As the name suggests, it’s an extremely short, neat haircut that’s found a purpose other than just keeping hair clipped to regulation length (and therefore free from obstructing your vision on the battlefield). It spiffs up its wearer in a snap; but it’s also actually a pretty democratic haircut, and has yet to find a hair type—from straight to wavy to super curly—that it can’t work with. Not bad for the little ex-military haircut that could, no? Scroll on: If you have straight hair that’s faded into a high and tight, try giving hair more definition with a fine-toothed or rat-tail comb instead of a sponge. Better yet, use your fingers to point-style: Simply rake the cream through your head, and mold at will.

Here are 5 ways to wear the high and tight haircut for men:
1. Salt and Pepper
The high and tight haircut is that age-defying style that allows you to achieve a clean-cut and trendy style at any age. Pair it with a full beard and some length up on top to balance out the shaved sides of this style. Use hair gel to streamline the style and keep your hair looking neat and tidy.
2. Closely Cropped
Ideal for summer and staying cool in the heat, this closely cropped version of this trend will take you through August and beyond. Pair it with a closely cropped beard for an overall clean-cut style. The best part about this style is that it requires zero styling!
3. Hipster Vibes
You’ll be spotting this style on everyone from corporate types to hipster startup CEOs. Talk about a universal style! The full beard takes this hipster style up a notch and offers a trendy yet classic style.
4. Classic High and Tight Haircut
This clean-cut style is one of those classic styles we love for guys of all ages and all hair types. Use just a touch of hair gel to streamline the top of the style and to ensure that the length stays as clean-cut as the rest of the style.
5. Wear It Curly
If you think you can’t pull this style off with curly hair, think again. We love this high contrast look and how it allows you to show off your curls with confidence. The shaved sides keep this style from overwhelming your face while still allowing your natural texture to shine through. Thinking about trying out one of these styles?
