It’s 2026 and you’re probably looking for a trendy haircut to fit that new you. While there are many haircuts to choose from, picking the right one can be harder than it seems. For starters, we recommend choosing a style that most people in Singapore are already familiar with.
Popular hairstyles in Singapore are currently leaning towards clean and low maintenance. With our hot weather, these styles are much easier to manage and they look great for work too.
Trending Haircuts for Men in Singapore
1. Taper Fade
The taper fade is characterised by neat sides while leaving enough volume on top. The idea is to create a sharp, yet subtle look by blending longer hair to shorter lengths near the ear and neck.
With a thicker volume on top, lads can easily style their hair while keeping the overall look clean. The fade has been around for quite some time now, but it is still as relevant as ever, especially for the modern man.
2. textured crop
The textured crop is a modern cut that emphasises short sides and back, with a layered top. The hair on top will be pushed forward to create a fringe, adding flow and movement to your hair.
The fringe is usually worn in a tousled manner, creating a slight messy effect. This cut is also very easy to style as you only need a small amount of product to keep it in place.
On a side note, the crop can hide a receding hairline too—something many men start to experience over time.
3. Two Block Haircut
The two block is a haircut made popular by Korea, specifically K-pop idols and Korean drama actors. It has been a trending haircut in Korea for quite some time now, influencing many countries in Asia.
The haircut gives you a soft, youthful look while still looking neat and stylish. The idea is to create a contrasting effect between the sides/back and the top. Compared to the other two haircuts, this cut tends to leave a lot more hair on top and sometimes at the back.
This allows for styles like middle parts (curtains) or slightly more messy, wavy styles.
4. Undercut
The undercut is another classic style that has been around for a long time. It shares many similarities with the fade, featuring a shorter side/back with a longer top. The undercut however, has a more disconnected look compared to the blended effect of a fade.
This disconnection adds contrast to the side and top of the hair, making you look more rugged and bold. There are also many different ways to style an undercut.
Those with a longer top can go for a slicked-back look, while those who want something more casual can go for a quiff or side-part.
Trending Haircuts for Women in Singapore
1. Wolf Cut
The wolf cut is a trendy, layered hairstyle that combines elements of the shag and mullet. It is characterised by shorts layers at the top with longer lengths at the back. The style has a very 70s or 80s feel to it, largely due to its choppy and textured look.
It still looks modern for the most part, making it one of the more unique hairstyles out there. The wolf cut is perfect for wavy hair, working best with medium to long lengths or even some shorter styles.
2. Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs is a haircut where bangs are parted in the middle and swept to the side, like curtains. They are shorter in the center and gradually get longer towards the cheeks. This cut is perfect for medium to long hair and is easy to maintain.
Curtain bangs also grow out much nicer than regular bangs, meaning you don’t need regular trims. They even work well with a bunch of other styles including waves, curls, bobs and wolf cuts.
3. Long Bob
The long bob or lob is a medium-length haircut that falls between the chin and shoulders. It is fairly popular among women due to how easy it is to maintain. It has a length that is not too short and not too long, making it suitable for both work and casual settings.
It is also super adaptable and can be customised with layers, bangs or kept blunt. Ultimately, the lob is great for women who want to grow out shorter hair or want less length without going too short.
4. Pixie Cut
The pixie cut is sort of like a shorter version of the wolf cut. This style is defined by short, layered hair with more volume at the top and shorter sides and back. The biggest advantage of the pixie cut is how low maintenance it is.
It is considered one of the most fuss-free hairstyles any woman can wear, especially in Singapore’s weather. You practically need little to no styling for it to look good, and a quick blow-dry or even air-dry is usually enough.
Conclusion
Keeping it trendy with these trending haircuts is a great way to start your year. Singapore is considered a fashion-forward country after all, so why not let your hairstyle reflect that? Just remember to choose a style that suits your face best and most importantly, choose the right salon!
