INTO BATTLE WITH PERFECT HAIR

3 May, 2019

The media are going wild for Avenger: Endgame – with a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It is edge-of-the-seat stuff, especially if you go 4DX, in which case you’ll also get soaked. While we were being thrown around and shot at in our seat – not to mention the rain – we couldn’t help pass an appraising eye over how the characters’ hair captured the personality of every player.

Thor’s long locks, shorn in by Ragnarok, are back, verging on dreadlocks reminiscent of marauding Vikings without access to Jacks of London A True Gent Volumising shampoo. Fortunately, you can still have Prince of Asgard texture while keeping hair clean and your scalp healthy. Instead use our True Gent Salt Spray between washes.

Hawkeye has become Mo-Hawkeye (say it out loud – it works. Yes, it does), sporting an undercut with lots of length up top. He’s not a happy bunny – something to do with Thanos’s genocide and his family ­– but his hair stays with him. We reckon he’s sneaked in a bit of American Crew Fiber to keep it in place as he and his Avenging buddies take on Thanos and save the universe (that’s not really a spoiler, is it?).

Fortunately, alongside Thor and Mo-Hawkeye, the inimitable Steve Rogers escaped annihilation to carry on leading the Avengers as they try to bring the Titan mass murderer to justice. The Cap is a man who knows the value of good grooming; he hardly ever has a hair out of place, yet at the same time manages to straddle two eras. He exudes the uptight mood of wartime while adding a bit of 21st-century cool. Longer, slicked-back looks work well with a little Jacks of London True Gent Pomade to tame the length.

Another chap who can’t and won’t shake off his army roots is War Machine. Tony Stark’s personal pilot and confidante, Colonel James Rhodes, aka War Machine, keeps it short and tidy as if he was still leading his forces in Vietnam. In contrast, Tony Stark/Iron Man can afford a more maverick look that belies his super-rich status. But you don’t need to be raking it in from awesome technological innovations to match Tony. You just need the regular attention of one of Jacks of London’s super barbers plus his or her advice on what products best suit your hair.

The final two guys headlining the fight back against the end of the universe are the mavericks of the Marvel universe, Bruce Banner and Scott Lang, aka the Hulk and Ant Man. Both present with slightly unruly, longer hair – Bruce in particular, but we’re not saying anything. It’s not so long that they couldn’t pass for the superheroes they are, but they still have an element of not-quite-fitting-in with the crowd. Hair like this loves American Crew Moulding Clay – it creates separation and volume all in one, a true superhero’s hair product.

So, over to you; which superhero sports the hair you most covet?
