Ramy Youssef: Short Curly Hairstyle
Ramy Youssef – the Egyptian-American actor, writer, and comedian – lets his curls do the talking with this short hairstyle.
Why We Love It:
He won a Best Actor Golden Globe in 2020 for the show Ramy – which he wrote and starred in – and MFH would also like to award him Best In Curls for this haircut.
It gives his curls a starring role on top, while being short and tapered around the sides and back which means it’s much easier to style and look after.
Of course, curls take a lot of TLC to keep them looking as healthy and frizz-free as Ramy’s hair, so make sure you read the ‘How To’ section to find out more. Then check out the product sections to click to buy MFH recommendations instantly.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- First of all, make sure you go to a barber/hairdresser who works a lot with curly hair.
- A good place to do your research is on their social media channels.
- Ramy Youssef’s short hair has been cut beautifully with length on top to showcase his fine 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
- Ramy’s hair is fine with lovely, ringlet-style curls.
- Try not to wash it more than 2-3 times a week.
- When you towel dry your hair, don’t rub it as that 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.
