You know that weird phase between summer and winter? When your T-shirts slowly turn into hoodies, and iced coffees somehow feel wrong? Yeah, that’s also the time your haircut starts feeling… off. Too short for the cold, too plain for the season. That’s when most of our guys at QS Barbershop Rotterdam decide, alright, it’s time to grow this thing out.

There’s something about the colder months that just makes longer hair work. Maybe it’s the jackets, the beanies, or just the whole slower vibe of winter, but it fits. And if you’ve been stuck with the same fade since June, this is your cue to switch it up.

Why Growing It Out in Winter Makes Sense

Here’s the thing: summer cuts are fun. Quick fade, clean neck, low effort, done. But in winter, that sharp skin fade can feel a bit too chilly (literally). Plus, your hair grows faster than you think. Before you know it, that clean look turns into something in-between, not short, not long, just kinda “meh.”

So why not grow it with intention this time? Go for that textured mid-length, that messy slick-back, or that effortless wavy look that takes zero effort but looks like it did. Winter’s the season to experiment, to actually let it grow instead of buzzing it off every three weeks.

Keep It Fresh While You Grow

A little secret? Letting your hair grow doesn’t mean skipping your barber. Please don’t do that. That’s how you end up with that awkward, puffy thing that doesn’t know what it wants to be.

We’ve got a few tricks up our sleeve at QS Barbershop, trims that keep your shape clean while letting the length build naturally. We’ll tidy up your neckline, taper the sides just enough, and help you find a style that looks good midway through the process, not just at the end.

And because winter air can be brutal (especially here in Rotterdam), we’ll get you sorted with the right stuff to keep your hair from drying out, maybe a bit of argan oil, maybe a styling cream that doesn’t flake. You’ll thank us later.

New Season, New You (Or at Least a Better Version)

If you’ve been thinking about trying something different, longer, heavier, maybe even curly, do it now. Let this season be the one where you stop saying “I might grow it out” and actually do.

Come by QS Barbershop Rotterdam, grab a seat, and let’s figure out what suits your face, your vibe, and your patience level. We’ll make sure your transition from short to grown-out feels sharp, not sloppy.

Book your spot today, and by the time spring hits, you’ll be rocking that winter-grown flow everyone asks about.
