The 7 Must-See Grooming Moments of the Week
The best grooming game—i.e. a good haircut, some tended-to scruff, and hydrated skin—can make a huge difference in how a man looks. And if you ignore all three, well, you won't look like a DGAF rebel as much as an intensely hungover, decade-older version of yourself. In order to motivate you to visit the barber regularly or just change up your routine once in a while, we're bringing you a recap of the best grooming moves of the week.
Shameik Moore's Middle-Part Braids

While we've seen braids before, we've never quite seen them styled like this, with slightly dorky 90s vibes. But since everything else from that decade is making a comeback, why not this junior high hairdo. You just have to have Moore's swagger to pull it off.
Jonah Hill's Slicked Back Style

Normally, this sort of look would look taken straight out of a mob movie, but somehow Hill, who has been killing it on the style front these days, made the bushy beard and the wet, pulled back hair actually has more of a cool, modern look as opposed to an '80s banker, thanks to his pairing it with a cool guy off-duty fit.
Jaden Smith Loses His Signature 'Do
As we told you earlier this week, all good things — including Jaden Smith's "do you dreads" — must come to an end. Jaden's dad Will took a pair of shears to his son's signature locks, all done for a role in an upcoming movie, and Jaden embraced the enduringly cool summer haircut, the buzzcut.
James Cromwell's Wildman Beard

While it's generally frowned upon to have a "I just lived off the land for the past decade" beard while walking the red carpet of some fancy Hollywood premiere, when you're a veteran actor and 77-year-old icon like James Cromwell, we happily forgive. In fact, there's a bit of DGAF swagger here that only comes with having spent almost eight decades on this planet. Rock on, James.
Armie Hammer's Leading Man Blowout

Damn, Armie Hammer is killing it here. Not only is his outfit an enviable example of perfect spring layering and excellent fit, but his hair is that hard-to-achieve blend of looking styled but also natural (we suspect a blowdryer was involved) and the beard looks trim and tidy but still badass.
Justin Theroux's Rocker Red Carpet Vibes

Theroux is no stranger to rocker style, and he carries the look out from toe to head, including his punk spikes and artfully unkempt beard. It's the type of look that you can only pull off you're as comfortable on the back of a motorcycle as you are wearing leather pants — both of which Theroux pulls off with ease.
