Tommy Dewey’s Hair: Spiky Textured Haircut
Tommy Dewey’s hair IRL is quite the contrast to his (literally) monstrous appearance in Your Monster (the fun new horror-com in UK cinemas now).
This spiky, textured cut is very boyish and playful yet polished enough for an event. The perfect combo.
Why We Love It:
Tommy Dewey’s hair is the barnet equivalent of a cheeky chappy—boyish and knowingly playful.
It’s also a pretty good example of ‘controlled chaos’ with that artfully styled, spiky texture that’s just the right side of tousled.
The real magic of this cut is its versatility. You can style the hair to the side with a severe side part and slick it down with some gel for a retro vibe.
You can style the fringe into a quiff.
Or even slick the hair back with product if you haven’t got time to style it properly after a workout.
And, for the times you’ve pressed the snooze button way too often, brush your hair, then simply add a little dry shampoo to the roots for texture ruffling it through your barnet with your fingers.
Then tousle the hair a little and et voila – it’s genuine bedhead, just without the flat bits from your pillow.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- If you’re after Tommy Dewey’s hair, ask for a clean, tapered fade or short sides that blend naturally into a longer top.
- Request around 2-3 inches of length on top for versatility—long enough to give it that spiky, tousled effect.
- Tell your barber to add lots of texture through point-cutting or razoring—this is key for that artfully messy vibe.
- Ask for a soft, natural transition between the top and the sides for a modern look.
Get The Look
- Start with towel-dried hair.
- Spritz sea salt spray or texture spray throughout your hair.
- Warm up a tiny amount of matte pomade between your hands and run that through the hair, too, concentrating on roots.
- Use your fingers to pull the hair upward and forward in spikes—don’t worry about perfection; this cut thrives on looking a little messy.
- For more height and staying power, hit the spikes with a blow dryer on low while shaping with your fingers.
- Finish with a light spritz of flexible hairspray to lock in the look—because who wants floppy spikes?
