Serge Pizzorno’s Hair: Textured Spiky Cut With Blunt Fringe
If you’re after a hairstyle with attitude, Serge Pizzorno’s hair is the look to go for. The Kasabian singer’s spiky barnet deserved its own encore at Glastonbury.
Why We Love It:
Known for being an early adopter of the 70s shag/mullet look many years ago, Serge Pizzorno’s hair in this textured, spiky cut with blunt fringe is still a standout style. But it’s a little more attainable.
The Kasabian singer has form with statement hair – when he released a solo album in 2019, he debuted a French crop with leopard print spots (check it out in this interview in The Sun).
While not everyone can carry it off, Serge has long been a fan of a short, thick, straight fringe – and why not? It suits his offbeat style and makes him instantly recognisable.
Whether he’s shredding a guitar solo or grabbing a coffee, his hair is always going to get him noticed. And that’s what you want when you’re a rock star, right?
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Using a comb and scissors, your stylist will start cutting the sides and back.
- Serge Pizzorno’s hair isn’t super short on the sides, so you’re aiming for a medium length—think about 2-3 inches.
- Your hairdresser will use point-cutting or razor-cutting techniques to create that jagged, textured look Serge has.
- Discuss the length you’d like your fringe before your hairdresser chops into it!
- Serge’s fringe is quite short, sitting around an inch above his eyebrows.
- Once the fringe has been cut bluntly across, your hairdresser will subtly cut a little texture into it, to soften the edges a little.
- Next, they may use thinning shears or a razor to go through the hair again, to remove any bulk and add to the texture if necessary.
Get The Look
- Spray a generous amount of texturising spray or apply a golf ball-sized amount of mousse to damp hair for volume and grit.
- Use your fingers to distribute the product evenly from roots to ends.
- If you want extra volume as per Serge Pizzorno’s hair, blow-dry your hair while lifting it at the roots with your fingers.
- Brush the fringe down with a vent brush as you aim the hairdryer down towards it.
- Take a small amount of matte paste or texturising cream (about the size of a pea) and rub it between your palms to warm it up.
- Work the product through your hair, focusing on the top section where you want the spikes.
- Use your fingers to lift and separate sections, creating that messy, spiky look.
- You can also pinch small sections of hair and twist or separate them to create a more textured, lived-in look.
- Use a little of the leftover product on your hand to smooth the fringe down.
- For extra definition and texture, use a small amount of styling wax or clay.
- If you need extra hold, lightly mist your hair with a flexible hold hairspray. This helps keep the spikes in place without making your hair stiff.
- And you’re ready to rock…
