What would Jekyll's hair look like in real life? Does anyone know about hair?

Someone messaged me to ask if I had any good reference for Jekyll's hair in the hopes that they could match that haircut in real life. I had to say no because my brain operates in a cartoon universe and if Jekyll's hair ever had a real-life inspiration, it evolved away from it years ago. More importantly, I know nothing about how hair works and have, despite many efforts to the contrary, managed to accidentally get the exact same haircut for the past ever years. Any advice I gave would probably be super wrong.
But I would like to turn the question over to you guys--does anyone here know about hair? In a cosplay context, maybe? Would you have any idea how to achieve a Jekyll-like haircut in real life?
My only suggestion is that Jekyll's hair, translated into the real world, would probably involve much shorter bangs than he has in the comic--I sort of get away with his big silly sidebangs as a 2D illustration, but I suspect it would be too ridiculous in real life. I would love to see if anyone could suggest a hairstyle that invokes Jekyll but stays within the realm of the not-insane!

I looked it up and you're right! Though maybe with a bit less curl to it, it's still darn close!

Or in Jekyll's case, sleep. But we all know he can't have that!

He does have weirdly long bangs XD I like it anyways, of course. Just never noticed. I just can't imagine Henry as a real person! To Google!
Edit- Google's good for finding anime pictures to match your characters, but not so much for finding Jekyll haircuts. They're all too long... >~<

I have a friend how actually had Jekyll's hair cut about a year ago. I'll try to have them send me a picture of it but it looks exactly like Jekyll's to a T. (Note I will block out their face if they are kind enough to send me a picture.)

Ok so we weren't able to find the exact picture of her having Jekyll hair but I was able to find something really close to that point in time. I think the front is pretty spot on while the back needs to look like the picture ancestor posted (It grew out really fast). Anyways this is with her permission. She's also thinking cut like that again so I will be sure to snap a better picture next time.

I feel like this would be a pretty accurate front (at least for the bangs)

And something like this in the back, descending in a straight line and doing a 120° angle, except bit higher than in the picture
