Summer brings sun, saltwater, humidity and heat — all of which can change how your hair behaves. With a few intentional adjustments, you can maintain your hair health, preserve shape and achieve a relaxed, confident look without over-styling.

We believe men’s grooming in Summer is about ease with intention.

1. Start With a Clean, Fresh Cut

Hair reacts differently in warmer weather — it expands, softens and holds product differently. A structured cut keeps things under control while still looking relaxed.

For short hair, a fade or tapered cut keeps you cool and sharp.
For medium or longer hair, remove excess weight through the sides and ends to encourage natural movement.

The goal is simple: shape that requires minimal effort.

2. Strengthen & Protect the Hair

Sun, salt and chlorine can dry and weaken the hair if left unmanaged. The key is to maintain softness and resilience without creating heaviness.

A simple summer routine:

Shampoo gently 2–3 times per week.
After washing, apply Kinky Muk Leave-In Conditioner — it protects, hydrates and softens while keeping the hair light and manageable.
After ocean or pool swims, rinse with fresh water to remove salt or chlorine.
If your hair feels dry, work a small amount of oil into the ends only.

This is maintenance with purpose — supporting the natural health of the hair so it sits well through the season.

3. Make styling easy

Summer calls for styling that looks natural, feels light and holds all day.

Apply Moon Dust Texture Powder at the roots to add structure and lift — especially useful in heat or humidity.
Then finish with King Brown Matte Pomade. The matte finish keeps the hair looking natural, while the malt extract conditions, ensuring the hair stays soft and touchable.
Keep styling minimal — a finger-run or simple comb is enough.

The result: controlled, relaxed, quietly confident.

4. Recommended Summer Base Haircuts

The Clean Fade - Low-maintenance, cool, sharp — ideal for active days and high heat.
The Textured Crop - Works with the season — soft volume, easy control, no fuss.
The Medium Wave - If you’ve been growing your hair, embrace the natural shape with light product and movement. Variations are shown in the 3rd and 4th images of medium length hairstyles below.

These 3 haircuts are great bases for total customisation to suit your personal style and preferences. For example The Clean Fade could be adapted to a Burst Fade, The Crop - a blow out taper or the Medium Wave, transformed into a mullet.
