Liam Gallagher’s Hair: Mod Inspired Mop Top Hairstyle
MFH reckons that there’ll be as many requests for Liam Gallagher’s hair – in this iconic, textured, mop top style – as tickets sold for the Oasis reunion gigs.
Liam has rocked many versions of this same hairstyle over the years, but this medium-length, mod-inspired vibe is a flattering favourite.
Why We Love It:
Liam Gallagher’s hair has always been iconic – the man has the knack of carrying off everything from a buzz cut with heavy sideburns to long, straight and centre-parted, or a heavily textured mod look with longer pieces at the sides.
But it’s this medium length, softly textured, shaggy, mop-top-meets-mod style that is the most universally flattering, especially if you have an oval or square face shape.
And it’s a vibe Liam rates highly, too, if an interview he did with NME about his hair looks over the years is anything to go by. “Yeah, that’s peak. 10 out of 10. I look cool there mate. I’m loving it,” he said of a similar style he had in 2001 at the NME Awards.
His least favourite? A medium-length bowl cut from 2011. “Barber got that one wrong. That was meant to be a Ramones-type thing, but it was a bit too Dougal from The Magic Roundabout,” he scoffed.
Don’t look back in anger, Liam – you’ve gotta roll with it, right?
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Liam Gallagher’s hair is a seriously iconic look.
- To get that textured, shaggy vibe your barber will use scissors to cut it to the desired length.
- Liam’s hair is collar length at the back, slightly shorter at the sides, textured heavily at the crown with an eyebrow-length fringe.
- Your stylist will possibly go through the hair with a razor, cutting into the hair more and giving it more texture and movement.
- The razor may also be used to cut into the fringe to give it a slightly jagged, piecey look.
Get The Look
- For Liam Gallagher’s textured, shaggy, rock’n’roll hairstyle, start with slightly damp hair.
- Gently towel-dry the hair after washing it, leaving it a bit moist for easier styling.
- Spritz the hair lightly with texture spray, then ruffle it through the hair.
- This will add texture and hold without making the hair look too shiny or stiff.
- Blowdry your hair on medium heat using your fingers to lift the hair at the roots, especially at the crown, to add some volume.
- Liam’s style is all about that casual, slightly messy look, so avoid combing the hair flat.
- Use your hands to tousle and arrange the hair in a way that looks effortless.
- For the fringe, use your fingers to pull the hair forward, and tousle it dry. It’s all about a rough finish, not looking perfectly straight.
- Part it gently in the middle, and ruffle it a little with your fingers.
- If needed, you can add a bit more product to any areas that need extra definition or hold.
- Finish with a light mist of hairspray to ensure the style stays in place throughout the day without losing that relaxed, rock ‘n’ roll vibe.
