Eminem’s iconic platinum blonde hair was used as a marketing ploy for his persona Slim Shady. Decades later and the effects can still be felt as many fans today are unaware of his natural hair colour . Our Eminem hair editorial covers this.

 

 

Eminem Hair Type

From the image below we can see Eminem has type 1 straight hair which is easily identified since there is no curl pattern.

Type 1 Straight hair also varies in thickness and falls into different categories, thin, medium and coarse. Taking a quick glance we can see Eminem hair texture scales towards the thin side.

 

What is Eminem’s Natural hair Colour?

Ems natural hair colour is dark brunette. Throughout the majority of his childhood photos online we can see Eminem in brunette hair.

During his rise to fame in the 90s selling millions of albums he has left a lasting impression amongst fans globally and this is evident by a great percentage of fans still posing the question “Is Eminem naturally blonde?” No! Eminem is a brunette.

Today however he makes most of his public appearances in his dyed black hair.

Dark Black Buzz Cut (Current)

Throughout his career Em has kept his hairstyles relatively low and simple. Which is no surprise his current hairstyle has been short black and easy to manage.

Never styled outside his signature buzz cut look or dyed in a variety of colours Em ensures to keep a clean professional look which blends into his beard.

 

 

Platinum Blonde (Slim Shady Era)

During Em’s peak years we saw the rise of his alter ego Slim Shady who kept his hair blonde whilst wearing a plain t shirt and rapped about controversial topics.

This era made Eminem a star and something that most people remember by the colour of his hair.

The slim shady era lasted from around 1997 – 2006. He would then re dye his hair blonde in 2013

 

 

 

Key Take Away: Have a Signature Look

Whilst Eminem has kept his hair fairly simple throughout the years the consistency of the buzz cut has ultimately made this his signature look and you should have a look too!

 Here’s what you need to do

 

  • A/B test your Haircuts
    Find 2 to 3 haircuts you like and take pictures in them all to see which one is best suited to you
  • Grow out your Hair
    Its time to get experimental with your hair and this comes in the form of trying new styles

 

  • Select the Best Products
    Product selection comes down to ensuring what you use is best for your hair type. If you’re unsure ask your barber or hairstylist.

 

 

Going with the buzz cut is always a safe option!

The buzz cut is yet to fail men, masculine in appearance, low maintenance and versatile for all occasions is obvious why this classic has lasted decades.
