Fall is almost here, which means football season is approaching! One of the biggest stars in the NFL at the moment (because his girlfriend Taylor Swift put him on the map) is Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently revealed he’d been “trying to get [Kelce] to grow his hair out and all of a sudden Taylor gets him to do it" on a recent SiriusXM town hall. So, it seems like the buzz cut era may be coming to an end.
For those transitioning out of their summer buzz cut as fall approaches, that weird in-between hair growth stage can prove a challenge to style and look presentable. Below, American Crew ambassador and stylist Andrew Zumbo (@andrewzumbo) shares tips on how to nail Travis’ style and embrace the grown-out look.
What hair style is Travis Kelce rocking?
Travis Kelce's current hairstyle is a modern and stylish look that combines a clean low to mid taper with a textured, longer top. Growing out a buzz cut can be a bit tricky and a task at hand, but with the right approach, you can manage the transition and avoid the awkward stages.
How should clients ask for this style?
When going to the barber, be sure to request a low to mid-skin fade or taper, where the hair is cut very short or down to the skin at the bottom and gradually blends into the longer hair on top.
Specify that you want to keep the hair on top longer, around 2-3 inches, so you can achieve a textured, natural finish. Ask your barber that you want the top to have a textured, slightly messy look, and request they use point-cutting techniques to achieve this effect.
By communicating these details to your barber, you can achieve a hairstyle similar to Travis Kelce’s current look, combining modern elements with a classic, masculine finish. American Crew Fiber, a 2023 Readers' Choice Award winner in the Men's Hair category.Courtesy of American Crew
