Ivy League Men's Haircut: Features and Ideas
Haircut with several names
Many names for one haircut are an absolutely common occurrence in the work routine of a hairdresser. In this article, we look at an Ivy League-style haircut that is suitable for clients with alopecia! Let's read.
Very stylish in appearance and easy to wear, the Ivy League style haircut is one of the variations of the so-called crew cut. You may also come across other names: “Harvard” or “Princeton”. Yes, clients like to call this haircut differently.
“Ivy League” can be considered a classic, so feel free to offer it to clients who strive for a sophisticated, neat look.
Despite the fact that the Princeton is similar to a very short crew cut, it needs to leave enough length in the crown area so that when styling the hair can be parted.
This haircut also received its “Harvard” name from the community of prestigious American universities, because the Ivy League is an association of eight private American universities located in seven states in the northeastern United States. Students of these particular educational institutions wore these haircuts and styles back in the last century.
The main characteristics of the haircut are a short cut at the back of the head and temples, length in the crown area for a neat parting and oblique bangs.

This haircut is often recommended to clients who are losing hair, because it is perfect for different types of baldness. “Ivy League” hides the hairline, and the styling style has many variations: on the sides the hair length is 0.5-1 cm, which reaches 7-10 cm closer to the parietal part. Or vice versa: the difference in hair length is insignificant, but there is bang. The whole secret is in the comb: forward or to the side.
Although the Ivy League haircut is a variation of the crew cut, there are fundamentally different differences. In addition to being tapered on the sides and long at the top, Ivy League haircuts are typically longer than crew cuts and can be easily combed into a neat side part. In a crew cut, the hair is short and straight, and you won’t be able to comb it.
