James Dean: Swept Back Hairstyle

4.0 4 Star

Hollywood legend, James Dean, had one of the most iconic hairstyles of the 1950s. This messy swept-back look has become a classic and is just as popular today as it was back then.

MFH says

James Dean is an icon. He was effortlessly cool and even when his hair was big and messy, it was perfect!
