March is that awkward in-between season. One day it’s freezing, the next you’re sweating. So how do you pick a haircut that handles both? This is the time of year when flexibility is key—styles that work with hats and hoods but still hold up when the layers come off.
At Frankie the Barber, we’re all about cuts that can ride out the last cold snaps and carry you into the warmer, sunnier days ahead. Here’s how to pick a transitional style that works through the season shift.
1. Medium-Length Fades
A tight skin fade might feel too harsh on cold mornings, but a medium fade with some length on the sides and top gives you the warmth you want without losing shape as spring kicks in.
Why it works:
- Keeps your head from freezing in March.
- Leaves room to style as the weather improves.
- Grows out nicely without needing constant touch-ups.
2. The Layered Crop
Heavy, thick winter hair can feel suffocating when temperatures rise. Adding layers into your cut gives your hair movement and texture while taking out bulk, making it easier to style in changing weather.
Why it works:
- Reduces weight without losing length.
- Looks good under hats and uncovered.
- Adds natural volume for windier spring days.
3. Longer Top, Tighter Sides
This is the season for versatility. Keep the top a bit longer so you can style it up or sweep it back on the warmer days, while the sides stay neat and low-maintenance no matter the weather.
Why it works:
- You can wear it messy or clean depending on the day.
- Works with almost any hair type.
- Looks intentional whether it’s been two weeks or six since your last cut.
4. Beard Adjustments for the Season
March is also prime time to decide whether you’re keeping the winter beard or dialing it back. If you’re not ready to lose it completely, consider a shorter, tighter shape that works with spring vibes.
Pro Tip:
A lighter beard style paired with a clean haircut feels fresh without going full baby face.
5. Product Swap: Winter to Spring
March is when it’s smart to swap heavier, wax-based products for lighter clays, pastes, or sprays that give your hair movement without locking it down.
