MENS HAIR STYLES

Burr The hair is cut to 1/8 inch all over the head. A perfect low-maintenance hair style.
Butch/Buzz cut Hair is cut with clippers to a uniform length all over the head. A low maintenance style, which can suit thinning hair.
High and Tight The sides are shaved completely free of hair. The top is generally cut in a short flat top, or buzzed to around 1/7 or ¼ inch. The high and tight is a fairly standard cut for US Marines.
Ivy League cut The back and sides are cut short, about ¼ inch (similar to a crewcut). Over the crown, the hair is also cut quite short- the same length as the back and sides, or it may start to get a little longer. From the crown forward, the hair gets a little longer.
Medium Fade The hair is shaved completely to the skin up the sides and back of the head and then tapered, blended or 'faded' into the length on top. No visible lines in this haircut when properly done. Among US Marines, this haircut would be called a Medium Reg (Regulation).
Low Fade The hair is shaved to the skin around the bottom of the sides and back of the head and then tapered, blended or 'faded'into the length at the top. No visible lines in this haircut when properly done.
Crew Cut The hair is cut short on the sides and back with the hair on top graduated in length from the front of the hairline to the back of the crown. The hair on top should conform to the general contour of the head.
Flattop The hair is cut similar to a Crew cut, except the top is cut to form a flat shape. This style suits most ages and professions.
Faux Hawk Resembles a Mohawk, but without the shaved sides. Can also be worn down/flat for a conservative look.
Caeser Cut Short, horizontally straight cut bangs, named after Julius Caesar. Worn by George Clooney for many years.
Short Taper The hair on top is slightly longer, while the sides taper quite short around the nape and above the ears.
Classic Taper Hair is cut progressively shorter lower down towards the nape of the neck. It tapers down. Generally done wiht electric clippers to give a crisp, freshly cut look. Suits any age, lifestyle or profession.
Layer Cut Shorter sides, slightly tapered, with longer hair on top. Texturized top, cut with a razor. Add gel or wax for a messy style.
Medium Layered The hair is cut slightly shorter on the sides and back. Can be brushed back with gel for a sleek look.
Graduation Hair is left long enough to comb on top and gradually tapers down close around the sides and back. Can be worn messy for slicked back with gel for a formal look.
Shag (Long Layered) A razor gives the cut a shattered, deconstructred look around the front and sides.
