It’s that time again. The 2024 Olympic Games are right around the corner. In this celebration of global sports, the world will gather to watch the best athletes compete. Along the way, there are also some great hairstyles from the participants.
2024 Olympics - Best Hair Styles
While it would be impossible to cover them all, we will illuminate some of the best styles from the classic French crop, detailing what a skin fade is and even the modern mullet. We will also list which Crazy Bull hair styling product you’ll need to perfect these 2024 Olympics styles.
Neal Skupski – Great Britain – Tennis
The tennis tournament is arguably one of the most followed events at the Olympics, often noted as the fifth Grand Slam when it takes place. We’ve already covered some of the best styles at the 2024 Wimbledon tournament.
Neal Skupski reached the semi-finals in men's doubles. He hopes to do better at the Paris Olympics in 2024, where he will play with his partner, Joe Salisbury.
If you want to look as distinguished as Skupski, put some Bull Blaster Sea Salt Spray in your basket to give you the same lift. First, think about your hair type. If you have thin hair, try using Space Dust texture powder. Consider using Clay Play hair clay to shape and style your thicker hair. Then, you’ll be ready to pair with Skupski at the next tournament!
Manuel Eitel – Germany – Decathlon
How many sports or skills are you good at? Imagine being good at ten distinct disciplines…that’s what Manuel Eitel and other decathletes do! They compete to be the overall best across ten different athletic sports.
German athlete Manuel Eitel is excited to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics. He hopes to win a medal after beating his personal record at a competition in Austria last year. Conveniently for us at Crazy Bull, he has a good head of hair, which he styles exceptionally well on and off the track. He usually switches between types of skin fade.
He sweats a lot from playing in ten events but still styles his hair to look volumised and matte. If you want this similar look, try using Space Dust styling powder. Or, if you’d prefer that post-race wet look, try our pomade.
Catarina Costa – Portugal – Judo
Portugal might be more well-known for football heroes like Cristiano Ronaldo. However, one of the stars of the Portuguese athletes going to the 2024 Summer Olympics is Catarina Costa. She’s a judoka, representing her country in the -48kg weight division.
The first thing you notice about Catarina is her modern mullet variation. Expect to see her wavy hair move around as she contests fierce judo matches.
What hair products do you need for this look? Well, first, you need a mullet! If you already have one, you can use Space Dust, our hair texture powder, to achieve this matte finish.
If you want to tame this slightly longer style with a stronger hold, try our styling clay, Clay Play. Salt Spray for hair will also add volume, similar to Costa’s.
Mohammed Ahmed – Canada – Long Distance Running
This will be the fourth Summer Olympic Games that Mohammad Ahmed has attended, making him one of the veterans of the Paris 2024 Olympics. As he’s gotten older, he’s certainly gotten more fashionable, as he now has something between a curly French crop hairstyle and a skin fade with longer hair on top.
He’s scheduled to run in 5000m and 10,000m races. He came second in the shorter distance at the games. Can he do better and take gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics?
If you have a similar hair type, consider styling your hair with clay but with a small amount or using hair paste to define the natural look. In moderation, Clay Play and Funky Head can help you achieve your styling goals.
Filipe Toledo – Brazil – Surfing
Are you looking for a surfer’s hair? You can't go wrong by taking inspiration from Filipe Toledo, a Brazilian surfer competing at the 2024 Olympic Games. Given that he is always by the sea or in it for his vocation, he naturally has a salty, voluminous look. Unless you’re also a professional surfboarder, you must use Bull Blaster Hair Salt Spray to replicate those beachy looks.
People with Paris Olympics 2024 tickets may be disappointed that the surfing isn’t being held in Paris, France or even Europe. The waves are much better in French Polynesia, south of Tahiti in the Pacific Ocean. Irrespective, he will remain one of the style icons of this Olympic Games.
Alina Grijseels – Germany – Handball
Handball is popular in Europe and Asia but not as well-known in the US and the UK. It is a widely played sport in some countries, but it is not as popular in nations that focus more on other sports. Alina Grijseels is part of the German team that wants to improve its standing in the sport.
She has a distinctively short style, similar to a textured French crop; this is a low-maintenance hairstyle with minimal styling effort. Given that she wants to keep her fringe from impeding her view of the court, working her hair with clay will provide a decent hold while she plays.
FAQs
I prefer movies. Can you tell me how to style my hair like that of movie stars instead of athletes?
For sure! If you want Ryan Gosling's hair instead, check out our movie blog post on replicating his pomade hair look and style.
Is there any correlation between hair styling and success at the Olympics?
Probably not. An athlete’s hair is best not to impede their vision. Whether they use hair powder for volume or have a low taper fade clay hair style, it won’t improve or decrease their ability on the track.
