Raff Law’s Hair: Slicked Back Curly Hairstyle
After a fresh new look for your curls? Over to Masters of the Air actor Raff Law’s hair for some swept-back inspiration.
Why We Love It:
Pairing glorious curls with this cool pushed-back style? Consider Raff Law’s hair a surefire winner, whether you’re out with friends, on a date or, y’know, at a Hollywood film premiere on a Monday night.
As the charismatic actor (who joins the A-list likes of Austin Butler, Callum Turner and Barry Keoghan in new World War II drama series Masters of the Air) likely knows, looking after your curls is the key to acing this look.
Their shape can make it trickier for moisturising natural oils to travel down the hair – hello, dryness – so try to prioritise nourishing products designed for your hair type.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- To recreate Raff Law’s hair, look for a barber who specialises in curly haircuts, so they can advise on the best approach for your curl pattern.
- Raff’s haircut falls to around the nape of his neck, with more length left on top for styling.
- For this scissor cut, your barber may build in layers to create shape, add movement and balance out any bulk/weight.
Get The Look
- The secret to styling a look like Raff Law’s hair is keeping your curls in healthy shape, so prioritise nourishing, targeted products.
- Start by working in a small amount of curl cream (around the size of a penny) or a similar leave-in treatment after rinsing out your shampoo and conditioner.
- Sidenote: rubbing curl cream between your palms can help to distribute it evenly. A little goes a long way, too.
- Gently towel dry your hair – a micro fibre one can help to reduce frizz.
- Next, you might work in a small amount of pre-styler product, like a heat-protecting mousse. Squeeze and twist your curls gently as you go.
- If you’re blow drying, go for a low-to-medium heat setting and try a diffuser attachment. The latter helps to control the air flow, so curls hold onto their structure.
- To finish, warm a pea-sized amount of styling product – a pomade is great for hold and shine – in your hands, then run it through your hair.
- Use your fingers to sweep your curls back off your face and behind your ears, then shape into the slicked-back, slightly tousled style you’re after.
