Guy Code: Texture Looks to Crave

Follicle inspiration from our favorite Hollywood hunks.

 

MIGUEL: Musician and singer Miguel’s naturally curly hairstyle is effortless but requires the right products and proper care. “Curly hair at medium length that has layers and a solid shape will look great for any curl type,” says Mizani celebrity artist Cesar Ramirez. He recommends applying Mizani True Textures Moisture Stretch Curl Extending cream to damp hair to create naturallooking curls. Work the product through hair with your fingers, then dry with a diffuser. Once the hair is dry, loosen the curls and smooth down sides using a small amount of Mizani’s Velvet Gloss Shine Finishing Pomade.

JARED LETO: Jared Leto’s luscious waves are as famed as his acting talent. To recreate this look, apply Biolage Hydrasource Detangling Solution to wet hair, says Matrix celebrity hairstylist and colorist George Papanikolas. Allow the hair to air dry under a hood dryer, or gently scrunch the hair as you dry it on low air, high heat. Using a 2-inch flatiron, bend the hair back and forth gently to create the loose beach waves. Finish by applying Biolage Pliable Paste to the ends to create the piecey texture.

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: With years of hairstyles as varied as his roles, Matthew McConaughey has shown his curly hair’s potential to morph into many styles. For this wellgroomed, slicked-back look, Robb Dubre, senior artistic director with Kenra recommends applying Kenra Platinum Texturizing Mist 6 to damp hair. Next, layer with Kenra Platinum Texturizing Taffy 13 for increased definition. Allow to air dry and use fingers throughout hair to create separation and added texture.

ADRIEN GRENIER: HBO Entourage’s, blue-eyed, blackhaired bad boy, Adrien Grenier has got styling his texture down pat. To keep curls under control, and to not look overdone, Macadamia Professional celebrity hairstylist Giannandrea suggests using curl-defi ning products from start to fi nish. “Try Macadamia Professional’s Activating Curl Cream. This lightweight, nonsticky formula activates and supports soft waves,” he says. “Men with textured hair must maintain their cut, or those curls will get out of hand! Make sure your clients schedule an appointment every four to six weeks max to keep their style fresh."
