How To Get Jon Hamm (Don Draper’s) Haircut
Step 1 – After a shower, blow dry your air in the direction in which you want the hair to fall.
Step 2 – Apply a pomade, running some amount of the hair with your fingers.
Step 3 – Use a fine tooth comb to the back and down towards the nape of your neck.
Step 4 – Create a side part on the far side of the temple where the hair falls naturally.
Step 5 – Push the hair at the front slightly backward so that the hair gets an extra volume just over your forehead. Creating a Pompadour could add to the style.
If you want to copy the casual look of Don Draper, start by applying a putty on your damp hair. Allow the hair to dry and then with your fingers, create a side part. Apply extra putty where needed after tousling the hair a little bit.
How to Get the Side Part
- Get a taper fade at the back and the sides. The type of fade depends upon how deep you want the part.
- Ask your barber to shave a line on your head where you want the side part to be created.
- Use a fine tooth comb to drag the major part of your hair to one side, leaving a natural part to be created.
- Structure the parting using a hair dryer and a comb.
- Finish off by applying some product to add texture and hold on the hair.
