Ryan Reynolds’ haircut has become as iconic as Jennifer Aniston’s hair in the mid-1990s. It is famous enough that many men now ask their hairstylists for the “Ryan Reynolds haircut.”
Christian Parla, a master stylist and cofounder of That’s It Salon in Miami Shores, Florida, calls it a modern classic. He says the style is polished, masculine, and effortlessly cool.
The haircut’s popularity comes from its short but slightly messy look. It gives off an “I woke up like this” vibe while actually being carefully styled. Parla explains that “The Ryan Reynolds haircut” looks natural but takes about an hour and several products to create.
Many men feel shy to ask directly for “The Ryan” haircut. Instead, they describe it vaguely and often end up with a style that doesn’t match what they want.
To help men avoid this mistake, Parla shares clear advice on how to ask for the haircut, how to style it, and how to maintain it. Once you master the grooming routine, the look doesn’t take much effort to keep—promising a stylish yet easy-to-manage hairstyle.
