The Undercut Sweep Back
While there might be more than a little of our favourite pokemon, Pidgeot,
in this style from Biebs, we’re very much enjoying the soft and less severe
dye job. According to Hooker, this is down to the dark roots growing out and
softening the contrast between the platinum and his dark features.
“This would be a grade two or three on the sides but ask the barber not to
sharpen or shape the edges,” he says. “This androgynous, purposefully
messy look can be achieved using sea-salt spray applied to the root, first
blow drying it forward and then back to provide greater volume. Apply a po-
made or paste to the roots, leaving the ends softer and less defined. Tussle
and manipulate without too much fuss to achieve this just-out-of-bed look.”
