The 4B and 4C hair pattern is tightly coiled which requires the most moisture of all hair groups due to easy breakage.

Hair type is dependent by genetics and race which can be seen here by the Nigerian athlete.

At this point it’s evident to see that Giannis’s sponge twists is his signature hairstyle. The athlete has gone through buzz cuts to mohawk but his twists have served him best.

On afro textured hair twists and coils are accentuated with the use of a sponge which we can see Giannis doing. There are various twists for men styles, however this is best suited for those with shorter hair.

1. Purchase your hair sponge from your local hair store or amazon

2. Slightly dampen hair with A spritz

3. You may also apply some of your styling product to the sponge.

4. Use sponge and go in a circular motion across your head.

5. Visit the barber before or after twisting for a fresh line up

 

 

 

High Top

The influence of 90s faded high tops continually presents itself with modern rappers and athletes styling their hair this way which we have seen all through Giannis’s career.

We should warn you though, your face shape plays an important role in deciding whether or not the style will be best suited for you. Have an oval face shape? Then your game!

Visit your barber every week or 2 to keep hair fresh and low on the sides.

 

 

South of France

One of the most distinctive hairstyles for black men is the south of France haircut which is simply a mohawk with burst fades on the sides.

Today the style is also known as the Usher Haircut since he is single handily responsible for bringing the style mass attention which has resulted in athletes pulling off the same look.

 

 

Mohawk

Giannis Mohawks are classy which enables him to pull it off for all formal affairs whilst also sporting the look on game days.
