The Man With the Greatest Hair on Earth

When you say the words Gucci Mane, most think of Alabaman rapper Radric Davis and his festive ice-cream face tattoo. But the real Gucci mane belongs to new Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele, who currently has the best head of hair on the planet. Maybe he’s born with it. Maybe it’s extensions. Maybe it’s just a continuation of the era of good male hair. Or maybe it’s shared good-hair vibes from his follicularly blessed friend, Jared Leto.

Matt Fugate, a Kerastase and celebrity hairstylist at Serge Normant whose clients include Karlie Kloss, says, “This is perfect example of men not being bashful about their hair! For sure he is a hair-care indulger. You can tell this by the overall health and shine of the hair and lack of breakage.” Fugate speculates that Michele’s hair secrets include a good deep conditioner and a sleek blowout.

Like his clothes, Michele’s super-shiny, smooth hair forces us to look at luxury in a whole new way. Click through the slideshow for more evidence that this man lives every day like he’s in a shampoo commercial.
