Joe Alwyn’s Hair: Short Tousled Textured Style
The Brit actor and Taylor Swift’s ex is always super low-key with his look. But Joe Alwyn’s hair here at a photo call for his new flick, The Brutalist, is his best effort yet: that artfully tousled texture is a winner.
Why We Love It:
Joe Alwynโs short, tousled, textured haircut perfectly complements his fine hair and subtly wavy texture, making it an ideal match for his understated vibe.
For blokes with similar hair typesโfine with a touch of waveโthis cut works with your natural texture rather than against it, making it easier to achieve that perfectly undone look.
This style also flatters oval, heart, or diamond face shapes thanks to its soft layers and balanced proportions.
The slightly tousled finish adds volume and movement, which can help elongate rounder faces or soften angular features.
But be aware that there will be a bit of styling effort and a few products involved to get the look. But, if you share Joeโs fine hair with a hint of waviness, you’ll be able to nail it in less than 10 minutes.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Ask for medium-length layers on top, cut with scissors for a textured finish. The goal is to create natural movement rather than flat, blunt sections. Mention you want a soft, tousled effect that feels casual but intentional.
- Request a subtle taper or fade on the sides and back, keeping the hair short but not disconnected. The transition should be seamless to avoid harsh contrasts.
- For finer hair like Joeโs, your barber might use point-cutting techniques to add extra dimension without removing too much weight.
- Let your stylist know you want a haircut that works well with minimal product and some natural textureโperfect for air-drying or light styling.
Get The Look
- Wash with a volumising shampoo and a lightweight conditioner to avoid weighing your hair down. Pat dry with a towel to remove excess water.
- Work a small amount of volumising mousse or sea salt spray into damp hair, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths for lift and grit.
- Use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer to encourage natural waves and scrunch your hair gently as you dry.
- If you donโt have a diffuser, flip your head upside down and scrunch it while drying to boost volume.
- Once your hair is dry, take a small amount of styling product such as matte styling clay or paste, rub it between your palms, and run your fingers through your hair.
- Twist sections of hair lightly to define the texture and create that tousled, undone look.
- ย Use your hands to gently mess it up and set it in place.
