If you can even come close to having a hairstyle like that I don't know why you're on a Hair Loss board.

You got to understand that not all hairstyle will work for everybody. You have to have the face structure to have that hairstyle. Brad Pitts has a great face struction which mostly any hairstyle will work for him. If you can pull it off then go for it. If you dont have the hair then try something else. I'm growing my hair out now and I really dont think it's the right look for me but I still go for it. I want the dream. My hair is about 5 inches long and I want it to be 1 to 2 feet long but I know it will look bad and I will cut it. I don't know the style of the hair that Brad Pitt is styling in that photo. If you walk in a hair salon tell the stylist to cut the sides/back short, cut the front 1 inch above the eye brow and texture the hair all around. Make sure it's very texture if you want to pull it off. Good Luck.

ACT10Npack is right, you'll never be able to have EXACTLY the same cut and style as another person, since you'll have different hair, different volume, different bone structure, etc.

However, you can always try for something close. I'm not a professional stylist by any means, but I do have an interest in hairstyles. These are just my opinions based on the photo:

My advice is to take that exact picture to a very talented stylist (it may cost a bit, but it'd be worth going to someone that understands how to add texture and not do a simple one length cut). They could do some razor texturing and a really nice scissors cut to get an approximation of that look. There appear to be a few different lengths in there, and I doubt it's something that your local Fantastic Sam's could do with clippers...don't think it's exactly a job for an old-school barber, either. Notice that ther aren't a lot of blunt cuts, it's more tapered, which makes me think either CAREFUL use of thinning shears, or more likely the ends have been razored (which adds texture and helps to get a really nice blend between lengths).

Based on the fact that the hair in the picture is matte and doesn't look clumpy like gelled hair, I'd assume that you'd need to use either a wax or styling paste to get the hair to stay in shape, while keeping that soft, textured finish.

Good luck, and I hope you can acheive the style you're looking for.

P.S. ACT10Npack, it's definitely possible to have that much hair, so long as your hair will grow that long. Mine used to be about 26-28", but now that it's thinning it'll only grow about 16-18". I'm a diffuse NW5, but with careful styling I can get it looking pretty decent (in the interest of full disclosure, I use both concealers and a partial hairpiece, but if your hair's thicker than mine or you're not as receded you could get away with just careful styling and maybe a little Prothik or Toppik).
