"This is a great choice if your looking to grow out a mullet," Matt explains. "There's a little less hair in the front of your face than a modern mullet and it can almost look like a classic style. It's easy to dress up smart or keep it real messy and casual. Think: Orlando Bloom's hair between 2013 and 2015 or Leonardo DiCaprio in The Basketball Diaries for straighter hair. (I know were aiming high with these as reference points…)"
"If your lucky enough to have a bit of curl or even a wave its a bloody lovely choice for you," says Hughes. "It's easy to style, relatively easy to maintain, and having the right products will get you a long way."
"With straighter hair, there are ways to get texture, via both the cut and the styling. But if I'm being honest, I'd recommend other styles if you have longer hair which lacks movement.”
The layers in this cut will always accentuate angular features in terms of face shape, and so naturally it's best suited to heart-shaped and triangular faces. Despite that, the weight of it is flattering for round face shapes as the length helps elongate.
Styling products are going to be your knight in shining armour for this style (see what we did there), as unruly, curly hair will need products to define your twirls and weigh them down.
But for wavy to straighter hair types, Matt suggests aiding your styling products by really working them in.
"If you don't have glorious curls in your hair, go in hard with a spritz of sea salt spring into damp hair (use it like a primer), then cream our Idris Grooming Cream is ideal. If you've got a diffuser, angle the head forward so the hair hangs down and diffuse till 99% dry. You'll lock volume in at the root, while still having enough product in the hair ends to weigh it down and control it."
"Alternatively, work the product in when damp and let it air dry. It's a bit quicker, and will still hold decent shape (depending on the trim).”
There we go. Bit technical but if you’re looking to either emulate the good looks of either a Prince or a Wolf this summer, you’re covered.
