If you're a fan of the "John Wick" series and want to replicate Keanu Reeves' slick, textured hairstyle, you've come to the right place. This comprehensive hair tutorial will guide you through the process, from preparing your hair to styling it like the Baba Yaga himself. So, grab your clippers and let's dive in.
Understanding John Wick's Hairstyle
Before we start, let's understand the essence of John Wick's hairstyle. It's a textured, slightly messy, medium-length cut with a hard part. The key is to keep it looking natural, not overly styled. It's a hairstyle that says, "I'm a man of few words, but I mean business."
Preparation
Before you start, ensure your hair is clean and damp. This will make it easier to style. You'll also need the following tools and products:
- Clippers with a guard size #2 or #3
- Trimmers for the hard part
- Hair scissors
- Hair dryer
- Hair styling cream or pomade
Sectioning Your Hair
Start by sectioning your hair. Comb it straight back and clip the top half up, leaving the bottom half loose. This will make it easier to work with.
Creating the Base Cut
Using your clippers with a guard size #2 or #3, start from the bottom of your hair and work your way up, blending the length as you go. The goal is to create a uniform base cut. Be careful around the ears and neckline, and consider using a trimmer for a cleaner look.
Creating the Hard Part
The hard part is the defining feature of John Wick's hairstyle. Using your trimmers, create a straight, sharp line from the top of your forehead to the back of your head. This will take some practice, so don't be discouraged if it's not perfect on your first try.
Styling
Now that your base cut is done, it's time to style. Unclip the top half of your hair and comb it straight back. Apply a small amount of styling cream or pomade to your fingers and work it through your hair, focusing on the roots for texture.
Using a hair dryer on low heat, blow-dry your hair straight back, using your fingers to shape it as you go. Once it's mostly dry, switch to a brush and finish drying, using the brush to create some lift at the roots.
Finally, use your fingers to tousle your hair, breaking up any stiffness and creating a natural, textured look. And there you have it - the John Wick hair tutorial. Remember, the key to this style is to keep it looking natural, so don't be afraid to run your fingers through it throughout the day.
