Ivy League Haircut
Go for a classic Ivy League or introduce some modern touches to the style – combine it with a fade, try a shaved part, style with spikes or pair with a beard. Here’s a good list of ideas on the subject.
#1: Long Ivy League
This is the classic version of the preppy cut. We see this often on professionals and on celebrities too. To get this high-end appeal, get a semi-short or medium taper on the sides and back. Keep the shortest hair at a quarter of an inch and the longest hair at two to three inches.
#2: Stylish Quiff
While the Ivy League haircut typically incorporates a side-part, it can be styled in many ways. The difference in length between the longer hair on top and the shorter hair on the bottom isn’t too drastic, but the quiff stands out. This modern version is swept forward for volume.
#3: Short and Spiky Haircut
A short haircut is low maintenance and easy to style. But you have to make sure that it isn’t boring. This look uses just the right amount of pomade or styling cream to create volume. For a messy, imperfect effect, use your fingers—not a comb.
#4: Ivy League with Comb Over
Because of the side-sweep, this version reads a little more classic, but it’s also modern thanks to the low fade. Notice how the styling is perfectly smooth? That’s the work of a comb. Learn which tools help to provide the desired effect. You can add gel to the hair and then sculpt it with a comb.
#5: Classic Smooth Hairstyle
This Ivy League haircut has a key element—volume in the front. It’s not really that hard to achieve day-to-day when your stylist leaves that part of the hair longer, and your hair isn’t too thin. Simply use your fingers and some gel or holding spray. Five minutes with a blow dryer will also do the trick.
#6: Clean Cut with Fade
To ask your stylist for this cut, say you’re looking for a deep side part and a regular fade that cuts to the skin at the temples and in the back. With the top hair about an inch and a half long, you can style it to the side, to the front, or (like here) a combination.
#7: Ivy League with Mid Fade
This middle-high fade looks very modern with a beard. The clean lines around the temples and along the forehead keep the style city-approved. Use gel or pomade to style hair forward. With your fingers, pull hair upwards so it has texture and volume.
#8: Ivy League with Clean Lines
This Ivy League haircut has clean lines and smooth styling—so it reads more urban and less preppy. For men with thicker hair, it’s easier to pull off very short lengths. Ask your barber for a fade that tapers down towards the nape instead of going straight across.
#9: Close Cropped Ivy League
For a classic take on this hairstyle, don’t let it get too stiff. Use just enough product to achieve the side part. The front and upper sections of hair should be as soft and touchable as possible to stay true to the original look.
#10: Forward Combed Hair Style
Combing hair straight forward onto the face was very popular in the nineties, and it’s quickly making a comeback. Why? It’s a playful look that is universally flattering. You’ll need to style your hair when it’s damp. If you wait until it’s dry, you’ll have a much harder time.
