JavHair: An Illustrated Analysis ⭐
- a) Standard Ponytail: Bless Philip Quast for popularizing this look. Historical inaccuracy aside, it’s become his signature both onstage and in fanworks. Bonus points if he ties it with a ribbon!
- b) Braid!vert: Rumored to be a Bradley exclusive..
- c) Wrapped ponytail: I’ve only seen this style on a couple Javert’s, namely Tam Mutu and Arai’s manga-vert. Jeremy Secomb also rocked it in the 2015 London production^^
- d) Loose hair: Another common look for post-barricade Javert. Michael Ball had the front pulled back with a cute little bow, so I went with that style!
- e) Curly!vert: So far I’ve only seen these pretty ringlets on the likes of Jérôme Pradon, Hayden Tee and Drew Sarich but there could be other examples. Sebastiao Saramago (French Javert) also had very nice natural curls (ꈍᴗꈍ)
- f) Bun!vert: Bun-vert needs no introduction. I’ve seen a range, from high messy buns to half-updos. So far I only know of Bradley’s, PLEASE contact me if there’s info on any others!
Don’t get me wrong, I am quite partial to clean-cut Javerts with shorter hair (here’s looking at you, Earl). I grew up more accustomed to this style, having grown up with Crowe!vert and a handful of well-kempt Javerts at my local theatre (good ol’ Utah) before I was introduced to the glory of Philip Quast and the West End. I’ve also seen some hott mulletverts, and Roland Karl (French concert Javert) made bald!vert EXTREMELY sexy. Let me know which look is your favorite!
