In the first movie, Enola endeared herself to her brother, Sherlock. In the sequel, he's now stepped into the role of her legal guardian. "He's a very likable character, so we have to make him look attractive and soft, not hard," King explains. Sherlock's hair plays an important role in telling this storyline and adds another layer to his character. "He is suave, sophisticated, [and] lovely," King says. "So although [his hair is] sort of controlled, it's wonderful because it's quite loose at the same time." This also allowed the hair team to manipulate it as needed to reflect his character's mental state at various points in the film. "It's very easy to portray that sudden unkemptness about him" in instances when he was drunk or feeling a bit disheveled, says King.
The product they relied on the most to style Cavill's hair for the role was Captain Fawcett's Classic Pomade ($19).
