Cillian Murphy: Tapered Hairstyle With Long Floppy Fringe
He’s been winning his way around the 2024 film awards circuit – and Cillian Murphy’s tapered hairstyle has just won the (unofficial) MFH Award for Best Use of a Long, Floppy Fringe.
Why We Love It:
Cillian Murphy might be so preternaturally good-looking he can rock just about any hairstyle, but this tapered look with the side-parting and that floppy fringe is his most flattering hair look yet.
Especially when you compare it to his severe Peaky Blinders haircut – a hard hairstyle to pull off for even the prettiest of faces.
Cillian has recently been wearing his hair in a centre-parted curtain style, but this side-parted fringe style not only flatters his features more, but it shows that a simple change to a hair parting can have a big impact.
It also looks like Cillian has dyed his hair (no judgement here BTW) because his hair is naturally quite grey.
But he’s gone for a rich chocolate colour with warmth in it, rather than a severe black dye, so it looks more natural and not too harsh against his skin.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- For Cillian Murphy’s hair look, ask for a mid-length scissor cut.
- The cut has been tapered skillfully around the ears and at the nape of the neck.
- Show your hairdresser where you like your side-part.
- They’ll need to leave a bit of length on the top – a good 3-4 inches, especially around the fringe area.
- And they’ll layer/point cut it to soften the shape, give it a little texture, and make it sit better.
Get The Look
- Cillian’s hair is in great condition.
- So use shampoo/conditioning products containing as few chemicals as possible.
- And, ideally, use a deep conditioning treatment once a week.
- After washing your hair, put a drop or two of hair oil (find a light formula that won’t make hair greasy) on your fingers and rub together to warm the product up, before running through your hair.
- Spritz on some heat protector.
- Part your hair on the side.
- Then blow dry your hair on a low heat, ruffling it gently as you dry it.
- Hold your hairdryer downwards as you dry it, which helps to keep the hair cuticles smooth.
- If you have hair with wave and want Cillian’s straight hair look, then use a pair of straighteners on your curtains.
- Then use a little pomade and tousle the top of the hair and the fringe a little.
- The side parting doesn’t need to be severe – you want a soft, slightly textured look.
- Spritz a small amount of shine spray on the hair when you’ve finished.
