Giles Surridge’s Hair: Wavy, Tousled Hairstyle
Giles Surridge’s hair with its tousled texture and soft waves is what MFH likes to call ‘artfully undone’. Think of it as a love letter to every bloke who’s ever run his hands through his hair and called it styling.
But it works…
Why We Love It:
Blue Moon actor Giles Surridge’s hair is proof that “effortless” doesn’t always mean “effort-free”. Luckily, most of the effort comes from making sure you get a great cut.
His soft waves have just the right mix of structure and freedom, thanks to skilful layering and a lot of natural texture.
The cut works because the mid-length layers keep the weight balanced so the waves fall naturally, not flat or puffing out at the sides, while a little shaping around the fringe means he can leave it messy and undone, or scrunch it when he dries it to bring out a tighter curl.
In fact, all this hairstyle needs, full stop, is a dash of curl cream, a quick scrunch with sea salt spray, a ruffle with your fingers as you blow dry it on low heat, and hey presto, say hi to the ‘artful tousle’.
As this is the kind of hairstyle that’s more about texture than precision, it’s perfect for wavy or slightly curly hair that wants to do its own thing.
And, bonus, not only does it grow out well, but as long as you look after your hair and ensure it’s nourished, it’ll play nicely with humidity and dampness, too.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Giles Surridges’ hair has mid-length layers with soft texturising at the ends to enhance the natural wave pattern.
- Ask your barber to keep the fringe slightly longer and add gentle texture – no harsh, blunt lines.
- Request some weight removal at the crown to keep volume controlled but still enabling movement.
- Emphasise a casual, unstructured finish.
Get The Look
- Start with damp hair and apply the Anforh Curl Enhancing Cream, followed by the Anforh Texture Volume Spray from root to tip.
- Use your fingers to scrunch and twist sections while blow-drying on low heat — or air-dry if you’ve got the patience.
- Using a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer – holding it really close to the hair as you dry it – will help give more shape to your waves.
- Once dry, rake a pea-sized dab of matte paste through the mid-lengths for separation and hold.
- Finish with a quick tousle at the roots.
- Try not to wash the hair too often – freshen it up with dry shampoo on non-wash days.
- Use this Anforh Conditioning Treatment at least once a week for frizz-free waves.
