Men’s Short Hairstyles

Hairstyles for men are usually not as complicated as women’s but there are still a lot of ways to do your hair if you are men. Age, style, and clothing are among main factors that can effect what hairstyles will look good on you. Men’s hairstyles usually follow the trends of the times. Short hairstyles never go out of fashion. However, some work better than others depending on the shape of your face and the type of hair you have.
The very short hairstyle is great for men who just do not want to bother with their hairstyle. Short hairstyles for men can provide both a classy look as well as a rough look. This is good because men are different and have different styles or even change their styles from time to time.
There have been several male celebrities who have provided different styles with their very short hairstyles. Some very famous of them include Wentworth Miller, Brad Pitt, and Tom Cruise. For the rougher look, Marshall Bruce Mathers III, better known by his stage names Eminem and Slim Shady, provides a tough look that is a different style than the above-mentioned celebrities. His look has started a new trend and many young men have donned his hairstyle. Colin Farrell is another celebrity whose hairstyle defined how very short hairstyle could be styled with the bad boy image. So it is so easy to see that short hairstyle for men is very versatile. Here, we’re going to talk about some very popular ones.

Crew Cut
A crew cut is a fairly generic term for a very short cut that is tapered on the back and sides, and tapered on the top of the head to have a little more length toward the front hairline. The contour of the head is usually followed on the top, giving a somewhat rounded look.

Bowl Cut
This cut features longer hair around the top of the head, and shorter hair around the lower part of the head, with little or no blending between the two lengths. It gets it name as it looks as though someone took a bowl, placed it on top of the head, and then cut all the hair that stuck out from beyond the border of the bowl. Because this style is frequently associated with kids getting their hair cut at home by mom, it may make the wearer appear boyish and young.

Brush Cut
For the brush cut, the sides and back are cut short and tapered, but the hair on the top of the head is usually cut to the same length, following the curve of the head. The top is worn straight up to look like the bristles of a brush.

Burr and Butch
The burr is created by taking a clipper with a very short blade and cutting all the hair on the head to the same length (typically 1/8 inch or shorter). A burr is short enough that it feels a bit rough, like sandpaper, when you rub the head against the grain of hair growth.

The butch is also created by taking a clipper and cutting all the hair to the same length on the top of the head (usually about 1/4 inch or so). It is longer than a burr. A butch may or may not be tapered around the ears and near the neckline, depending on the preference of the wearer.

Ivy league
The sides and back are cut short and tapered across the crown, and the hair gradually becomes longer and fuller toward the front. In a classic ivy league, enough hair is left in the front so that it can be neatly parted and styled, usually with pomade or gel.
