Billy Barratt’s Hair: Shaggy Medium Length Curls
Bring her Back actor Billy Barratt’s hair is a recipe for cool: a splash of hip indie film star, a dollop of lead singer energy and a sprinkling of laid back surfer dude.
Why We Love It:
Billy Barratt’s hair pulls off the ultimate vibe, balancing casual dishevelment with just a touch of polish.
Because there’s an art to looking like you’re not trying too hard. And the Bring Her Back actor’s style hits that sweet spot.
This deceptively simple cut is perfect for those with fine hair that sits somewhere between wavy and curly and is prone to going flat without the right cut and care.
Billy’s hairstylist has opted for a layered approach that keeps weight through the sides while encouraging volume on top.
And it’s the layers that are key here. If the cut is too blunt, the hair will look heavy and shapeless. Or if it’s too thinned out, you risk losing curl definition. Billy’s hair strikes the perfect balance: a choppy fringe, longer layers around the crown, and a scissor-cut shape that will still look on point as it grows out.
Fine, curly hair like Billy’s needs moisture as hydration keeps frizz at bay without sacrificing volume. Using lightweight curl creams or sea salt sprays helps enhance natural waves and loose curls like Billy’s without weighing things down.
A diffuser on your hair dryer is also a must-have: it gives curls lift without frying them and keeps frizz levels under control.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Billy Barratt’s hair is a medium-length scissor cut with layered texture.
- Ask your barber to maintain length at the fringe: aim for it to sit just above the brows when dry.
- Your barber will need to cut soft layers around the crown and sides to enhance curl movement without thinning too much.
- It’s best for your stylist to avoid clipper work to keep edges natural and soft.
- Ask your barber to cut your hair while dry so they can check how the curls fall in their natural state as they’re cutting.
Get The Look
- Shampoo no more than 2–3 times per week using a sulphate-free shampoo if possible to avoid stripping natural oils.
- Opt for a moisturising conditioner (or a light leave-in one) every time you wash, focusing on mid-lengths to ends.
- Use a curl-enhancing cream or light mousse on damp hair. This Bumble and Bumble product – which is a combo of mousse and sea salt spray – is ideal for lift and texture.
- For anyone with fine texture like Billy’s hair, avoid anything too heavy. Look for lightweight formulas.
- Air-drying is ideal, but if you’re in a rush, use a diffuser on a low heat and speed setting.
- Tilt your head upside down to encourage volume. Hold the diffuser close to your hair, and scrunch gently with your hands help define your curls.
- Apply a few drops of lightweight hair oil or serum once dry to tame any flyaways. Don’t overload the hair though!
- Rub it into your hands to warm it up, and twist your curls into coils with your fingers, too.
- Regular hydration masks once a fortnight, or a good treatment product, can help with softness and frizz control.
