Colin Farrell's Hair

Colin Farrell has carved out a niche with his wild-eyed bad boy persona in Hollywood. The Irish-born actor has risen to A-list status through notable performances in films such as "Tigerland," "Minority Report" (alongside Tom Cruise), and "Alexander."

In these photos, Farrell showcases a collegiate or Ivy-League inspired haircut, characterized by shorter sides and back, with increasing length towards the forehead. This style suits individuals with dense, medium to coarse, straight hair types exceptionally well.

The Cut:

Achieve this haircut by starting with a standard men's cut around the perimeter, leaving the fringe area longer (at least brow length). Gradually decrease the length on the back and sides, using shorter layers ranging from 1 to 2 inches as you move upwards from the bottom edge of the perimeter.

Increase the lengths across the crown and towards the fringe area. You can use scissors initially and then texture the ends with a razor tool for a softer finish, or opt for a full razor cut.

The Style:

To style, apply leave-in conditioner and a liquid-wax styling mousse to damp hair. Use a blow dryer with fingers to lift and separate the hair, directing airflow upwards to maximize volume.

Dry the hair to a mostly-dry state, then use fingers to tousle and arrange the hair for a messy, bed-head look. Allow the hair to finish drying naturally. Finish with a mist of hairspray to set the style and maintain the sharp edges.
