Hat Hair No More
If you're a man with hair, you know the struggle of winter hat head. Every day is an internal debate over needing something to keep your head warm mid-commute and sacrificing some of your grooming greatness. Because let's be honest, nothing except a pair of dorky earmuffs (which, for the record, we do not endorse) does the trick without ruining your follicular steez. But there is one easy, effortless way to fix hat head once it starts: Opt for a no-maintenance buzz cut.
Up-and-comer Lucas Hedges, star of the buzz-worthy film Manchester by the Sea, debuted his freshly trimmed head in a deep blue Burberry tuxedo yesterday in New York City. It's a big change from his perfectly messed-up ginger locks, but one we're digging.
It helps that Hedges has the ideal hairline—straight across, no widow's peak—to pull off such a short buzz cut. And though it may seem counterintuitive, this all-one-length super-short ’do is your best weapon against chronic hat head come winter. See, the hair just isn't long enough to hold a crease or a weird cowlick. And because it dries so fast, there's no chance of hurriedly leaving the house with damp locks—the number one hat wearer's no-no. Plus, buzz cuts look pretty badass when juxtaposed with formalwear—something Hedges will be wearing a lot of in the fast-approaching awards season. All he's gotta do now is beware the awkward grown-out buzz. We think he'll do fine.
