Bob cut
A classic short hairstyle where it is cut above the shoulders in a blunt cut with typically no layers. This style is most common among women.Bouffant
A style distinguished by smooth hair that is heightened and given extra fullness over teasing in the fringe area.Bowl cut
Named for the shape of the style as much as for a once-common method of achieving it (i.e. using a bowl to style the cut by placing it on the head and trimming the open hair). Moe Howard from The Three Stooges has this hairstyle for his trademark and Henry V of England had a similar hairstyle. This hairstyle was popular in the United States (for straight hair textures) during the late 1980s and early 1990s.Broccoli haircut
Named for its visual similarity to a floret of broccoli. It is associated with boys in Generation Z and gained popularity through Internet memes on TikTok.Bunches
Another name for pigtails worn braided or unbraided.Butch cut
A butch is a type of haircut in which the hair on the top of the head is cut short in every dimension. The top and the upper portion of the back and sides are cut the same length, which generally ranges between 5 millimeters (.25 in) and 20 millimetres (.75 in), following the contour of the head. The hair below the upper portion of the sides and back of the head is tapered short or semi-short with a clipper, in the same manner as a crew cut.Buzz cut
A buzz cut, or wiffle cut, whereby the hair is very short and typically cut with manual hair clippers.Caesar cut
The Caesar cut is a men's hairstyle that is cut to a regular fade with the bangs or fringe left longer than the top length.Chonmage
A variation on the traditional topknot and tonsure of samurai in Feudal Japan, today worn by sumo wrestlers. Unlike the samurai tonsure, the top of the head is never shaved for this hairstyle.Comb over

A hairstyle where Afro-textured hair is straightened. This was popular among African-American men from the 1920s to 1960s.Crew cut
A crew cut or G.I. haircut is a type of haircut in which the hair on the top of the head is cut relatively short, measured in length from the longest hair that forms a short pomp (pompadour) at the front hairline to the shortest at the back of the crown. The hair on the sides and back of the head is usually tapered short, semi-short or medium.About the text
