Bill Skarsgård’s Hair: Short Back And Sides With Side Part
Known for playing intense, brooding roles, The Crow actor Bill Skarsgård’s hair is a clever choice – because this classic, clean-cut look doesn’t detract from his somewhat menacing screen presence.
Why We Love It:
Bill Skarsgård’s hair in this short back and sides style is a striking contrast to his dark and brooding on-screen roles. And that’s exactly what makes it interesting.
Known for playing sinister characters like Pennywise the terrifying clown in It, you can catch him starring in The Crow remake in cinemas now.
The short back and sides is a classic, polished style that’s tailored and tidy, which contrasts sharply with the chaotic, disturbed energy of many of his characters.
This style also highlights his sharp Swedish bone structure (he’s Alexander Skarsgård’s younger brother) and that strong jawline.
It’s a great cut if you have fine hair because there’s enough texture to give it a little volume and movement which makes it look thicker.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Keen on Bill Skarsgård’s hair? Your barber would use clippers on the back and sides, often with a guard size between #1 and #3, depending on how short you want it.
- The sides are tapered, fading from shorter at the bottom near the nape and ears to slightly longer toward the crown.
- Your barber will then blend the shorter sides into the longer top using clipper-over-comb techniques or scissors, ensuring a smooth transition.
- This is key to keeping the cut looking sharp while maintaining a clean and polished finish.
- The hair on top is left longer compared to the sides. The barber would use scissors to trim the top, often keeping it 1.5-2 inches long.
- The goal here is to create enough length to slick it back or to the side, but still keep it manageable and sleek.
- Texturising scissors may be used to add a bit of texture and movement.
- Get your hair trimmed every 4-6 weeks to maintain the shape of the cut.
Get The Look
- Bill Skarsgård’s hair is in great condition.
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo and a nourishing conditioner. Look for ingredients like argan oil, biotin, and keratin to promote shine and hair health.
- Before drying your hair, apply a lightweight volumising mousse.
- You can part your hair at the side and allow it to dry naturally, ruffling it a little as it dries.
- Or if using a hair dryer, spritz on heat protector first, part the hair at the side, then blow dry it, gently ruffling the texture as you go.
- Next, apply a very small amount of matte pomade, wax, or styling cream.
- Work it between your palms and distribute evenly through the hair, to smooth any flyaways, and bring the texture to life.
- Keep your scalp in good condition by exfoliating once a week with a gentle scalp scrub and avoiding overly harsh products that could cause dryness or irritation.
- Also incorporate a deep conditioning mask once a week to keep your hair hydrated and strong.
