The Hype Around Mats Hummels' Hair

Mats Julian Hummels, a footballer born in 1988 and a German international defender, is allowed to stand out for more than what he does with a ball. Time and again the man draws attention with his unusual haircuts, and some of them end up setting trends. That is exactly the subject we have taken to heart today, so this Charlemagne Premium blog post can explain what is going on with one Mats Hummels haircut or another. Enjoy the read.

The Successful Football Career of Mats Hummels

First, a word on the man himself. Even though anyone living in Germany will already know exactly who he is. Why? Hummels played for the German national team from 2010 to 2018. From the age of seven he was also at Bayern Munich. During his career, along with the haircuts, the running joke made of him by Yussuf Poulsen of RB Leipzig did the rounds, though going into that here would take us well off topic.

The No Less Successful Haircut Trends

Hummels is often in the spotlight, not least for how frequently his hair changes. Following what is a fairly standard motto in football: Beckham did it first, I will go one better. Bleached blond or styled up into a mohawk. There is not much ground left for the competition to cover.

His haircuts even get published as art on Getty Images.

Why Does Mats Hummels Change His Hair So Often?

A fair question to ask. Why does the man switch his hair so often?

In his own words, in reply to a post on Twitter, Hummels commented on the subject in December 2016 like this:

"I really have to stop making these stupid bets …"

Whether the lost bet is the truth or just a smart bit of PR, we will leave that one alone.

One thing is certain, though. His hair does not just make headlines, it also picks up plenty of imitators who are all in on the look. Otherwise you would not have landed on this Charlemagne Premium blog post.

To actually wear one of these cuts, the best route is simply to bring a photo of the style you want to your barber. He knows his trade, he will know what to do and can put the Hummels look on your head.

As you have read, the Mats Hummels haircut is not one single thing, and it is not hard to copy. Once you know which of his many styles you want for yourself, the barber you trust is the way to get it. The loose, casual look or the sharper business cut, either way you are on safe ground with it. And to style it properly you will find the right hair and beard care products in the Charlemagne Premium shop, because:

„A healthy and well groomed beard is important for a real man, that's why we offer everything you need to keep yours doing so.“

As barbers with more than 20 years in the trade between us, we went looking for styling and care products that convinced us completely. There were some good products out there, but none that gave us everything we needed. After some thought, in 2014 we decided to develop our own range. For two years we spent every free minute after work at the barbershop down in our cellar, refining the formulas. When it came to ingredients, only the best was good enough. We bought the finest jojoba oils available in Morocco, and argan oil from Italy.

After two years and a good many attempts, our first product line was ready, and it has been winning our customers over ever since – we think 98% positive reviews speak for themselves. Since the official launch in 2016 we have kept developing it, of course. That is one of the reasons Charlemagne Premium products have won not just one but several comparison tests in recent years.

You will find all our products right here in our online store. For any questions about them, you can reach us any time at info@charlemagne-premium.com.
