Dino Fetscher: Side Swept Crew Cut
Fool Me Once actor Dino Fetscher steals the hairstyle show with his on-point, easy-to-maintain crew cut. Let’s go over to the short side…
Why We Love It:
MFH is all about the neat, classic simplicity of Dino Fetscher’s side swept crew cut.
Characterised by its short back and sides with slightly more top length, a low-fuss crew cut hairstyle is your best mate for those days you just want to roll out of bed, shower and head out the door with a coffee in hand.
Make this style your own by playing around with the length on the back and sides – try a taper like Dino or perhaps a fade for a starker contrast – as well as how much texture you rock on top. We love Oliver Jackson-Cohen’s slightly tousled volume here, for example.
Actor Dino – who plays police officer Marty McGreggor in new Harlan Coben series Fool Me Once on Netflix – has previously put his hair in the hands of celebrity stylist Sven Bayerbach, who has also worked his magic on Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey and Ted Lasso’s Phil Dunster.
Regular trims are a winner for healthy hair and helping short chops to maintain their fresh shape. So, chat to your barber about how often you’ll need to stop by, based on how much you’re happy to let your look grow out.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Ask for a style like Dino Fetscher’s crew cut – aka, a short back and sides that subtly blend with the slightly longer hair on the top of your head.
- Take a photo reference and discuss what’ll work best for your hair texture and styling goals.
- You might want the short sides tapered like Dino’s, or to try a fade – a low one starts just above your ears; a high fade typically begins near the temples or forehead corner; and a mid fade starts around the middle of the head.
- Dino’s haircut allows him to create a side part and ace that classic side sweep. Let your barber know you’re keen on that sort of styling versatility, so they can chop with that in mind.
Get The Look
- Recreate Dino Fetscher’s side swept crew cut by using a comb to create a side part on towel-dried hair.
- Warm a pea-sized amount of styling product (a pomade can be great for Dino’s hold and shine) between your hands, then work it through your hair.
- Alternatively, if you’re after a more tousled look, work in a few spritzes of sea salt spray.
- Sweep your hair back of your face and to the side using your fingers and a comb if needed, until you’ve nailed the style you’re after.
- Finish by adding a little choppiness with your fingers if you want a more textured look.
