Okay, so I’ve been seeing this hairstyle everywhere, and I finally figured out who it’s most popular on – Lamine Yamal. So, I got curious about what the style is actually called so I could, you know, maybe try it out myself or at least understand the hype.
Digging Around for the Hairstyle Name
My first move? I jumped on Google, of course. I typed in stuff like “Lamine Yamal hair,” “Yamal haircut,” stuff like that. I scrolled through a bunch of images, and they all seemed consistent – it’s definitely a distinctive look.
I noticed it’s short on the sides and back, and a bit longer and textured on top. It has a curly look.
Getting Specific
I refined my search, adding terms like “taper fade” and “curly top” to my searches. I found that the style is very popular.
I also checked out some YouTube videos. A lot of barbers were showing how to achieve similar styles, so that was super helpful. I watched a few tutorials, paying attention to the techniques they used.
My Conclusion
Based on my “research” (aka, a fun deep dive on the internet), it seems like Lamine Yamal’s hairstyle is best described as a “curly hair taper fade”. Sometimes there is a design cut into the tapered portion and it is referred to as a “curly hair taper fade with a design”.
I feel pretty confident that if I went to a barber and asked for a “curly hair taper fade”, they’d know exactly what I mean. I do see other variations of the style but this is the best way to describe it.
