For his role in the movie 300, as King Leonidas, Gerard had the back and sides of his hair cut short while leaving the top a bit longer so that it can be shaped into Caesar cut style. To style the hair, he simply worked a bit of wax through while damp and allowed it to dry naturally. Once dry, a little hairspray provided extra hold.

Butler has also worn his hair a bit longer, even touching his shoulders. When his hair is longer, it has a natural wave to it. This may style is very simple. For the most part, he could simply running his fingers through his hair with a small amount of gel on them to hold the hair in place for a messy, sexy look.

However, Gerard generally looks better with short hair. He is most often seen with a neat trim on the sides and back with just enough length on top to allow the hair to take on a mussed up appearance. This is a low maintenance hairstyle that does not even require a comb to accomplish. A small amount of pomade to provide a wet look and hold applied with the fingers is all that is needed to achieve this style once the hair has been cut to the proper length.
