Jason Momoa: Man Bun With Undercut
He’s probably more famous for his long, flowing, waves (FYI we don’t mean the ocean kind) – but Jason Momoa’s man bun with undercut is more about showing off his awesome new head tattoo than his luscious lengths. Of hair.
Why We Love It:
Jason Momoa’s man bun with undercut is a big moment for the man with the kind of hair that makes him look like Polynesian god. Or, y’know, Aquaman.
That’s because he shaved off the sides of that famous head of hair in September to get people’s attention about the amount of single use plastics discarded on beaches and in oceans all over the world.
And he also got an incredible head tattoo, which his newly undercut sides happen to show off.
Apparently the tat was done the traditional Polynesian way – which means the design was drawn freehand using handmade tools to tap the ink into the skin.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Jason Momoa’s man bun with undercut might not need a huge amount of maintenance, but regular trims are key.
- In an interview with menshealth.com, Jason’s hair and makeup artist, Jen Stanfield, says it stops the ends getting dry.
- She also said that if you’ve got curly hair like Jason and are trying to grow it, getting the weight taken out is crucial so it’ll grow out better.
- “When growing curly hair, there’s a stage where it grows out before it starts to grow down and hairdressers can take out weight without removing too much length,” she explained.
Get The Look
- Jason Momoa’s man bun with undercut is all about keeping your haircare simple.
- And your shampoos around a week apart.
- “We didn’t wash his hair more than once a week [while filming Aquaman] and we didn’t use shampoo,” his hair and makeup artist, Jen Stanfield, told menshealth.com.
- Why? Apparently it made his curly hair too fluffy – and curly hair is prone to dryness and frizz.
- So she used a conditioning wash once a week instead.
- Jen also used coconut oil to condition Jason’s curly hair.
- If that doesn’t sound like your thing, then use a leave in conditioner, especially on the ends.
- And for those surfer-esque, beachy waves? The answer is: sea salt spray. She recommends the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray.
- If you spritz it through the hair and leave it to dry naturally (she recommends air drying the hair as much as possible), it’ll make your waves look more lived in and tousled.
- If your hair gets a little greasy in between those once-a-week washes? Use a dry shampoo and spray it right into the roots before tousling it through the hair.
