Many men prefer to wear shorter hair because it can take years off their appearance. Below are some examples of short hairstyles favored by men who want to look younger than they are.
Traditional crew cuts involve cutting all of the hair to less than ¼ inch in length. Created by military barbers as a way to control lice infestations, crew cuts have been shown to make many men appear to be up to 10 years younger than their actual age. The very short hair tends to give a sort of "baby faced" appearance when the man is clean shaven.
High and tight is another popular hair style for men. This hairstyle involves cutting the sides and back of the hair very short, while leaving the top slightly longer. This haircut is favored by men who do not wish to look quite so boyish. The longer hair on top may be combed to the side.
The traditional flattop is another popular short style. The sides and back are cut as with a crew cut while the top is left about twice as long and shaped to form a flat area on top of the head. Made popular in the 1950s, this hair style is still common and is considered appropriate for men in many different professions.
All of these styles have the affect of taking years off a man's appearance. For this reason, they are becoming popular again with men in their 30s and early 40s. Shorter hair styles for men are always in style and accepted regardless of a man's profession.
