Traditional military men’s cut: classic and practical option for everyday life
The traditional military cut is the same as the models used by soldiers on the battlefield and training center in its original format. This style is characterized by the sides cut very low, practically shaved, and the top of the hair a little higher, but still quite short. Very quick and practical to be made, the cut is made only with a scraper, using a comb closer to the sides and another with two or three numbers above to leave the region with a minimum length. As it is quite short, the traditional model does not need styling or special care, just wash your head and leave the house. Despite being a practical option for everyday life, a model needs regular maintenance at the barbershop so as not to lose its original shape. To keep your haircut always up to date, visit your barber every three weeks or once a month to touch up your haircut.
The undercut is a bold cut option full of attitude
We couldn’t talk about military-inspired men’s cuts without mentioning the undercut. Inspired by the traditional models used by soldiers, this model is distinguished by having the sides of the head and the back of the neck completely shaved, contrasting with the elongated top. Democratic and versatile, the undercut can be adopted with different lengths and different top styles, and can be combined with a structured topknot or shaved hair closer to the scalp. To make your look as practical as possible, it is best to bet on shorter lengths, just enough to highlight the natural texture of your strands with an ointment or hair wax, so as not to affect the functionality of the look. To do this, ask your barber to keep the sides shaved and cut the frayed top with the help of scissors to add more movement to the strands. To finish off the top of your undercut, choose a light hold ointment with a natural finish, such as Wax Pomade, by Redken Brews, and apply to hair to style it the way you want. “It leaves the threads with a light effect of shine and a natural look, promoting a smooth fixation without removing the malleability of the threads”, explains Redken Artist, Guilherme Araújo .
Flat top: the geometric shaped male haircut is also military-inspired
Another variation of the military style is the flat top cut, which has a geometric shape and is very popular among men with curly hair. The model is very similar to the undercut, with the nape and sides very close or even completely shaved. The main feature of the look is in the region of the top of the head, which is cut in a straight line, which gives the geometric shape quite prominent. This straight finish leaves the look with a super modern finish and full of attitude, ideal for those who like a haircut that is out of the ordinary. If you have straight or wavy hair, you need to invest in finishing ointments to leave goose bumps to highlight the square shape of the cut. When styling straight hair, apply some of the paste Work Hard by Redken Brews, into the strands and comb them towards the top to create a spiky finish with plenty of structure and long lasting.
Crew cut: the most discreet and simple version of military-inspired cuts
This is one of the more popular versions of the military-inspired cuts that don’t have completely shaved sides. The design consists of sides and nape that are slightly shorter than the top, which is considered short but is long enough to be styled and textured. To adopt the look, your barber will need to use a shorter machine on the sides, and scissors on top, to create a more frayed finish and create a disconnected effect on the strands. By having a slightly longer length at the top, you can take advantage and invest in styling the region to vary the look. Among the possible stylings, you can bet on a polished finish, with hair slicked back, or opt for a bolder style and leave the hair sticking up. To elaborate the finish of your crew cut, it is important to use a special ointment to give more texture and fixation to the strands, like Maneuver by Redken Brews . With medium hold, residue-free finish and emollient texture, it is perfect for building different finishes without making the strands stiff.
Bet on a military cut with an elongated top so you don’t compromise on versatility
If you want to adopt a practical haircut but don’t want to give up the versatility of the long length, how about keeping the size of the hairs at the top of the head and shaving only the sides? The military cut with an elongated top allows for different ways of styling and will never make you sick of its look. While the shaved sides will leave you more refreshed and with less hair to care for, the hairs on the top of the head can be arranged in a pompadour topknot, side part or even combed back into a slicked back hair. Another suggestion to complement the look is to bet on the gradient effect on the sides to create a more detailed effect to the cut. According to the expert, the secret to vary the styling of the cut is in the products you use. “Of course, the cut is the main structure, but without the product we can’t achieve the result”, he explains. To create a more structured finish, such as a topknot, the ideal is to choose a finisher that provides more control over the strands, such as Outplay Pomade, to provide fixation and structure for the wires. Consult your hairdresser to find out which look is best for you.
