Oasis: The Men's Hair Movement
The Oasis Hair Movement: Get The Look
Oasis are back, and so is the Mod haircut. Yep! This revival look is set to trickle its way back as our excitement builds towards the upcoming Oasis reunion.
“With the buzz around the Oasis reunion tour, we’re most definitely going to see our customers looking to grow, style and reclaim these iconic hairstyles,” says Jonathan Andrew, Fudge Professional and go-to scissorhands for Jamie Redknapp. “Without a doubt, every Mod haircut is going to come back with a bang! I think it is a cool haircut and we’ve been seeing a nod to this look for a while with the mullet anyway. Guys are going to be far more open to adopting this revival look – with a modern twist, I expect.
“As your barber to update this look slightly, with more texture to get a little bit more movement. You will see people who had mullets previously trying something different so they’re getting ahead of the trend but keeping it unique to them.
“I’ll be adapting the style to encourage guys to grow out the sides, but I'll keep a lot of length through the sides and the front, whilst adding texture through the top and just making it a bit more of a shaggy, messy look rather than a very straight fringe that the brothers had originally.
“I expect to see lots of texture coming in with this new updated Oasis cut. I think this is a great time of year for this look because guys’ hair will be shorter, ready for colder weather, big coats, scarfs. It’s always great to have shorter hair during those months just because you can deal with the style and keep it in shape a lot longer.”
To style this look, think about hair products that give texture and shape. Jonathan recommends Fudge Professional Salt Spray £14.99) to help add in that texture and give you a bit more grip and hold throughout the styling process. Another must use, is the Fudge Professional XXL Hair Thickener Cream £15.99. “If you are on the slightly finer side and looking to recreate the hair of the 90s, this is a great product as it contains polymers that help swell the hair when heated, giving you
100% more density, so you can really thicken up those haircuts and styles,” he says.
To finish off the look, Jonathan uses the iconic Fudge Professional Matte Hed £16.49, to give matte texture and lots of control.
