Tom Holland: Swept Back Hair With Quiff
Spiderman actor, Tom Holland, has caught MFH in his web with this slick, swept-back style with a quiff.
Why We Love It:
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.”
What To Ask Your Barber:
- 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.
Get The Look
- 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.
