Men’s Short Hairstyles

Businessman's Cut
A businessman's cut is a generic term for a conservative, short (but not too short) haircut that is appropriate for an office setting. It usually refers to a tapered cut on the back and sides, with enough length on the top of the head to be able to part the hair or wear it brushed back from the forehead. There are several possible variations on the businessman's cut.

Pompadour
A pompadour is a generic term for a style that wears the hair brushed up and back from the forehead. Pompadours can be very short or very long on the top. Elvis Presley wore a few different pompadour styles in his lifetime, some short and some long.

Fade
A fade is an extreme type of taper cut, where the hair on the sides and back is cut very, very close to the head and then tapered upward – usually beginning above the ears or at the temple – to a longer length on the top of the head.

Flat Top
For the flat top, the hair on the sides and back are usually cut in a short taper, and the hair on the top is cut to stand up and give a very flat appearance to the top of the head. There are a number of possible length variations with the flat top, though the longer the hair on the top, the more likely you will need some sort of styling product (hair wax) to keep it standing up straight.

Regulation
“Regulation” is a generic term that refers to short, military style haircuts, often featuring “whitewalls”. The military isn’t entirely specific about how hair should be styled, so there are many different cuts that can technically qualify as adhering to regulations.

Taper cut
A classic taper cut is simply a short haircut where the sides and back are cut progressively shorter down toward the neck, with even blending throughout. The hair on the top of the head is also tapered, but can be cut quite short, or left long enough to part or otherwise style with gel or pomade. A good taper cut should show no demarcation lines; the transitions between hair lengths should be smooth. Most short cuts employ at least some tapering.
