Summarize this article:

Most men prefer shorter hairstyles. If you're not ready to give up your long, feminine locks, try tying them back in a ponytail or sporting a "man bun." If you want to cut your hair short, familiarize yourself with the names of different men's hairstyles before getting it cut. Taper Cut- A short haircut with the sides and back of the head cut progressively shorter down toward the neck. Bowl Cut- Longer hair around the top of the head, shorter hair around the lower part of the head, with little or no blending in between the two lengths. Looks like someone placed a bowl on your head and simply cut around it. Brush Cut- Short, tapered hair around the sides of the head, uniform in length at the top of the head. Hair at the top of the head is styled straight up to resemble the bristles of a brush. Business Man's Cut- Generic term for a shorter (but not too short), conservative haircut, appropriate for the office. Hair is short and tapered around the sides and longer at the top to allow for a part. Caesar Cut- Back and sides are tapered, while hair at the top of the head is layered one to two inches in length. The top hair is combed forward giving the effect of bangs. Crew Cut- Very short cut that is tapered on the back and sides and top of the head. Fade- Extremely tapered cut, with hair on the sides and back cut very close to the head and tapered upward to a longer length at the top of the head. Flat Top- Back and sides are very tapered, while hair on the top is cut to stand straight up. There are several different kinds of hairstyling products that can help to maintain a masculine hairstyle. Each product is used to achieve a specific look. Pomade- Use on shorter styles, to create texture. Wax- Use to add shine. Mud- Use on longer styles, to create a "disheveled" look. Cream- Use to control frizz. Gel- Use for a strong hold or to create a "wet" look. Hairspray- Use to add volume and greater control to hair. With shorter hairstyles, men need to be more conscious of the hair on the backs of their necks and the way their sideburns look. They have less hair to hide under than most women do. Be sure to talk to your barber about how you want your neck hair and sideburns cut and shaped.
