Choose your flow
The first step to achieving the perfect flow is setting your hockey hair goals. From lettuce layers to the magic mullet, choose the signature look that works best for you! To begin, identify your hair type: straight, wavy, curly or coily. Then, consider your current or desired hair length. If you have longer locks, the smooth slick-back or a classic ponytail are great options, while a fade or pixie cut are ideal for short styles. If you're unsure what you like, take inspiration from NHL® players that have hair like yours or check out our lookbook for more recommendations!

Your local Great Clips salon is ready to help you light the lamp with an all-star hairstyle.

Build a product lineup

Maintain your mane
Now that you’re ready to hit the ice with fresh lettuce, it’s time for a gameday haircare routine!

Consistency is key, and nothing boosts confidence like effortless hockey hair!
