Hairstyles play an integral part in military service. Experts note that tight buns may cause scalp issues and prevent soldiers from wearing their combat helmets correctly, among other topics. The new grooming rules, created by a panel of 10 Black women, also permit female soldiers to wear braids, twists, and cornrows as long as they remain uniform and don’t interfere with headgear.
Hard Part
A tricky part is an eye-catching style that adds drama to military haircuts. Its under-shaven close function creates an eye-catching, intense look – ideal for men who wish to show off their unique hair texture. To obtain this cut, ask your barber to remove the guard from your clippers and trim down your locks to just millimeters of length.
High and Tight
Another military-style haircut, the high and tight, is an almost bald style with minimal maintenance needs, making it an excellent option for men with thin or receding hair who wish to create the illusion of volume and thickness in their locks.
Regulation Cut
The regulation cut is a classic Army haircut with taper fades at the sides and back and a short crop on top, which allows men to style their hair with a side part for maximum versatility. Perfect for professional men who wish to maintain a sleek and timeless appearance.
Buzz Cut
Military haircuts have long been associated with men in the army. Although military regulations prohibit facial hair such as beards from growing in, this style still conveys discipline and no-nonsense toughness that translates well into civilian society. This haircut’s short sides and long top create a square shape to add structure to your face. Additionally, this look works well if your hair has thinned, as the contrast between the short sides and the longer top can give the illusion that it has more volume in its locks. Combine this military haircut with a comb-over fade if you want a unique style. This look consists of a skin fade or shaved undercut on the sides and back, with about an inch longer hair on top left uncut; all styles then need some product applied before being styled over with a comb-over.
Crew Cut
Military haircuts tend to be short and sharp, which makes sense, given that military rules prioritize practicality and a uniform team look. Still, military members have some freedom in personalizing their look with classic crew cuts or pompadour hairstyles that feature texture or volume to give these rigid adaptations some flair. A dab of gel product may help add texture or volume. Low-fade haircuts are ideal for guys with thick hair that is easy to style, such as thick locks. A low fade is a simple cut that makes the sides and back of your head invisible – approximately three inches before your natural hairline. The regulation cut is an iconic military-inspired haircut, making it a favorite among business professionals and barbershop regulars. It features low taper fades on both sides, along with some length at the crown that can be styled into a side part for maximum style versatility.
Fade
Military haircuts typically feature a fade, creating a classic and clean appearance while emphasizing facial hair. This style works well for anyone seeking both stylish and dapper, and regardless of hair texture – just be sure to run Dove Men Care Medium Hold Molding Paste through the top for a polished look! This style is an updated take on the classic crew cut, featuring a sharp mid-fade and lineup. Low maintenance requirements make this style suitable for most facial structures. This high and tight army haircut features longer hair in the center than is traditional for a crew cut, yet it still looks short overall. Its sides and back have also faded almost to skin tone, creating a uniform appearance.
Side Part
The Side Part military haircut involves trimming only your top layers while leaving the sides short, providing volume concealment while making maintenance simple and stylish. Achieving this look is easy; ask your barber for medium length on top with either skin faded fades or chiseled fades for your fades; use gel or pomade to keep your locks in place and brush to the side before finishing up with a straight face finisher!
