Oscar Piastri’s Hair: Short Wavy Hair With Soft Quiff
Oscar Piastri might be McLarenโs golden boy on the F1 track, but off it, heโs quietly clinched the title for Best Helmet Hair in the paddock.
Why We Love It:
Oscar Piastri’s hair is the perfect option for all you wavy-haired gents who want to look sharp without spending ages in the garage (read: bathroom).
The swept-back, barely there quiff softens his features, while his natural waves give the hair movement and body.
If you lead an active lifestyleโ cycling, gym sessions, or just, y’know, navigating the urban jungleโthis cut is a winner. It requires minimal styling, so you can keep your life on track without fretting over your hair.
Simply spritz in some lightweight styling cream or mousse onto damp hair, ruffle it a little, sweep the fringe back with your fingers, and race off!
As Oscar Piastri himself hinted in a TikTok video, his hair routine is low-maintenance (aka non-existent!), making it ideal for anyone who’s always on the move.
“Unless it’s a real mess, I leave it how I wake up”, he said. Music to the ears those of you with a snooze button addiction…
What To Ask Your Barber:
- If you’re keen on Oscar Piastri’s hair, ask for a tidy low taper or scissor-cut fade at the sides and back that blends cleanly into the longer top.
- This keeps the look soft and wearableโnothing too harsh.
- Let your barber know you want enough length on top (about 1.5 inches) to allow for movement and a bit of styling play.
- You’re not after a rigid pompadourโjust the ability to create a soft, swept-back, barely-there quiff in the fringe area that holds its shape with minimal fuss.
- If youโve got a natural wave or loose curls, great! Ask for internal textureโthis means some subtle point-cutting or razor work to stop it looking heavy or bulky.
- Tell your barber that the goal is a cut that grows out well and looks even better after a few days.
Get The Look
- Oscar Piastri’s hair is clearly in a sweaty helmet most days.
- So while MFH doesn’t usually suggest washing the hair more than a couple of times a week, if you spend your life in a sweaty helmet (cyclists, are you reading this?) it’s a good idea to wash it more regularly.
- Apply a small amount of lightweight styling cream or mousse to damp hair to enhance your natural waves.
- Use your fingers or a comb to sweep the fringe back and shape the quiff, directing the hair slightly back and to the side.
- For added texture and hold, spritz a light sea salt spray and let your hair air dry, or use a diffuser on a low setting if you have a bit more time and want to look more polished for work or a night out.
- This hairstyle is also long enough on top to go for a fully slicked-back look for a night out.
- Just add some wet-look pomade, brush it back, and you’re good to go.
