Antoine Griezmann Hairstyle 2016: The Short Side Sweep

Product update: By Vilain Powermade has been improved and reformulated as By Vilain Flow Pomade. The original images have been retained and may show the former Powermade product.

The Slikhaar version of Antoine Griezmann’s 2016 hairstyle is a short side sweep with a longer fringe and a close gradient around the sides. This article preserves that era-specific reference and explains how to style it without relying on the photographs alone.

What to ask your barber for

The tutorial sides run from around 3 to 6 mm, with approximately 3 mm to 1 cm through the back. The top is around 2 cm, increasing to 4–5 cm at the fringe. Ask a barber to adapt those proportions rather than copying the shortest lengths regardless of your hair.

Prepare the hair and tools

Keep a reference photo, a suitable comb or brush, a dryer if you use one, and your chosen styling product nearby. Start with hair that is free of heavy buildup. If shampooing, follow with conditioner where your lengths need it and rinse as directed. Blot rather than rub with a towel.

Set the direction before adding the finish

Guide the longer fringe across to the side while drying, with a little lift at the root. Keep the crown compact. Reverse the direction if that works better with your natural part; the silhouette is more important than forcing an exact left-to-right copy.

Choose the hold and shine

For a defined finish, use a small amount of Silver Fox. Flow Pomade is an optional finishing choice when you want more shine and flexibility. Mixing products can change the result; it is not a guarantee of stronger hold or all-day performance.

Adjust the result to your hair

If the front drops over your eyes, check both its length and drying direction. If the top separates too much, use less product and shape with the flats of your fingers rather than repeatedly pinching individual strands.

Use the original tutorial as a reference

The retained Slikhaar images document the original version of this look. Show the haircut details to your barber and use the styling sequence as a starting point. Cutting, graduation and selective weight removal are barber decisions; home styling begins with the finished haircut.
