Jeo Ong’s Bad Boy Look Goes Viral: How to Recreate His Edgy Visuals

Content creators, professionals, public transportation drivers, millennials, Gen Z, and almost the entire population are going into a frenzy over the current season of PBB. Part of the current obsession is Jeo Ong‘s signature heartthrob bad-boy look! It seems like our visual standard for a leading man has instantly shifted because Jeo’s grunge look—long hair with his signature bandana and hair tendrils—created a new identity of a striking protagonist that contrasts a female lead’s soft, angelic face and demure persona! 

Long before Jeo joined PBB, he has always been particular with his look, especially with his hair. He may have a history of cutting it short, but he always goes back to his signature soft long hairstyle, paired with his mosaic bandanas. His look isn’t as tedious as we think, and to recreate it, there are simple ways to ensure that our long hair elongates our features very well rather than contradicting them. For men, and for ladies who want the men in their lives to channel Jeo’s bad-boy aesthetic, here’s a quick routine guide!

Step 1: The first and most important part is for men to grow their hair out. Since men have traditionally kept their hair short and in various styles, letting it grow out naturally builds that effortless texture just like Jeo’s.

Step 2: Establish a regular hair care routine. Wash your hair with shampoo, but you may want to refrain from using heavy conditioners. Since men typically have shorter hair and oilier scalps than women, massaging the scalp plays a pivotal part in keeping it healthy and balanced. Given the intense humidity, you can wash your hair every day or every other day, depending on your scalp condition.

Step 3: Once you’ve grown your hair out, keep the ends trimmed to prevent frizz. As for skincare, always test products to see what works best with your skin type. If you have oily skin, opt for a facial cleanser with salicylic acid and pair it with a lightweight moisturizer at night. Above all, always wear sunscreen in the morning to prevent hyperpigmentation and achieve clear skin just like Jeo!

Step 4: Complete your overall look with that iconic accessory! The style wouldn’t be complete without your own version of a bandana. But that’s not the only thing you need, you also need to groom it flawlessly. The key? Leave face-framing tendrils in the front to fully emanate the “gangster” look!

Long, rugged hairstyle? Check! Clear skin? Check! Bandana? Check! Large hair tendrils in the front? Check! You’re now your own version of a leading man!
