Austin Butler’s Hair: Wavy, Tousled Quiff
Austin Butler’s hair always looks good, and the tousled quiff he rocked at The Bikeriders premiere was as effortlessly cool as you’d expect.
Why We Love It:
On or off-screen, Austin Butler’s hair always gives us serious inspiration, and this messy quiff style doesn’t disappoint.
It’s actually very similar to the style he sports in his new film, The Bikeriders, as Benny, a mysterious member of the 1960s Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club.
Luckily, it’s a style that suits Austin’s thick, wavy hair. And that tousled texture gives his hair a bit of oomph and movement, while the volume on top softens his long, angular face shape too.
It’s a look that has a classic rock ‘n’ roll vibe, paying homage to icons like Elvis (whom he also played in a film not that long ago) yet with a modern, mullet-esque twist that keeps it current.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- If you’re after a vibe like Austin Butler’s hair, show your stylist a picture of what you want.
- The stylist will start by dividing the hair into manageable sections, and cutting the back and sides first.
- The sides are cut shorter, with the back left to around an inch above the collar.
- The hair on top is around 2-3 inches long.
- Austin’s stylist will have chopped into it to give it texture and movement and to remove weight so it sits well.
Get The Look
- If you’ve got thick, wavy hair like Austin Butler’s hair, it’s all about working with your natural texture, not against it.
- On damp hair, add a curl cream or volumising mousse, then a sea salt/texture spray.
- Dry the hair on medium heat using your hands to tousle it as you go, and a small vent brush to lift the hair on top at the roots, and anywhere else you want some volume.
- When the hair is dry, switch your hairdryer to cold air and use the diffuser attachment, holding it against a small section of hair at a time for a more tousled, natural finish.
- Use a tiny bit of pomade or similar to shape your hair a little more when it’s completely dry.
