Paul Mescal has become as well known for his hairstyles as for his acting. From his breakout role in Normal People to his red carpet appearances, the Irish actor’s grooming choices have helped define a new era of men’s style.
Whether he’s wearing a clean French crop or experimenting with a mini mullet, Mescal’s cuts continue to spark conversations—and copycats—across barbershops from Dublin to London.
One of his most iconic looks came with his portrayal of Connell Waldron. The character’s signature wavy French crop—a short, textured cut with a soft fringe and tapered sides—became instantly popular. The style’s relaxed yet sharp finish makes it easy to wear and flattering on many face shapes.
What sets Mescal apart is not just the cuts he chooses, but how he wears them. His hair always looks natural and lived-in, never overly styled. Whether brushed forward or left slightly tousled, there’s a casual charm that resonates with today’s more laid-back grooming culture.
Mescal also embraces natural texture in a way few male celebrities do. While many trends lean toward sleek fades and polished finishes, Mescal proves that waves, curls, and movement can be stylish and low-maintenance.
From TV screens to red carpets, his evolving styles—like his recent bold mini mullet—blend classic shapes with a modern edge. They show that a great haircut doesn’t need to be perfect, just personal.
Paul Mescal’s approach to hair is inspiring a shift in men’s grooming. It’s not about high effort or high gloss. It’s about individuality, texture, and a confident sense of ease.
