Short hair is a world of possibilities - think everything from military classics like the Buzz Cut or Flat Top to timeless icons like the Quiff. And of course, the nostalgic cuts inspired by Peaky Blinders, with Thomas Shelby’s Textured Crop and Arthur Shelby’s Disconnected Undercut stealing the spotlight.
As summer heats up, here are some sharp, cool styles worth trying. Who knows? One might just become your go-to summer signature. 😉
Buzz cut
The Buzz Cut, also known as the "crew cut," might seem too straightforward for some, lacking the volume and flair of trendier styles.
But that simplicity is its strength - no products or fuss required. Just wake up, throw on your outfit, and you're good to go. The cut works best with a well-rounded head shape, especially around the crown and nape, as it leaves little to hide. To keep it looking sharp, a quick clipper trim once a week does the trick.
High & Tight with a Fade
A military staple, the High & Tight is all about clean, disciplined style. The twist? A fade effect on the sides and back brings it a modern edge.
The length on top can vary, but it should stay on the short side to keep that precise, no-nonsense look that defines the cut.
Drop-fade Pompadour
The Pompadour has evolved way beyond its classic 1950s origins, thanks to creative barbers and hairstylists. The drop-fade detail adds a subtle contrast that emphasizes the iconic pompadour fringe, running behind the ears and around the head.
With each passing year, barbers put a fresh spin on this 70-year-old style, making it feel right at home in today’s trends.
Crew cut
If the Buzz Cut is a bit too minimal, the Crew Cut offers a slight step up, allowing for just enough length on top to play around with. It’s cool, clean, and lets you stretch your barber visits a bit longer.
The Crew Cut’s versatility makes it flattering for almost any face shape, especially round ones, as it adds structure and length to your look.
Quiff
No short-hair list is complete without the Quiff. Think of it as a more relaxed, lower-maintenance Pompadour. Grow out the bangs just enough to sweep them to the side for a touch of volume without too much lift.
Neat and tidy quiff.
Intentional fallen quiff for a touch of edge.
The Quiff can go from tidy to tousled for an effortless, edgy vibe. The trick is balancing the longer bangs with a shorter cut on the sides and back.
Textured Crop
Also known as the "Peaky Blinders cut," the Textured Crop has become a modern classic. Pro tip: always bring a reference photo to the barber, especially for detailed styles like this one, to make sure they nail the look you’re after.
With a high fade on the sides and back, the top is left long enough to brush forward, giving the bangs volume and a bit of edge. This cut is also perfect for covering up a thinning hairline - stylish and smart!
