While designers generally prioritized ease-of-wear for their men’s spring 2026 collections in Paris, some hairstyles ran counter-current to that trend.
While there were a large quotient of natural or simply gelled looks, others took an edgier tack. At Sean Suen, wing-like ponytails were crafted at the back of some heads. For Willy Chavarria, volume was often pumped up with bouffants. While one model at KidSuper had a crimped plume of tresses cascading over the left-side of her head, echoing the netted decor festooning her white gown.
For Comme des Garçons, braids of various sizes snaked down models’ fronts after cascading from under hats. A look at Yohji Yamamoto came accompanied by long, loose hair topped with a poof of multilengthed, black ribbons.
Pink plastic hair rollers were worn as accessories at AWGE. Colored coifs were the rage at Juyana Watanabe and Jeanne Friot. And LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi featured models with very shaggy mop tops.
