Jacob Elordi’s Hair: Modern Textured Mullet
Jacob Elordi’s hair is having its own cinematic moment here. Fresh from his transformation into Frankenstein (prosthetics, shaved brows and all), Jacob’s returned to the real world serving this fresh, modern mullet look.
Why We Love It:
Jacob Elordi’s hair makes a real statement: aka that mullets are still a vibe. The revival has been going strong for a while, but Jacob’s take feels effortlessly cool rather than costume-y or ironic.
The dyed black tone adds drama and depth, while the textured layers give movement and volume.
And that short textured fringe frames his face perfectly and adds an undone, DIY-esque punk edge that feels very now.
This style is great because it’s surprisingly flattering for most face shapes thanks to the length at the back, while that choppy, textured fringe softens the forehead (you could also opt for a longer version of the fringe if you’d prefer a little more coverage).
And while his Frankenstein transformation involved wigs and prosthetics, Jacob joked on The Tonight Show that his dog Layla whimpered and was scared when she saw him in full ‘creature’ mode – proof that even monsters need good hair days.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- For Jacob Elordi’s hair vibe, ask your barber to keep the back long enough to graze the collar in a classic mullet silhouette.
- The top layers should be medium length for volume and texture.
- Ask for a short, choppy fringe that sits just above the eyebrows.
- Or if you’re a bit nervous about going too short, ask the barber what would be the best length for your face shape.
- Request point cutting or a razor-cut finish for that lived-in, tousled look – your barber will decide what works best for your hair type.
- The sides of the hair are slightly tapered – this isn’t a harsh, skin fade mullet; it’s softer and more natural.
- Jacob has had a jet black or deep espresso dye applied for that dramatic, gothic edge.
- This colour is quite severe – Jacob only just about gets away with it – so talk to your hair stylist about what tone and shade would work best for your complexion.
Get The Look
- Wash hair no more than 2-3 times a week, ideally – this Anforh Texture Shampoo is good prep for a cut like Jacob’s.
- Always use a lightweight conditioner to keep hair soft but not weighed down.
- Apply a texture spray (this Anforh one is loved by MFH readers) or a sea salt spray to damp hair and scrunch for natural waves.
- Spritz on a heat protectant and then use a hairdryer on low heat while finger-styling to create lift at the roots.
- If your hair is fine and looks a little limp – especially as your haircut starts to grow out – a texturising powder will be your new best friend. Shake a tiny amount onto your hands and rub it through the roots of your hair into the top layers.
- You can then use a tiny bit of matte clay or wax to shape your hair a little more and add definition to the fringe.
- If you need some extra staying power for a night out, a light-hold hairspray will lock in the shape without making your hair feel too stiff and sticky.
- Dry shampoo will be your other product best friend for refreshing texture between washes.
