Why We Love It:

Shawn Mendes’ wavy, textured, tapered hairstyle has give him a whole new vibe.

The superstar singer shaved his medium-length curls off into a buzz cut earlier this year. He told the Wall Street Journal: “I think everyone should know what they look like with a shaved head. I also was just feeling this urge to just shake myself up a little bit.”

And it has already grown enough in just a few months that he can enjoy playing around with the texture of this new, short look.

For the Oscars he wore it in a smoother, brushed-back quiff style. But day to day, he’s clearly enjoying giving it a bit of tousle.

He has also previously told British radio DJ, Greg James, a couple of his product must-haves.
The first is Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream – a leave in product infused with argan oil that helps stop curly/wavy hair like Shawn’s frizzing.

He follows up with the Moroccanoil Treatment which is packed with shine-boosting vitamins.

  • Shawn’s hair has grown out from a buzz cut, but his hairstylist has skillfully tapered it at the sides and back, whilst cutting in some texture at the top.
