Tyriq Withers’ Hair: Wet Look Tapered Crop

Tyriq Withers’ hair – a wet-look tapered cut – is as cool as a slasher flick’s final scene: smooth, sharp, and always one step ahead. Very apt for a man who stars in a remake of cult 90s horror flick I Know What You Did Last Summer, in cinemas now.

Why We Love It:

Tyriq Withers’ hair shows us how a wet-look taper doesn’t have to be high drama to make an impact.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer actor has naturally wavy texture which gives just the right amount of movement, preventing the slick-back from looking too flat or severe.

If you have a square face shape like Tyriq’s, adding a bit of height and volume at the top can help soften and lengthen the face shape. It’s all about balance: sharp jawline, softened crown.

Although Tyriq hasn’t shared grooming secrets in interviews yet, it’s safe to assume he’s working with a lightweight, high-shine pomade.

The real trick is keeping those wavy locks under control without losing their natural texture (like how he’s letting those curls peep through in the fringe area). That’s where a great haircut and clever product choices play a big role.

What To Ask Your Barber:

  • Tyriq Withers’ hair has a low taper fade, which follows the natural hairline.
  • It’s subtly blended down at the nape and around the ears.
  • Keep around 2 inches of length on top, enough to slick back while keeping visible movement.
  • The top should be scissor-cut to maintain the slightly wavy texture while removing excess bulk.
  • Request soft layering through the crown, especially if you want to style it with a little height to balance a square face shape.

Get The Look

  • Wash and condition using moisture-boosting products which helps keep waves frizz- free.
  • Also apply a light styling cream or leave-in conditioner while damp to keep waves soft.
  • If you decide to blowdry your hair, make sure you use heat protectant spray beforehand.
  • Comb a small amount of water-based, high-shine pomade or gel through the top and sides.
  • Blow-dry on low heat, combing gently backwards to shape and build height at the top.
  • Remember this is not a severe slick-down so you can also lift the roots a little with your fingers after combing it back.
  • Pull a few curly strands down onto the forehead, as Tyriq has done.
  • If you want to boost the sheen, finish with a gloss spray or light oil mist for a clean, selfie-ready shine.
