As 2025 comes to an end, it’s the perfect time for men to refresh their look and step into 2026 with a sharp, confident style. From classic cuts with modern finishes to edgy textured styles, the latest men’s haircut trends blend style, personality, and easy maintenance — ideal for Indian hair and climate.
Whether you prefer a clean corporate look or a relaxed, influencer-style vibe, here are the top men’s haircut trends you should try before 2026 begins.
1. The Textured Crop
A global favorite that’s become a staple in Indian salons, the textured crop offers effortless cool. It works well with all hair types, especially thick or wavy hair.
Why it’s trending: Easy to maintain, adds volume, and gives a youthful look.
Pro Tip: Pair it with a subtle fade or undercut for a clean, modern finish.
2. The Taper Fade
Still one of the most requested men’s haircuts at Kapils Salon, the taper fade offers versatility and sharp definition. It’s a timeless style that works with any outfit — from streetwear to formal.
Why it’s trending: Professional yet stylish; ideal for hot Indian weather.
Pro Tip: Ask your stylist to blend the fade gradually for a natural transition that flatters your face shape.
3. The Modern Mullet
Yes, the mullet is back — but with a modern twist! The new-age mullet features shorter sides with longer, textured hair at the back. It’s bold, fashion-forward, and perfect for those who love to stand out.
Why it’s trending: Celebrity-inspired and perfect for men with wavy or curly hair.
Pro Tip: Use a lightweight styling cream to keep the texture natural and non-greasy.
4. The Classic Pompadour
A timeless hairstyle that continues to evolve, the pompadour remains a symbol of sophistication. Perfect for festive events or weddings, it adds instant polish and volume.
Why it’s trending: Suits most face shapes and gives a stylish, elevated finish.
Pro Tip: Blow-dry your hair upward for lift, and use a matte-finish pomade for lasting hold.
5. The Buzz Cut
Minimalist and masculine, the buzz cut has made a big comeback — this time with personalized variations like faded edges or short beard blends.
Why it’s trending: Low-maintenance, clean, and confident.
Pro Tip: Ideal for men dealing with hair thinning or scalp heat.
