The Mod Mop
A throwback textured mod-cut, this hairstyle is the anti-thesis to Bieber’s
platinum fade haircut – an updated take on a generations-old style. “Ask
your barber for an all over scissor cut,” says Hooker. “If your hair is flat and
straight like Biebs then you will need to ask for plenty of texture, feathering
the fringe and sideburns to soften the look. Ask for the hair to be tapered on
the sides and around the ears to clean up the look.
“Roughly blow dry the hair, working from the back to the front in circular mo-
tions to allow the hair to settle and sit naturally. Rub a pea-sized amount of
matte clay between your hands until tacky, applying vigorously throughout
the hair.”
