Andrew Burnap’s Hair: Tapered Softly Swept Back Haircut
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the suavest barnet of them all? MFH reckons the magic mirror would choose Andrew Burnap’s hair, aka Snow White’s new leading man.
Why We Love It:
Snow White actor Andrew Burnap’s hair is pure storybook hero with a modern-day Manhattan twist. He might have just jumped off his noble steed…or, in his case, more likely a Broadway stage.
Although Andrew’s straight, thick hair has a classic vibe, yet doesnโt fall into the trap of looking stiff or overly groomed.
It has just the right amount of lift – great for rounder face shapes – that makes it look like he might have spent time styling it (only a little, mind), or else he might have just casually raked his fingers through it, and it’s emerged looking just so.
Regardless of your taste in fairy tales, this cut is absolutely ready for its close-up.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- If you’re after Andrew Burnap’s hair, ask for a medium-length scissor cut on top, with enough length to sweep back, ideally 3โ4 inches.
- Request soft layering/texture to give movement and prevent the top from sitting too flat.
- Ask for a low taper or soft fade on the back and sidesโnothing too harshโto maintain that prince-worthy polish.
- Tell your barber you want a clean neckline, but no dramatic disconnection; the blend should be smooth.
- Mention youโll be styling it back with volume, so shaping it with that in mind is key.
Get The Look
- To style your barnet like Andrew Burnap’s hair, start with towel-dried hairโdamp but not dripping.
- Work a volumising mousse or lightweight styling cream through the roots to build lift.
- Blow dry using a vented brush, directing hair back and slightly off-centre for a natural sweep.
- Once dry, use a matte paste or soft pomade, warmed between your fingers, and rake it back for control and texture.
- Use your hands more than a combโthe look should feel intentional, not rigid.
- Pull a strand of hair down onto the forehead like Andrew has, using a little of your pomade or paste to shape it and get it to sit right.
- Finish with light spritz of hairspray to keep things in place and looking polished.
