What is a crew cut?

A Crew Cut is a classic, short hairstyle characterized by its tapered back and sides and slightly longer hair on top of the head. It's a type of Tapered Haircut, meaning the hair gradually decreases in length down the sides and back of the head.

Key features of a crew cut include:

  • Short Length: The hair is generally short, typically no more than an inch or two on top.
  • Uniformity: The hair on top is often cut to a relatively uniform length, although slight variations are common.
  • Tapered Sides and Back: The hair on the sides and back is significantly shorter than the hair on top, creating a neat and clean appearance.
  • Easy Maintenance: Crew cuts are known for being low-maintenance and easy to style. They often require minimal effort to keep looking neat.
  • Versatility: While historically popular among athletes and military personnel, the crew cut is a versatile style that can be adapted to suit different face shapes and hair types. Slight variations in length and styling can create different looks.
