Definition[]

A short haircut or short hairstyle on mans refers to the styling of short hair, usually on the head. The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, popular and even sexual considerations also influence some hairstyles.


Defining factors[]

A hairstyle's aesthetic considerations may be determined by many factors, such as the subject's physical attributes and desired self-image or the stylist's artistic instincts.

Physical factors include natural hair type and growth patterns, face and head shape from various angles, and overall body proportions; medical considerations may also apply. Self-image may be directed toward conforming to mainstream values (military-style crew cuts), identifying with distinctively groomed subgroups (e.g., punk hair), or obeying religious dictates (e.g., the Sikh practice of Kesh), though this is highly contextual and a "mainstream" look in one setting may be limited to a "subgroup" in another.

A hairstyle is achieved by arranging hair in a certain way, occasionally using combs, a blow-dryer, gel, or other products. The practice of styling hair is often called "hairdressing", especially when done as an occupation.
