Leonardo DiCaprio's Hair

Leonardo DiCaprio, unbeknownst to many, made his start in television with appearances in daytime dramas like "Santa Barbara" and "Roseanne," as well as a recurring role on "Growing Pains." Soon after, he made a big splash with a critically acclaimed performance as Johnny Depp’s autistic younger brother, Arnie, in "What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?"

Shown here, Leonardo cuts a very debonair figure with his slicked-back style. The look is masculine, working well for most men with medium to coarse textured wavy hair. The cut is versatile and can be styled as shown for a clean-cut, suave look, or worn loosely disheveled for a freer style, creating a mop-top effect.

The Cut:

This is another modified "Ivy League" cut. It has the characteristics of short tapering on the back and sides, progressing to longer lengths at the top of the head as you approach the bangs area.

In this case, you want the fringe/top lengths to be significant (from 5-6 inches or longer). Cut the perimeter following the traditional men’s cut pattern. Taper up the sides and back at a sharp angle to allow for fullness in the top and crown areas.

The Style:

After shampooing and conditioning, spray the hair with leave-in conditioner and a styling product. Use your blow-dryer to dry the hair, directing the airflow slightly upward and toward the back of the head as you go. Use a round brush to direct the hair back, drying it to a mostly dry state.

At this point, use a small amount of smoothing serum on your fingers and palms and spread it evenly through the hair. Finish the style using a wide-tooth comb to create a clean look and let it finish drying naturally.
