Justin Baldoni’s Hair: Medium Length Curly Hairstyle
He might star in one of the most talked-about films of the moment (It Ends with Us), but Justin Baldoni’s curly hair is what really grabbed MFH’s attention.
Why We Love It:
Justin Baldoni’s hair deserves serious recognition: his curls are shiny and frizz-free, have the right amount of tousle, yet still look polished enough for the red carpet at the New York premiere of It Ends With Us.
That well-cut, medium-length hairstyle is part of the reason his barnet is such a spotlight stealer.
But there are a few other ways he keeps his hair looking leading-man-luxuriant.
He ‘fessed up on TikTok a while back: “Don’t wash it every day. Don’t blow dry it. Let the oils do their thing. Rinse it when it’s dirty, wash it a couple of times a week, and put some leave-in conditioner or some coconut cream in there, and let it be beautiful.”
Listen to the man. It clearly works, right?
What To Ask Your Barber:
- This haircut is essentially a layered, medium-length cut with natural texture.
- The focus is on maintaining length on top and through the sides while using layering to enhance the natural waves and give the hair movement.
- Your barber will first assess the natural curl pattern and length.
- For Justin Baldoni’s style, the top would typically be left around 4-6 inches long, while the sides and back would be shorter.
- Your barber would use scissors rather than clippers to ensure the cut is soft and natural-looking. Scissor-over-comb techniques help keep the sides and back neat while blending into the longer top.
- Layers will be added throughout the hair to prevent it from looking bulky and to encourage the natural waves.
- Point-cutting techniques will be used to remove some weight and create a more relaxed, airy finish.
- The edges would be softly trimmed rather than sharply defined to maintain the casual, flowing style that’s key to this look.
Get The Look
- Use sulfate-free shampoos and moisturising conditioners designed for waves or curls. Look for ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and glycerin.
- And, as Justin advises, don’t wash your hair too much – a couple of times a week will suffice.
- Use a deep conditioning mask once a week. If your hair is particularly dry, use a leave-in conditioner after you wash it.
- Gently pat the hair dry – never rub it, or that will encourage breakage and frizz.
- Even better, invest in a microfibre hair wrap to soak up the excess moisture in your hair when it’s wet.
- Apply a curl cream to define and smooth your coils. Work it evenly through your hair with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
- Spritz your hair with heat protector.
- For a natural finish, use a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer.
- Set it to low or medium heat to minimise damage and frizz while preserving the natural curl pattern.
- Hold the diffuser up to your head, letting it dry section by section.
- Tilt your head to different angles and gently scrunch your hair with your hands while drying to encourage natural waves and volume.
- Once dry, apply a small amount of lightweight styling cream to hold the waves in place without making them stiff.
- For added shine, you can use a couple of drops of hair oil.
- Sleeping on a silk pillowcase reduces friction, which can lead to frizz and breakage, keeping your waves smooth.
