The E-Boy Tiktok Haircut Trend Gives Us the Ick

Discover curated insights about The E-Boy Tiktok Haircut Trend Gives Us the Ick.

The TikTok boy haircut, also called the "wet mop," is a haircut that's shorter on the sides and back and longer on the top with a messy, textured look. Lifestyle and menswear creator Jonas Mair featured the cut as the top hairstyle of 2022.

This hairstyle really became popular when all the E-boys (a kind of "emo" TikToker who basically lives online and gets likes for being attractive) had their hair this way. Think Noah Beck, Bryce Hall, Huddy, and Josh Richards. And if you don't know who these people are, it's truly fine. (No hate to them but you really don't need to know who they are.)

Here's Noah Beck where he's even messing with the mop on the top of his head.

Bryce seems to have perfected the styling because, if you go through his videos, his hair ALWAYS looks like this.

Josh is definitely giving that just-out-of-bed, hat-hair type of look.

TikTok creator @jacob.jay_14 showed us a pretty good tutorial of how to get the look. Basically you have to blow dry your wet hair, brush it all forward, put some texturizing spray in it, use a round brush to blow dry the ends up, put more product it your hair, and finally mess it up until it looks purposefully disheveled.
