In order to create the necessary straight look, if necessary make use of a flat iron and run through the strands in an upward direction for an edgy look or swept across to the side depending on personal preference. Finish the style by running a blow dryer from the front.

    • first you have to cut your hair right the most important thing is to ct the sides ad back to 5mm then you need the right products … use a shampoo and a conditioner after you washed an conditioned your hair dry it slghtly with a towel but to keep it still a bit wet after that barely brush and style your hair if you dont have straight use a flat iron well now if you have styled it barely without any products get your blowdryer and a brush and brush and blow it in the right direction if youre finished with that use this product (it’s the same that zayn uses) work it in your hair and then define the spikes … i hope that i helped you out with your hairstyling problem 🙂

  2. Yeah, well I got this look like 1 month ago, it’s really cool. You just use #2 or 3 (if you do not want it too short) on sides, I think it is the same on the back. To mold the long top hair I use 1) Shampoo (Loreal is good for me)2) Conditioner (Loreal) 3)Hair Wax. This one is kinda spanish wax. LOL(https://www.modajoy.com/images/xtremewax.jpg)

  6. i have the ecxact same hair type as zayn, but thats a bit weird cuz i am from europe, even though ive heard my ancestors are italian, turkish, and croatian. does that have anything to do with it? plus most people don’t see it but has a little cowlick, you can see it on how his hair on the right side is a bit more laid back than the left side, i have the same problem but zayn is better at hiding it.

  11. Hi,

    I got this look already like 2 months and I still like it. First you have to make the sides and the back 5 mm and then you need some good products which are:
    Loreal shampoo and conditioner and I prefer Loreal Fix & Shine Highglosswax which makes your hair shiny ( don’t use too much). Hope I helped you 😀

  18. Ok look for the top he prefers to keep his hair medium length (aproximately 3-4 inches long), not short or long lengths. For the sides and back he use a machine clip ether a 2 or 3 for the sideburns he get a taper which give them a faded look to them.
    GLAD TO HELP
