Bowen Yang’s Hair: Crew Cut With High Fade
Serving razor-sharp style with this crew cut and high fade, Saturday Night Live comedian Bowen Yang’s hair is as fuss-free and on point as his deadpan delivery.
Why We Love It:
Bowen Yangโs hair in this crew cut with a high fade is sharp look – apt for the Saturday Night Live comedian who specialises in biting satire.
What makes this cut work so well for him? Bowen is blessed with the holy grail combo for a crew cut: fine strands but plenty of them, and naturally straight hair that holds structure without too much fuss.
For blokes with similar barnets this style offers a jackpot of benefits: the high fade gives sharp modernity, while the textured top gives the illusion of volume and density (perfect if your hair sometimes sits flatter than your punchlines ๐).
The best bit? This style requires minimal upkeep – perfect for anyone with a snooze button addiction.
A quick trim every month keeps the fade looking sharp, while a small amount of matte product and a quick tousle is all it takes to be camera-ready. (You can check out his hair on the big screen, too, in The Wedding Banquet out 9 May).
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Bowen Yang’s hair is straight and thick so this heavily textured crew cut works perfectly for his hair type.
- Request a classic crew cut with a fade on the sides and back.
- Specify that the top should be approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length, allowing for slight texturing.
- Discuss your hair type and face shape to tailor the fade and top length accordingly. For example, you could opt for a more dramatic look and have a skin fade, or keep it softer like Bowen’s.
- Ask for a sharp, clean hairline to enhance the crispness of the fade.
- Be prepared to see your barber at least once a month to keep this cut looking fresh.
Get The Look
- Bowen Yang’s hair is perfect for those who don’t want a high-maintenance look.
- You can simply apply a small amount of aย matte finish product – such as American Crew Fiber – to add texture without shine.
- Apply a tiny amount to damp hair, working it through evenly from roots to tips.
- You can always apply more product later if you need it.
- Blow dry the hair on medium heat, ruffling it and pulling it slightly upwards and over to the side like Bowen’s.
- Apply more product to dry hair as needed using your fingers to shape the top.
- Even though this hairstyle is short, you do need to ensure you use a very light conditioner every time you wash it to ensure it doesn’t get too dry.
- If you find you have product build-up, also use a ‘detox’ shampoo once every couple of weeks which you can pick up in a high street store like Boots or Superdrug.
- And if you’re keen to save on trips to the barber, also consider investing in quality clippers/trimmer to keep your fade fresh.
