Chris Hemsworth's haircut in “Extraction” turned out to be very popular. This has been the most requested hairstyle since the latest series of Peaky Blinders ended. So we realized we needed to find a way to provide this haircut tutorial during lockdown. Here's how to get Chris Hemsworth's Extraction Haircut…
What is Chris Hemsworth's Extraction Haircut?
Chris Hemsworth's haircut in Extraction is high and tight, leaving a lot of length in the fringe and tapering towards the top of his head.
How do I ask a barber to style Chris Hemsworth's hair?
As with any haircut, it's best to show your barber a photo of the haircut you want. This will help avoid confusion. This style is not easy to describe because it is not your typical “military high and tight” look.
For reference, Hemsworth's back and armpit length is between 1.5 and 2, and was taken high and tight. Her hair is bright so it may look shorter than it actually is. If you have dark hair, you may need to cut it a little shorter to get the same effect.
The two most important parts of this haircut are 1) separating the fringe a little to leave some length and gradually shortening the hair towards the top of the head, and 2) blending the back and sides tightly and adding length to the sides. Adding texture to the top. The video below uses #2, but you can actually make it as long as you like. This hairstyle is perfect for straight hair.
How to style Chris Hemsworth's extraction haircut?
To style, use a styling paste similar to Regal Gentleman Paste (coming soon). Hemsworth's hair in the movie looks like it was sprayed with nothing but water, but styling it with a low-hold styling product can give this haircut a great look.
