Noteable Haircuts & Hairstyles Reference
Bun A bun (also known as a Bobtail) is a type of hairstyle, typically worn by women, where the hair is pulled back from the face, twisted or plaited, and wrapped in a circular coil around itself, typically on the back of the head or neck. They can either be secured with a hairpiece, a hairnet and bobby pins or simply by bobby pins. They may be tightly gathered or slightly messier and more informal. Buns, like ponytails, may cause headaches if worn too tight or up too high on the head. Blowout / Taper hair with anywhere from 5 millimetres to 50 millimetres (a quarter inch to 2 inches) of the fringe "taped" up with hair gel. A blowout also refers to a blowdry style using a round brush. Buzz Cut A buzz cut (sometimes known as a wiffle or crew cut) is the American name for a type of haircut named after the sound of the electric razor, which is used to shear the hair very closely to the scalp. In the United Kingdom, the haircut is called a skinhead (although the skinhead hairstyle was originally called a skiffle). In the Philippines it's called a semi. In Singapore it is often called a "GI (number)", with the number representing the seven different grades. It is also a popular summer haircut for children, mainly males. A bob is a short haircut that became modern for women in the early 1920s. In the 1970s it became popular as a men's style, in which the hair is cut short, but a weighted area is left to fall between the ears and chin. In 2007 Victoria Beckham made popular a bob cut with slightly longer hair in front, cut in an asymmetrical style, a "Pob" (Posh bob). Bowl Cut A bowl cut, also known as a beach cut, pot haircut, and a mushroom cut, is a haircut where the hair is cut short on the sides and back and allowed to grow long on the top, looking as though someone put a bowl on the head and cut off all the visible hair. Caesar Cut The Caesar cut is a men's hairstyle, with a short, horizontally straight cut fringe. The hair is layered to around 1 to 2 inches all over. It is named after Julius Caesar, whose images frequently depict him wearing his hair in this style. For American youths of the 1990s, it is also called a Clooney cut, because it was worn by actor George Clooney on the TV show ER. An alternate version of the Caesar cut, is a short men's cut with a defined edge line on all sides of the head. When cut this way and gelled to give extra definition, it is called a French Crop. This style was popular amongst British males in the mid 1990s.
