Hot Rodent Boyfriends are taking over the internet with their smooth talking, tousled hair, and chiseled bone structure.
Think of Jeremy Allen White, Matty Healy, and Barry Keoghan as a few good examples.
STYLE INSPO
Several hairstyles fall within a classic hot rodent boyfriend cut.
For example, they can be seen sporting hairstyles like Sabrina Carpenter’s music video co-star Barry Keoghan’s classic short, textured cut.
Zumbo said his particular fade “typically features a clean, tapered look on the sides and back, with the hair on top left slightly longer and styled in a natural, textured manner.”
“The look complements his features and allows for versatility, suitable for both casual and formal settings,” he said.
If you want to give your boyfriend a hot rodent hair makeover, American Crew ambassador and barber Andrew Zumbo has all the tricks and the right product to make it come together.
STEP-BY-STEP
Zumbo explained how to achieve Barry Keoghan’s classic short, textured haircut using American Crew products.
STYLE TIPS
Before styling make sure the hair is damp to begin with.
He suggested towel drying the hair until it’s slightly damp before applying the product.
“This will make it easier to distribute the product evenly and achieve the desired style,” he explained.
Next, he said to “emulsify” the product, which means rubbing a small amount of American Crew Fiber between your palms, so it evenly distributes throughout the hair.
Then, work the product evenly through the hair, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths.
“For a textured look like Barry Keoghan’s, use your fingers to tousle and style the hair as you apply the product,” the hair expert recommended.
In the fourth and final step, style the hair as you see fit using your fingers or a comb.
“For Barry Keoghan’s textured look, you can tousle the hair with your fingers to create separation and definition,” Zumbo suggested.
STYLE SELECT
The American Crew Fiber is similar to a hair gel but holds better.
For $15 on Amazon, this product provides high hold with low shine.
“It’s perfect for creating texture and definition in short hairstyles like Barry Keoghan’s,” he said.
“It’s great for adding thickness and fullness to the hair while keeping it pliable for restyling throughout the day.”
Follow these expert tips and you may have a sexy rat-filled summer with your guy by your side.
