Teo Yoo: Smart Slicked Back Hairstyle With Texture
Past Lives actor Teo Yoo looks every inch the leading man with this chic medium-length hairstyle at the Golden Globes 2024.
Why We Love It:
Teo Yoo’s smart slicked back hairstyle is what red-carpet dreams are made of. It’s timeless and sophisticated, with just a hint of texture to soften up the look.
Pictured here at the Golden Globe Awards, the German-Korean actor – who stars in critically-acclaimed 2023 film Past Lives – often sports his 90s-style curtains with a centre part. So, this sweepier look with a side part really shows off the styling flexibility of such a well-executed haircut.
In short, this look gets a standing ovation from us. Bravo.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- For Teo Yoo’s hairstyle, ask for a medium-length scissor cut with shorter sides and plenty of length left on top for styling.
- Teo has a 90s-inspired curtains haircut, where the curtains fall just below his browline.
- He switches between centre and side parts, so let your barber know you’re keen on that versatility, too.
- They may use a point-cutting technique to add texture and movement, while helping to balance out any bulk/weight.
Get The Look
- Recreating Teo Yoo’s slicked back hairstyle? Work a golf-ball-sized amount of volumising mousse or some pre-styler (ideally one that offers heat protection) through towel-dried hair.
- Create your side part with a comb and then blow dry, using your hands and the dryer to build volume.
- When you’re done, warm a pea-sized-amount of styling product – like a medium- or high-hold pomade – in your hands and work it through your hair.
- Comb the sides of your hair back, then sweep the top back and over to the side – ruffle the ends slightly with your fingers to create a little texture.
- The beauty of Teo’s haircut is how many ways you can style it, so play around with different parts and levels of texture.
- Look after the skin on your scalp – especially if you use styling products that can build up – with the likes of a scalp exfoliant, mask or treatment.
