Norman Reedus’ Hair: Long Wavy Hairstyle
Norman Reedus’ hair, a blend of hippy-meets-surfer with a hint of rock’n’roll, is the perfect style for his rugged, lived-in looks.
Why We Love It:
As Daryl Dixon in The Walking Dead, Norman Reedus’ hair became, well, iconic. Although it was darker, a bit shorter, and shaggier, it still had that lived-in look we associate with Norman.
In an interview with Wired, he explained how to get his The Walking Dead hairstyle: “Oh, that’s easy – you just don’t cut it,” he said. “But yeah, I do have friends that have salons and things like that, and they’ve given this haircut to people. People have come in and said ‘hey, can we get Daryl Dixon haircuts?’ And so it’s a thing.”
It’s no surprise that for his role in The Bikeriders as Funny Sonny, he wanted to look a little different. Although he’s still rocking a long hairstyle in the film, it’s thicker and messier, he’s added a shaggy beard and (fake) rotted teeth.
Although IRL Norman Reedus’ hair is a little lighter, softer, and cleaner, it still has that rough-n-ready appeal that has won over a gazillion fans. And the good news is that this low-maintenance look is easy to recreate.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Norman Reedus’ hair looks to be one length all over.
- If you’re keen on getting his hair length be prepared to be patient.
- Let’s say your hair is around 1 inch long it will grow an additional half inch a month, making it about 1.5 inches long after 4 weeks.
- After around 18 months, your hair will be about 10 inches long, which is almost the length of Normans.
- To keep your hair healthy as it grows, get regular trims every few months to get rid of damage and split ends.
- Don’t forget that genetics can affect your hair growth, making it faster or slower than average.
- Your diet will also have a big impact, too, so keep it balanced and stay hydrated.
Get The Look
- Norman Reedus’ hair is a very wash-and-go style.
- To maintain your hair health, try not to wash your hair more than a few times a week if possible.
- Use dry shampoo in between washes if you want to freshen it up.
- Use high-quality products and sulfate free shampoo, ideally.
- And always use conditioner after washing the hair.
- Apply a deep conditioner once a week, ideally letting it sit in the hair overnight.
- Invest in a silk pillowcase to keep from damaging your hair when sleeping. It’ll also help prevent frizz.
