Kit Connor’s Hair: Short, Heavily Textured Haircut
Kit Connor’s hair is living proof that you can have babyface charm and serious sophistication. This cool, choppy style shows that the 20-year-old Heartstopper actor is all grown up.
Why We Love It:
Usually fond of a long, foppish fringe, Kit Connor’s hair even inspired an entire TikTok topic: how to make your hair like Kit Connor.ย
So seeing him with this heavily textured short haircut made MFH do a double take. Not because it’s bad – quite the opposite. It makes him look older and more sophisticated.
It’s also a great example of a style thatโs low-maintenance yet high-impact. That choppy texture adds dimension, making his thick, straight hair appear full of movement without requiring much effort.
This cut is particularly flattering on Kit because the height and texture elongate his round face shape, while the short sides add contrast, giving him more definition along the jawline.
Plus, this look won’t require hours of faffing in front of the mirror. A spritz of sea salt or texture spray, a touch of matte paste and you’re done.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Kit Connor’s hair is seriously thick, so if you’ve got a fulsome barnet too, having a textured style like this will get rid of a lot of the heaviness of the hair.
- Using clippers, the barber will trim the sides and back, to around a #2 or #3 guard.
- This gives the clean, sharp look that contrasts with the texture on top. The barber might fade the sides slightly to give a more gradual blend, but for Kit’s style, itโs not a heavy fadeโjust a short, clean cut.
- The top is where the magic happens. Although there’s more length than the sides, your barber will chop into the hair in a point-cutting technique to create those uneven, textured layers.
- This adds movement and stops the cut from looking too uniform.
- Your barber might then go through the hair with thinning or texturising sheers – or even a razor – go supercharge that texture.
- This step is key for making the hair feel light and giving it that tousled, textured look that Kit rocks.
- The top will then be blended into the shorter sides to avoid any harsh lines via clipper-over-comb or scissor-over-comb technique.
Get The Look
- Kit Connor’s hair looks effortless. And it pretty much is.
- On damp hair, spritz some sea salt spray to give your hair some grit and texture, helping to enhance the natural movement.
- Work it through the hair using your fingers, making sure itโs evenly distributed
- If youโve got time, a quick blow-dry will add extra lift to the roots.
- Use your fingers to scrunch the hair while blow-drying, aiming for a messy, voluminous look. For maximum volume, blow-dry the hair upwards or against the direction of growth.
- You can skip this step if you’re after a more natural, laid-back look.
- Once the hair is dry, apply a tiny bit of matte-finish styling product like a texturising paste, clay, or cream.
- Start with a small, pea-sized amount, warming it up by rubbing it between your palms.
- Run your fingers through your hair, focusing on the top and front sections. Scrunch and tousle the hair as you go to define the texture.
- Use your fingers to twist small sections of hair, especially at the front, to create that separated, textured effect.
- If you want extra height, gently lift the hair at the roots with your fingers, or use a little hairspray to lock the volume in place. Run your fingers through the sides to keep them sleek and neat.
- But remember, the beauty of Kit Connorโs hairstyle is its relaxed, undone feel. Donโt overdo it with the product or styling โ a little messiness is what makes it look cool and easygoing.
