Flow Hair: 8 Male Celebrities Who Are Loving the Style

See the latest hairstyle loved by our favourite A-list stars...  

Flow hair was originally a popular hairstyle among hockey players, surfers, and skateboarders, and is basically medium to long-length hair that has been pushed back for a wind-swept look. If you’re a style-conscious male looking to up your mane game, you may have come across the ‘flow hair’ trend already. And while you might not fully understand what this look is, a whole host of A-list stars have already started to work the style for themselves.

Want to try this ‘do, but unsure where to start? Well, we’ve rounded up the best flow hair styles from some familiar celebrity faces to help you nail the look!

Keanu Reeves

We’re used to seeing the actor with flow hair in his leading role in John Wick, so it’s safe to say he knows the hairstyle well.

Keanu’s mane has been cut with some shorter layers in the front, allowing it to frame his face, while the rest of his hair is loosely worn back.

Kit Harington

Game of Thrones star Kit Harington would be unrecognisable without his trademark long, curly hairdo.

Proving that those with curly strands can still work the flow hair trend, Kit has swept the front of his mane over to one side, while the remaining hair is tucked behind his ears and left au naturel.

Editor’s tip: Want to create disheveled looks, yet need to tame your locks, too? Then you need the VO5 Fluff Tamer, which will help calm rebellious strands and provide a lasting hold!

Bradley Cooper

Flow hair is the ideal undone look for those seeking a messy, low maintenance hairstyle. Bradley Cooper is often spotted with the relaxed hairstyle at major events, complementing his well-groomed beard and giving his overall look a more polished finish!

Having previously rocked the man bun and the man braid like a pro, Shia LaBeouf has now taken the flow hair trend in his stride. We at All Things Hair HQ love this transformation and can’t wait to see what the actor, performance artist and filmmaker will do next with his curly mane!

Jeff Bridges

There’s no denying that Jeff Bridges loves his rocker hair. Taking a look back on the singer, author and actor’s style file, you can see the 67-year-old is almost never spotted without his mid-length mane.

Well, you know what they say: if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.

Dev Patel

Dev Patel’s hair has been a focus point since his role in the hit movie Lion. Wearing his natural, mid-length curls swept back, Dev has become the poster boy for the flow hair trend – and we can certainly see why!

The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 star is stealing the limelight from his fellow co-stars with this hairstyle. Showing off his lengthy mane, Kurt Russell look effortlessly cool and oh-so suave with his flow hair. Sorry, Chris Pratt who?

Milo Ventimiglia

If you have fine hair, do like Milo Ventimiglia and part your mane down one side and sweep all of your strands back. This will help give the look of more voluminous hair on top, as well as keep flyaways out of your face. And what’s more, this high-shine look is really smart and is suitable for most occasions – bonus!
