Henry Golding: Textured Short Hairstyle
The handsome Malaysian/British actor is known for always looking polished without a hair out of place (he usually favours side-parted quiffs). But Henry Golding’s textured, short hairstyle is a new look for him. And MFH is loving this more relaxed style.
Why We Love It:
The handsome actor usually looks suave enough to make James Bond feel inadequate, but 35 year old Henry’s new textured, short hairstyle is a softer, more youthful, casual look.
It’s no surprise his bonce always looks on point – the Crazy Rich Asians, Last Christmas and Persuasion actor actually started his career sweeping up hair at a barbershop in London at 14, before taking up an apprenticeship at 16 at swanky Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa in Chelsea, London (Kate Middleton used to be a regular there). He actually became a fully qualified stylist.
(Little known fact: he actually did his Mum’s hair before the premiere of Crazy Rich Asians in London).
And her works-for-everything product? She swears by pomade and uses it as everything from a hair product to beard balm, for taming eyebrows – she even uses it on moustaches if she can’t get her hands on moustache wax. One of MFH’s faves? Bulldog Original Styling Pomade.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Henry Golding’s textured, short hairstyle is all about the layering.
- Although his hair is slightly longer at the top, it’s quite heavily layered which allows him to add as much or as little texture as he wants.
- The sides and back are neatly tapered and blended in.
Get The Look
- To style Henry Golding’s textured, short hairstyle if your bonce isn’t as thick as his? Use a volumising product (like mousse, or root spray) on the roots of damp hair for more oomph.
- Then add a little texturising spray or product.
- Using a vent brush, blow-dry your forwards from the crown to the front.
- Then warm a small amount of clay or pomade between palms until soft and then ruffle it through hair to get Henry’s tousled look in the main picture.
- Use some of the product to push your hair up slightly at the front, too.
- In the smaller, second picture Henry’s hair is a little shorter – he would have ruffled a little pomade through it with his fingers, then pulled a few pieces down for the textured fringe look.
