Robert Pattinson’s Hair: Highlighted Hair With Spiky Fringe
Robert Pattinson, the man who once made vampires sparkle, has now given us hair envy with a highlighted spiky fringe that’s sharper than Edward Cullen’s cheekbones.
Debuting this faux-punk look at the premiere of his new film, Mickey 17, Robert Pattinson’s hair proves that even without fangs, the man can still make a bold statement.
Why We Love It:
Robert Pattinson’s hair has a whiff of faux-punk about it, with that spiky fringe adding a touch of, well, middle-class Sex Pistol, no?
MFH does like Robert Pattinson with a bit of edge.
While the jury might still be out re whether those relatively new blonde highlights work with his pale complexion, MFH is all for people trying out something new.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, he confessed to having a crisis of confidence when playing around with his hair colour, saying, “I initially dyed my hair really blond [for the film Tenet], and it looked a little crazy. I toned it down a bit.”
He even admitted to getting frosted tips before attending Coachella, only to hide them under a hat due to self-consciousness. This candidness about his hair adventures shows that even the most seasoned A-lister still has hair freak-outs like the rest of us.
But the haircut itself is extremely versatile. You can give it a punky edge like he has in the picture, wear it all tousled and wavy like he did the month before, try a smooth, slicked back look like Jack Huston, or even go for a Pedro Pascale-style tousled quiff.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- If you’re after Robert Pattinson’s hair look, request a medium-length cut on top with shorter, tapered sides to maintain balance.
- Ask for point-cutting techniques to create movement and texture throughout the top of the hair.
- Ensure the fringe is left slightly longer – Robert’s looks to be around 1.5 inches – and textured for flexibility in styling.
- Robert’s hair is a browny/red colour so it seems he’s had all-over colour lightening done to lighten his naturally dark brown hair.
- Then he’s had blonder highlights scattered throughout.
- Discuss incorporating subtle, sun-kissed highlights that complement your skin tone and natural hair colour for added depth.
- Be aware that highlights will damage your hair, so you need to take good care of it.
Get The Look
- On damp hair, apply a small amount of texturising mousse or sea salt spray to add volume and grip.
- Use a hair dryer to lift the hair at the fringe at the roots, directing it upwards.
- Tousle the rest of the hair on the top of the head as you go.
- Work a strong styling product like this American Crew Firm Hold Styling Gel through top of the hair.
- Take small sections of the fringe and create defined spikes with the product.
- Set the style with a strong hold hairspray to ensure it stays in place.
- To stop your blonde highlights from looking too brassy over time, use a purple or silver shampoo and conditioner once a week.
