This style works best for men with certain types of hair. Here's what to keep in mind when trying this style at home or before going to a hairstylist.
Young men worldwide have been trying to copy Robert Pattinson’s hair style made famous by the character Edward Cullen in the popular movie Twilight. Unfortunately, it’s not a hairstyle easily achieved by everyone.
What Kind of Hair Type Works Best?
- Medium thickness works best, with a little texture to the hair to hold the style.
- Hair that is too fine or thin, like a baby’s hair, will not achieve the volume that Pattinson has.
- Hair that is too coarse, like African-American hair, will not achieve the smooth body and curl that is the trademark of this hairstyle.
- Naturally curly and wavy hair can still achieve this style, but it will take some extra work.
Right Length of Hair
- Think of how long Pattinson’s hair would be if it were wet or not styled. His bangs and top layer of hair falls naturally at eye level, with some pieces reaching slightly lower.
- The hair over his ears is longer than most think—his hair comes to the bottom of his ear, but is swept backward like the ‘70s style ‘feathering’ so that the top of the ear is not visible. For a more casual approach, finger-comb the sides of the hair so as not to look too perfect.
- Most photos of Edward Cullen don’t show the back of his hair, but it is cut slightly below the jaw bone. The rest of the back is layered as well, gradually getting longer closer to the top of the head.
The Colour of Pattinson’s Hair
- Keep in mind Pattinson has a team of stylists at his fingertips to keep his hair colour looking like this is his natural haircolour. It isn’t.
- Pattinson’s hair ranges from dark brown, to dark blonde, to copper, to blonde highlights. His stylists choose what colour looks best on him, and anyone copying this style should do the same.
- To show off layers and curls in this style, consider a few highlights that complement natural haircolour and skin tone. Black hair can be highlighted with dark brown or dark auburn, and blonde can try various shades of other blondes or lowlights such as light brown or caramel.
- Brunettes have the most selection and can incorporate a few highlights of dark blonde, caramel, auburn or copper. These shades come in dozens of variations.
- It’s not the colour that makes this style stand out, it’s the volume and the length.
The Secret to Getting Robert Pattinson’s Hairstyle
- The number one way to get Edward Cullen’s style is to have a proper haircut.
- This style requires texturizing, which means the hair is not all one length, nor is it all cut straight across. Go to a professional hairstylist and ask for this haircut, noting that hair will need to be thinned out to achieve it. Some hair will appear much shorter but the overall look will be that of longer hair like Pattinson’s.
- Texturized hair helps create and hold the volume needed to keep hair standing up off the head.
