30 High And Tight Haircuts For Men
If you’re a guy who’s into clean cut haircuts that are quick and easy to style, a high and tight haircut might be right for you. You’ve probably already worn some version of a high and tight haircut. With most of the hair on the sides and back of the head cut super short, it’s a popular haircut that makes getting ready in the morning a breeze, and will have you looking presentable no matter what the day has in store. To get an idea of how versatile this cut can be, take a look at 30 of our top high and tight haircuts for men.
1High And Tight Crew Cut
2Skin Fade With Fringe
3High And Tight Recon
Named after its popularity among military members on reconnaissance missions, this high and tight style is shaved to a uniform length on the sides of the head and from the crown of the head backwards. If you’re not in the military, this style can come across as quite edgy in addition to being easy to style.
4Smooth Fade With Beard
5Gradual Fade With Straight Fringe
6Side Combed High And Tight
Longer hair on top actually lets you go for a side combed styling on this high and tight haircut, but hair is still short enough that you won’t need to use a blowdryer to make your side combed style look perfect. Depending on you hair’s texture, a small amount of pomade or styling cream should help you recreate this look.
7Textured Fringe
An excellent trick for any guy working with a receding hairline is to leave hair slightly longer and textured right at the front of the hairline. This gives you some hair to style without looking like you’re attempting to disguise your hairline.
8High Fade With Straight Fringe
This high and tight haircut actually features a lower fade than some of the military examples, but it’s still quite a high fade compared to men’s haircuts in general. Choose this option if you’re trying to camouflage your head shape or just prefer to have a little bit more hair left on the crown of your head. A straight across fringe is the perfect finishing detail to this style, and shows people that you’re not into home clipper jobs.
9Medium Length Crew Cut
10Comb Over
11Basic High And Tight
12High And Tight With Hard Part
13Dramatic Fringe
14High And Tight Butch Cut
15Sculpted Comb Over
This high and tight haircut leaves more room to play with styling, as hair is left long enough on top to wear in a sculpted comb over style. A water-based pomade will probably help you yield the best results with this style, but guys with finer textured hair should begin with a small amount and add more product if required.
16Recon Comb Over
17V-Shaped High And Tight
This high and tight haircut is similar to the “recon” variety, but it features a wider section of hair at the back of the head that gives it a V-shaped look. The pictured version has the back and sides shaved at a very close, uniform length, but you could add a slight fade to this style if you’d prefer.
18High And Tight Flattop
This high and tight haircut falls into the flattop category thanks to its very obvious flat-on-top shape. A skilled barber will usually use a comb and clippers to get the flattop shape just right, and the combination of high and tight sides and the flat surface on top make this a very regimented, military look.
19Subtle Flattop Haircut
20Modern High And Tight With Hard Part
Bringing a little more 21st century trend than some of the more standard styles, this modern high and tight haircut is the perfect mix of structure and style. Leaving hair longer on top allows for some styling choice, while a slim hard part makes for a dapper detail that shows you have an eye for fashion.
21Round Top High And Tight
22Spiked High And Tight
23Trendy High And Tight
If Ryan Reynolds is doing it, there’s a good chance other guys are about to follow suit. After all, who wouldn’t want to emulate a guy who stars in movies like Deadpool and is lucky enough to call himself Blake Lively’s husband? His version of the high and tight haircut features slightly tousled hair on top, and matched with his scruffy beard it strikes the perfect balance between presentable and rugged.
24Squared Off High And Tight
25Comb Over With Hard Part
26Dyed High And Tight For Natural Hair
27High And Tight Burr Cut
28High And Tight Faux Hawk
Sharpen up the look of your mohawk with a high and tight fade. We’re still calling this haircut a faux hawk instead of a straight up mohawk because the faded area connects the longer pieces of hair on top with the shaved portions on the side, and the longer hair doesn’t extend all the way down to the nape of the neck.
29Edgy High And Tight
