The data shows that Google searches for “Jacob Elordi haircut” have surged 2,838% in the past year, with around 2,000 searches made in the past month. Searches for “Jacob Elordi hair” have risen 349% year on year, reaching 6,000 searches in the past month, while searches for “Jacob Elordi” overall are up 280%, with 1.2 million searches recorded last month.
This interest reflects a shift away from ultra-sharp fades and heavily styled quiffs, towards longer, softer hair with natural movement for men. Now, hair and beauty expert Danielle Louise explains how men can get the look, not just in the barber shop but at home too.
Speaking on the Fresha app, Louise noted, “The appeal of Jacob Elordi’s hair is that it looks relaxed and lived-in rather than perfectly styled. There is movement around the face, softness through the top and enough length for the hair to fall naturally without looking untidy.
“It is a good example of a style that looks effortless, but the cut is doing a lot of the work. Men often think they can just grow their hair out, but if everything grows at the same length, it can quickly look heavy at the sides and flat on top.”
For men heading to their barbers to get this cut, Louise says, “You want to keep length through the fringe and crown so the hair can sweep back or fall into a loose side part. The sides should be scissor-cut and left slightly longer around the ears and temples, rather than taken too tight.
“Ask your barber to remove internal weight and add subtle layers. This gives the hair movement and stops it sitting like one solid block. Someone with thick hair may need more bulk removed, while finer hair needs more careful layering to avoid it looking thin.”
And when it comes to styling your hair like Elordi’s, the expert recommends to “start with towel-dried hair and use a small amount of sea-salt spray or lightweight styling cream. Push the hair away from the face with your hands as you dry it, rather than brushing it into a very neat shape.
“If you use a hairdryer, dry the roots in the direction you want the hair to sit. Finish with a tiny amount of matte paste or cream through the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid heavy waxes or gels, especially at the roots, because that is what makes longer hair look greasy or collapse.”
Louise added that growing hair out does not mean skipping barber appointments, so “tidy up every six to eight weeks to keep the shape intentional.”
