The Best Guy Hair We'd Totally Wear
By Shannon Ray
In all your Gisele, Karlie, and Kendall hair worship, you may be overlooking a crucial part of the celebrity-hair-inspiration population: the male half. There are some men out there with truly magnificent hair—color, cuts, and texture that are as inspiring as the latest supermodel lob. We’ve rounded up the very best (or most memorable) from recent history.
THE NELSON TWINS
There were hair bands, and there were hair bands. Before Pam Anderson had the lock on ’90s platinum tresses, there were Gunnar and Matthew Nelson, here in 1989 with matching flowy, beachy manes.
KEANU REEVES
Reeves’s dark, wavy, shiny hair—here at a premiere in 1993—is more glistening and perfectly mussed than any Point Break wave.
LENNY KRAVITZ
Kravitz has always given us great hair in various styles, but his signature dreadlocks, here in 1993, might have been the very best.
JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT
His 1996 center-parted teen-dude bob is smooth, sleek, and full, with just the right bend at the ends.
TAYLOR HANSON
The middle Hanson brother (that’s him on the left in 2000, if your memory fails you) had the best sunny, shoulder-grazing, effortless ‘do.
DAVID BECKHAM
Beckham has worn many hot hairstyles, but the one we’re inspired by is this 2003 look: a loose center part and piecey waves.
RUSSELL BRAND
Love him or hate him, Brand is a boss at toeing the line between defined and tousled curls, as evidenced in this appearance at the 2008 GQMen of the Year party.
JARED LETO
Leto won our hearts for his look in 2014: here at the Oscars in long, beachy waves and ombré perfection.
