THE HOTTEST TRENDS IN SUMMER HAIRSTYLES FOR YOUNG BOYS

September 29, 2023
As we charge on through spring we welcome the warm weather and think it’s a good time to talk summer hairstyles and more specifically the latest styles and hottest trends for young boys. With our barbers keeping busy at our new Cairns Central Barber Industries barbershop, let’s see what is being requested and what is fresh for the coming summer season.

Zero Fade Buzz Cut

There are a few good reasons why the shorter spectrum of hairstyles are so popular for boys in the warmer months. They are fast drying, require easy or no styling and look good throughout the rough and tumble of the long summer days. A super short style, like a high fade buzz cut needs zero attention in the morning or after swimming and will keep the boys looking sharp as a razor all day long.

Textured Crop Top

For a little more length up top, a choppy textured look is a great choice for the free spirited young lads and also requires little maintenance. A texturising powder, wax, clay or matte pomade can be worked through the hair for quick and care-free styling. The textured top can be paired with a fade or taper on the sides, with the taper becoming increasingly popular and the trendy look for the boys this year.

Mullets & Mohawks

We wouldn’t be correctly talking about trends without the inclusion of the mullet. The mullet remains one of the hottest hairstyles for the young boys right now and there are many different variation being requested at the  barbershop. A mohawk style mullet is definitely one of hottest trends for the season. Super popular with the sporting types and footy kids. A few razor lines or a pattern on the sides adds a dynamic and personalised touch.
