In addition to this we continue to see KSI wear his signature bandana around his forehand with his dreads. Despite all of this, if you’re over 35 there is a good chance you’ve never heard of KSI. His fame is almost entirely contained on YouTube and social media. He exemplifies a modern strand of celebrity that usually bypasses older generations completely. Despite being young and handsome and in demand, he has never done an in-depth, mainstream press interview and fashion shoot like this one, because – frankly – he doesn’t need to. From the comfort of his home and using nothing more than his own talent and a camera, he’s become a household name to anyone in their teens with a following many pop stars and actors could only dream of. Not only was his permed hair unconventional but it was deliberately styled in a way which made you pay attention no matter how bad it looks, and let’s get one thing straight, it was terrible! High Top

Hello, KSI. We’re here in your swanky flat in central London. What’s the best thing about living 30 billion feet in the sky? His opponent? Fellow YouTuber Joe Weller. The bout was the culmination of months of bad blood and trashing talking between the two, and was set to become easily the biggest live event in YouTube’s history with 1.6 million eager fans waiting to watch online. Ensure you save the images of your desired style to your loctician and explain what you’re looking for. Nevertheless, we must feature this style as it marks a time in his journey! Most KSI fans will tell you this was one of the first styles he had.They’d both be disappointed. In the end, KSI vs Weller was a surprisingly accomplished demonstration of boxing which KSI won handily within three rounds after the referee stopped the match. Before launching his final flurry of punches against Weller's head, KSI beat his chest in defiance: another point proved. Whilst he went onto try other hairstyles after this he kept his sides shaved which we see today on his high top dreads. Permed Hair

He said: ‘You’re not yourself today,’” KSI recalls, “and he was right: I just didn’t know what to do. Everything was going through my head. Thoughts… nerves… thinking I had over trained... It was weird.” Oh yeah, yeah. Of course. And haircuts Iused to have. There’s acharacter called Uub in Dragon Ball Zthat Ihad asimilar haircut to. That was abit of amistake. Ihad amohawk. Iwent bald for asecond. I’ve been through it. I like proving people wrong,” he says looking into the middle distance, a smile creeping across his face. “I love proving people wrong. People saying: ‘No, you can’t do this’, then showing them you can – it’s the best feeling ever. Whenever I put my mind to something, I make it work. I put 110% into it, thinking: ‘How do I beat the next guy? I need to work harder than the next guy.’” Disclaimer:Whilst colour can be placed at any stage of your dreads journey, we advise you avoid placing any colour or bleach in your hair for the first few months as your hair begins to develop. It’s one of those things where because it’s his first offence, I’d give him a bit of leeway,” KSI says about his American counterpart. “Everyone makes mistakes. You have to learn from your mistakes and don’t make them again, and realise a lot of people are influenced by you.” However, he adds, “It’s stupid that [in a subsequent video] he tased a dead rat.”

I always take inspiration from Donald Glover and Will Smith and all these people who don’t just do one entertainment thing,” he explains. And it appears that his straight-to-digital buddy comedy with Caspar Lee didn’t scratch the acting itch for him, either.

The same year, KSI took on Logan Paul in one of the most lucrative non-professional boxing fights of all time alongside his brother Deji who took on Logan’s younger brother, Jake Paul.Oh yeah, Ilove space. Ilove everything about space, Ijust think it’s so intriguing. Especially the idea of there being another life form out there. We have no idea, and they probably have no idea as well. Or maybe they do have an idea and we don’t really know. Ithink it’s cool. Though he says YouTube is “still the core” of what he does and “allows everything else to blossom”, he is keen to expand his horizons – and not just by beating the crap out of his peers in the boxing ring.

While his YouTube videos centered mostly around FIFA, he also participated in eSports competitions where he went on to beat the notable Virgin Gaming co-founder Zach Zeldinfull.
