Lando Norris’ Hair: Curly Tapered Hairstyle
If his F1 driving skills don’t make you do a double take, Lando Norris’ hair certainly might. Between the podium finishes and the Twitch streams, the McLaren star is quietly winning the race for follicular finery. This, curly-topped, tapered, beautifully cut style is helmet-friendly and classy. Champion, in fact.
Why We Love It:
There’s something refreshing about F1 driver Lando Norris’ hair —and not in an ‘I use six styling products and have a hairstylist who travels with me’ kind of way.
Lando’s haircut is all about embracing what you’ve got and making it work with your natural curly hair texture, not against it. The light taper on the back and sides keeps everything looking crisp and tidy—ideal when your day job involves squeezing into a helmet—while the top brings in his soft, natural volume.
And. let’s be honest: it’s a classic cut that’s not chasing trends or crying out for approval—it just suits him, full stop. It complements his image too: a bit cheeky, a bit charming, and not afraid to lean into his own style rather than some generic F1 heart-throb blueprint.
MFH loves that you get the sense he didn’t spend ages in front of the mirror—just a good cut, a decent curl cream, and off he goes.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- If you’re keen to get a look like Lando Norris’ hair, ask for a tapered cut that keeps the length and volume on top to showcase your natural curls.
- Your stylist will use scissors on the top to maintain the curl pattern, and clippers on the sides and back for a gradual taper.
- Ask for the neckline to be kept clean but not too sharp, to maintain a natural look.
- Be prepared to get regular trims – at least every 4 weeks – to maintain the shape and ensure your curls don’t start to look lacklustre and grow into a ‘mushroom’ shape at the sides.
Get The Look
- Curly hair needs a lot of TLC to keep it shiny and frizz-free.
- Make sure you only wash it a couple of times a week if you can, using nourishing products specially formulated for curly hair.
- On damp hair, apply a curl-enhancing cream or leave-in conditioner to define your curls and reduce frizz.
- For added hold and definition, apply a light mousse, scrunching it into the curls.
- Use a diffuser attachment on a hairdryer to gently dry the curls without disrupting their pattern.
- Hold the diffuser close to your head while scrunching the curls as you dry the hair.
- Once a week, use a deep conditioning treatment – ideally overnight – to maintain healthy, shiny curls.
- Avoid touching your hair much throughout the day to maintain curl integrity and reduce frizz.
- You can use a light hair oil spray on dry hair to add a little shine boost.
