Morgan Spector: Curly Hairstyle With Tapered Sides And Full Beard

Morgan Spector has hit the follicle jackpot: his curly hairstyle is lustrous and thick, and then there’s that beard. Glossy, full, and fabulously maintained, it’s no surprise the internet has lost its collective mind over it.

All Hairstyles

Why We Love It:

Actor Morgan Spector has been blessed with a thick head of curly hair, which he keeps looking stylish with length on top and tapered sides and back.

But he has also been gifted with fabulous facial topiary.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Morgan credits Nicki Lederman, the head of the make-up department on The Gilded Age (where he plays George Russell) for helping him craft a beard he loves. “Usually when I look at myself on camera, I’m like, ‘This is horrible,’ but I like the beard, too,” he told the online publication. “But I can’t take that much credit for it. I didn’t sculpt it.”

If you want bristles as bountiful as Morgan’s, expect to put in the work. Nicki confessed to the publication that she “carefully sculpted, groomed, and maintained it” for a few months before filming.

What To Ask Your Barber:

  • Do your research and ensure you go to a barber/hairdresser who works with curly hair.
  • A good place to start? Their social media accounts
  • Morgan Spector’s haircut has length on top to showcase his covetable, thick curls, but it has been tapered more tightly at the sides and back.
  • This means it’s easier to style because most of the weight has been cut out of the hair, so it won’t ‘mushroom’ out when you’re styling it.

Get The Look

  • Try not to wash it more than 2-3 times a week.
  • When you towel dry your hair, don’t rub it as this will cause frizz and breakage.
  • Instead, pat it gently. Then wrap it in an old cotton T-shirt, or invest in a microfibre hair towel which will soak up the moisture quickly and gently.
  • Coat your hair evenly from roots to tips with texture cream. (Use a small amount then build it up if you need more).
  • Then add in a curl cream to encourage your curls to form a nice shape.
  • Finally, apply a light, leave-in conditioner to ensure your hair is hydrated and nourished.
  • Use a hairdryer on low speed/medium heat.
  • Using the diffuser attachment (which spreads out the airflow to help the curls stay structured), gently move it around with your fingers and scrunch the hair as you dry it all over to bring out the curl.
  • To enhance shine and reduce frizz, you can use a small amount of hair oil, or a frizz-reducing product after your hair is dry.
  • Simply put a couple of drops on your fingers, rub together, then ruffle through the hair.
  • Deep condition your hair once a week – ideally overnight.
  • And always use heat-protecting products whenever you use heated tools like a hairdryer.
