A butch haircut is an exciting hairstyle for men.

It is a short haircut with an actual length of hair over your entire head.

It originated from the army, making it among the most attractive military haircuts that are also extremely short.

What’s great about this cut is that it is easy to pair it up with a fade or undercut, adding more contrast to the look and making it more defined.

25 Most Popular Butch Haircuts

Short

The short butch haircut is also called the burr cut. It is easy to maintain and style and can give you an edgy and sharp look. It is also versatile in fitting all hair types and facial shapes.

Long

This is technically short but longer than the classic or traditional butch haircut. Go for this if you are not fond of showing off your scalp and want different choices for styling.

Butch Cut Fade

This style is trendier and more pronounced. It also boasts of its nice and high contrast. It also allows you to adjust how bold the cut is by picking between the high bald and the low shadow fade.

Butch Cut With Beard

As the name suggests, it requires combining your minimalist butch cut with facial hair. The cut is compatible with all beard types, including the short stubble and the full beard.

Bald Fade

It is a good choice for those with thick hair. It comes with a thick and long top and short sides. The mid-section should also be thick. Integrate a side part and a high fade to the entire look.

Butch Cut With Hard Part

After getting your butch haircut, integrate a hard part into the style. This will boost the appeal and charm of your butch cut in the same way as when wearing temple fade haircuts.

Flat Top

Choose to combine your butch haircut with a cool flat top haircut. You will never regret it as it is one of those cool and sexy hairstyles for men.

Burr Cut

Make your hairstyle look sharp with a burr cut. It requires your top hair to be trimmed short and sharp. After that, incorporate a low fade to every side of your hair.

You can also go for the butch cut worn by Chris Evans from time to time. Keep even-length hair around your head and make the top a bit longer.

Steve Jobs’ Butch Cut

Steve Jobs’ butch cut is slightly longer than usual, but the exact length is retained. The fact that it is longer means it can get effortlessly messy, but it still looks good, especially when dealing with receding hairlines.

Butch Cut With Temple Fade

You can also incorporate the temple fade into the bush cut. Here, you will have to leave the hair on your crown long and then fade it gradually, providing an even haircut. It is a great way to give your face more structure.

Long Butch Cut With Side Sway

This is as attractive as the side-swept hairstyles. Using hair gel or clay, you must integrate a side sway in your long butch cut. This helps maintain the shape the entire day. If you have long enough hair, comb it to create a soft right or left part.

To sport, this style, apply hair clay. Experiment with various looks by integrating a small pomp or side-sweep into the cut. Form a deep contrast to your hair by adding a tricky part.

Butch Cut With Taper Sides

This style has some similarities to the butch cut with a fade. You can expect the tapering to come in the form of reducing it gradually, either to your skin or a buzz.

How to Get and Maintain

Step 1 – Research

Research the different variations of butch haircuts and figure out which one fits your facial shape and overall look and personality explicitly.

Step 2 – Keep your cut short

Note that the butch haircut is low-maintenance, that you only have to maintain a short and even cut over your entire head. You can also combine this style with an undercut or a fade.

Step 3 – Trim your back and sides regularly

You can do this on your own or with the help of an expert or professional barber. Make it a point to check your hair for missing patches now and then.

Step 4 – Use some hair product

Apply hair products, like hair pomades for men to help keep up your hairstyle and maintain its overall shape. You may also need to use hair clay, hair gel, or mousse to create a more textured look if your butch haircut is slightly longer.

Butch Cut vs. Crew Cut

The butch cut and the crew cut are different because of how they are styled. The butch haircut mainly features a uniform length. Crew cut gives anyone who wears the style more opportunity to be creative regarding the length of hair and styling.
