Here’s How to Get Adam Driver’s Long, Perfectly Styled Flow

Adam Driver has been many different things: a marine, a hipster heartthrob, an evil Jedi, an Oscar nominee—but what's the one thing he always is? The definition of hair goals.

The actor has become known for his flowing, wavy mane as much as for his acting prowess and distinctive voice. And even though Adam Driver always had good hair, like the rest of us, his ‘do has gone through a few changes. Driver’s hair evolution, in many ways, can mirror all of ours of the last year. It started with a short, classic style and gradually evolved into something longer, shaggier, and much, much cooler. But while Driver’s change was surely on purpose, our long hair can mostly be attributed to closed barber shops, less frequent haircuts, and the fact that many of us rarely leave our houses anymore.

Instead of shearing off your long hair at the first opportunity, we say take a cue from Driver and keep it long. There’s no better time to try one of his signature long styles because you’re already halfway there.“Usually when you launch into a long haircut, it’s a process,” says New York-based hairstylist Martial Vivot. “There is always that phase where you have to be patient and grow,” and many times, the temptation to cut is too great. Now that many of us have forgone haircuts for a while, it’s easier to keep on growing. “By growing, you start to understand other ways to manage your hair and it makes it easier to embrace a longer hairstyle,” he says.

Ultimately, to get the Driver look, it’s not that complicated: you need to have long enough hair. Everything else comes with getting the right cut and using the right styling techniques. Here’s how to achieve any look from Adam Driver’s hair journey.
