Kit Connor Hairstyle: Heavily Textured Tapered Haircut
Gone are the soft, curtain-fringed schoolboy vibes of his early Heartstopper days. Now this Kit Connor hairstyle has undergone a bit of a ‘leading man’ style evolution, with a heavily textured cut that’s tousled to perfection.
A grown-up glow-up for the 21-year-old actor in time for his starring role in Warfare.
Why We Love It:
We love this Kit Connor hairstyle.ย Heartstopper-now-Warfare actor Kit Connor’s hairstyle has been undergoing a bit of a metamorphasis recently, and it’s great to see him finally experimenting a bit.
This textured, tousled look is a step in a more playful direction, and a big departure from the 90s curtain hairstyle he had through his Heartstopper days.
This cut keeps length through the top, with loads of texture to play with, with a very subtle, tidy taper around the back and sides.
It looks as though Kit might have had a bit of a colour glow-over too, going from more of a gingery red to this richer, deeper auburn.
No longer the sweet sixth-former with the matching, safe haircut, our Kit’s style is definitely growing up…
What To Ask Your Barber:
- If you’re keen on Kit Connor’s hair, ask for a medium-length scissor cut on top with lots of texturising, especially if your hair is thick – this helps break up the bulk and brings out natural movement.
- Request a soft, taper around the back and sides, to keep things neat but not severe – think subtle, not skin-fade sharp.
- It looks like Kit has deepened his colour from a more gingery red to a deeper auburn.
- Kit may have just had a semi-permanent toner or dye put in which will wash out over a few weeks.
- If that’s something you’re keen on, talk to your hairstylist about the right tone for your hair type and skin colour.
Get The Look
- If you opt for a toner or semi-permanent hair dye, be aware it will wash out more quickly if you shampoo too regularly and use harsh products.
- It’s best to use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner and try to wash your hair just two times a week if possible.
- Work in a light mousse and/or texture spray on damp hair to boost texture without weighing it down.
- Using a hairdryer on medium heat, tousle and scrunch the hair as you dry it.
- Once dry, rake through a touch of matte paste or styling clay โ just enough to define and separate pieces for that artfully undone look.
- If you feel you need a little more ‘grit’ to boost the tousled texture, you could apply a little texture powder and then ruffle it through your hair.
- Donโt overthink it โ this style thrives on a bit of movement and mess.
- If you want Kit’s glossy hair look, finish with a light shine spray to bring out the tones.
