Why We Love It:

Zaynโ€™s medium messy textured hairstyle is the epitome of relaxed sophistication. It balances structure and spontaneity, making it ideal for men who want a stylish yet low-maintenance look. The layered texture adds depth, while the controlled messiness gives off a modern, rockstar vibe. Itโ€™s a great option for those with straight to wavy hair who want a cut that can be both polished and relaxed depending on styling.

What To Ask Your Barber:

  • Request a medium-length cut with choppy layers to enhance texture and movement.
  • Ask for the hair on top to be kept around 3-4 inches, with slightly shorter layers to create volume.
  • Sides should be scissor-cut rather than clipped to maintain a natural, blended look.
  • Emphasize a textured, slightly messy finish, avoiding anything too structured or sharp.
  • If you prefer a bit more contrast, request a soft taper around the ears and neckline.

Get The Look

  • Start with towel-dried, damp hair after washing.
  • Apply a sea salt spray or volumizing mousse to enhance texture.
  • Use a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment to dry while scrunching with your fingers for a natural, tousled effect.
  • Warm a small amount of matte clay or texturizing paste between your palms and run it through your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.
  • Use your hands (or a wide-tooth comb) to shape the hair into a messy, effortless look.
  • Optional: Set with a light-hold hairspray to maintain volume and movement throughout the day.
