Top 6 Unforgettable Shia LaBeouf’s Hairstyles
It is no secret that Shia LaBeouf has had an interesting career. From his earlier days as a child star to the wilder times of being an adult actor, he has never been afraid to push limits. And just like his hairstyles have shifted over time, so too has his acting style. This article will explore 6 of his most memorable styles from throughout the years – showcasing how they’ve changed over time.
#1 – Neat and Short Military Buzz Cut
Shia LaBeouf has a short military buzz cut. His hair is cut close to his head, with just a tiny bit of length on the top and sides. This haircut goes about one inch below his natural hairline all around. It does not require styling or much upkeep after being trimmed for men who want an easy and low-maintenance hairstyle for themselves. Perfect for those with fine to medium-textured hair in need of volume, this style can also suit anyone regardless if they are male or female, unless their facial structure poses limitations beyond normal rules.
To achieve this look, start by washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Next, use a comb or brush to detangle any knots in your hair; optionally using some mousse or gel if needed. Finally, cut the ends of your hair using scissors (or at least trim them).
When cutting your own hair, trim slowly but surely starting from the back of your head and moving towards the front. Always keep in mind that this new haircut will remain until it has fully grown out – once cut, it cannot come back! Blow-dry the newly trimmed hair straight with a blow-drier set to low heat. Do not worry about wrinkles or volume. Finish drying with an ample amount of hairspray or pomade then style with an unused comb for added definition.
#2 – Slicked Back with Short Curls
Shia LaBeouf’s signature locks are one of his most well-known characteristics. Known for their slick back and short curly style, these strands are often spotted throughout Shia’s many film roles and public appearances. Though this style may not seem unique to Shia at first glance, the small amount of curls he styles at the tips of his hair make all the difference when it comes time to dress up or down for an event. For days where he would like a little bit more volume in his tresses (without a lot of fuss), this young actor will simply apply some gel to the ends and then scrunch them up a little before calling it quits.
The first step is preparing your locks by having a nice warm shower and applying an appropriate deep conditioner to cleanse. Next, you blow-dry your hair until it’s completely dry but not too much so it doesn’t turn into frizz. Finally, you can use some styling gel or wax for texture and hold. With your rat-tail comb, section off the locks on different sections starting from the nape of your neck moving upwards near the crown of your head; trying to get more volume than before.
Apply clips when necessary to keep sections in place while done working with them one by one carefully as always with an iron rod (with multiple barrels) wrapped around each strand just below where its starts at the roots – not on top like people usually do – getting this diffused curl instead.
#3 – Curly Mohawk with Braided Rattail
Shia LaBeouf’s hairstyle for his role in the film Fury is a curly mohawk with a braided rattail. The mohawk has been shaved on the sides and back, with the top of the head left long enough to form the mohawk shape. The front of this hair is slicked back and parted on one side, while the other side hangs free. The rattail is also shaved on the sides and back, but it starts at about an inch above the nape of his neck and goes down to about mid-back length. This section of hair is braided into a rattail braid that covers two thirds of his shirtless body from shoulders up until just below his elbows.
Start by wetting your hair and then blow drying it completely straight. Part your hair down the middle, brush it back, and make sure there are no waves or curls; now you’ll need bobby pins – choose the color that matches your own hair best. Use them to divide each side of your head vertically into two sections about 2 inches wide.
You’ll want your hair in these sections to be about an inch long – longer than that will make your Mohawk look messy. Make sure you braid it as tight as possible without breaking the strand off completely, otherwise this style will end up looking sloppy instead of appealing. Once you’ve finished with all those little braids, use more bobby pins for good measure. And now we can finally work on making sure everything stays put throughout the day- no matter what gets thrown at us! Grab some hairspray already! You’re going to need a lot of it – and if it starts raining outside or something else gets thrown at us during our journey, we don’t want this hairstyle to start coming undone.
#4 – Thick Highlighted Short Curls
Shia Labeouf’s thick and brightly colored highlighted hair is an excellent choice for someone looking to break away from the normality of society. He is an actor, artist, director and producer; well known for his uncharacteristic hairdos that consist of novel colors or styles. His latest haircut included short style spikes bleached blonde. Though they were short, they were still voluminous due to the brightness of Labeouf’s lighter locks.
To start, wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and let it air dry completely. Use volume boosting mousse on your roots and blow dry them down in one direction. Backcomb or tease the crown of her head with a comb and hairspray for height. Carefully brush out any stray hairs with a wide-toothed comb before moving onto the next step – which is creating curls! Either using an iron or wand – create small ringlets close to each other around the top of her head before spraying them once more for hold.
#5 – Clean Side Parted Style
Shia LaBeouf Side Parted Style is a hairstyle that can be worn as either a side part or center part. The hair is parted and combed straight, with the hair at the top of the head being styled into a side part. With everything else, apart from the sides, slicked down and parting to one side – an overall pristine appearance will be achieved. To achieve this look, follow these steps: make sure you apply heat protection on your damp locks before blow drying them using a round brush; then once your hair is completely dry, use a straightener to style your bangs which will go over your forehead for now. Next up comes the high ponyhold – so grab an elastic band off to tie up all your strands after putting some product through it.
Next, part your hair down the middle and clip one side up. Brush through the other side from roots to ends so that it looks smooth and sleek. This will help keep flyaways at bay during styling! Now take the section you clipped up and wrap it around your head like a scarf or headband so that all of your hair is now secured away from your face (this will also keep stray hairs out of sight). The last step is to brush any other stray hairs down over your ears—this will give them more volume than if they were lying flat against them!
#6 – Short Side Swept Hairstyle
Shia LaBeouf’s short, side-swept hairstyle is one that will give you the best of both worlds. This chic and trendy style looks good on all genders, is easy to maintain and low maintenance, which leaves you with less work in general. With this particular type of hair design – there are three ways it can be styled; either to the left or right, which creates two different types of styles; one with a wavy design while the other has spirals and curls. The length of his locks goes up to about an inch long – so don’t worry about looking like a woman!
In order to achieve this look, begin by brushing your hair back off of your forehead and neck. This makes the hair smoother and shinier. Next, make a parting in the middle of your side which is just below where it starts getting bulky (to add extra volume). Take some product such as gel or pomade and spread it on the section of hair that you want styled backwards- near where you made the parting line. The last step is to brush through those parts gently with both hands – starting from where they are at now and pulling them towards one another until it creates more texture then when they were flat against each other- this will give them more life!
