Brad Pitt Hair Style

Well, the “Rachel” cut is so 1990s and so is Jennifer Aniston for that matter.  Brad Pitt fans, and of course the guys jealous enough to try and look like Brad Pitt, are wondering how to recreate that sexy modern day man hairstyle that makes Brad Pitt a worldwide sex symbol.  Of course, it’s fairly easy to create the Brad Pitt look.  You need to start wearing neutral solids, higher quality suits and shades.  Last but not least, you have to work off that tummy and get those Angelina-approved abs.  Beyond that, you’re mostly looking at a Brad Pitt hair cut, the type of look that separates the real Brads from the “pitts.”

So let’s talk about Brad and his unique hairstyle.  First you have to determine which Brad look is appropriate for you.  After all, his hairstyle rotates from sexy shaggy to chipped ends, long-style and semi-spike.  The sexy shaggy do (shaggy shaggy do, where are you?) involves a barber or hairstylist trimming the ends all over the sliced cut.  This gives the hair a soft and almost wispy look to it.  The benefits of this hairstyle are that it’s easy to manage, and easy to maintain with just a little bit of wax.  The chipped ends style is more of a basic cut and involves tapering the sides up towards the top of the head and slightly chipping the ends.  The benefits of this haircut are that they hide thinning hair very well.

Long is the wavy Brad Pitt hair style that you sometimes see in movies like Troy…er, never saw that one?  You didn’t get it confused with Alexander, did you?  Anyway, long hairstyles can be created by cutting below the shoulder level and cutting some of the layers for body and in order to give the illusion of volume.  The benefit here is that this hairstyle is easy to trim.  Lastly, there’s the semi-spike haircut.  This does not mean a total “punk” spike, but a semi-spike, as in merely altering the texture and definition so that it looks like a partial hair spike.  This haircut is easy to maintain and works with most types of hairstyles.  You can also experiment with blonde highlights for added depth.

Remember Brad Pitt has great hair style people working for him.  You won’t be able to duplicate it entirely, but you can create something very close to the original style.
