007 himself, there aren't many people who inspire me more style than Daniel Craig. And while another style icon in Idris Elba has been tipped to replace him, Craig remains one of our favorite Bonds, and it would be great to see him go. That must be sad.
As James Bond, and in real life, he rarely strays from one classic hairstyle, only varying it up by changing the length from time to time. So what is Daniel Craig's haircut and how can you style it?
What is Daniel Craig's haircut?
Daniel Craig's haircut goes by a few different names, but essentially it's a short back and sides with a cropped textured top. This can also be described as an Ivy League haircut, similar to the cuts we often see on Ryan Gosling. Daniel Craig has always had textured haircuts, which are especially great for men with fine or thinning hair.
How to ask a barber to give you a Daniel Craig haircut
Daniel Craig almost always wears the same style, sometimes it's longer or sometimes it's shorter. To get a Daniel Craig haircut, have your barber cut the sides down to about #3 or #4. I want it to be short, but not so low that I can see my scalp. You can also create a more unique cut by cutting the back and sides with scissors or using clippers over a comb (no guard). The top side should be long enough to be worn with a natural side parting, as Craig sometimes does.
Drop the top down to about 1-2 inches, leaving a little length in the fringe area. Then, for the most important part of Daniel Craig's look, have him add texture throughout his haircut using techniques like point cuts. This is what gives the more tousled choppy look seen in Daniel Craig's hair.
