Need an introduction to hair systems? We've got you covered!

 

Tournaments like the Rugby World Cup have become synonymous with showcasing not just athletic prowess but also unique personal styles. From mohawks to dreadlocks, buzzcuts to mullets, rugby player hairstyles have made headlines and inspired trends around the world. We are sure that fans and professionals in the hair industry eagerly watch these events to spot the latest hairstyle trends and draw inspiration for their clients.

Without further ado, allow us to introduce some of the hairstyles from this year's Rugby World Cup that have caught our eye.

 

Mullet

Jonathan Taumateine, Samoa

Scrum-half, Jonathan Taumateine is a talented rugby player who represented Samoa in this year's Rugby World Cup.

You can't help but notice the striking rugby hairstyle of Jonathan Taumateine, who hails from Samoa. His distinctive look combines blonde coloring with a mullet, making it one of the standout haircuts of the tournament. His mullet is an elaborate hairstyle that is characterized by short hair at the front and sides of the head and longer hair at the back which can vary in length.

The resurgence of the modern mullet is no random occurrence either. Its revival has been anticipated for some time, primarily through the viral videos of young men flaunting their hairstyles on TikTok.

 

 

Buzz Cut

Owen Farrell, England

In stark contrast to Jonathan Taumanteine, England's captain and fly-half, Owen Farrell made a much more understated choice for the World Cup tournament by adopting a buzzcut hairstyle.

A buzzcut is a very short haircut characterized by closely cropped or shaved hair all over the head. It's a simple and low-maintenance hairstyle that typically requires the use of clippers with different guard lengths to achieve the desired level of shortness.

In terms of hairstyles for a hair systems (also commonly known as men’s human hair wigs, hair toupees, hair units, and men’s hairpieces), opting for a buzzcut toupee wouldn't be advisable, as it would somewhat negate the purpose of wearing a hair system. That is to say, men choose to have hair again to be able to style it or simply run their fingers through it. Plus, going too short with your hairstyle risks unnecessarily exposing the hair system base and making a natural blend with your own hair trickier.

 

 

Afro High Top

Siya Kolisi, South Africa

Siya Kolisi currently holds the esteemed position of captain for the Springboks, making history as the first black player to achieve this distinction. He wears the No. 6 shirt in his position as blindside flanker.

Kolisi has maintained his distinct Afro high-top hairstyle for this World Cup. This particular style is characterized by the hair being grown out into a rounded, dome-like shape, while the sides and back are usually kept shorter or even shaved.

In case you were wondering, we offer hair systems with Afro hair too.

Dreadlocks

Shōta Horie, Japan

Shōta Horie is the hooker for the Japanese national team.

He boasts a unique style with his mid-length dreadlocks that come into their own during the game. Dreadlocks are a hairstyle characterized by long, matted, and twisted strands of hair. Dreadlocks are created by allowing hair to naturally mat and coil over time, or they can be intentionally formed by twisting or backcombing sections of hair.

 

 

Mohawk

RG Snyman, South Africa

The South African player primarily plays as a lock in the team but with his easily recognisable mohawk hairstyle and a rugged, thick beard, RG Snyman could easily pass for a formidable warrior straight out of the Viking Age. It's no wonder his nickname is ... Viking!

His mohawk is a bold hairstyle characterized by a strip of hair, usually longer and upright, running down the center of the scalp, while the sides are typically shaved or closely cropped. This style creates a striking contrast between the central strip and the bare sides, giving it a unique and edgy appearance.

By the way, this is not a suitable hairstyle for a hair system - a faux hawk, yes, but not a mohawk!

 

 

Skullet (Bald with Mullet)

Esteban Inostroza, Chile

A top contender for the most outlandish haircut of the tournament, Chilean rugby pillar Esteban Inostroza who plays as a prop, has certainly made a lasting impression. With a bald crown and flowing locks cascading from his ears, his signature hairstyle has been his trademark since 2017.

His striking hairstyle is a unique blend of characteristics, featuring a bald or closely shaved crown on the top of his head, combined with a mullet at the back. This mullet showcases longer strands of hair that cascade down the neck, creating a noticeable and bold contrast in length, ranging from just slightly longer than the top to several inches, making it an attention-grabbing and distinctive fashion choice.
