Laurie Davidson’s Hair: Swept Back Curly Hairstyle

Why We Love It:

The Girlfriend actor Laurie Davidson’s hair is one of those cuts that proves curly styles can be sharp without ever looking overdone.

The swept-back shape gives structure, but it still plays into the natural movement of his curls so it looks relaxed.

It’s a great vibe that works especially well for guys who want to embrace their natural texture but slightly tame those ringlets.

If you think curls aren’t versatile – let MFH prove you wrong. Left to air dry, this hairstyle settles into a soft, effortless look that makes the most of your natural texture.

But by simply adding a little product and a diffuser, it transforms into something far sleeker that’s perfect for a night out. Because the sides are softly tapered rather than tightly clipped, the overall look grows out gracefully, meaning fewer trips to the barber runs and more mileage between cuts.

What MFH loves most is that instead of fighting against his natural curl pattern, Laurie leans into it, proving that well-kept curls can look as refined as any slicked-back fade on a straight-haired bloke.

Proof, yet again, that the best styles often come from working with what you’ve got, not against it.

What To Ask Your Barber:

• Ask for a medium-length cut on top, keeping at least 3–4 inches so the curls can form and sweep back
• Request layering through the top to remove bulk but preserve curl definition.
• Ask your barber to cut dry (or partially dry) if possible, so they can see how your curls fall before cutting.
• The sides should be scissor-cut, not clipped down too short. Think soft taper rather than harsh fade.
• Mention you want to keep the curls natural but styled back, like Laurie Davidson’s hair, and get them to talk you through different ways you can style your hair.
