Spiderman actor, Tom Holland, has caught MFH in his web with this slick, swept-back style with a quiff.

MFH says

Tom Holland’s swept-back style with a quiff is proof that you can get a slick look if you have curly/wavy hair without losing too much length.

Sure it’ll involve a lot of product and dedicating quality time to styling it, but if you want a different look for a night out, it’s worth it, right?

Clearly the actor was up for more of a slick-looking change after sporting long, scraggly hair for his role in Apple TV+ thriller, The Crowded Room.

Talking to RadioTimes.com he admitted girlfriend Zendaya wasn’t keen on it. “Obviously I had that crazy hairstyle. I had the bangs. Bless Zendaya, she had a lot to put up with, with me looking like that for 10 months, it was rough.”

If you have naturally curly/wavy hair like Tom Holland, start with a chat about what you want to achieve with your hair.
The hairdresser will also assess your hair and curl type and texture.
This is crucial for determining the best approach and ensuring your expectations are met.
Tom hasn’t lost too much length from his medium-length curls, but his stylist will have kept the top section a little longer to allow for the curl factor.
Tom’s hairstylist will have also layered/point cut the hair throughout to remove bulk and enable the hair to sit well.

To style your hair like Tom Holland’s swept-back look, you’ll need to invest in products with a medium-strong hold.
On damp hair, run some curl cream throughout.
Then apply a very small amount of a styling product like matt clay to the fringe area of your hair.
Using a hairdryer on medium heat, lift the fringe up and roll it into a quiff shape using a rounded vent brush.
Apply a little of the matt clay to the sides of your hair and use the vent brush to sweep the hair back gently.
Use a tiny bit more clay to shape the quiff and smooth the sides of the hair to get the look you want.
Finish off with some hairspray if you want to ensure the style stays in place.
