The Secret Behind the Marco Reus Haircut

Women take their cues on trends and fashion from well known actresses. It works much the same way for men, the cast of characters is just a little different. Footballers set the trends here, and hair above all. Marco Reus, the German international and Borussia Dortmund forward, is one of the names you can genuinely call a style pioneer, mostly because of his haircut. Plenty of younger men want the Marco Reus cut. We'll go through a few of his looks below.

Who is Marco Reus?

Marco Reus is a German footballer, born on 31.05.1989. Dortmund born, he has played for his home club for most of his career and has been a Germany international since 2011. Alongside the on-trend haircuts, the man has picked up the odd headline for his taste in beautiful women and fast cars.

His cuts, the Marco Reus haircut

Reus's cuts turn up again and again among the most copied footballer haircuts anywhere in the world. The exact look shifts from season to season, but as a rule he wears a fade paired with a textured comb over.

That comb over is often dressed up with so-called highlights, usually a few blonde streaks worked through the top.

Other versions of the cut keep a short fade on the sides with the top left longer, much like a classic tapered short back and sides.

Any barber worth the name can put the Marco Reus cut on your head. As haircuts go it's a straightforward job, and you'll get it in any barbershop.

The easiest route is to bring a photo of the version you want so you can show your barber exactly what you're after.

The rest is down to you. You're probably wondering what we mean by that.

The deciding factor with this cut is the length you leave on top. Cut it shorter or longer and the whole thing reads completely differently.

We'd point you towards a mid length on top, styled with a good pomade. That way you can restyle through the day without your hair going sticky. Which is an important point with this cut, by the way.

The man is an athlete. To keep hair in place through that sort of activity you need something stronger than pomade. It's fair to assume he's wearing hair gel during matches, to name one option.

As you can see, the Marco Reus haircut is no great undertaking. If you're going for the same look, you'll find the products to keep it looking right in our Charlemagne Premium shop.

„A healthy and well groomed beard is important for a real man, that's why we offer everything you need to keep yours doing so.“

As barbers with more than 20 years in the trade between us, we went looking for styling & care products that convinced us completely. There were some good products on the market, but none that gave us everything we needed. After some thought, in 2014 we decided to develop our own range. For two years we spent every free minute after work at the barbershop down in our cellar, refining the formulas. When it came to ingredients, only the best was good enough. We bought the finest jojoba oils available in Morocco, and argan oil from Italy.

After two years and a good many attempts, our first product line was ready, and it has been winning our customers over ever since. We think 98% positive reviews speak for themselves. Since the official launch in 2016 we've kept developing it, of course. That's one of the reasons Charlemagne Premium products have won not just one but several comparison tests in recent years.

You'll find all our products right here in our online store. For any questions about them, you can reach us any time at info@charlemagne-premium.com.
