The Celebrity Haircuts You Need to See This Week

Welcome to another edition of Grooming Gods; a weekly recap of the best celebrity haircuts, beards, and other grooming adventures, courtesy of our favorite stylish gentlemen across the globe. This week’s best looks were proof that there isn’t one right way to be an impeccably well groomed man. Whether your bald, bearded, or born with bright red hair, embracing what your parents gave you is always the best course of action.

In-demand model (and new father!) Lucky Blue Smith has traded in his white-blonde, short-cropped hair for something longer, darker, and a little dirtier. All we can say is, “exhausted new dad” looks pretty darn cool on a 19-year-old model with cheekbones that could cut glass.

If you’re wondering how to do a full beard without looking like you just took part in a Civil War reenactment, these three fine gentleman can teach you a thing or two. Notice how their beards are neatly trimmed but not overly carved, conditioned but not obsessively waxed, and paired with modern clothes that place them firmly in 2018.

As any guy with an extremely buzzed dome will tell you, the grooming pressure is on when you’ve got nothing to work with but your beard, skin, and eyebrows. Johnson rises to the challenge exceptionally well with downright luminous skin and nicely trimmed salt-and-pepper scruff. Who needs hair when your head looks that good?

Joe Kennedy was born to work in politics, look great in Ray-Ban sunglasses, and rock his red hair in all its wavy glory. If you’re a red-haired guy working in a similarly conservative industry, follow Kennedy’s lead. Keep your hair long enough to show the world what you’re working with, short enough to withstand a windy sailboat ride, and wear as much navy blue as you can get your hands on.

One of the great things about high fade haircuts is that they look polished even when you’re at your most active. The short length on the back and sides means hair is never in your face, or getting soaked from sweat, while the longer-on-top situation only looks better as you move and heat up. Russell Westbrook looking like a million bucks after running all over court for two hours is proof of that.
