How to Style Hair Like Al Pacino

Academy Award-winning actor, Al Pacino has become a silver screen icon through his portrayals of such legendary characters as Michael Corleone in "The Godfather," Tony Montana in "Scarface" and the role that earned him a Best Actor award, Frank Slade in "Scent of a Woman." In addition to his illustrious career, Al Pacino's second claim to fame is his lustrous hair and its timeless style.

Instructions

1. Keep the back and sides of your hair cut short. You should slightly layer your hair all over with th length longest on top.

2. Get slightly angled bangs. Al Pacino sweeps his bangs off to the side; a look best achieved by a hairstylist cutting the bangs at an angle.

3. Put mousse in your hair before you dry it. Whether your hair is thick like Pacino's or sparse, rub a styling product such as mousse in it and tip your head over to blow dry upside down. This will add extra volume at the top to achieve Pacino's look.

4. Slick your hair back or tousle it for a messy look. Pacino pulls off both looks well, whether he slicks his hair back with Gel-Wax or tousles it with his fingers.

5. Pull a few pieces down at the front to frame your face. When he wears his hair slightly mussed, Pacino pulls down a few stray pieces at the front, although they generally don't extend past his eyebrows.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't worry if you have a few stray grays. Some have speculated that Pacino has colored his hair for years, and it's only been in recent years that some of his natural grays have shone through.

• Feel free to experiment with the length, from a short crop to a slightly shaggy look. Pacino veers back and forth between these two styles.
