Military cuts have always been a means of expressing military standards of discipline and masculinity. This type of haircut was originally intended for use in military institutions as a means of ensuring military hygiene standards. In Scottsdale, we get a lot of guys coming in for military cuts because of their clean and easy-to-maintain look. If you’re looking for a sharp Scottsdale men’s haircut, the military cut is still a striking option. Below are a number of military cuts that you could try at First & Mane!
The High and Tight
The High & Tight is perhaps one of the most famous men’s military haircut styles ever. It consists of a very short or shaved section of hair around and at the back of the head, with a slightly longer section of hair on top that is still quite short. This particular aspect of a High & Tight is all about how high up the fade of hair is cut. This particular cut is one of the most convenient ones, as it is well-suited for a physically active individual because it will keep your hair off your neck and out of your ears.
The Buzz Cut
When it comes to low-maintenance haircut options, it is hard to beat the Buzz Cut. This cut entails cutting all of your hair uniformly short all over your head, using just one length of a guard. This is one haircut that needs no styling whatsoever. It is just a matter of washing your hair, and you are ready to go. This type of haircut is suitable for most types of hair, as well as those with striking facial features who want classic military haircut styles for men.
The Crew Cut
This is a classic cut that is a bit longer than a buzz cut. This is because it is cut so that it is tapered close all over, with longer hair on top that is long enough to be styled. In most cases, this hair is longest at the front and gets progressively shorter as it reaches up to the crown of the head. This can either be combed back, brushed to one side, or a messy look that is textured by using a bit of product. This is a good cut that fits all types of heads.
The Regulation Cut
The Regulation Cut is a more conservative and traditional military cut. This type of cut has a longer top that is neatly parted and combed to one side, while keeping the sides and back clean and short. Essentially, this is a classic side part haircut with a military cut’s structured look. This haircut radiates a clean and professionally put-together look, making it an awesome cut to wear to work.
In order to maintain such a haircut, one will need a good-quality comb and a light-hold styling cream or gel. For those who appreciate timeless military style haircuts for men, the Regulation Cut never goes out of style.
Choosing Your Style
Each of these military-inspired cuts offers a unique look, ranging from the dramatic look of a High and Tight haircut to a traditional Regulation Cut. In selecting a cut that is well-suited to your needs, you will need to take a number of factors into consideration. At First & Mane, we are always happy to assist you in selecting a cut that will meet your needs!
