Hugh Dancy Hairstyle - Formal Short Wavy

Description

Hugh looked very spruced up at the premiere for "The Jane Austen Book Club" with the help of this great style. His hairstyle was kept cool and casual with his back and sides cut short and blended into the top. His top layers were also textured for height and style and to maintain his cool, calm and collective look. This style will be easy to achieve with gel wax or moulding cream.

Styling Steps

1 . Apply Gel-Wax

Place a small amount of gel-wax in the palm of your hands and then dispense it evenly throughout the hair. Applying a small amount of gel-wax will create hold and a semi-wet effect.

2 . Style Hair Down at the Back Using Gel-wax

Apply some gel-wax to your fingertips then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a semi-wet, textured result.

3 . Style Sides Down Using Gel-wax

Using a small amount of gel-wax, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward motion. For a more textured, grungy look, use more gel-wax while pinching the ends as you go.

4 . Spike Top Using Gel-wax

Apply gel-wax to your fingertips, then grab a small section of hair and rub the gel-wax into your hair before twisting and pulling your strands upwards. For longer lasting spikes we recommend using strong hold gel.

5 . Apply Hairspray

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
