Why We Love It:

Archie Gray’s cut is a winning men’s hairstyles example of how natural texture can be elevated by a ‘surprise’ fade/undercut.

The fullness up top lifts his face, with that curly fringe adding a flattering softness, and the clean fade/undercut giving a youthful edge.

What really shines here – aside from how glossy Archie’s hair is – is the way Archie embraces his natural curl pattern, a move more athletes are leaning into as part of the wider trend of authenticity on and off the field.

While Archie hasn’t been super vocal about his grooming routine, yet, his hairstyle fits perfectly into the new wave of effortless, curly looks that athletes like him have popularised.

Watch out—this look is hair goals both on the pitch and at the barbershop.

What To Ask Your Barber:

If Archie Gray’s hair has caught your eye, ask your barber for a rounded curly top with a defined undercut.
The key here is maintaining the curls at the top, so specify that you want volume and movement—avoid thinning out the curls too much.
Request a tight undercut on the sides, but with a soft transition, to keep it looking neat without being too harsh. Mention a slight fade on the back to keep the look fresh and modern, blending the top seamlessly into the sides.
Your barber might want to dry-cut or style the hair to help shape those curls naturally.
Also, consider asking them to add a little texture to avoid too much bulk.

Get The Look

Archie Gray’s hair is in great condition and curly hair does need a lot of TLC.
This means not washing it too much and when you do, use a nourishing, sulfate-free shampoo and a curl-enhancing conditioner to keep those curls defined and hydrated.
You can add a little leave-in conditioner and a curl cream to your barnet and let it dry naturally, giving it a scrunch as it dries to shape the curls.
But if you prefer to blowdry, always use a diffuser on low-medium heat.
A diffuser can help maintain the curls’ natural shape while giving you volume.
If you opt to blow dry, work in a curl cream or leave-in conditioner, and then spritz on some heat protector.
Hold the diffuser right up to your curls, drying a small section at a time.
Then use your fingers (with a tiny amount of pomade if necessary) or a wide-tooth comb to define the curls.
No need to overwork the style—Archie’s look is all about letting the curls do their thing.
