The Week in Excellent Celebrity Haircuts

Ashton Sanders goes blonde, Willem Dafoe ages incredibly gracefully, and more of the week's best celebrity haircuts for men.

Welcome to another edition of Grooming Gods, a weekly recap of the best men's grooming highs (and sometimes lows) courtesy of our favorite stylish gentlemen across the globe. This week's notable celebrity haircuts had lots of texture and didn't play it safe. Make that your mantra the next time you visit the barber and good things will happen. Or at the very least, you'll walk out looking cooler.

Jamie Dornan Reinvents Romance Hair

Jamie Dornan, star of the Fifty Shades trilogy, is working with a haircut fit for a sexually innovative billionaire. Dornan's hair is swept back but still has movement; that's crucial for bedroom vibes. Allover scruff and and visible chest hair speaks for itself.

Ashton Sanders Has Blonde Ambition

If you're under 30 and cooler than 99% of the population, the first thing you do is dye your hair white-blonde. Sanders gets extra grooming points here for making it past the orange phase of the dyeing process, and maintaining a really clean transition from blonde to black as his fade gets shorter.

Ryan Coogler Is Grooming—and Career—Goals

Writer and director Ryan Coogler is having a gigantic and well-deserved moment in the spotlight with the release of Black Panther. His grooming game is also on point. His fade has perfect definition without veering into severe territory, and nothing says "writer/director" like a killer beard.

Willem Dafoe Is the Future We All Want

Willem Dafoe! Those crow's feet! That tooth gap! The guy is the epitome of aging well. Dafoe still has all of his hair, and it's pretty darn thick, so showing it off with some length on top makes sense. The fact that the cut is so well groomed—we're guessing with the use of a blow-dryer and some pomade—helps balance out his rugged beard.

Ian Isiah Is Bringing Back the Man Perm

Musician Ian Isiah's...what do we call it? How about "permed mullet with baby bangs?" Anyway, dude debuted it at the Telfar show during New York Fashion Week, and gets our "You Do You" vote for the week in celebrity haircuts. Guy is not messing around. But that's not to say Isiah doesn't know what he's doing here. He's just doing it harder than the rest of us.
