Look, maybe Drake isn’t the best rapper of all time. Maybe he lost the famous beef with Kendrick Lamar. Maybe! There’s a lot of maybe’s when Drake is around, but one thing is for sure – everything he does captivates the general public. He’s just that polarizing type of celebrity – you either hate him or you love him to death. The best part is that Drizzy is an all around celebrity, he’s not just a musician. Before becoming a rapper, he was an actor. He’s a producer, an artist. Drake is a philanthropist and a gambler. A sports fan, and a sports bettor. 

The Canadian superstar has amassed a massive following. He has collected more than 142 million followers only on Instagram. Champagne Papi even acts as a streamer these days. He has millions of eyes and ears on him regardless whether he’s releasing new music, posting on Twitter, or live streams on Kick while playing rounds of Wanted Dead or a Wild on Stake.com. That’s Drizzy for you. Six God sleeps at times, but those who follow him rarely do. 

Because of everything we said you will find no surprise to hear that Drake made millions of people discuss which one of his hairstyles throughout the years is the best. Yes, you got it right, we’re one of those folks. At the end of the day, there’s no arguing it, Drizzy has one of the best hairstylists out there. As a bonafide superstar he is not afraid to experiment, because whatever he does hair-wise is not subjected to criticism, it immediately becomes a worldwide trend. 

We’re sure you share our opinion on Drizzy though everything we wrote above, so it’s fair to assume you will stick with us as we comment further on the best Drake haircuts through the years. 

Fade

A simple word, and a bit complicated haircut. Fade is now a legendary style. Millions of people are rocking it. While we can’t say that Drake was the first one to rock this hairstyle, he is definitely the one who made it as popular as it is today. Today, fade can even be called a Drizzy signature hairstyle. Champagne Papi was consistent with fade just like Lionel Messi was for Barcelona during his heyday years. While almost a standard hairstyle these days, Drake made it unique by sporting fade on the sides with an overall buzz cut on the top. A top notch hairstyle no doubt when Six God showcasing it. 

Cornrow Braids

While not a signature cut for Drake as fade is, it happened a few times that ChampagnePapi had cornrow braids. A few times is more than enough to be photographed by paparazzi or to share a few photos on Instagram and the hairstyle is an instant hit. As you know, this hairstyle is best made when one has an afro hair type, and once done properly it requires little to no maintenance. Guess that recommendation wasn’t enough for Drizzy to wear it a tad bit longer. You could argue that Drake spent more time on his favourite crypto casino Stake today, than he did wearing this style of hair in public. 

Lover Boy

Well, Drake surely is a man of love. Many of his songs are dedicated to the gentler gender, and he is not shy of expressing emotions through lyrics. At one time in his life, Champagne Papi also decided to make his hairstyle one of love. We’re of the opinion that this was one of his most iconic, yet stylish and unique hairstyles. What made it so unique is the heart-shaped pattern at the front end of his head. As far as the rest of the hairstyle is concerned it usually was a simple fade kept short. While very few if any of us can be Drake, at least we can copy this hairstyle. Yes, people will say that we’d copied Drake, but if you’re in love, and want to make a statement, this might be one of the best ways to do it. A statement of love! 

Afro

There isn’t a hairstyle that Drake can’t pull off! Someone should tell him that a Drake sponsored by Stake sporting an afro just might be able to cancel the Drake curse with his next bet, and we’re sure that ChampagnePapi is aiming to bet on the upcoming Inter vs. PSG champions league final. As far as Afro goes, Six God really knew how to carry it. While a complicated person, Drizzy knows how to make things simple. Just look at his song The Motto and at his afro. It is a simple haircut that lets the hair roam free, with the only work required by the barber is to make it go round. It’s yet another of Drake’s low maintenance hairstyles. In the past, Drake was seen around numerous times wearing an afro, and it is usually before one of his signature hairstyles comes back to life. If you have curly or coiled hair, you can go for an afro as one of the more versatile hairstyles out there. It can be done with various hair lengths, with fade or low cut on the sides. Drake did it just right. 

Waves With Fade

Not many people can make so many fade variations the way Drake can. In essence waves with fade are not too different from standard fade. As you can see it on Drizzy this appearance comes with short, wavy hair on the top, which gets less curly and shorter on the sides until it is cut to the skin on the sides. It is another of Drake’s low maintenance hairstyles. Even your neighbour can do it with a bit of skill and a bit of hair products. Of course, maybe you won’t get the exact Six God treatment at your barber’s, but it is a look that can make people stop and stare at you if  done the right way – the Drake way. 

Wet Short Curly Afro

Do not think that we’re trying to make Drake an fashion icon here, but truth be told, rare are those who could make the best out of a wet curly afro. Yes, Drizzy did it, and he pulled it off in style. Unlike many of the hair styles we spoke off in this article, this is a bit more high maintenance than the rest. While it appears ideal if you’re in a pool, if you want that wet look at all times, you ought to use more than a  few hair products. Usually, the wet-gel can do the trick, but do not go with this one, if you’re not prepared to style it at all times. Not even Drake stayed with this one for too long. 

Buzz Cut With Fade

Here we have one of the more dangerous Drake appearances. Buzz cut fade is a rather minimalistic style. One needs courage and authority to pull it off. Six God did it the best if you ask us. If you disagree, please point at another celebrity who could pull off a look this dangerous and not appear ridiculous. Buzz cut fade is a hairstyle inspired by the military. It is one of many variations of classic buzz paired with plenty of fade. To get the best out of this look one needs to have quite short hair on top. Fade will start on the sides and finish at the back of the head, gradually getting thinner and thinner until it’s skin tight. It is vital to have your barber hit the notes on all of the hair that needs to be shortened by going downward from the top of your head where the buzz cut starts. 

Classic Drake

That’s right, there’s a haircut that is called a Classic drake haircut. The chances are you know what we are talking about. This classic starts with a low fade on the side. At the top the hair needs to be mid to short, and it needs to drop a bit deeper on the sides. Many people associate precisely this haircut with Drake himself. Throughout the years this hairstyle has become a part of his overall image, and we can’t argue otherwise. It is funny that Drake managed to launch this hairstyle considering that in essence it is a simple look, but we must say it, also very versatile. The best part about it is the fact that it is easy to maintain. This might be the main reason why it was and remains so popular among Drake fans. To keep it in order for a prolonged period of time between visits to a barber you only need a pair of clippers, hair gel, and a comb. That is all. A Drake Classic Haircut. 

Buzz Cut With Pattern

Rare are those who can make so many variations of a simple buzz cut the way Drake can do it. A buzz cut with a pattern is yet another signature hairstyle by the Canadian rapper. It is a combo of a classic buzz cut and a pattern which is shaved into the hair. For it to be Drake-like you need to cut your hair short, fade it on the sides and at the back, and create a pattern up in the front part of the hair by choosing a side. If done right, this haircut can give a unique and fabulous look to anyone. Of course, you will not be on pair with Drizzy but aiming that high is always recommendable. You know how to say, if you do not want to miss aim for the ground, but if you aim up you just might shoot a star. 

Line Up Haircut

Line up a great addition to any haircut. With Drake’s standard fade it bodes ideally. The line up is done when one wants to accentuate a hairline. To make it stand up your barber needs to add sharp angles that follow the hairline. Naturally, Drake carried this one out with ease due to his strong hairline, perfect curly hair, and natural taste for hairstyle types. When you add straight lines to your natural hairline you give your haircut a much needed structure. This haircut is best observed when you look at the person straight to the face. Depending on your hair type, and hairstyle, there are a few ways to approach adding lines to your haircut. In Drake’s case, he kept things simple. Drizzy keeps his hair short, making sure that the added lines accentuate his hairstyle as much as possible. It is a cool look, but you need to think it through before adding lines, as it will not bode well with every haircut, especially if you have  a longer haircut. 

Long Hair

Drake truly is a superstar of hairstyles. While he usually kept it short and tidy, we had a few chances of witnessing a long hair Drake. Even with long hair, Drizzy loved to experiment, as he kept it straight, curly, and even sleek at times. Among his long hair looks the most memorable one was one sported in 2018 when it was long and curly. Of course, this is not a low maintenance hairstyle, so it’s no wonder that Drake didn’t stick to it for too long. To keep your long and curly hair in order you need to groom it, polish it, and nurture it.
