Nicholas Alexander Chavez made a style statement in New York yesterday, showcasing the ideal “rich kid” haircut. While his role in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is rooted in a dark ’80s tale, Chavez brought a fresh and modern vibe with his medium-length, semi-slicked-back hairstyle.
This look is often seen in places like the south of France during summer. It balances a relaxed, carefree attitude with subtle hints of wealth—like saying, “my dad is a billionaire” without words. The style works best with straight or slightly wavy hair and suits different hair types.
To get this look, start with clean, freshly shampooed hair. Avoid washing too often, as over-shampooing removes natural oils that keep hair moisturized. If your hair isn’t freshly washed, use conditioner to smooth and detangle.
After towel-drying, apply a small amount of holding product like pomade or gel. Avoid making the hair too shiny—movement is key. Use a comb to push your hair back, letting it fall naturally. Finish with a light spray of hairspray to keep it in place.
Chavez’s loose slicked-back style is a relaxed 2024 take on his character’s pushed-back curtains haircut in Monsters. This “rich kid flick” is a polished and professional alternative to trendier looks like the baby mullet sported by Paul Mescal and Harris Dickinson.While not everyone has a trust fund, starting with Nicholas Alexander Chavez’s rich kid hair might just be the next best thing.
