German Rapper Majoe: The Haircut Behind the Banger Look

|Philipp Magnus Hundertmark

German rapper Majoe, where the haircut and the banger look line up

Today's trend world is full of great haircuts. Whether it's Gzuz, YouTubers like ApoRed or footballers like Marco Reus. They all know how the game works when it comes to a sharp, fashionable hair style. Another believer in good styling in our "haircuts of famous people" section is Majoe, the German rapper. His hair always matches the rest of the picture. Slightly aggressive and still fashionably elegant, a banger, basically. Since the heads of your favourite artists interest you and shape your own choices to some extent, because everybody wants to take a run at looking like someone the women go for, we decided on the spur of the moment today to give the Majoe haircut its due. So in the lines below we'll drop an anecdote or two about the rapper's hair. On that note, enjoy today's Charlemagne Premium blog post on the Majoe haircut. Have fun, gentlemen.

Who's the one you call Mr. Majoe, Majoe

In court they call me (Mr. Majoe, Majoe)
My name and my image (Majoe, Majoe)
Soon it'll say on my ID (Mr. Majoe, Majoe)
I come on stage and they scream (Majoe)

That's how Mayjuran Ragunathan, born in Duisburg in 1989 and known by his given name, performs one of his best-known German rap tracks.

The German rapper of Tamil Sri Lankan descent presumably picked those lines because of his nickname and rap identity "Majoe". The name Majoe, in the sense of macho, says it all. No surprise then that the young man places great value on how he looks, and changes his haircut deliberately every now and then to stay ahead of the trend rather than just in it.

The Majoe haircut, or is it more of a macho haircut?

Majoe started his career in 2012, and the haircut that went with it was a closely clipped head. Even then the cut was a major trend across western Europe, one Majoe followed and helped shape. It wasn't only in red-hot series of the time such as Prison Break that you saw this cut. In the rap game in particular, that shorn head carried the required weight of aggression and street credibility.

Soon after came the undercut. That version of the Majoe haircut wasn't confined to the rap scene either, it was a worldwide trend, and it's still going today. If you're after a closer explanation, you'll find it here.

The Majoe haircut today

Today Majoe still wears his hair as an undercut. This time, though, the hair on top is left longer and combed back, while the sides and the nape stay clipped short. In summer especially it's a fresh, relaxed style, and on Majoe himself it looks excellent. So the Majoe haircut is remarkably varied and adaptable. Much like the rapper himself.

As you've read, the Majoe haircut can't be pinned down to one shape, and it's very much tied to current fashion. Rightly so, we think, because no rapper of our time should be wearing the classic mullet, short at the front and long at the back, if he wants to be taken seriously. People have to embody in their style what they put out. Majoe's hair is a great tool for the rapper in living up to his banger look (as you'll know, Majoe is signed to Banger Music). Naturally the right style also needs the right care products. Hair wax or pomade is the deciding factor, and which one depends entirely on the man wearing the hair. Pairing it with a beard will also work wonders for whatever face shape you have. We'll say it bluntly at this point: you're on the hunt for the look that suits you too, so take a look at our Charlemagne Premium shop. You'll find what you've been searching for on the long road to beard and hair care, because:

"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 100%. There were some good products on the market, but none that really gave us everything we needed. After some thought we decided in 2014 to develop our own range. For two years we used every free minute after work at the barbershop to refine the formulations down in our cellar. When it came to ingredients, only the best was good enough for us. 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 it has of course been developed further, continuously. That is one of the reasons Charlemagne Premium products have won not one but several comparison tests in recent years.

You will 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.
