Drawing inspiration from the hair style trends of our favorite stars and celebrities has become a national pass time. One such star whose hair style is emulated by men of all ages is Hollywood ’s eternally tanned ladies man George Hamilton. His pin neat hair style, boyish good looks, uncanny charm, Palm Beach tan and urbane sophistication are irresistible to women attracted to the glamorous distinguished types.  

TO GET THE LOOK:  Do you get a feeling your gray hair and old style is making you look passé and out of step with the times? Before you throw in the towel, take a hair styling lesson from gorgeous George Hamilton. This dapper movie star and legendary playboy can show you how to look drop dead handsome at any age. To get the look, let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a style cut and shaping. 

LET’S SHAPE IT: For George’s style, start with a contoured silhouette for a full look with close mid-length sideburns and stylish collar length neckline. The sides, crown and front are shaped to fit the size of the head and face from all points of view. For those looking for a no fuzz style, this shapely do’ almost styles itself. With a few adjustments (tweaks) as it grows you can find the ideal length and shape for your style. 

LET’S STYLE IT: To style, start with a dab of a shaping gel, or styling mousse or nothing at all. Just run either through damp hair and comb in place to dry au natural or give it a quick tousle with a blow dryer for a full look. If your locks look a bit dry or frizzy after using a blow dryer, a dab of styling cream will tame it. For a textured effect, when dry, finger comb a puff of forming pomade through the top and sides and you’ve got George Hamilton’s star style! 

LET’S ADD SIDEBURNS AND ACCESSORIES: Nothing can reshape a face or add a dramatic look like facial hair. For example, sideburns can be full, close, long, short or narrow. This simple addition can make large ears appear smaller, a narrow face wider, accent cheek bones and definitely adds a stylish or artsy look. Include taped mid length sideburns and Hollywood sun glasses with a skin bronzer for a Palm Beach tan and you’re almost there. 

NOW, LET’S COLOR IT:  Movie actors change their hair color often for the many roles they play and George Hamilton is no exception. To put his graying hair stylishly “under-cover”, George is given a warm “Smokey gray” hue with a semi-permanent tint. The left over tint is used to darken the eye brows for a natural look. To add a distinguished effect the white hair around the temples and forehead is not colored. To keep it up, the new growth is re-colored every other month. This extra step will cost a few bucks but what the hell, it’s a small price to pay for a distinguished look and all the attention you get. 

This dapper movie star hair style puts you back in the game looking “drop dead” handsome and ten years younger, in a stylish grown up way. The contoured silhouette fits the shape of your head and face perfectly from all points of view. The tapered sideburns and Hollywood sun glasses with a skin bronzer for a Palm Beach tan add a “cool casual” look. The all over Smokey Gary color with silver temples give it a distinguished look and puts your dull gray hair stylishly under-cover. Heads will turn and your pal’s will be green with envy when they see all the young ladies making a fuss over you and your dapper movie star style.
