Tom Holland is a master at arranging medium-length scissor-cut haircuts.
With so many short and long haircuts out there right now, it can sometimes be hard to find inspiration for men with medium-length hairstyles, but Tom Holland is the man for the job.
We'll show you how to create your own Tom Holland-style haircut.
Tom Holland's hairstyle varies in length. For example, Tom Holland's haircut in Infinity War is about 5-6 inches at the top, but he recently wore his hair a little shorter for the Spider-Man: Far From Home press tour.
Tom Holland always incorporates traditional scissor cuts into his hairstyles to suit him and his hair.
The back and sides are short and tapered, but never to the point of “exposing the scalp,” so you'll never see Tom Holland with severe fading on the back and sides.
The most important thing with this haircut is to grow your hair first. Many people want this hairstyle without length. Therefore, grow your hair a little longer than this hairstyle and then ask your barber to shape it.
You also need to make sure that this haircut is tailored to you and your hair. If you just try to recreate Tom's haircut, this won't work. It should be adjusted to suit your hair.
Since this is a personalized haircut, it is best to show a reference photo and then consult with your barber to find the variation that suits you best.
However, if you want an explanation of the cut, tell your barber that you want a full scissor cut to blend in with the sides (no undercuts here).
Leave the sides down to just “scalp exposed” or “finger lengths” and the hair tapered and curled around the ears, but left natural. A stiff line is not desirable, just a soft trim around the ears and neck.
If you have fine or curly hair, take advantage of your hair's natural texture.
If your hair is thick, ask your barber to add some texture throughout to make it easier to style.
Styling Tom Holland's haircut depends on your product preferences and hair type.
For thick hair –
You can buy any product you really like. For a matte, natural finish, use clays such as: Legal Gentleman Matt Clay
However, to add shine to your hair, use products that add a little shine, like Tom's, and try pastes and creams.
For thin/fine hair –
Use products that give your hair a natural matte finish. Legal Gentleman Matt Clay
You don't want anything that parts your hair too much or leaves it shiny. This will only make your hair look thinner. Therefore, try to use products with a matte finish that won't add too much weight or bulk to your hair (definitely avoid shiny pomades or gels).
