Regular haircut
.jpg)
Regular Haircut is a men's and boys' hairstyle that has hair long enough to comb on top, a defined or deconstructed side part, and a short, semi-short, medium, long, or extra long back and sides. The style is also known by other names including taper cut, standard haircut, and businessman's haircut. A regular haircut is traditionally styled with water-based hair gel, but can also be styled with pomade or wax.
History[edit | edit source]
The regular haircut has its origins in the military, where short hair is required for hygiene and convenience. Over time, it became popular among civilians due to its simple and clean appearance. In the 1950s and 1960s, it became synonymous with the "clean-cut" image of men in post-war America.
Styles[edit | edit source]
The regular haircut can vary in length and styling. The back and sides can be cut with scissors for a longer look or with clippers for a shorter cut. The top can be styled in various ways, including:
- Flat Top: Where the hair is cut and styled to stand up straight, forming a flat surface on top.
- Crew Cut: A type of haircut where the hair on the top of the head is cut short and stands up.
- Ivy League: A longer version of the crew cut, also known as a Princeton cut or Harvard clip, where the hair is long enough to style with a side part.
Maintenance[edit | edit source]
Regular haircuts require regular maintenance to keep the desired length and style. It is typically recommended to get a haircut every 4-6 weeks. Styling products like gel, pomade, or wax can be used to achieve the desired look.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The regular haircut has been a staple in men's fashion for decades. It is often associated with professionalism and a conservative style, making it a popular choice for businessmen and professionals. However, with variations in length and styling, it can also be adapted to suit a more casual or modern aesthetic.
